BuddyPress.org

It’s all cool. This is the Requests and Feedback forum 🙂

@sooskriszta can share the enhancement tickets he/she posted in BuddyPress Trac and lobby for such, exercising first amendment rights. Ticket #5008 reminds me of the original BP theme which had the avatars of group admin/mod under the avatar with member avatars below it 🙂

Dear aces,
Thank you for your suggestion to caedaldwych. I’d like to use it too.
My problem is that I can’t find the bp-custom.php file 🙁
The path “wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php” is incorrect.
Of course I went to buddypress’s directory and opened all subdirectories and still no bp-custom.php
It’s weird to ask for this type of help, but please advise me!
Thank you so much for your time!

Best regards,
Prolet

Hey there @yuttadhammo

can I brand it so that it has my sites logo, etc?

can I hardcode the url? -I think this feature disappeared

@fearracious glad you resolved the issue on your own 🙂
Marking this as resolved.

@carolinecalvert what theme are you using? Some themes have page titles which are not within the WP loop, hence BP cannot automagically insert the “Create Group” button beside the page title as seen https://mercime.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/groups-directory.png

On way is to create a link when user is logged in. You only need to append /create/ after your site’s group directory url, e.g. http://example.com/groups/create/

In upcoming BP version, the create a group link will also be added to the Member’s navigation in WP toolbar. If you’re adventurous, you can add the code to have those links already https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7062

+1 for that, was my primary thought regarding the anti-spam functionality i was referring to. actually had a sort of deep thought about that the other day.

i think in todays landscape on the internet spam is becoming an ever increasing issue and without doubt buddypress sites/admins are bearing in inordinate brunt of that battle. Now that we have lowered the bar of entry there is (if we have our way) liable to be a lot more fresh targets for these malicious interests. Nothing dissipates the enjoyment (by admins or users) of a social network faster or more easily then spamming. Not to in any way subtract from the great strides that have already been made in this regard, we owe it to not only our own community but the internet as a whole to be proactive and step up our game in regards to making these leaches lives more difficult.

Now stepping down from the soap box 😛

@jeffp808 BP Codex is your friend https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

I like your enthusiasm but it seems you’re getting a bit ahead of yourself. The trac for 1.8 has been on 100 active and outstanding tickets for weeks on end now and there is no discussion of 1.9 anywhere.

But as long as we’re throwing out ideas for the upcoming, I’d like to vote for throttling as discussed here:

bp rss feeds can definitely be erratic, we are working on it:

well i know that we are working on the feeds i have definitely seen erratic behavior in the bp rss feeds:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5020

Thanks @ubernaut for keeping us updated. Most of my feeds are working now with the exception of one. It sounds like generally there’s alot of buggyness across wordpress with regards to feeds and with similar mime type error messages showing not only in Buddypress

I hope this doesn’t sound stupid, but I’m new to BuddyPress and Woocommerce. I have 3 levels of members at my site. How do I create different levels of members in BuddyPress? I’m also confused as to setting up the General Settings for Subscribers. What do I set it to to connect the member profile to the Woocommerce when a purchase is made. Hope I’m making this clear.
