BuddyPress.org

If you do it in widgets, you could use something like widget_logic() and then check for something like `if(bp_is_group_home())`

These type of template tags can be found in /bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php so you can narrow it down as you need

@rsib2000 Could this jquery conflict only show up in certain OS’s? I’m having no problems cropping or updating my avatar (Win 7, Chrome 11.0.696.68/IE8/FF4.0.1), but folks with OSX (they’ve tried it with FF, Chrome, and Safari) can’t. From what I know of js, this shouldn’t be an issue. Any insights?

@DJPaul just like you to confirm that remove_action doesn’t work ?

@jonobradley

Looks like you’ll have to contact the theme developer then to find out where the nav is, sorry can’t help more

@jonobradley

Open your theme’s header.php (or equivalent) and find the code for your main navigation. In your theme, you’ll find it in div id="nav_row". There’s probably a call to wp_nav_menus there. Add the following before the closing ul tag (should work 😉 )

<li></li>

See the codex for more: https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

Hope this helps 🙂

If you are on a $5/month hosting account, pretty much anything you do will eventually be slow.

I believe you’ll have to use a customized language file.

Read this article:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Your language files are currently suffixed with “WyoDLC”. Try using “en_US” or whatever your WordPress locale is.

If you want to keep your language files with the suffix “WyoDLC”, use this snippet in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:
`define( ‘BPLANG’, ‘WyoDLC’ );
if ( file_exists( WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ ) ) {
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_LANG_DIR . ‘/buddypress-‘ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );
}
`

Also make sure to rename your languages directory back to /wp-content/languages/.

If this still doesn’t work, try regenerating your .po and .mo or post about the “weirdness” you’re experiencing.

its biofuelsdigest.com/digestgroup/members – so there’s some crossover but its not the same.

Even the bbPress plugin comes with a small set of fallback template files (as a child theme of twentyten) to display forums.

I didn’t say we’d get rid of bp-default! bp-default can continue to be a parent theme. Even if we backport the simplest changes from bbPress for now like get_template_part() to BP (instead of locate_template() like Bowe mentions above), this will make things very easy to build a plugin to serve BP template files without copying them over to the WP theme (as BP Template Pack does now).

In my unreleased plugin, I created a function similar to bbp_get_template_part(), copied bp-default BP-only template files to my plugin directory and swapped out locate_template() for this new function. The plugin served BP template files. Then, combined with this, all you’d need to is create a header-buddypress.php (or footer-buddypress.php, etc.) in your WP theme to make it gel with BuddyPress.

== Everything in the forums, activity and groups folders is working fine. Anything functionality that points to the members folder redirects to the Members Directory. ==

Your http://sitename.com/BPfolder/ doesn’t happen to be actually http://sitename.com/members/ ? There’s a BP bug when you install BP in a directory with same name as one of its components, in this case members.

Hi Mercime,

WP was working fine (and is), running 3.1.2.
BP, running Version 1.2.8.

It appears that the problem is restricted to the members folder. Everything in the forums, activity and groups folders is working fine. Anything functionality that points to the members folder redirects to the Members Directory.

BP/WP versions? Was your WP working well before you installed BP?

Check your htaccess and wp-config.php files with info here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-on-a-sub-directory-installed-wp-291/#post-36047

@cnorris23 Thank you. Cool. Saw it in dashboard running BP trunk – WP 3.2 beta 1

Hi Mercime,

WP/BP are installed in normal subdirectories.

Thanks, Jim

@jml1618 just to clarify, is your WP installed like this https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory (because this set up won’t work with BP) or is your WP/BP installed in a normal subdirectory?

I am having the same problem. I am using BP-default and deactivated all plug-ins except BuddyPress, and am getting re-directed back to the Members page when clicking on any My Account features such as accessing profile, friend requests – anything that has the format `http://sitename.com/BPfolder/members/administrator/anythingels` – also happens when I log in on a test account as an ordinary Member, not just as Administrator.

– Note that the plugin will not be updated for future versions of BuddyPress (like 1.3+) by current plugin author. Hopefully, someone will take over the plugin.

Or, check this out http://bp-tricks.com/coding/manage-group-creation-by-creating-a-group-request-form/

@carlla good to know you’ve got it working now.
Cheers.

Hi @All,

I’m writing for themekraft.com, we are a young startup, making our lives with WordPress and 80% BuddyPress related development.
Buddypress has changed our lives and we want to count us in.
We have read the thread from bowe at bp-tricks.com and this thread here, and we want to help, too. It’s like bowe and this thread is bringing our thoughts to the public, and we feel it’s time to come together.

We are 3 people, and we can give 2 hour every week to help out. That makes 6 hours – let’s say one day a week.
We are two developers and 1 theme designer.
There are many small and bigger problems we found in our daily work, we like to have changed. And we would immediately start helping.

For example: bp-default:

We have developed a theme for BuddyPress. And in the theme you can change sidebars, also for BuddyPress components .
But it’s very difficult for us to provide a left sidebar only, because buddypress comes with a right sidebar in the default theme and the sidebar is included in the pages instead of in the header and the footer.

Every component that extends BuddyPress, comes up with the right sidebar in the template files.

That means for us (and all theme devs with theme options like sidebars), we have to rework every template file from every plugin to support having just a left sidebar.

This is just one theme example, we would like to share all experiences to improve theme development with BuddyPress.
We know, there must be at least some templates files for buddypress to work. But they should integrate in different way as now.
We have read this thread, and there are quite a lot of people willing to get their hands on the bp-default.

Wouldn’t it be a great thing to have the bp-default in github, so we can create a team to work together the git way?
There is also an issue tracker in github, and I feel it’s much easier as the trac…

This way integration in a new bp-default team would be very easy.

Patches and all the BuddyPress stuff.

We have done some funny things with custom post types and groups, because it is so difficult to filter groups in a certain way.
Also if we use the custom post type api, we get a lot of benefits like revision backups and so on.

To be honest, we believe that BuddyPress could handle groups more powerful, and we would like to work on this, too.

I have seen the conversation from the BuddyPress ninjas in the early days of 1.2 where JJJ started to think of groups in a API way.
Everything is a group. Like a group of people and so on. I really liked the idea and we would like to see groups become something more powerful.

I will stop writing now, hoping we will just start working, as I guess everything has been discussed before.

Thanks for all, we love BuddyPress and see it us a powerful tool to build great websites, often without the need of a direct social network, using it to realize our customers needs.

We look forward to start helping. We always had the feeling before, that it’s not so easy to become a working part.
So just let us know where we can start, or what you need to be done

Thanks,
svenl77, konradS and mahype
