BuddyPress.org

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.

regards

@alfredojp, ok here is how to customize it using css, change the ul class to something of your own, if you dont change it, whatever changes you make will affect the bp abum thumnail. i use this : it worked like a charm. make changes as u wish .picture-custom{width:140px;height:90px;}

index.php-style permalinks, usually found on some IIS installations but not all, do not work with BuddyPress out of the box. One option is to figure out a way to automatically prefix all incoming URLs with index.php that don’t have them already, perhaps in the equivalent of a .htaccess file. However, I’ve not had to sort this out before and I don’t have any experience with IIS.

Really all you have to do is move the folders and files and the wp database that backs it and then you update the settings in the wp-config.php file

Yeah, I’m about to move mine as well. Did it work alright for you? How’d you do it?
