BuddyPress.org

The tables should be first created as soon as the very first forum post in (any) group is made. Very odd that is hasn’t. Was this on a clean install? i.e. you haven’t tried installing bbPress before in the same database. Are there any relevant messages in your webserver’s error log?

No, because no matter how many domains are mapped into your multisite or multinetwork (multiple multisites in one WP installation), you are still using only one installation and BuddyPress can still be only activated in once in said installation. Maybe after WP 3.1 and BP 1.3 roll out, there’ll be someone coming out with a BP multisite plugin.

@bropaterno I’m not that well versed with cosmic buddy’s options, but you could save copy of your home.php for file, then copy over the content of your theme’s index.php into home.php and that would be like the blog front page of brobble.com

@pcwriter even though you answered a 5-month-old question, the information you gave is still valid and will help others who would like to know how to use s2member effectively

@bropaterno first of all, nice customization of cosmic buddy

=== so where the current content slider (also a widget) is is where I would like to have the blog posts. ===
Can you not remove the content slider widget and replace that with Recent Posts widget? However, aren’t the posts on the lower left side of thee screen recent posts as well?

Make sure registration is enabled for your site.
For single WP install, go to ‘Settings’ > ‘General’ and check ‘Anyone can register’.
For a multisite install, go to ‘Super Admin’ > ‘Options’ and select an option at ‘Allow new registrations’.

@cdragin

There is actually a rather easy way to accomplish what you want done.with s2member.

New users are redirected to the homepage upon activation of their account. Using s2member’s API/Scripting, it’s quite simple to set up a page to display different content to not-logged-in visitors and logged-in members whose subscription level=0 (free membership).

1 – Create a page and assign it to ‘Front page displays’ under ‘Settings’ > ‘Reading’. That’s your new homepage.
2 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘API/Scripting’, go to ‘Using Simple Conditionals’ and study the example codes given. You can customize the content on your frontpage to display the PayPal buttons ONLY to registered members with a level=0. You can also set it up for incremental upgrade prompts according to the current membership level (s2member is really cool in that regard!).
3 – Under ‘s2member’ > ‘General Options > ‘Login Welcome Page’, you can redirect users to their BP profile when they login with this: http://YOUR-SITE.com/members/%%current_user_login%%/profile/

Now create your register page the way you want it, and have your users sign up in the usual way. (Perhaps include some info on that page informing them that will have the opportunity to select their membership options after activating their account.) They will be redirected to your frontpage upon activation and will then see your PayPal subscription button(s) displayed prominently, all the goodies that come with paid membership, and a hearty prompt to “pay their dues”.

Hope this helps!

This thread is 1 year, 1 month old. I’m going to close it as so much has changed in that time. Please create a new topic and provide full details of your problem and information about your site (version numbers, theme, and so on).

I have an even more basic problem at the moment … I can’t get the registration page to work.

Every time you click on it you get redirected to the home page. Have I simply missed something in the configuration? Sample at xtreme.transmutationsciences.com

Hi @inakie, please let me knowif you found a solution to this. I´m interested too. Thanks

There are several plugins that implement a point system into buddypress.

@mercime The tags are not needed in bp-custom.php because “unexpected “<" is referring to the tags, "unexpected" means there is an error in the code of where of it simply shouldn't be there. (tested, removed tags solved parse error)

Maybe I have the special bp-custom.php, but from my understanding you only need opening tags is of when you are creating or calling a brand new function, otherwise being split up in the file by a “}”

I could be wrong, but this is how I make php work.

@gunju2221 you need to have the opening “ to surround code especially if you just created a new bp-custom.php. The parse error you mentioned may have been caused by something else.

@Chatterpit the first link I gave show server and WordPress install requirements before installing BuddyPress. At this stage where you mentioned “Okay I just installed wordpress. I am logging in but it wont let me go to site admin when I click it?” it shows that your WP install is not even working correctly. There are many reasons for that and you should find resolution to your WP installation issue at WordPress.org forums before attempting to install BuddyPress plugin.

@residentcusano this will be the second post I’ve closed. Please don’t create more than one post on the same subject. Continue this one in the other which has received a response in.

https://buddypress.org/developers/nuprn1 rich! etiviti wrote a suite of plugins one of which is ‘BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation’
Don’t allow your members to sign up and instantly create groups set a time period they have to wait, spammers won’t wait, genuine members will not mind if it’s clear to them they have to wait a few hours, a day or whatever.

`bp_is_active()` checks if a BP $component is active – not whether members are registered but not activated. The `bp_account_was_activated` function is used in the activate.php template but isn’t appropriate here I don’t think.

In addition to the BuddyPress Conditional Tags – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/ – you might also look at WordPress Conditional Tags – https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags – to see if there are any that will work for you.

P.S. I just saw your other post.

This occurs due to my BuddyPress Auto Group Join plugin. How can I hide the not-yet-activated members from appearing on the Group Members page?

It seems like it would be better to modify the plugin(s) causing the issue instead of modifying the BP code. Maybe the plugin developers can assist.

FYI: I put a more generic posting here (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-hide-content-related-to-members-who-are-registered-but-not-activated/#post-85519) if the admins think this is too off-topic

Hello,
I’ve been working all weekend on this one and I just can’t seem to find an answer.

*//PROBLEM: Users that have registered but have NOT activated their accounts show on the Group Members page (…/[bpressdirectory]/groups/[groupname]/members/). This occurs due to my BuddyPress Auto Group Join plugin (link below). How can I hide the not-yet-activated members from appearing on the Group Members page?

Any idea where I went wrong?

WordPress 3.0.4
BuddyPress 1.2.7

Plugins:
– S2Member (http://www.primothemes.com/post/product/s2member-membership-plugin-with-paypal/)
– BuddyPress Auto Group Join (http://twodeuces.com/wordpress-plugins/buddypress-auto-group-join) – This

@arezki … so … does this plugin block attempts to sign up? How does it determine if something should be blocked? I looked at the plugin file on WP.org and it isn’t very specific. I can go into my server cpanel and block IPs all day long and I still get tons of spambots. I get user activation keys and blog setups with out a spambot actually doing the compelte process. grrrr.

WHERE are the file located? These are not core WP/buddypress files.
