@drwebstein glad you posted anew

Closing this thread as it’s more than a year old – BP 1.1.3

Thank you @djpaul for explaining this was php4 v. 5 issue. As you knew, I was guessing global would fix

@doctordr activate that plugin I mentioned and add this to your bp-custom.php

`
//if php is older then change $a to &$a
function my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save( $type, $a ) {
global $bp;

//if there is an id – we don’t care… updating
if ( $a->id )
return $type;

//Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
//key on the blog types (even for comments posted to that blog)
if ( $a->type == ‘new_blog_post’ || $a->type == ‘new_blog_comment’ ) {

//item_id is the blog_id in this context
//could add more blog_ids here as well or even parlay into switch_to_blog to block categories, etc
if ( $a->item_id == 1) {
$a->type = null;
return null;
}
}

//otherwise continue if nothing happened
return $type;
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_type_before_save’, ‘my_block_activity_type_blog_id_before_save’, 9999, 2);
`
I think that works. If item_id == 1 is the blog_id you want to exclude.

@brennsuppa : thank you. for me it works really good.

Thanks @nahummadrid, my SWT blog is ‘already’ private and since my SWT blog is also my main site that little trick makes no difference to what appears on the activity stream (which of course is also on the main site).

I can only assume most BP sites are not also running SWT otherwise there would be more debate (and potential solutions) availabe to help.

Of course we’ll make sure that whatever the current version of WordPress happens to be, BuddyPress will work with it.

@doctordr You could make your SWT blog private or try this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/ I remember there is a way to block specific blog IDs from appearing in the activity stream but the plugin developer is no longer keeping up with this plugin and it appears his site is offline. there may be instances of the fix around here on the forums though.

Well this is frustrating. I implemented Donncha’s SWT plugin, which is working fine, apart from the duplicate blog posts in the activity stream. I have SWT using the main site as the tags site, so clearly the activity stream is showing both the original post (on a user site) and the ghost of that post being tagged in the main site.

I looked at Burt’s patch on trac, (which is 2 years old now) but when I tried the patch in bp-blog.php I found it was already applied in BP1.2.8 (albeit in a slightly different form).

At the moment all I want to do is stop the duplicates being displayed in the activity stream (i.e. hide the tag blog occurance). I’ve tried checking if ‘blog_id’ is equal to ‘tag_blog_id’ and then applying this fix to /activity/entry.php, but perhaps my syntax is wrong.

Has anyone got a working hack they’d like to share?

@apeatling I believe you said it was working on your local install..?

I think people want to know if BuddyPress 1.3 will work with WordPress 3.2, or will there ever be a time when all three versions of software are up to date, completed and compatible with each other, since they rely on each other to run?

People may be concerned about “security updates” and other issues that would make their buddy press site vulnerable to attacks.

Also, will future releases of buddypress have more of the newer social networking features built into it? (Share buttons, sort by popularity, events, pages, recommended users, etc.)

I am getting the same message:

Cannot modify header information

in the send to drop down when trying to compose a message in the front end.

I have not made any changes to the code at any time and don’t even know what file @Virtuali is talking about. This problem happened after I upgraded to the latest version of buddypress. Please help.

@bgrun80 Sure. For two WP sites with same userbase

Cheers.

P.S. Please remember to always back up your database and server files before trying the merge.

@aces great assist

Create a Page Template and add the code below
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php#L87 to line 97
Then publish and style to taste.

@radovic you can see the template tag added now.

@vcantrell, good of you to share your solution. Please remember to surround your code with backticks.

== I have Artisteer and started working on a theme and since I just installed buddypress am now wondering “Will it even work with it?” ==

It could work with BP Template Pack, BUT
1. personally, I’d recommend against using Artisteer to generate your theme. Better to download theme closest to design you want from https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/ then adjust accordingly.
2. code generated could most possibly make it harder for your to integrate BuddyPress template files
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/
3. don’t know whether any javascript generated from creating that theme with Artisteer would have conflict with BuddyPress or BP plugins.
4. etc.

== Can anyone explain to me how to have the front page of my site not as a blog or buddypress? Then to have a blog of different Categories on different tabs? Then a place to click to go into where buddypress would be? Does that make sense? ==

Yes, I know what you mean. That is basically a WordPress template question. Create a Page Template, put in code for that template, publish the page with custom Page Template and set it as front page of your site.

For more thorough assistance on this area, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates

The bar you see at the top of the screen at e.g. http://testbp.org/ and this site is the BuddyPress Admin Bar. Did you disable it from logged out users in dashboard > BuddyPress menu ?

@Brooker , any news mate? would be interested in getting a plugin done for this

== so I think its unlikely I can get into contact with him ==

@JamieWade I would recommend you leave a message for @sbrajesh at at his site because he’s the one who can address necessary updates to the theme..

@r-a-y, I would love to use this, but I get: `Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Core_User’ not found in`

@DJPaul but that was to fix the incorrect nesting of elements, the paragraph tags still exist for the bp_the_profile_field_value()

would not something like xprofile_get_field…() be better?
