BuddyPress.org

Yes, I have “Don’t cache pages for logged in users” selected.

Thanks for this information! I was looking for such manual!
As I understand it is not possible to show quicktags in activity comment form since it doesn’t have an exact ‘id’. Am I right? Or maybe there is some way to make quicktags appear everywhere?

there is a plugin from @brajesh:
http://buddydev.com/plugins/blog-categories-for-groups/
where he would like to add a simple post from Groups admin front end (creating- editing), he has the plugin in development take a look here:
https://github.com/sbrajesh/blog-categories-for-groups/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open

now i found what i’m looking for, hahaha im having the same problem, adding new field in the group creation form. thanks @4ella , so what’s the progress here?, i saw @slaffik plug ins, and it’s really cool and useful in someway but we also need to put those fields in the creation form not just in the edit group form…

@buddyrhev pls. watch this thread , this thread is new and currently searching for the same answer as you search: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-add-fields-to-group-creation-with-group-extension-api-please-read/

@untilthen5 my PHP knowledge is adequate to zero , so I didn’t find any solution , I was studying @slaffik ‘s plugin to find something what should help us to display those fields , with my PHP knowledge I gave it up immediately.
Slaffik’s Group Extras plugin is great , even greater now with adding unlimited group pages, it miss only function to memorize the sets of fields for all groups (you should create for every single group those sets of fields over and over again , @slaffik promised to finish it too).
boone’s & modemlooper’s code is very quick and for me perfect solution because I don’t need the sets of fields. I need only 1 set of 10-15 extra fields on first Group creation step page which will better describe every group . Fields thanks Boone and Modemlooper we managed to get to insert into database, so group admins should see them now , fill them out , but without displaying those fields for public is now at least for me unfortunately useless .
It looks like displaying those fields in groups doesn’t seem so simple as we were thinking (the way of displaying the fields in profiles as we know is very easy). @modemlooper said after he will finish his other works he has also intention to finish this small but very useful plugin – I suppose he meant with displaying all those fields in the template so I am going to wait when someone of them will come with fully working plugin.

This thread as been very very helpful for me in creating custom group fields especially with my inadequate php experience. @4ella have you found the proper way to display the extra group information that has been stored in the groupmeta database? Ive been attempting retrieving that information to display in the group header but I had no luck. I tried looking up how to retrieve the data but I dont quite understand how bp uses commands like get_groups_description instead of using $fields and ‘field name’ or $row..

@Boone

totally sweet. figured there had to be an easy solution. I’m slowely getting excited about this transfer from vbulletin to bp/bbpress.

@anointed There is nothing in the BP UI to do this, but you *should* be able to do it by adding a piece of groupmeta:
`groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, ‘forum_id’, $forum_id );`

Should be as simple as that…

As I said, BuddyPress 1.5 takes the “search” URL for itself.

What @djpaul said.

Also, as for your question about migration: I would imagine that, as far as the data itself is concerned, no migration will be necessary. However, if after BP 1.6, you want to move from the one-big-forum model to the BP one-forum-per-group model, you may have to do a bit of adjustment.

Any update on this problem?

Some point after 1.5, BuddyPress won’t come with bbPress. If you’ll want to use a forum, we’ll invite you to download bbPress (2.0); maybe we’ll even add a link in to make it easy.

As far as I’m aware, currently bbPress 2.0 will posts updates to the activity stream. I don’t think any work has been done yet regarding creating a forum when a group is created (e.g. create forum when “create group” is clicked).

This could be the issue not sure but to run BuddyPress you need to have a capable theme.

Are you running BuddyPress? I know its a silly question but people have posted on here before about WP issues.

Are you referring to a post in the activity feed or to a WordPress post being displayed in BuddyPress?

Do you want to edit the content or the style of the post?

Yes, what wilfil said will change the link color to a darker blue, but if you want more control over how dark it will be you can replace the word “blue” in his code “a {color:blue !important;}” to a hexadecimal value.

After doing a quick google search I found http://www.2createawebsite.com/build/hex-colors.html. Scroll down to the color box and after you select the color just copy and paste the hex value from the bottom right of that box. You will need to include the “#” along with the six digits that follow it in your code.

Example:
a {color:#0C19A2 !important;}

To further explain the “!important” exclamation, it just allows you to override CSS properties already assigned to an element. In this case the color property is being overridden from the default.css blue (which has already been set by buddypress) to your newly assigned color for the “a” element.

Hope this helps!

yeah, I’m saying do not use the default themes that come with wordpress. Just to test. It shouldn’t matter but I think there have been problems with using default WP theme and children on MultiSite.

Is your 20 11 parent theme BuddyPress ready? This could also be a problem. If you are using BP Template pack and 20 11 and then trying to use a child on top of that.

You would need to edit the navigation code in header.php BUT in the next version of BuddyPress coming any day now it will use WP nav menus you can edit from the admin.

What post?
