BuddyPress.org

I’m guessing that this is just a bug that there is no answer/fix to it yet? Or maybe its just not compatible with my Theme.

Thanks.

Why I had asked was that i noticed after doing updates to wp 3.4.1 and updating buddypress that on some test sites with child themes the bp compatibility notice was present.

On clicking it brought me to the screen 1 of the bp template compatibility pack.

As the theme already had the folders in-situ I would have thought it would have brought me to screen 3 of the bp compatibilty pack as in previous updates.

As it happens i had done (as i presume others would do) tiny tweaks to the activity, group index & group loop files.

So if I had pressed the compatibility button I presume my tweaks would have been lost.

When I update buddypress again, i’ll pay more attention to see if this repeats.

@valuser

that is strange. I took your chunk of code above and pasted it into the bp-custom.php page in my plugins folder, and this is what I get in my address bar:
http://localhost/members/user1//friends/

I get pushed to the member profile instead of their blog

my specs:
I am using wordpress MU 3.4 with BP ver 1.5.6. – I place the code in my plugin file bp-custom.php.
not sure why I would get a different result than you

Bummer,

And what if i lets say use Twenty Eleven as default theme and use the BuddyPress ‘Use your own Theme’ Support plugin?
Than BuddyPress files are added to my Twenty Eleven theme correct?

If you go to your profile or the activity stream and type in @admin I get a notification.

Do it on the forums, no notification.

Thanks for the reply Paul.

If the sharing of site is WordPress behaviour, why can’t ‘friends’ via BuddyPress see each others blogs? I would love it if my post went into the activity for all other users to view but that doesn’t seem to be happening.

I feel like I’m doing something wrong but I don’t know enough to know what that might be..

Thanks

BTW – I really appreciate your help! Thank you!

OK – dumb question but where are the 6 Clean BP folders?

I’ve looked within the BP zip and they’re not there. When I uploaded the BP Comp. pack (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/) it actually skipped over step two automatically.

Where do I go to see them?

Hi bollocks187-
I was just a little confused how groups was intended for use within WordPress/BuddyPress. To give you some insight as far as where I’m coming from, I’m moving from a Groupsite environment. In that environment, you can have ‘x’ number of groups. The groups can by hidden just like in WP/BP, but can have their very own content exclusive to them, which is hidden from non-members of that group (as expected). Likewise, members of a given group can communicate freely between each other. I was looking for a feature set within WP/BP that mimicks that behavior. The other thing missing is a peer recognition feature- kind of like a way for one user to endorse another. (another Groupsite feature). Think of this as a kind of letter of recognition from one user to another, so anyone visiting the endorsed member’s profile would see a senior member/administrator endorses/vouches for/recommends that user. I’ve been working with a messload of different plugins with varying levels of success/failure (far more failures than successes) and was getting a little frustrated -iterative testing to ensure a new plugin doesn’t break existing working plugins and trying to determine the UI for a new plugin since it’s often a sorely overlooked feature for so many developers.

I’m now looking into the possibility of using groups forums to address some of what I want to do, but am hoping that by doing so, it won’t confuse end users by having them try to contend with two separate types of forums – one open and public, and the other being ‘x’ number of private instances, one for each hidden group.

An explanation from a Group Mod would be nice.

I don’t want to ask a newbie question without first doing a thorough search. I guess google search it is for now.
