BuddyPress.org

OK, I poked around and I did find the problem, although I’m not sure I really understand it. Maybe a javascript conflict somehow?

I also found a fix, but it involved editing the core files, so not really advisable. But anyway, it works for now, and I’ll put it here so others can find it if they encounter the same issue. I would love it if someone more knowledgable than me could see what happened and why and maybe a better firx.

My workaround was to edit the core files bp-blogs/bp-blogs-template.php, bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php, and bp-members/bp-members-template.php

Each of those defines the search form for the different areas, and in each of them there’s a little onblur and onfocus javascript to fill in the value for the search field (“search members” or “search groups” or whatever).

The search form is in each of those, you can find it just by doing a text search for onfocus. Then you want to get rid of the javascript and just have the search field be blank.

So you’re looking for:

`value=”” onfocus=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}”`

and you just want to change that to

`value=””`

Not too elegant, and I realize that the next buddypress upgrade will break this and I’ll have to do it again, but it solves the problem for now. Still would be happy to hear other ideas!

I already make modification of style.css …I have copy the block show on the link at the website and paste at the bottom of the duotive-three style.css ….but nothing happen!!
What I have to do ?

This seems to be similar to the problem reported here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-directory-entries-disappear-using-drop-down-sorter-and-next-page-buttons/

He was using an unusual theme, and never reported back on whether that was the problem. For me, that’s not it.

So you unchecked the forum configuration in BuddyPress, correct? And then you placed forum in the permalinks settings for all of WordPress? Or is this during the BuddyPress install?

I ended up getting rid of, or trying to anyways, site-wide forums. What if I want to use group forums – am I able to still do this?

I appreciate the help. I’ve been desperately searching for an answer for this for days.

@Chris Clayton – thanks for pointing out future possibilities… It’s opened up lots of reading on responsive css…

Agh, so much!!!

@modemlooper – Me too – happy to read that BP mobile is alive and well!

Thanks for the quick response. I posted the ticket and tried to word it better here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4039

My solution for now is to either a) force users to login, b) moderate comments or c) install a plugin that sends an email to that address asking them to confirm it.

EDIT: I also posted an example comment here while I wasn’t logged in:

https://buddypress.org/2012/02/buddypress-1-5-4/comment-page-1/#comment-10176

If this gets approved, it’ll show up in my feed. Turns out, b) won’t work either. Even if comments are moderated and you approve a pending comment with an email that’s linked to an existing user, it’ll show up on that user’s feed still.

,Thanks for the reply. Ya I created a theme, and Installed the my buddypress in that way. And the create.php file.. I have it at the groups folder.

@ChrisClayton I’m still working on this

An issue I’ve noticed is that for some reason I cannot find, some activity buttons like add to favorites or comment are not working. For example, if I try to add an activity update to my favorites, it actually sends me to the URL http://mysite.com/activity/favorite/218/?_wpnonce=a067fd9559

I’ve checked and the URL is the exact same one that appears on other screens and the link works just fine (it applies some jQuery, I believe) but on this new page it takes me to that URL which is a 404.

Thank you again

Thanks for the reply!

So I did that… made the copy of the header and sidebar, and inserted those codes to the ends of them. Now it sort of scrunched everything inside of a box without the sidebar being on the right anymore… visit http://www.critterhub.com/forums/groups/ to see what I am talking about.

Did I do something wrong? Thanks!

Also…

Getting this strange white drop shadow effect on the admin menu bar. How do I fix this?

Or should I post this question in a different forum?

Thank you.

Hi @mercime,

Thank you for getting back to me.

I implemented your changes to all 16 files. Here is an example of what I got: http://myfilmaddiction.com/members/mfa-bot/

This is my main site: http://myfilmaddiction.com

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I am using wp 3.3.1. Buddypress version is 1.5.4. Internet Explorer 8. It is a new website, single wp. no i did not change themes. I might have installed plugins, but it worked fine until I went to change the slugs on the bbpress settings page. It works fine on firefox and chrome

@mercime,

When logged in on the left sidebar there are various links, such as activity, members, groups, and forums. When I click that forums link it goes to the forums directory page ex: site.com/forums. I would like that to go to the site-wide forum which is site.com/forums/forums/kudos-forum.

I have tried changing the forums slug in the bbpress settings to kudos, but than says page not found when I click the link in the nav bar.

you can look at the site (it is not finished) http://www.kudosbuzz.com
