If you try the group hierarchy mod perhaps so.. but each forum would belong to the subgroup. So that might not help you.

There’s also this plugin for stand alone forums: http://buddydev.com/plugins/global-forums/

I know it’s not the answer you might have wanted but it’s something to work with. The way BuddyPress is designed the forum is the official discussion board for a specific group. I visualize them as interest groups so having more than one forum per group breaks their identity IMHO.

The way the main forums works, its like a post-scanner for all group forums so you would end up with something more confusing to the end user who’s seeing:

TOPIC | POSTER | GROUP

There is no section that prints the forum itself just the group. However you could try instead just using different groups so its like:

TOPIC | POSTER | Group-a
TOPIC | POSTER | Group-b
TOPIC | POSTER | Group-c

I recommend the Group Hierarchy mod then the parent group owner can still more or less control everything.

I’m just guessing here but it’s possible something to do with how permalinks are setup?

What is your permalink structure? I dont have this issue on my BuddyPress 1.2.9 site.

Which version are you using of BP and WP?

Compiling FB friends emails: http://thesocialmediaguide.com/social_media/how-to-download-your-facebook-friends-email-addresses

Haven’t tested it myself yet, but good luck.

Good mod modemlooper posted there and I use it too. I think it’s got some premium features for Yahoo integration too etc…

I’ve found one service that can compile all your friends emails from facebook and once you have that list you can do what you like with it.

You can always create an event page on FB, invite all your friends there and in the event page you post your website URL inviting them to your site I guess..

I’m pretty sure that is completely against Facebook terms of service. They’ve blocked Google from accessing your contacts as well as other services. They do not want you stealing your friends away from their advertisers.

This may help with getting users to invite https://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/

You can create a file, bp-custom.php, post in necessary code and upload to your wp-content/plugins directory

Sitgmartyr – This issue has been reported and fixed, but unfortunately there will not be a public, new release under the 1.2 series because attention has shifted to 1.5.

However, you can patch and fix this yourself:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4626

Or download the 1.2 dev branch and overwrite your current “buddypress” folder:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/1.2 (scroll to the bottom and click on the ZIP download)

Remove all your htaccess code that you’ve added as that isn’t related to this issue.

@foxly Both you and @fanquake are Editors on codex.buddypress.org. (It used to be that everyone on bp.org was, but the synching script broke at some point.) Thanks!

Overall progress for today…

Google Code seems to have all their servers working again and the Fixing plugins for BuddyPress 1.5 wiki is coming together nicely. Over the next few days we’re going to be adding some new failure cases and improving the quality of the existing articles.

@boonebgorges We’d be honored if you linked to us from your blog. Also if there’s anything we missed that you’d like covered, just let me know and we’ll add it to the wiki.

We’ve updated the BuddyPress 1.5 plugins compatibility page. We split it into three different spreadsheets (that all auto-update from the master spreadsheet) as per @karmatosed ‘s request. We created embeddable widgets for each of these so karmatosed can embed them in the BP codex. As per @djpaul ‘s request we removed all non-error related tester comments.

It would be helpful if you could give one of our team members write-access to the codex blog so we can assist karmatosed with getting the embedded plugin spreadsheets working properly.

I knew you knew @foxly

@boonebgorges

Yes.
I know.
I was tired (18 hours and counting) and pasted the wrong block of code.

We fixed that one and moved on to a bunch of other things

^F^

add_action( ‘bp_setup_globals’, ‘bp_cubepoint_setup_globals’ ); <— is commented out, you should be using that to set global

I’m a bit confused at what this discussion is trying to accomplish

When you set up globals, as in the function excerpted above, you should hook to bp_setup_globals.
When you set up navigation, as with functions like bp_core_new_nav_item(), you should hook to bp_setup_nav.

I sent you a email. Change it to this. Now it’s not even showing up in the admin bar. Sorry for being a pain, just want to get this patched up.

`add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bp_cubepoint_setup_globals’, 2 );
add_action( ‘bp_setup_admin_bar’, ‘bp_cubepoint_setup_globals’, 2 );`

@xberserker

Cool! Now we have a block of code we can use for another example. You need to hook to the ‘bp_setup_admin_bar’ action to get it to reappear.

Fire man an email (CarlRoett [at] gmail [dot] com) and I’ll walk you through it.

== If I don’t have bp-config.php I just create it inthe buddypress plugin directory, right? ==
The internal Forum installation process will automatically generate the “bb-config.php” at root of your install when you go through the process.

@foxly Thank You. I don’t mind at all. I tried changing what you mentioned and this is what I have now.

Now it’s not even showing up in the buddypress admin bar on the front end but does when looking at the admin area. But it’s still acting the same as before.

`function bp_cubepoint_setup_globals() {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$bp->cubepoint->id = ‘cubepoint’;
//$bp->cubepoint->table_name = $wpdb->base_prefix . ‘cubepoints’;
$bp->cubepoint->table_name = $wpdb->prefix . ‘cubepoints’;

// custom SLUG
//$bp->cubepoint->slug = ‘cubepoints’;
$bg_cp_custom_slug = get_option( ‘bp_slug_cp_bp’ );
$bp->cubepoint->slug = $bg_cp_custom_slug;

$bp->cubepoint->points_slug = ‘points’;
$bp->cubepoint->table_slug = ‘table’;
$bp->cubepoint->earnpoints_slug = ‘earnpoints’;
$bp->cubepoint->awards_slug = ‘awards’;
$bp->cubepoint->bp_cubepoint_per_page = get_option(‘bp_points_logs_per_page_cp_bp’);

// Notifications
//$bp->cubepoint->format_notification_function = ‘bp_cp_awards_format_notifications’;

/* Register this in the active components array */
$bp->active_components[$bp->cubepoint->slug] = $bp->cubepoint->id;

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->cubepoint->slug && $bp->cubepoint->table_slug != $bp->current_action ){
bp_cubepoint_query_points();
}
if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->cubepoint->slug && $bp->cubepoint->table_slug == $bp->current_action ){
bp_cubepoint_query_points(‘uid=’);
}
}
