BuddyPress.org

I can confirm the problem. The issue occurs if you have a negative GMT offset. Since xprofile dates are saved for midnight of the chosen day, anyone with a negative GMT offset will have their date shifted backwards, which then displays as the day previous to the one chosen.

ie –
Date Chosen: January 4th, 2011
Saved in Database as : January 4th, 2011 at 12:00am GMT
Timezone: Central Standard Time (-0600 GMT)
After bp_format_time(): January 3rd, 2011 at 6:00pm CST

I’ve added a patch to https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2779 to fix the issue.

@Tekuan%20Coleman
is there a “real” and “fake” default theme? i have activated the

Yes and that is the point I was trying to make earlier there is only THE bp default theme all it’s files live in /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default any other theme is what is referred to as a child theme and may have any number of custom changes that can cause issues. To trouble shoot it is essential that the defaults are used i.e the default theme is activated and no plugins other than BP are running.

@nuprn1, the filters listed, does not seem to work on custom theme…. or at-least from what I am using. I added the filters you listed in your second post to line 113, no success. I need this to work here, because I have a group on my site that is meant for a pastebin, and the code tags make it a absolute mess, pigpen!!!

P.S…. a little help on the MarkItUp would be awesome too!

Thanks!

@el_terko

Thanks! I had missed that one!

Is this what you were looking for ? http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-activity-comment-notifier/

I was hoping I could get help with something…for some reason the posts dont appear in the activity stream of the group but do show in the streams of the users following the group, but all the posts from the blog’s history show up. Is there a way to only pull say 10 updates a day? @r-a-y

Can BuddyPress really run on IIS and SQL Server? Even IIS and MySQL is problematic I believe.

As was mentioned, it depends on how you optimize your site and how fast you consider Jet Fast to be.

Bluehost might be the best option for WordPress (I use it myself), but it’s far from the best option for BuddyPress. It can work with BuddyPress, but not with any scale and you have to deal with little things like configuring the mail from plugin, or setting up the email address that BP uses. Either fix works for Bluehost.

I’d say that BuddyPress is better for people that want to have their own identity on the network and they want to interact with other people on the network outside of the forum. A forum is better for discussion of topics.

@Mouchoirs Do a search for “Private Buddypress site” or something like that and you’ll find lots of threads on how to redirect non-logged in users to the login or registration page.

@djpaul,
Seems like you should be able to just replicate the user account creation calls on another page right? This is something I was considering doing for my project. Basically, someone could upload a list of email addresses and names, and it would create the person’s account, email them a temp password and they’d be good to go. Yes, I know WP use to do temp password and took that out, but in this case it might be useful to do.

Still working on my own buddypress site, but I like plain colours without too many gradients and a nice amount of whitespace.

Tag clouds are dead btw, they’re only usefull for seo now a days.

I have noticed some stuff has gone from bp 1.2.7 default theme, I hope it does not make the column issue harder to fix. Thanks @modemlooper for letting us know when you will manage to update themes.

Good thing is as long as you link to stylesheets rather than embed styles the browser always caches – or should, but keeping styles and rulesets lean is always good from many points such as inheritance, specificity, etc; the more overworked rules become the harder it is to debug to the point where it actually becomes impossible without starting over.

yes but you can group them.

the img I would have thought was already dealt with by BP rules

this might work, as you don’t want to necessarilly style all the pseudo classes if you cab style the anchor alone:
`
#bp_activity_bar ul li a {
color:#ddd;
border:0;
}
`
might not work though in which case add in the pseudo classes as necessary:
`
#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,
#bp_activity_bar ul li a:focus {
color:#ddd;
border:0;
}`
etc

it’s as I mentioned earleir it’s the classic error:

you say this:
`#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,`
and you want to apply that to all pseudo class links so do this:

`#bp_activity_bar ul li a:link,a:visited,a:active,a:hover,img {}`

you have actually styled the activity bar :link class and then closed of that selector set and styled the generic pseudo elements

When you use grouping selectors ‘,’ you must re-state the full descendent path each time i.e you must state `#_activity_bar ul li :whatever {}`
