BuddyPress.org

Just as a sanity check have you got the setting turned on to allow groups?

Under components have you turned enabled Groups: Let users create, join and participate in groups.

Are you signed in as admin or signed in as a user and does it make a difference to seeing group creation?

If you have a little more information would be great such as what version of BuddyPress / WordPress you are using and also the theme you are using? Does the problem happen with all plugins turned off (I know it can be a pain but it’s good to sanity check them)? Also maybe you can provide a link to your site?

In IIS Manager, go to the virtual directory and click right / properties, there you can go to the documents tabs and set up the “enable default content page” to index.php

IMHO Apache runs circles around IIS, on our win2k8 server we’re running apache and php instead.

This article might also help you translate .htaccess to an IIS webconfig, too (if needed) :http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/translate-htaccess-content-to-iis-webconfig/

As an M$ engineer IIS is not something I would rather rely on for production sites unless you have M$’s budget to just throw more servers at the load and be able to deal with a few coming off the rails while you sort things out (yes even in IIS7). That’s why I’m a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) admin when it comes to things I own and care about.

If you’re not planning to be working with ASP or need active directory integration with desktop PCs, and that sort of thing there’s no need for it. I say let WordPress run on it’s native environment.

Does that code replace the previous default or is that in addition to the code?

Sounds like the search feature is designed to query things one way, maybe the search needs to be modified too?. Does this issue match anything reported in the bug database for Buddypress?

I’m stabbing in the dark here.

If you want to change the actual names of the links, I did this by editing the language .pot file

But I’m not sure if that is the recommended method. I wanted to change My Blogs to My Sites:

For 1.2.9, translate the po file from buddypress/bp-languages directory.
Save the translation as buddypress-en_US.mo [if your local is en_US) else buddypress-your_Locals.mo in the bp-languages directory and you will be done.

Poedit is a great tool for translation.

@RPD If you mean this theme, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/animass, then we’ll use the WP page.php file as guide in the transformation.

Open up the activity/index.php file transferred to your anIMass folder in server. At the top, replace:

@alfredojp, below link should point you into right direction

Try using BuddyPress, I know groups can create events with the Jet Event system.

@davidtcarson Loving the theme updates! The theme is lookin fricken awesome.

I just noticed with the drop downs, the width of them aren’t automatically expanding to accommodate longer text (http://i51.tinypic.com/nwbthl.png)

Looks like a souped up template file. What theme are you using? You can post code of your WP theme’s page.php at pastebin.com. Click submit and post generated URL here.

bp-default theme has default custom header support. Add this to your child theme’s functions.php file:

`// Disable bp-default theme’s custom header support
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`

There is this plugin, however its out dated. I’m going to create something similar in the future. No date set but it’s on my list of plugins to create

please see the /wp-content/plugin/buddypress/bp-load.php

That’s incredible mercime – thanks for letting me know. Sry I hadn’t seen this til now.

I found this confusing thread searching for a way to add the topic starter on my forums index page:
Ex: http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/

What do I need to have in my bp-custom.php file?

I have this:
function ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name( $name ) {
global $forum_template;

return str_replace($forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_displayname, $forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_login, $name);
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’, ‘ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’ );

function bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username() {
global $topic_template;

if ( !$link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename, $topic_template->post->poster_login ) )
return __( ‘Deleted User’, ‘buddypress’ );

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username’, ‘post->poster_login . ‘”>’ . $topic_template->post->poster_login . ‘‘ );
}

And then this in my forums-loop.php template I have:

But all I get is “Deleted User”

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

@alfredojp, do you mean user nav and subnav ubder the avatar, if yes what changes do you want.
