@b1gft there are a couple of simple ways to go about deleting “freshness” from group forums
1. Simplest of the rest -> Just add the following at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file
`span.time-since { display: none !important; }`
or 2. Copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.6/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php to your themes /forums folder, open it up and delete line #85
or 3. filter bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post in functions.php
Specs
1. WordPress latest
2. Buddypress latest
3. Frisco theme
4. Use bbpress 2.0 for group forums
5. Use “GD bbpress Tools” plugin to have a signature. (its sad that bbpress doesnt have such a basic feature)
For the second time in my entire life, I had a look at PHP and CSS. I hope I can cope with. Till then which is the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”?
Why nobody is helping me?
I think I found it, Its in bp-activity > bp-activity-template.php > starts line 1187 > bp_activity_time_since’
Thanks @rogercoathup for bp_insert_activity_meta() function hint
*Update*
bp_core_time_since( $activities_template->activity->date_recorded ) date_recorded would be the post date
so it looks like I need to make a new function that uses the regular PHP time function to display the time style
@venkateshmothe @raminjan there are two major BP album/gallery/media plugins which can handle video uploading to server or CDN
1. Free – BuddyPress Media beta version – http://code.google.com/p/buddypress-media/ not for live sites unless you are a developer yourself. Do read minimum requirements and other documentation
– Their stable version a.k.a BuddyPress Album is for images
2. Premium – BP Gallery – upload images, videos, audio as well as embed videos from youtube, vimeo etc. – http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-gallery/
@damler My instructions above should have fixed the “right sidebar dropping down”. What do you mean “as the central column expands”? Got to see it, site URL?
== Which CSS file must I edit, I don’t want to risk messing it up as it’s working great. ==
At the bottom of your easel theme’s style.css file.
@mercime I did do that. I mentioned it in my original post. The Register page works just as it is supposed to when the bp-default theme is activated.
I’m trying to find out what about my set up with the Suffusion theme is causing the conflict. It works with the bp-default theme, but I don’t want to use that theme. I’m wondering where do I go from here to get it working with my Suffusion theme.
@lacemastarson basic troubleshooting -> deactivate Suffusion BP Pack, and change to bp-default theme. See if issue is corrected.
@rogercoathup thanks to your help I just achieved what I wanted 
I’m doing this now and it’s working fine (still will polish it a bit more):
if ( !isset( $bp->groups->current_group ) || !$bp->groups->current_group || $gid != $bp->groups->current_group->id ) {
$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $gid ) );
} else {
$group = $bp->groups->current_group;
};
groups_record_activity( array(
'action' => apply_filters( 'groups_activity_new_update_action', sprintf( __( '%1$s publicó una actualización en %2$s', 'buddypress'), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '<a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . esc_attr( bp_get_group_name( $group ) ) . '</a>' ) ),
'content' => $content,
'type' => $type,
'item_id' => $gid,
'user_id' => $user_id
)
)
Thanks a lot for your help!!! 
Thanks for the reply @karmatosed
On the Changelog for the Suffusion BuddyPress Pack on the WordPress page it says they’ve added support for BuddyPress 1.6.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/suffusion-buddypress-pack/changelog/
@rogercoathup thanks for your help, do you have any links for documentation on that function? I’ll try to find out in the meantime If someone else has an example for what I need it would be awesome
@frank13 No problem glad I could be of assistance!
There was a group documents plugin, but that’s no longer available.
It would be a project to build these capabilities, but nothing too difficult for a BuddyPress developer — the starting point would be the groups extension API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/
You can adapt a theme to work with BuddyPress, your first port of call for that is to use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/
Hi, have you checked if the latest pack on Suffiusion supports the latest WordPress/BuddyPress? I see this:
WordPress 3.0 or higher
Suffusion 3.6.8 or higher.
BuddyPress 1.2 or higher
To me, that may be the issue is that it is not compatible. I’d probably suggest contacting the pack authors to confirm.
For ratings — have a look at GDPress and their star rating plugin
You can search for ‘buddypress.org anti spam’ on Google ( search doesn’t work on this forum ), and it should throw up a lot of previous discussion on the subject.
@djpaul also revealed that a coming version of BuddyPress will have Akismet support for activity stream entries (1.6 or 1.7… I can’t remember which).
@newpress — if you want to modify a website theme, at the very least you’ll need some HTML / CSS knowledge. It would be a good idea to book up on those before attempting to modify the look and feel of your site.
Hi, @raminjan you can certainly achieve that, both making it yourself working at code level or (what I suggest) start with a plugin that achieves the “private community” functionality and set yourself a “front page” (you’ll use a modified version of the login page I guess 
).
Here are some helpful links on how to do what you need:

Hope it helps! cheers,

@mercime thanks for all the help, it’s really appreciated. The site is almost 100% except that when I access any of the Buddypress sites the right sidebar drops down as the central column expands. Which CSS file must I edit, I don’t want to risk messing it up as it’s working great.
I’m also having the problem with my Register page just refreshing instead of going to the Sign Up Completed page. @james_zedd I thought I was having the problem you described, but then I realized it was taking me to the home page because I was already logged in to my site. Make sure you are logged out when you’re testing the Register page.
@RehaugeW hope your problem is resolved and that the solution helps me out.
And if someone could be extra kind and create a trac ticket for this over at https://BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org — be sure to link back to this discussion — I’ll be your BFF.
@pescholar thanks for all the information! Hopefully we can figure out a permanent fix for this.
@aces Yes, but it wasn’t obvious to me that setting the user_id to -1 would stop it matching against profle field data with user_id = 0, as I didn’t expect that situation to ever occur!
Two problems here. One, this zero matching. The second is how zero user ID profle data gets put into the database. We/I can definitely look to fix the first for BuddyPress 1.6 — I’ll look into it when I finish work
Oh, and I see @RogerCoathup chimed in during my research and troubleshooting.
Thanks “buddies”
