BuddyPress.org

@rogercoathup I do not use any plugin for user levels and permissions. I only gave examples of levels. I’d like an If with an elseif and else to levels. If you are an administrator, a text appears: “Administrator” or is Editor, a text appears: “Editor” and if is a subscriber, you may see “Member” or simply any message.

There are people that use the Suffusion theme with BuddyPress, so I know it should work, and everything is working and looks great — except for the register page. Which is arguably the most important part.

I don’t think any of the plugins are conflicting with it, because it does work if I just switch the theme without changing anything else.

alright, thanks @PaulGibbs

Hi Roger,

“including site wide forums” – does that mean that posts under bbPress are automatically added to the activity stream, even when bbPress was installed BEFORE BuddyPress? If I look at http://www.mysite.com/activity which is the page I’ve set up with BuddyPress pages, it’s only showing BuddyPress-side activities.

And no, I don’t think it’s a problem with the buddydev’s widget plugin, as it seems to be able to publish BuddyPress activities just fine.

Hey Paul,

I will do that, however I have found a couple of threads discussing the same issue so I guess I’ll add mine to those.
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-manual-activity-stream-integration/
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-do-i-set-up-bbpress-and-buddypress/

I’ve tried the suggestions there to no avail.

Ok, thanks @PaulGibbs.

(1) why can member’s with the role of “Editor” edit pages (a link appears for them on the bottom of the page) while members with the role of Subscriber, for example, cannot?

(2) why does the upper “static” menu bar across the page give different options based on role?

(3) are there different BuddyPress role settings that I should know about or be aware of?

The underlying purpose here is to determine what role to give our various members. Thanks for helping and guiding.

Can anyone help me out with this ????

Hi,

The error log I posted encompasses the errors that have been generated while I was micking around with reinstalling buddypress and bbpress.

I have both bbPress and Buddypress installed currently, and I also have the Activity Streams component enabled.

However, a ticket from way back three years ago explains what I think the problem is. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/241

If I go to my profile, and post an update on my profile, this gets saved in bp_activity. But anything new topic creation or reply on my bbPress forum, it DOES NOT get saved in that table. So it looks to me that stuff created in the BuddyPress side gets saved in bp_activity, but stuff from the bbPress side do not.

Is there any way so that user activities from bbPress gets saved to this BuddyPress table?

I have tried deactivating all plugins apart from bbPress and BuddyPress. Also, switched to the theme that came with BuddyPress. SiteWide Activity Stream is still limited to just BuddyPress activities.

Note that I have User Groups and Discussion Forums (within Groups) DISABLED, which is how I do want it, as we want the community as simple and straighforward as possible while still enjoying the awesome features like messaging from BuddyPress

I also imagine that if I were to create Groups in BuddyPress, and then post messages in Forums of that Group, it will get posted to the Activity Stream. But I really do not want Groups.

I understand that this may very well be how the plugin was designed to work, but this is a plea for a little help now

@djpaul – Just the standard, out-of-the-box BuddyPress registration process for now. Couple of additional fields, all added as standard (via BP profile settings).

We are looking into using Gravity Forms for user registration in the future, mainly so that we can hook Twitter (& other social url’s) into extended & custom profile field, and also to make the registration process self-contained (not requiring email activation), but right now, we’re just using out-of-the-box functionality/forms.

FYI – We’re also using the Mingle theme by Parallelus but having raised this issue over on their support forums, I was informed that it’s highly unlikely to be a theme-related issue, which is fair enough really.

sorry , i didnt get it , if the plugin is activated and i paste this second code somewhere in the theme it will show that menu?
