Hi, I am quite new to the World of WordPress and Buddypress. I used to be a perl programmer and was a member of a community called Perlmonks. They were really great, if I needed help, I would get it instantly, and most questions were answered and most problems were solved by the community members fairly quickly. As a result I also wanted to help others and sometimes tried to help people even if I wasquite busy. I noticed that here in this forum, I sometimes ask questions and I get a few answers but I cannot always solve my problems. Also noticed that some people are realy rude to one another, and this made me wonder, why Perlmonks is so different. I could be wrong, because it is based on my own experience, maybe there are people out there who had similar experiances with Perlmonks as well. But I try to find a solutions on my own instead and it is consuming a lot of time. I was wondering having a voting/grading system like Perlmonks would make a difference and make this community a little more dynamic?
Hello,
I would like to display different member profiles for different types of groups. I have 2 groups: faculty and contributor. More accurately i want to disable components like bp Links and group docs wiki for the faculty group; i settled for removing the links to such.
i thought the best approach would be to check if a member is of a certain group and then based on the conditional statement, remove the unnecessary tabs in the profile menu. If there is a better approach. Please lead the way:)
http://www.depthleadership.co.za is the website. I have wordpress WordPress 3.5.1. I have buddypress 1.6.4.
in my theme’s function.php:
if(groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug('faculty'))){ function setup_nav() { global $bp; // Remove a menu item bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' ); } add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'setup_nav', 1000 ); }i’m stuck because, if i make the conditional statement truthy the appropriate tab is removed. So i know i can remove nav tabs with this function. If i place the code too check if the member is a part of a certain group into something like header.php it works. BUT for some reason, together in my functions.php file they do not.
I tried putting it into bp-custom.php, site just crashed.
Thank you for your time, any help would be appreciated 🙂
Hey,
to allow browsers more then the regular count of request, i decided to outsource my images to a subdomain. I used a method as described here:
Everything works fine and the loading time for post-archives and single-posts are much faster now. Also user-avatars are now served via subdomain, BUT the loading time for pages, which include more then 2-3 avatars (members-loop, bbpress reply-loop,…) is much longer now. Uploading new avatars works fine.
Error-log shows the following for every visited page, which includes avatars:
Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use ‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary.Is there an endless loop now? Did anyone have an idea, why dis happens and how i can fix it? Can i force Buddypress to serve the images from the regular wp-content-path (which is also accessible)? Could i test some changes at the bp_core_avatars.php?
Thanks a lot for any ideas, help and suggestions!
BP 1.6.1
WP 3.4.2
Site: tauschothek.deHaving looked through plug-ins for the solution, with no joy so far, I’m going to put my want list into this ‘Ideas’ forum. Maybe the method is out there and someone can point me at it… and if not, maybe it will germinate into something I can use eventually.
What I’d like to do is roll P2 Theme into BuddyPress so that I can do a bunch of things that are essentially ‘project management’. Some wish list items in no particular order:
– utilize the easy front posting P2 Theme to make the site easy to use. Not interested in doing project management stuff behind the scenes, in the dashboard area (which seems to be a common thing in the plug-ins I tried out).
– utilize the groups function in BP to separate users into logical groups – say, ‘design’, ‘administration’, ‘accounting’.
– allow site admin user to add members to groups – so far you have to ‘friend’ the person etc in BP (or so it appears to me!)… too complicated for the end users!
– incorporate the ‘P2 Resolved Posts’ and maybe ‘P2 Check In’ and ‘jonradio Private Site’ functions into the system
– incorporate the ability to sort the blog page by either date of original post, or date of latest EDIT or COMMENT. Currently the latest post is on the top and if a comment has been made to an old post from a month ago, you’ll only know if you look at the widget that indicates activity… not good enough for my purposes.
– incorporate the ability to filter the blog page by GROUP membership. This is the big one!!!So in daily use, the users will add posts containing new information relevant to their workgroup (or workGROUPS), edit existing posts to revise items if necessary (perhaps add another check box that P2 includes so nicely or revise an original detail), mark resolved or unresolved (P2 Resolved Posts idea) and add comments to existing posts. This is exactly what P2 Theme does now… with a plug-in or two… except it doesn’t allow the idea of workgroups.
The system would be much more functional if the BP power could be applied.
The extra functionality would allow different working groups to post/comment to the blog page as normal, but be able to filter out other work groups they aren’t interested in. They would be able to view the page based on the date of original post, or date of post revision, or date of latest comment. Therefore content could be displayed in an order that more reasonably and logically suits a workgroup user.
The power P2 Theme offers is huge, but it needs to go a little further to really do what I think it should…
Using bbPress seems like a reasonable option… except it doesn’t allow the quick and easy posting the way P2 Theme does… and would isolate each workgroup into a different forum. It feels like a confining method! I want to be able to select any of the workgroups I want shown (and belong to) and have them appear in the sort order I’ve selected.
I’ve included the jonradio Private Site plug-in in my function wish list, because it would allow the functionality described above to exist not just in an Intranet environment, but also (carefully) exposed to the Internet as well. Allowing workers in the field to update information would be very useful.
Hi,
I seem to have a very strange problem, of users registering on the buddy press website, but they are not showing up as users for the site. when i go and investigate i find they do exist but only the Network admin users. . and I have to manually go back into the site dashboard and add the user to the site. A previous installation of buddypress did not have this issue, and i’m wondering if i’m missing something, or have a setting wrong that is causing this?
any guidence would be much appreciated.
thanks!
Hey guys, need some help here with aligning the header bar of the default buddypress theme.
I am trying to use an ‘image logo’ and left align the ‘navigation menu’. This is the result I want:
My Image Logo
Home|Create|MembersWhat is happening right now is:
———————————-
|My Image Logo
———————————–
| | | Home|Create|Members
———————————–I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Here is the css for the nav bar that I am using:
#navigation #nav {
margin: 40px 0 0 20px;
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #000;}
CSS for the h1 tag:
#header h1 {
float: left;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-top: 0;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid #000;}
I have a site that is almost successful, but I’m stuck at that point… almost successful… and can’t seem to get it to the next level.
It’s a google news site, so I get some attention and traffic, but not enough.
Right now it’s just me and a few writers.
I need to raise our profile, increase traffic, improve the quality of our posts/writing, increase the number of our posts, and get writers that love what they are writing about and not just writing for the money.
It would take a lot of changes and there would be challenges, but I think my answer might be to build a community. A place where users can post news items, communicate on a forum, help each other, provide tips, spread the word about our stories, be involved – and have fun!
How do I build that community though? I’ve got a way to attract traffic, but I’m not sure how to convert that into a social network.
I see I can use buddypress and it looks like a good framework… but I realize am going to need more than just the framework to really build a successful, thriving, community.
I’m going to need someone who has done this before to lead me along and provide advice so I don’t fall flat on my face (been there way too many times after way too much work).
I need a mentor.
Someone who knows the steps I need to take not just to set up buddypress, but to actually build an active community. Preferably someone with some journalism experience.
Is there a volunteer out there that would be willing to consult/advise me over time? Someone that has actually built a community of thousands of users before? Someone really willing look at the details of my site and what I am doing, as I work on building a community?
If so, please contact me at dca@consultant.com so I can provide more details. No commitment at this point, I can just tell you about our site so you can consider helping.
Thank you very much,
Chris
