BuddyPress.org

Delete the line “ from header-buddypress.php

Ok I insert the lines as you instructed me. I keep getting this error message on the “Activity” page although:

Warning: include(/home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/includes/top_info.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/header-buddypress.php on line 77

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘/home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/includes/top_info.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/brbabb/public_html/wp3/wp-content/themes/Theme/TheStyle/header-buddypress.php on line 77

Any idea what’s happening here?

You’re welcome. Sorry, I should have stated it more clearly

Edit – ok, revised wording in adding code to header- and sidebar-buddypress.php

Just to be clear did you update your theme files along with BuddyPress 1.5?

@mercime, ok that’s what I thought you meant, I’m going to try it again now. TY!

When I say BOTTOM for header-buddypress.php and sidebar-buddypress.php, I mean post given codes after all other pre-existing content in respective files. When I say TOP for sidebar-buddypress.php, I mean post given code above all other pre-existing content, the first line of the file.

Your theme’s original header.php and sidebar.php files should not be changed at all.

If you don’t have a page associated with the Activity component, I don’t think activity permalinks will work (though that needs checking).

At the moment, there is no simple way to remove the message. (Though you could remove it from the $bp global at admin_init if it bothered you that much.) It’s a good idea for an enhancement ticket, though http://trac.buddypress.org

@mercime, thank you for helping me. I appreciate it. I was unsuccessful at integrating Buddypress although.
I received a php error message regarding in the header.php, line #75. When you say insert the code at the bottom or top, you do mean the absolute bottom, or are in saying at the bottom of the final div tag ?

@mycreativeway –

jqueryui has an autocomplete widget you can work with (or have a look at the older autocomplete plugin that’s used already in BuddyPress for usernames e.g. when you send a message). http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/

The correct way to set up it up in a WP environment is by getting the autocomplete plugin to make an AJAX request to admin-ajaxurl, which will call on to an action that you create to return suggested names.

It’s not straightforward, but a Google around will retrieve details on how to best setup an Ajax call in WP – alternatively the book “Professional WordPress Plugin Development” has a good chapter on it.

Did anyone figure out a way to do this without that plugin (which still doesn’t work it seems) ?

BP Xtra Signup is in the PASS list on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/1-5-plugin-compatibility/.

Works perfectly in single site setup.

BUT

On a multisite set-up with buddypress root blog on a subdirectory BP Xtra Signup’s settings page does not show up and so it can’t be used.

Thanks for your great work. Would like to have this confirmed/contradicted if possible.

@alanchrishughes I can’t reproduce your exact problem (I don’t see them at the bottom of the screen) though I was able to create at least some kind of error when posting new activity replies via AJAX. Try adding the following to your bp-custom.php in addition to the other stuff:
`function bbg_dont_remove_self_replies_on_ajax() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘bbg_remove_self_replies’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp_ajax_new_activity_comment’, ‘bbg_dont_remove_self_replies_on_ajax’, 1 );`

As I said in the ticket, I don’t think that @alanchrishughes is making a bad suggestion. Just that it’s probably not wise to implement in BP today, without making several further modifications. In the meantime, anyone is welcome to take the code suggested so far and turn it into a proof-of-concept plugin.

The code I provided works fine on my BP 1.5 installations. What version of BP are you using?

IMO, @alanchrishughes suggestion is only advisable if we also implement something that pushes an activity item to the top of the activity stream when it has been commented on. Otherwise new activity comments will get buried in the pile. This is not a trivial thing to do, however; I’m not sure it can be easily done with our current activity data schema. A plugin could be written for the purpose right now, but it would probably have to do some funny business with BP’s MySQL queries.

FYI, this filter has been added, and will be in 1.5.1. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5237

We need a Report/Block button and we need it fast… rapido vamos )

Yes… getting messages from miss.afara… Is Akismet used on updates? Or do registered users bypass any filtering?

Yip, getting tired of all the spam!

After searching for hours on end to find the solution to this I think I’ve found something. I too had installed the latest Buddypress with the latest WordPress and couldn’t get the forums to work. There was no tab linking to the forums page using the default buddypress theme and when typing in /forums/ it would just redirect back to the homepage.

Under Buddypress->Pages set ‘Discussion Forums’ to ‘none’ rather than the ‘Forum’ page.

This worked for me an hopefully it works for everyone else. Please note this works for the site wide forum option, I haven’t tried the group forums.

Also seeing as it was so easy I’m guessing it’s probably not the best way to fix things and I’ve more than likely done something wrong but until someone corrects me it’s a solution that works.

Hope it helps

The point of BuddyPress is not to create a fb like system. We do not need fb clones. BuddyPress provides a method to create unique ways of social interaction. Sure the out of the box example is a social network but this is only one way to use the software.
