BuddyPress.org

@dwenaus is building a comprehensive ratings plugin for everything BP related. So far has released the forum ratings part (called “BP rate forum posts”, find it here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/). And is looking for a patron.

Hi,

I installed Groupblog on WordPress 3.2.1 & BuddyPress 1.5 using the BuddyPress default theme. It seems to be working except that I don’t see an easy way to post to it. I activated it network-wide then enabled the blog through the group admin. It created a Blog tab in the group page which displays posts. If I use the Dashboard -> New Post link in the BuddyPress admin bar, it takes me to the site blog rather than the group blog. There are two links on the Groupblog page; one is to the Sample page that WordPress comes with and the other to Events which is a page for the EventsManager plugin.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Tomorrow I’ll post a plugin or code to allow admins to add user links to the BuddyPress nav menu.

I am wondering about this same topic. I saw this related post: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/forgot-password-link/ , but the answer is to go to the take you to the “lost password” section of wp-login.php. If my users are only logging into BP, they won’t have WP logins, correct? Can someone help?

First, if you want to customize the BuddyPress Default theme, please build a child theme so your customizations won’t be wiped out when you upgrade BuddyPress:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Secondly, once you’ve created your child theme, copy over /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/home.php to your theme’s folder.

Make sure you preserve the folder structure:
/wp-content/themes/MYCHILDTHEME/members/single/home.php

Then, you can add a regular posts loop from WordPress in your /members/single/home.php:

BuddyPress is a volunteer project; other than the lead developer who has a portion of his time dedicated to developing and managing BuddyPress, no one else is paid to code it. The project heavily relies on the contributions of others.

That being said, it is not too hard to code a blog avatars plugin for BuddyPress, someone just needs to find the time out of their schedule to code it. Be it for a client or for free.

Just the delete the paragraph line:

`

<?php printf( __( 'Proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘http://wordpress.org&#8217;, ‘http://buddypress.org&#039; ) ?>

`

Yes you can. See “Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components:” at https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
Better yet, use a language file – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Bump. @kateM82 code worked fine for me until I updated BuddyPress 1.5. Now when I click the favorite button it only says “the page was not found.” Any help for fixing this?

They both should be created with plugins. A BuddyPress component is a sitewide content type that would have a directory structure, like members or groups.

The skeleton plugin is being updated, current version on github.

Delete _inc folder from child theme and make sure BuddyPress template pack plugin is not installed

Safari browser can use the gps API on an iPhone, I’m not sure about Android. You could create code that attaches user meta to a logged in user and save the gps coordinates then filter members list by distance.

There are a couple location plugins but those are address based in which you enter address into profile fields. They do not update your current info.

So yes it’s doable but no plugin currently exists.

You filter the loop just like WordPress.

There is an option in the admin under BuddyPress menus to only allow admin to create groups.

is this working in 1.5?
my users are creating blogs like http://blogname.subdomain.domain.com

i’m using WordPress 3.2.1 with BuddyPress 1.5

define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 14 );
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true );
define( ‘BP_SILENCE_THEME_NOTICE’, true );
define ( ‘BP_REGISTER_SLUG’, ‘socailmembership’ );

am i doing something wrong?

This is happening for me too. My cpu and load average is through the roof.

This problem occurred for me on a vanilla install without bp-template-pack. I believe it was because I failed to click on the Finish & Activate button. I’d read the message “The BuddyPress setup is complete, and your site is ready to go!” so I just chose something other than the Finish & Activate button.
If anyone else gets the problem, just go back to the wp-admin page and try again – this time selecting Finish & Activate.
