@justbishop
The “View” links lead to this:
members/activity/permalink.php
What plugin @grooveman? I need it also!
@cezar – I didn’t, for the precise reason you mentioned.
@valuser – it broke the search on those directories.
Changing it for certain other plugins that make use of search (Buddyvents, Global Forums) has been successful, and I did that by straightforward hacking those plugins.
Tried to implement this, but I’m wondering if the code was mangled a bit on the post that @nahummadrid linked to. It doesn’t seem to want to work for me.
Could @aljuk elaborate on the unforseen complications that arose from replacing the appropriate strings in bp-blogs/bp-blogs-templatetags.php etc. ?
I found a plugin that allows me to edit posts in the activity stream. Thanks for the help!
@mercime
Hey,
I’m sorry- you’ve confused me a good deal with that last post. Anyway you can explain in more “lamens terms”? 
Thanks,
Jono
@hal9000 to get alternating colors on any of your loops (activity, members, groups, blog listings, forums, whatever)… using this code (uses CSS3)
li { background: green; }
li:nth-child(odd) { background: red; }
more specifically:
in the default.css stylesheet of the buddypress default theme… you should find on line 396:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea;
}
replace that with this:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: none;
background: green;
}
ul.item-list li:nth-child(odd) {
background: red;
}
and wolla!! ofcourse… please change the red and green to the colors of your theme… also, if you need it specifically for members, or groups, etc… then in the source code of each page , for eg, in groups, it is under a particular id: groups-list… put the styles under that id and so on.. hope that makes sense to you.
I installed buddypress on an existing wordpress installation. I have set up a few groups that members can post in, however when I am logged in as admin I only see an option to view, or delete the post. I just want to edit it so it conforms to my blog policy..But I cannot see anywhere to do that.
== how do you edit a post created by a member in buddypress groups ==
Could you be more specific? Like are you using a group blog plugin (u mentioned groups above) or are you referring to just a regular post in main site or another blog in your install?
Installed unified search as per above link and transferred search to sidebar as per @mercime at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/search-login-bar/ . Truly Excellent tips. Just one extra step required. In Groups,Blogs,and Members Directory there remains a search bar in addition to the unified search now in sidebar. How to remove this ?
How do you mean seriously? they are not obliged to do anything really , they already provide hosting for the site and trac/svn they designate one of their team to work – I think exclusively – on .org sites, BuddyPress, and bbPress. They are not strictly obliged to do any of this remember 
Well that raises the bigger question. When is Automattic going to take Buddypress seriously?

They say this will help, but read the reviews.. i think there are some people having problems out there. But i have wp 3.1.3 and bp 1.2.8… and i cannot see the backend admin link for this! good luck though.. and let me know if this works out for you…
1) Could you put the option to create New Categories at the Front End, please?
2) I found that Categories could be selected by Front End users when creating events, but did not stay selected on save.
3) The calendar is very useful but currently shows ALL the events. Can it be adjusted just to show Events I’m Attending or Group Events?
thanks and well done on a great plugin.

I am using site5. So far so good. I have a buddypress multisite on their shared hosting service and working just fine. Just installed today, so I have not tested everything yet.
I had a 500 internal server error, but turned out to be my .htaccess file and site5 found the error when I missed it.
Thanks, stwc. I’m actually on a dedicated server that I can fully control. Is there a key resource(s) I should look at that can be increased to better accommodate?
@nlvp this is as far as I got…the goal number would have to be created manually instead of user being able to just enter it into a preset custom field. They’d have to make a custom field called Goal and enter the number.
`
<?php
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_author’ => $bp->displayed_user->id,
‘post_status’ => ‘draft, pending’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 ) );
query_posts($args);
?>
-
/*This will show the current word count of the listed post */
post_content));?>
/*This next piece is what I haven’t accomplished fully, it is supposed to show a custom field designated “goal” */
ID, “goal”, $single = true); ?>
`
place this in your member header. should work. maybe someone else can refine it for you and add that visual graphic progress bar. Also this is if your members are authors on the main site and that’s where the posts are.
I’d be interested if hearing if someone has figured out a way to use the Register Plus Redux plugin with BuddyPress…

Not clear whether you answered DJPaul – Did you look inside your wp-content/uploads/ folder to see if the images are being saved?
Deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme, clear cache. Check if avatars show up in front end. If not, upload avatar and see if it was properly uploaded in server –> wp-content/uploads/
