BuddyPress.org

So how does this explain why it’s not working on this site then either?

I have to go to the last page of a post to find this box. If you click ‘New Reply’ above it does NOTHING on the Buddypress.org site itself … *le sigh*

@n_sane I had the same issue. A quick check of the wp database showed new users were being created with user level 2, which, in this case, means that they have not confirmed their registration. Also I realized i had not received any of my dummy account registration conf. emails.

I found a workaround for this by changing the user status to 0 in the wp_core_startup file, but that was an inadvisable way of fixing the issue since it totally deactivated the email registration system, which i really don’t didn’t want to bypass, and that file will get overwritten in any bp update.

The fix was to install the ‘Mail From’ plugin by andrew hamilton. this apparently allows the registration emails to go out, and then user_status and registration can be handled the way it was designed to. I’m hosted with bluehost and have a hunch their mail system isn’t playing nice with bp and this plugin seems to allow it to do that.

@akyleadam what you’re trying to change was the text string “Topic created successfully” into e.g. “when submit is liked if the post was successful – do this instead of that” and the links I gave could do that.

Take the first link, instead of creating a plugin, you can add this to your active theme’s functions.php – replacing the text string in that post to your own:
`class PJW_Translation_Mangler {
/**
* Filter the translation string before it is displayed.
*
* @param $translation The current translation
* @param $text The text being translated
* @param $context The context for the translation
* @param $domain The domain for the translation
* @return string The translated / filtered text.
*/
function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
if ( $text == ‘Topic created successfully’ ) {
return $translations->translate( ‘when submit is liked if the post was successful – do this instead of that’ );
}
return $translation;
}
}
add_filter(‘gettext’, array(‘PJW_Translation_Mangler’, ‘filter_gettext’), 10, 4);`

You see where I’ve substituted you own terms with that of the code given by Westi

ok I’ve made something really fast for you….

0.1 place this function into your functions file at the end of the closing php tag ” ?> ” !

`
<?php
function uloga_directory_search_form( $directory ) {
global $bp;
$form_id = ‘search-‘ . $directory . ‘-form’;
$input_id = $directory . ‘_sarch’;
$submit_id = $directory . ‘_search_submit’;

$search_value = __( ‘Search ‘ . $directory, ‘buddypress’ );
if ( !empty( $_REQUEST ) )
$search_value = $_REQUEST;

?>
<form action="" method="get" id="”>
<input type="text" name="s" id="” value=”” onfocus=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ”;}” />
<input type="submit" id="” name=”groups_search_submit” value=”” />

<?php
}
?>

`

0.2 now you have to change the bp_directory_members_search_form() function with uloga_directory_search_form( $directory ) ,replace $directory for example with “Members”
or “Groups” ,etc.

@cezar “the language file has only one instance of “Search anything” so you can’t have a different message in the search boxes. how did you do it?”

Anyone found a workaround for this?

BuddyPress has no support for bbPress 2.0 yet

By the way: If I click on “Edit” here in my own topic, there’s a “Page not found”…

On http://testbp.org/ bbpress 2.0 is used. I’d like to change to the plugin version, too.
Maybe a little stupid question, but I’m not sure about it: Do I have to drop the content of bbpress-folder in buddypress and install the new bbpress plugin version via wordpress plugin installation? (So that it’s in the plugins folder, not in buddypress)
In my case I don’t have to care about data, because I’m still testing and there are no real discussions. But for the others it maybe interesting: Will the forum data be catched by the new install?

@djpaul Thanks for your answer. I was not able to recreate it on the test drive – I’d have to be a group admin to see these admin links. But I saw there that you use bbpress 2.0 – do we have to change from standalone bbpress version to the bbpress wordpress plugin?
not sure about it – in this thread Bage said no: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-1-3-trunk-and-bbpress-2/

@darrenmeehan

Hi. Some URLs can be changed, some others need to be changed in the theme (or core), unfortunately.
In BP 1.5, root-level pages e.g. .com/members and .com/groups are controlled by standard WordPress Pages. You’ll be able to rename title and slug by editing the Page details.

URLs like e.g. .com/members/admin/**groups**/ are changed as detailed on https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ (“Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components”).

URLs like e.g. com/groups/group_name/**send-invites**/ have to be changed by editing the theme files, and filtering parts of the BuddyPress core output.

No problem. I agree that there’s probably some issue which is hard to trigger somewhere, hopefully we can find it before beta is finished

hi @djpaul ,

while I’ve been trying to make a recording for you, I understood that this is not connected to activity switching (at least I cannot recreate it anymore).
the only left point is that if text string does not have spaces and is too long for one line, it won’t be transfered to the next one, but will be cut, what is quite logical since it is understood as one word. Probably, my bad again, I should study this question deeper.

I am sorry, I am red and I am out

== Topic created successfully” – where is that code? ==

BP 1.2.9 at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.9/bp-forums.php#L78

BP 1.5 beta2 at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5-beta-2/bp-forums/bp-forums-screens.php#L48

The code I posted worked for me, and I would suggest trying it first, then seeing if you would prefer other options from the google page linked to.

Putting it in the header.php should work but might unnecessarily slow the site down a bit…..

I don’t know your theme so I wouldn’t know where to put it precisely…. I put it above the “ tag and below “ – it is important that it doesn’t go anywhere between a “

And mercime gave the correct link already on creating a network (multisite).

“, does Buddypress.org use multisites for its blogs and forums.”

YES. it uses multisite for individual blogs for each user. Full blogs like wordpress.com has.

“When i installed buddypress
and added the forums it says group forums???”

Ye,s the forums are attached to groups. that’s how it works here too.

You put the first bit in an appropriate area in the footer – If it works how you like it then you should probably include it via your theme’s functions.php file

The second bit works in a text widget. Set up a text widget where you would like it and paste.

It translates what it can…. If there are bits that you don’t want translated you can tag them….
