BuddyPress.org

First of all I would change it back to the “full name” field until you figure this out.

What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?

Not quite, but here’s how to do it: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-the-sitewide-globalunified-search-page-for-your-buddypress-theme/

Are you sure your @import paths are correct, are you actually calling the right adminbar.css? There are only a few rulesets that will govern these dimensions, Firebug is a extension for Firefox that will allow you to observe which rulesets are applied to an element when you hover the element in the viewport.

I’m having the same problem. I was able to fix the problem in order to display site-wide groups in the footer of a profile page, but it did not work for displaying members. Below is the code that worked to show groups:
`<?php $args = array(
‘type’ => ‘random’,
‘user_id’ => ‘false’
);
if ( bp_has_groups( $args) ) : ?>` …

The codex says you can set user_id to “false”, but it hasn’t worked for me. If the profile you are viewing has no friend connections, no members appear?

I would like to know if there is ANY way to add code to the registration page ( /register )

I want to include code that will automatically take information from the /register page and have it not only register the person on my buddypress site, but also to another site located on another domain.

I have the code that will do what I want, but I can not figure out how to insert it into the “FORM” of the /register page. BuddyPress does not give you a way to add a profile “field” to the registration page that is “hidden” and I need to include a hidden tag into the registration form.

ANY Suggestions???

@clarklab Do you have access to the database? Have the wp_bp_ tables been created properly? If not, try deactivating BP and then switching it back on.

It’s not possible with a default installation of BuddyPress. While it could be built without too much trouble, I am not aware of a plugin that allows admins to receive these kinds of notifications, either.

For the first stage of the process (blog, feeds, twitter integration) BuddyPress is overkill. WordPress by itself will be great for this purpose.

If you want forums and other social features, BuddyPress will be a good option. The best place to start is by installing BP on a test installation, playing around with it and asking questions in these forums. Good luck!

I learned PHP by trying to build something. Find a BuddyPress or a WordPress plugin that does something small but interesting, and pick it apart. Try to modify it to do something similar.

Pretty easy. Just create some custom registration fields for each of the categories you want to collect. You can make them mandatory if you want, too.

Then to make things private you can use the BuddyPress Private Community plugin, and that would prevent prying eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t.

Thanks to @mercime for pointing me here

@hotforwords
Here’s what I did (hope I didn’t skip anything)
-On line 35 of bb-template-pack.php I changed bp-js to dtheme-ajax-js
-copy line 24 through 36 in functions.php and paste in bp-template-pack.php (line 36)

That’s it? Do I need to update any else in bp-template-pack?

Hmm, now that you mention it I’m seeing the same thing on my subdomain blogs (using a rev of 2010 theme on subblogs, wih bp-default/minor child customizations on my main site). Gravatars still show up, but not user defined avatars. My most notable change as of late has been BP 1.2.6.

@topracer, what bp rev are you running?

@intimez – check out @hotforword’s fix/upgrade to BP Template Pack – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-template-pack-and-buddypress-1-2-6-things-break-but-i-have-a-solution

It’s no different than say twitter where you have your @username and then Joe User on your profile
