foxly ..keep up the good work, and i don’t whant even comment BP Gallery
i will use BP album+. Why? its not bad,will be upgraded ,it is free like WordPress and Buddypress
That was the idea to be free , doesn’t it?

Yes but need custom code. Not sure if there is a plugin. It may be worth adding this as an enhancement request to https://trac.buddypress.org/.

This is all possible but you will need to know how to create WordPress themes/templates. If you can’t, you’ll need to hire someone.

Likewise, because of the scope and complexity of this question, you’re unlikely to get any meaningful replies. Again, you’ll need to consider hiring someone, or at least installing BuddyPress and attempting to achieve these things, one step at a time.

Please don’t duplicate posts please.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-groupblog/, adds a blog functionality for your groups. You would create a post “About **group** insideof it.

@modemlooper – thanks!

Sounds like you’re using an older version of WordPress.

BP 1.2.7 requires at least WP 3.0.

Yeah, I was in midst of correcting that hopefully before you saw it. Haste made waste.

function my_adminbar_name () {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '" id="admin-bar-logo">Welcome Connect</a>';
}
remove_action('bp_adminbar_logo','bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action('bp_adminbar_logo','my_adminbar_name');

EDIT – Works when you put this in your active theme’s functions.php file (instead of the bp-custom.php file in plugins directory as mentioned above. Thanks to @DJPaul in this post).

Diaspora has one failing goal and that is to compete with Facebook.

Bp-Privacy plugin was just released and Bp Album + works great.

In my opinion Diaspora is a flash in the pan. BP is not going away.

I modified bp-groups.php as mentioned in other posts. Two steps:
1) Comment out or delete the following line (it was line 201 for me):
`bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Home’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘home’, ‘parent_url’ => $group_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_home’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘home’ ) ); `

2) Add the following function and call in the bp-groups file (I just stuck it at the very end):
`function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;

$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );

$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );

if (bp_is_group_home()) bp_core_redirect( apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $bp->bp_options_nav) );

}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );`

Seems like this should be a simple toggle in the admin for a future release. I fail to see the functionality for an activity stream for a forum where people are posting activity. . .it was confusing for my users. .

@coaster101

In your WordPress backend, go to “Settings” > “General” and modify the “Site Title”. Whatever you enter there will be displayed in the adminbar.

Hello qprints, if I understand, you could do something like:

– Add a profile field called “Proffession” in the profile settings of buddypress.
– And in your theme, depending on the value each user has on the “Proffession” field, enqueue a css that overwrites the default css and does what it needs. Example:

`
// Get Profile Field value for the $user_id specified and the field name specified
if ( xprofile_get_field_data( “Proffession” , $user_id) == “Engineer” ); {
// Enqueue the css
wp_enqueue_style (‘engineer-style’,’css/engineer.css’);
}
`

Hope it helps…

There is a trac ticket for this and we are aware. I put a suggested fix into BuddyPress trunk but it didn’t seem to work.
