BuddyPress.org

Are you sure that didnt work? Because they both work my end [though method on is not a good idea unless you want to disable them completely that class is used in a few places] Are you modifying the default theme files or using a child theme?

BP Media has a nice upload function accesable from the users profile, if you dig through their plugin files im sure youd find a similar function. Or are you looking for some sort of shortcode for users?

Theres also https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/screenshots/ which might be sort of what your looking for…

I just installed wordpress 3.1 and then I installed buddypress, and the Fishbook theme, nothing else, when I try to post a comment I get the same page not found error, with both the default theme, and the fishbook theme.

i think it’s – wp-content/plugins/buddypress/themes/default/activity/post-form.php

theres two lines with what’s new, i changed the the second one down and it worked for me.

Does your install/server meet minimum requirements?

Could you open a ticket on trac.buddypress.org pointing to the line that I linked above? I’ll have to install SWT and see how they changed it.

Thats bizarre ill have another look after breakfast… Its just the default theme with some colours changed yes?

@donnaamos
Are they typing nonsense into your registration fields and using email addresses that can’t possibly work, and then not doing anything at all on the site?

If so, I believe am also having this problem. I was actually just coming to ask what would be the best method to prevent such users from signing up.

I’m a bit confused about this whole thing. BuddyPress is supposed to block SWT posts out of the box: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-functions.php#L163 If it’s not working, then there’s a bug in BP.

@justbishop I don’t understand what you mean by “it will not save to the DB”? That plugin will help you block one of the duplicates, meaning one of them *will* still be recorded.

You have all your SWT’s post going into the main site, I would think to block main id 1 in your situation. This is what I found still works with the plugin i mentioned. Add to bp-custom.

`//if php is older then change $a to &$a
function my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save_1( $type, $a ) {
global $bp;

if ( $a->id )
return $type;

//key on the blog types (even for comments posted to that blog)
if ( $a->type == ‘new_blog_post’ || $a->type == ‘new_blog_comment’ ) {

//item_id is the blog_id in this context
//could add more blog_ids here as well or even parlay into switch_to_blog to block categories, etc
if ( $a->item_id == 1) {
$a->type = null;
return null;
}
}

return $type;
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_type_before_save’, ‘my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save_1’, 9999, 2);
`

@shanebp,

Did you get resolution on your question about “search terms”? Do you mind sharing the code that worked for you?

There is something that you can do, though it’ll mess up activity pagination (which, in the case of AJAX loading, means that the number of activity items loaded when you click “load more” will not always be the same number). It involves filtering bp_has_activities, looping through $activities_template->activities, and removing those items that are new blog posts from your blog.

Here’s an example of the technique, used to remove self-replies: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/couple-thoughts/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-112100

Use Paul his BP Labs plugin to make it more intuitive for the user.. it shows a nice popup as soon as someone types the @ character: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-labs/

And some preview images: http://bp-tricks.com/featured/add-mentions-auto-complete-to-your-buddypress-site-with-the-bp-labs-plugin/

Same problem here. Groups installed. Forum for groups installed and activated when i create a new group. But when I try to make a new theme is answering that the forum is not configured.

Hi,
I was trying ur solution to the unified search but everytime i do a search it only searches through the members. i did everything as instructed but it doesn’t work. Any ides??

Just remembered, bp uses archive.php for the posts view. Open up archive.php and edit line 37 and remove the entire span tag and its contents. Leave the rest if you want tags to show up…

In your style.css you could add the lines:

.comments{
display: none;
}

Its not the prettiest way, but it should work. The double lines still exist though so you might wanna change the css for .postmetadata to…
