BuddyPress.org

Sub-profiles?

Eh, that would be pretty difficult to do.

However, you can do that for groups: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-group-hierarchy/

@gregfielding , yes, it helps.
The parallel loading has to be done with cookie free domain– the http://domain.com should not install any dynamic stuff so that it won’t pass cookie to all subdomain. If wp installed on top level domain, the benefits of parallel loading get offset by checking cookie time.
@tim, combining js is risky, but combining css is easy–just copy them into your own style sheet. The deregister the original. Here’s an example of deregisting and registing:
`function my_jscss_register() {
wp_deregister_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’ ); // deregister bp’s global. js
if( !is_admin()){
wp_deregister_script( ‘jquery’ ); // deregister jquery
wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’, ‘http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js’ );
// and other js you want to deregister/register
}
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘http://static1.domain.com/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ),”,true );
wp_deregister_style(‘login-with-ajax’);
// and other css you like to deregister
wp_enqueue_style(‘my-default-style”,http://static2.domain.com/’);//the combined css
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘my_jscss_register’ );`

Yes it could be confusing and personally, I want replies posted in original blog and forum posts.

Network Admin dashboard – BuddyPress > General Settings:
choose option “Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?”

Clearly, this is THE one big issue that everyone faces. I agree, thatthere needs to be an official HOW TO for page load speed and performance.

Granted everyone has different setups, but things like manually combining js and css and calling from a subdomain is something everyone should be able to do, if we are shown how.

Hosting: am on the 32gb plan with stormondemand.

It says in instruction:
… open index.php in the buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members folder, locate this line (line 14) …

If you’re currently using bp-default theme, then you need to
– create a child theme of bp-default theme https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
– copy the index.php at buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members/index.php
– paste that index.php into yourchildthemefolder/members/ folder
– open up the index.php in members folder and follow installation instructions https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-search/
– upload child theme folder to server and activate

What kind of hosting is everybody using here? I’m just about to launch and expect around 30 concurrent users. I’ve gone for a semi dedicated option but am interested in what others use and where they see slowdown.

anyone is intense debate plugin compatible with buddypress ?

@sayhitoarvind This is not a BuddyPress issue. It’s more like the WordPress Anyfont plugin is messing up your multisite installation. Similar to a multisite/anyfont issue I saw in WP.org forums https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-anyfont-issue-after-enabling-multi-site-in-wordpress-304?replies=2

Do resolve the Anyfont plugin issue with the plugin developer and also any multisite installation issues at https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite before installing BuddyPress. You need to have a stable and sound WP installation before installing BuddyPress, otherwise it’s going to be a rocky road.

I only recently started using Buddypress. I’m not familiar with how things were in 3.0.
Is there a user setting that I need to change to have them appear under the members list?

https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

I want to keep my site’s theme consistent. I’m making a site for a Star Wars: The Old Republic guild. I’ve got 156 avatars. Ideally, I’d like users to be able to choose from these avatars in addition to uploading one of their own. But let’s start with something even easier. If they don’t have a custom avatar, instead of default to Mystery Man, I’d like to default to one randomly chosen from the 156. Could I just do something like this:

`$tmp = glob(‘avatars/*.gif’);
if (is_array($tmp))
{
$flist = array_merge($flist,$tmp);
}
$default_avatar = $flist[array_rand($flist)];
add_filter( ‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, $default_avatar );`

My fear in trying this out, is that every time it displayed any default avatar if would pick one at random. What I’d like is to do the randomization once in assigning an avatar to a user if they don’t have one.

I tried everything I could think of, I found the “reply(#)” area in the “blogactivity-loop” and copied it to the index page, but it always shows “0”, I don’t know enough PHP to know if you have to call a function first or what makes it enter the correct number.

So i have changed it to a link that says “Click to See Comments” not that great but its a personal site and it at least makes sense and isn’t as confusing.

@imjscn No, I haven’t tried that. Does it help?

I got the same problem, any luck @dharmen99 ?

– Create a child theme.

– Copy over the file index.php from activity folder of bp-default theme to childtheme/activity/index.php
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L10

– Add the slider to above or within the content div or wherever you want in that index.php file

What if I want to do more than just replace the one default avatar?

What if I want to provide a gallery of avatars users can choose from (by uploading a bunch of avatars to a folder)?

Ideally I’d like to allow users to select from the avatars I’ve uploaded, as well as allow them to upload one of their own.

@gregfielding thanks for the info … my main issue is for logged in users and the very busy activity stream …. is there anyway to not display all the activity ? maybe that will load the page faster ..i use the activity stream as my homepage …. and it is very painful to hit it when logged in its sometimes a couple seconds before you see anything…. i am in the process of getting hyper db running on 2 mysql servers but what is a bummer is that even when their are 10-20 people signed in at same time its still slow …. actually even when there are only a couple the darn activity stream still lags …innodb tables….maxcdn ….w3 total cache..opcode apc
…any tips to improve the main activity load time?

Nice one @pcwriter. I think my favorite theme, FunkyBuddy, will be cooler still with the header image rotator

== I think I got it, it is maybe a plugin that I am using: “BuddyPress Activity Stream as Blog Comments” ==

Glad you found the real source and sharing the info. I didn’t expect that and I guess neither did @chouf1 @gunju2221
