@hnla – as always – you are the champion of css. I totally misunderstood the custom.css file and was adding the css into the dialog box on the Sealight control panel labeled custom css: “Quickly add some CSS to your theme by adding it to this block.” Without even looking, I just figured it was building that custom.css file. Plus, if I didn’t add it into that box then the styling wouldn’t work. Silly me.
Now, in terms of the activity-inner styling … I’ve now added it all to the custom.css and still can’t get activity-inner to work. Sigh. I’ve left that code in the custom.css and it doesn’t show in firebug either.

I was going to work on getting the styling of the bubble like I did here: http://www.thechembook.com/groups/advanced-placement-chemistry-learners/forum/topic/the-atom-fast-facts-a-summary-sheet/
You can easily change the default avatar in your dashboard under BuddyPress > General Settings. The reason it doesn’t use the WordPress avatar setting is because BuddyPress is designed to be it’s own site with it’s own settings. If you want to disable gravatar support completely you can set no_grav to true in your theme’s bp_core_fetch_avatar function calls. This will be made even easier when 1.3 is released.
I need to do the exact same thing. @Matilde did you ever find an easy solution?
Thank you everybody for the suggestions. I’m setting up a site for an artist community and I don’t want BuddyPress to assign (IMHO not very attractive) monster gravatars to the members at all. Perhaps a future version could be written to respect the WordPress setting for No Avatar.
This functionality is currently being developed by @wpmuguru, but I don’t know that there has been any timeline published as far as a plugin release or it being included in core.
I actually was able to fix it as well with your code. I tried it, but I think I’ll stick with just putting in the correct BP_ROOT_BLOG value for the site I’m running.
Now the only other issue that’s been cramping my style is the fact that the BuddyPress admin bar is overlapping on the wp-admin dashboard on all sites within my network.
@beraike22, do u have a working example we can see? also I’m having issues with that plugin, when I enabled it, it seems like I would have to indeed modify it to show some plugins when i’m signed in. The problem with that is for troubleshooting purpose I can’t not be logged in, thus I want to test this out when asked to register or join. can you give me a bit more detail on how to achieve multiple profile types upon registration?
I have 1.2.8 and having the same issue, i took a look into pb-friends.php and the code seems correct…
global $bp;
if ( isset( $_GET ) )
bp_core_delete_notifications_for_user_by_type( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->friends->id, ‘friendship_accepted’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_activity_screen_my_activity’, ‘friends_clear_friend_notifications’ );
@r-a-y @DJPaul?????
R-a-y – that doesn’t work for me unfortunately.
I am using the:
– latest version of WordPress 3.1.2
– Child theme of Suffusion
And the latest plugins for Suffusion BP Pack (1.02), BuddyPress (1.2.
, and s2Member (3.5.7).
Using the s2Member plugin settings, I have set my site to redirect users to a “Member Home” page upon logging in. This function used to work before I added BuddyPress + Suffusion BP Pack. However, since adding those plugins, I initially could not figure out why it no longer worked upon logging in. Currently, when a user logs in, the site just directs them to the main page (the default WordPress & site address). I disabled the other plugins and determined that it was BuddyPress handling the redirection.
So I made a bp-custom.php and added that code just to see if I can test the redirection function itself and it didn’t work. I even tweaked his code as well to try add_filter(“login_redirect”,”bpdev_redirect_to_profile”,100,3); Did I need to do anything else to activate the plugin or did it automatically run and link to BuddyPress?
Ultimately, it seems like I may have to implement a technique that onyx mentioned or something like http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/12/tweak-your-buddypress-login-to-redirect-to-the-page-user-was-viewing-while-login/
Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
@r-a-y is there a tutorial in how to get this done?
Thank you so much for your help 
Did you activate the plugin named “buddypress” ? 
Doh you spoiled the game. Hints were required, hot or cold etc
The cause has to do with the fact that ‘2.7’ and ‘2.8’ (some old WP version numbers) are part of ‘1.2.7’ and ‘1.2.8’. It is a silly strpos() issue. It will be fixed soon.
Thought this would be a fun game so compared two readme from plugins showing as ‘Not tested’ Against my own little effort of little worth that does not show the warning, ruled out nearly every possible cause as one or other of the plugins showing warnings didn’t match on say order of == Installation == sections or omission of sections e.g one missed == changelog ==
As for tested up to I tried to be helpful with BP version number so that probably rules that out. The only common aspect the two plugins have that mine doesn’t that I’m left with is the ‘Donate link’ line? Is that the cause?
the cause of the error is either the readme file Tested up to: line or the main plugin file Version: line. If you put any BP version info in there, this website balks and throws that error. It seems to only effect plugin authors that are being extra helpful putting BP version info in their plugins, so it should be removed.
Here’s where we encounter the error. First we go to the Members tab and select a member. On that member’s page, we click the “send private message” button. After filling in the email form and submitting, the page is returned with this error: “There was an error sending that message, please try again.” This only happens when attempting to send to a user with a country code extension in their email address. (We figured this out by looking at the user accounts that we couldn’t send messages to – the ones that triggered the error all had email addresses with country codes.)
@hnla basically I want the ability to replace the buddypress main nav with wordpress menus: via Appearance > Menus.
Being able to have a custom menu like:
Home
Community
-Activity
-Members
Groups
…
What would be the best way to implement this?
there seems to be alternative browsers for the iPhone that support uploading, but standard Safari does not in iOS 4.3.
There’s a `do_action` hook you can use:
`xprofile_updated_profile` (located in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php.)
You could potentially use the wp_mail() function to send an email to the admin with this hook.
Don’t know what a `do_action` is and how to make use of it?
If you’re familiar with a tiny bit of PHP, here’s some articles that will help:
http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/an-introduction-to-wordpress-action-hooks/
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Actions
Here’s something quick you can try:
`function my_update_profile_send( $id ) {
$text = bp_core_get_user_domain( $id );
wp_mail( ‘YOUR ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS’, ‘Profile Updated’, $text );
}
add_action( ‘xprofile_updated_profile’, ‘my_update_profile_send’ );`
Put the code snippet in your theme’s functions.php.
Here is one way:
—-
Register a widget on a template page of your theme. Set that page to the front.

Next, use the RSS widget (or another plugin) to show the blog post.

@djpaul and @boonebgorges, I hear you about the caching. that is one big bonus. I can make big ugly queries and know that they’ll be cached. If I ‘roll by own’ then I’ll have to build caching myself (but it’s not that hard).
I looked at the meta_query functions, and they seem quite sufficient for most queries, they only thing they are missing are the powerful mysql abilities such as GROUP BY, COUNT, DISTINCT, and mysql’s cryptic but powerful date range functions. Much of this can be done in php with more flexibility, but sometimes it’s nice to do a single query and get exactly what you want.
The most common need for this plugin, is to display the combined vote/rating/likes of a content object. I can pretty easily figure out how to do that with MySQL, but how to do it quickly with custom post types/taxonomies?
For example, i’m looking at a list of images, and I want to see the ratings of each image. I can’t really store it in my new rating custom post type, do I store it in some site option? seems kinda odd, or do I create a new custom post type – one for each object type – seems kinda odd, or do I use taxonomies. Or do I store it in the meta table of that individual object such as post_meta, group_meta. etc. this will not scale well because some objects have no meta table (such as images).
any insights into these things would be greatly appreciated.
wont be able to upload pictures from your iphone unless you create an app for it…..
