BuddyPress.org

Does this write up in the codex help?

@marcycapron, did you ever figure it out? I need to do the same thing you were after (changing the default screen that loads when a member name is clicked on to “Profile”).

@jvoss — are any of your fields required? If so, are they actually forcing users to fill them out?

I was able to add my 2nd and 3rd profile fields to registration, but the “required” fields can be bypassed without filling them out.

You have to update your permalinks after activating buddypress.

I already had that setup and it works fine, but since mine isn’t a live site yet, I’m planning on working with the bbPress plugin for WordPress.

Well things were all good for a month, now I am getting slammed every night from 2-6am.

Can someone confirm this is correct (if my site were ebay.com and my registration page was myslug)…
‘
# BEGIN ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .myslug*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*ebay.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://die-spammers.com/ [R=301,L]
# END ANTISPAMBLOG REGISTRATION
‘

Reading back a page or two this is supposed to redirect attackers, I tried entering myURL?something=something but it doesn’t do anything. How can I test this to make sure it working?

Thansk.

We need more BuddyPress themes, but can’t really say I like the colors and all that shadow..

Other then that, it’ll probably be a good template to work out off. Keep at it.

BP Codex is your friend, BP requires pretty permalinks – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

Thanks for the note about the API key. I removed it from the original post.

The kind of sorting you’re talking about is possible but is quite a bit trickier. I have successfully used https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-geo/ is a starting point for that kind of filtering, but the repo version of the plugin is broken, and I’ve modified it fairly heavily to make it work for my projects. One day I hope to release a cleaned-up and improved version of BP Geo.

The basic gist is that you need to (a) use Google’s geocoding to turn location info into lat/long which you then store, and (b) use some fancy math (nicely defined in bp-geo) to do the proximity filtering.

All BP members are subscribers. If you want any of those members access to admin to post blogs then you make their account authors.

The way in which you check to make sure BuddyPress is installed and activated has changed over time. As @djpaul indicates, the proper way is to use a mypluginname_loader.php file and hook into the bp_include event: https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/checking-buddypress-is-active/

The BuddyPress Skeleton Component is woefully out of date a this time. So you should use it as a general guide only. To get a clearly understanding of how things are done, I suggest studying a few of the more popular, major custom components that work with the latest version of BP.

The problem was in the plugin. Solved.

I’am with the same problem, when and user try to acess the registration page it redirect to “adress.com/?bp_pc_redir_to=register”

Anyone know how to solve? Alredy try to remove some addons like S2 Member, but still doesn’t working

One such thread with some sample code is https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/filtering-out-activity-stream-stuff/ … I found that searching “activity stream filter” FWIW.

any news on a patch or bit of code to display a members username as an alt tag for avatar images?
The code needs to go onto bp-core-avatars but so far I can’t get anything other than a static description ie ‘avatar image’

This looks to be a server permissions error. You will likely need to talk to your hosting provider about this.

@r-a-y Thanks for the input. I have solved the title page issue as per your link provided thanks!

Still battling with my main site being seen as a secondary site on the bp-default install (running on a sub-directory) I have only activated bp-default on the subdirectory as suggested. Both sites run well, but under the blogs tab in bp-default theme all my other sites are showing on the community site as well that shouldnt be there. Is this just a basic setting I am getting wrong here or am I trying to do something thats not possible!

@nuprn1 When I install your plugin, I don’t see any kind of options page. Also, I made 1 post in my group forums, and returned this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_forum_extras_is_first_post() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/bp-forum-extras-highlight.php on line 24

In my loader.php, I hook into ‘bp_include’ and include a main file. In that other file, I use ‘bp_setup_globals’ for globals and ‘bp_setup_root_components’ to register the root component. You can view my source at http://code.google.com/p/achievements/source/browse/achievements/trunk/includes/achievements-core.php if it helps.
