@arkokoley, @wdfee

works better by using  both xprofile_get_field_data and a user_id !

    $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();

// if “Class” is the field name
$mystuf = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Class’, $user_id );

Application example here:

http://wpmu.org/buddypress-profile-data-on-multisite/

please append to your groups directory url /create/ (e.g. http://mydomain.com/groups/create/ ) and see if you can access it

Thanks fee, this helps!!

My problem is that in the Group front end directory there’s no button to create a new group (nor is there one anywhere on the actual site)! I’ve been combing the forums trying to find a way to solve this but just can’t figure it out – tried uninstalling and reinstalling BP, enabling and unenabling groups, all other plug-ins, changing themes, etc etc. Any ideas??

Can you post a link to your site?

@modemlooper, I did the admin settings as directed. I had to go in and change in bp-share-it.php file to direct everything from buddypress-share-it to just buddypress….at least it got my icons to finally show.

In Forums – it works, it expands and drops, but drops vertically
In Groups – The Share Group Button works and it works horizontally like it suppose too
In Activity – It shows outside the share button, but shows vertically.

I just can’t get the activity to work, which sucks for me because that’s what everybody will be using. I just wish I can get this wonderful script to work for me so I can move on to the next task….. I REFUSE to Give up on this….. 😀

If your theme has BP template files you can delete them, you don’t need them anymore (or if you did far customizations you’d have to go through the files for changes). If your theme is a child theme of BP you should take a look into your functions.php if you’re overriding something. In the first lines of your style.css is there something like Template: bp-default or Tags: buddypress?

@roham – could you give me some simple pointers to get started with this integration? I already have s2 installed and working great with buddypress. How do I begin using Janrain engage on top of it all?

Does your theme have BuddyPress template files? Did you check using a standard theme (twentytwelve for example) if the issue appears there, too?

Congratulations! @shanebp @hnla
I wish you much success! 🙂

With BP 1.7 and bbPress 2.3 it became really easy. Just install them the usual plugin installation way (automatic through WP or via FTP).
Best is you first activate BuddyPress, you will see a welcome screen with a direct link to the settings. Change them if you want.
Then go back to plugins and activate bbPress, you will see a welcome screen again. You will see three new admin menu items (Forums, Topics, Replies). Got to Forums and add a new forum, maybe called “Group Forums”. Got to the bbPress settings under Settings -> Forums. Change them if you want – and scroll down to the very last option: Activate group forums for BuddyPress. Choose you’re Group Forum, save it. – That’s all! Now go ahead and create your first group via BuddyPress in frontend group directory.

Short answer: Yes it is. The question is how comfortable you need the language management (e.g. the connection of content between languages).

The newest version of WPML seems to have the ability to serve domains for different languages. Did’nt try it yet. http://wpml.org/
If not you could do it manually using WPML or qtranslate. Setup a subsite for each language and turn the preferred language for this site on in the site settings.

Your question seems not to be directly related to buddypress. But if you’re looking for that – there is a plugin by WPML for buddypress: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/

hi where to put this in function.php file

–remove_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_core_screen_signup’, 3 ); —
