Sorry to trouble everyone again with this… but if anyone could spare a minute to point out what I’m doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated. Free Herbs for everyone!

This is from the page.php from my template.
`

You could create your own home page by a) creating `home.php` (a special WP template recognized by BP) or by b) creating custom `Page Template` set as front page
which contain:
1. widgetized areas – see this bp-default child theme for example https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme
and/or
2. special BP and WP loops and/or template tagsto call in data

Just re-looking at this thread 5 months later… Having the ability to cache avatars would be a huge load savings for all of us using CDNs… Any more progress or thoughts on this?

@jillian, found the little snippet in the plugin from bbpress and attempted to implement it for you, experimenting myself: @r-a-y, help me on any corrections:

`// update meta
$value = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic);
add_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic, $value+1);`

Than the function added:

`function bp_the_topic_view_count($topic_id = false, $echo = true) {
global $action_variables;
global $bp;
global $forum_template;

if($topic_id == false)
$views = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$forum_template->topic->topic_id);
else
$views = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic_id);

if(!$views)
return false;

if($echo)
{
if($views == 1)
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” view” );
else
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” views” );
}else
{
if($views == 1)
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” view” );
else
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” views” );

}
`

Not tested.

You can’t if you’re not familiar with code, as it takes some time getting used to how the plugin developer wrote the code to begin with and how to make it fit within BuddyPress.

You should be able to modify the code to make it fit within a member’s profile… will just take time and work!

You might also be interested in a new plugin Boone Gorges is building called “BuddyPress Docs”:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs

FYI, it’s in development and shouldn’t be used on a production site.

You need to port over a bbPress plugin and make it compatible with BuddyPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-views/

There’s already a ticket for this:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2164

Look through http://trac.buddypress.org and submit an enhancement request if there is not already a ticket for this.

@Dfa327 You can always set up advance options to have the video chat run on like a cdn as well.

Heres the group link https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wordpress-network-3-1/
Im not rolling back because I want this fix so Im putting my site on the line for the rest of bp.

Good suggestions @modemlooper and @boonegorges .
I have WPMU (thankfully backed stuff up) went to 3.1 but noticed a few hiccups and rolled back to the previous version. I’m going to wait until a few things are resolved before I use it on my live sites.

@Everyone with 3.1 network we should make a group to discuss this in and to organize the problems because theres alot and if bp 1.3 is going to be ready or bp 1.2.9 is going to be ready then lets fix this. Im all for better development and my goal for this year is to at least make it in the development credits for bp or wp. So I will go make a group so we can tackle this beast to the ground and pin it. So Lets do this 1………3!

@kirtank Most bp plugin are not ready for 3.1 NETWORK so if your not on network mode your smooth sailing with 3.1 but if your on network your screwed if you hit upgrade.

Hello , m new to buddypress, just wanted to ask, is it really necessary to upgrade to WP 3.1 or should i continue with WP 3.0.5. i dont want my plugins to crash .

Unbelievably enough BuddyPress 1.2.8 still carries these bugs. Hey guys! Let´s fix it in the core BP available for download so that we can avoid fixing it each time we get an upgrade.
Thanks

I am also curious to learn how you finally managed, cause your site seems to be working great now.

Nice! I love the arras theme also. Looks like your using the latest version of arras, I am using an old version that wasn’t really adapted for buddypress. But it’s really interesting how they sort of adapted to theming it for buddypress. Me, using the old version of arras that didn’t have anything meant or to do with buddypress, I still integrated it.

Your Arras theming looks good!

Thanks @r-a-y

The combination of the 2 setting did the trick.

/* Remove the BuddyPress Admin bar */
define(‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true);

/* Remove the WordPress Admin bar */
add_filter( ‘show_admin_bar’, ‘__return_false’ );

Thanks again.

thanks @mercime, changing all ‘admin_menu’ references in plugins to ‘network_admin_menu’ did the trick.
Now my multisite enabled plugins have their links under the network manager buddypress menu.
Great article from @boonebgorges
Thanks!

Hey, I understand some of the criticism in this thread, but let’s try to keep things on-topic (BuddyPress-related) and constructive. WordPress feedback should go on wordpress.org.

I’m interested in working with anyone in this thread to help make BuddyPress work better with WordPress 3.1, and as I don’t have much multisite experience with 3.1 so far, I would find it very useful for a brief comment as to how to reproduce an issue which you feel needs addressing.
