BuddyPress.org

Same problem here. Developed a huge buddypress project because of the announced solution. Now we are getting problems and questions why we were building on this system. Regards, Alex

May I suggest we have a consistent hover over colour just from a usability point of view? Even a hover and current would be the ideal I would go that stage further. I totally agree the top and sub / drop menus should both have a hover colour but it should also be the same. I also would lean to the menus actually being the same colour not the different white. My reason would be 2 fold: contrast / visual and usability.

Rather than doing a 2 cents with another version and creating a too many cooks situation I reckon seems sensible to add to the version you’ve come so far with @Modemlooper? May I suggest some possible enhancements as a result of this thinking?

I’m thinking we could perhaps add the following possible enhancements:

1. Hover / current styling
2. Darker consistent to top menu styling
3. Bottom border rounding on the drop down perhaps to match the top rounding on the top menus?

If you mean url.com/username

@modemlooper I would need a plugin with this simple function, I go on the user page and with the admin options if I want I can select “verified account” and an image will be displayed on the member page.

Any leads on how I could write this ?

No biggie for the IE6 display:none bug. I changed it per @hnla‘s suggestion.

@djpaul an issue: when creating a menu link thats not a page just a straight url link to say /activity it doesn’t add the class to make the tab look selected.

check it by clicking activity and then another tab http://tempsg.com/

@djpaul

I’ve been working on this over here http://tempsg.com/

I was doing it with a if ( is_nav_menu( ‘BuddyPress’ ) )
show menu
else
show the hard coded links

@localpaper and all the others: this is a working start (at the moment only working with multisites enabled):

Give it a try.

The problem seems to be that user_nicenames aren’t getting transfered over properly. Are you running any other plugins? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

Everything you ever wanted to know about page templates can be found here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Templates

@fortinmichel – The patch allows you to override the auto-generated excerpt. You still need to actually write the code to override it.

I already answered this question. Answer is available on the first page:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/replace-activity-stream-blog-excerpt-with-the_excerpt/#post-67290

It’s basically a page template using a forum topics loop.

Get acquainted with the forum topics loop!
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-forum-topics-loop/

Not sure if the “forum_id” can be comma-delimited. If so, you could specify specific groups to pull forum topics from.

You could also possibly use the activity stream loop to gather topics of groups you’ve joined as well:

Hmm. I’ve got the latest BP version, which has the https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2481 patch added, obviously. But I still don’t get my excerpts to show up — it still uses the fake excerpt created by BP rather than the post’s the_excerpt. Is there another bug?

There’s BP Gallery by Bradesh (http://buddydev.com/), which is ready to be used on a production site, but has a price tag. And then there’s BP Album + by foxly and francescolaffi (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/), which isn’t quite ready for a production site, but is free and shows a lot of promise.

@davewoodbridge – I’m having them same problem – well except that I just get a white screen after signup rather than 404. The registration goes through alright but the user is not added to my mailchimp list.

I’m thinking it must not be compatible with BP 1.2.6. Does anyone have any ideas. @Travel-Junkie – any chance of looking into the problem?

Its a really cool plugin but the main reason I want it is to integrate the signup with Mailchimp.

Thanks,
Andrew.

I’m in the same boat, experienced in WordPress and building my first BuddyPress site. I can’t speak to all the specifics of the photo gallery but overall I’d say yes, a site like that is possible. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a good photo gallery BP plugin out there.

BuddyPress functions should be pretty intuitive if you know WordPress, although BuddyPress is not as well documented. So it helps if you know enough PHP to understand how a function works just by reading the code.

Good luck!
