::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Since a few pals here have tested and found some things to correct, I have addeded this correction (so now it works OK, yay!):

Below this:

<div id="message" class="info">

</div>

Add this:

jq('.pixelMonitor').remove();
jq(document).unbind('scroll');

Hi, all, @naijaping @abysshorror @funmi-omoba

I finally found the time to work on this. I’ll post a detailed explanation on my blog later but here it goes for you to be able to use it right away. I’ll maybe make a plugin of all this, and some code you’ll have to tweak will be overridden if you update your buddypress theme but by that time I hope this will be improved and I’ll post to you back with the updates.

So:

1) Edit the file: /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php (around line 38) This assumes you're using the default theme, if not, do it in your other theme file.

// Change:

<li class="load-more">
<a href="#more"></a>
</li>

// For this:

jq('.pixelMonitor').remove();
jq(document).unbind('scroll');

// 2) Add this at the bottom of that file:

<div class="pixelMonitor" style="width: 1px;height: 1px">
<div id="loadingActivityMessage" style="background-color: white;float: right;height: 16px;padding: 4px 2px 4px 39px;width: 100px">Loading...</div>
</div>

/* Auto load more updates at the end of the page when reaching the bottom of the page */

jq(document).ready( function() {

iterationAllowed = true;

function loadActivityOnScroll(){

jq("#loadingActivityMessage").show();

if ( null == jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage') )
jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage', 1, {path: '/'} );

var oldest_page = ( jq.cookie('bp-activity-oldestpage') * 1 ) + 1;

jq.post( ajaxurl, {
action: 'activity_get_older_updates',
'cookie': encodeURIComponent(document.cookie),
'page': oldest_page
},
function(response){
jq("#loadingActivityMessage").hide();
jq.cookie( 'bp-activity-oldestpage', oldest_page, {path: '/'} );
jq("#content ul.activity-list").append(response.contents);

}, 'json' );

return false;

};

jq(document).scroll(function(){

if ( Math.round(jq('.pixelMonitor').last().offset().top) > ( jq(document).height() -500 ) && iterationAllowed === true ) {
loadActivityOnScroll();
iterationAllowed = false;
setTimeout('iterationAllowed = true', 3000);
};

});

}); /* Auto load more activity block ending here */

Hope you enjoy it. In near future I hope I’ll have it as a plugin and I’ll post it here to let you know.

Some demo: http://www.horizontea.com/ (scroll to the bottom to see in action).

PS: I’m not saying this is bug free, but will not affect any data on your db or installation, it just tweaks the interface Cheers!

PS 2: As soon as I check the “WP/BP” way to add this code to the file “automatically” (as a plugin) I’ll update it.

Yes it was the installation wizard I was trying to go through I would of remembered that if I could get into my dashboard my apologies. I am using the BP default theme with a WordPress dating plugin from datingsolutions.biz. It was the BuddyPress Template Pack and when it tried to move the files automatically it failed and showed me steps to do it manually, that’s why I used Filezilla.

So I was able to remove the button for “leave group”. For those who may want to do the same just remove the following from line 50 of the group-header.php file in your buddypress theme.
`

`

Will post here if I figure out how to remove the other buttons.

Hey thanks for getting back to me, I tried changing back to Buddypress default and the same problem remains.

@mercime here you go…

Thanks for checking this out

Wow! I finally found the solution after all kind of testing.

I’ll share my solution in case this helps someone in the same situation :

1. Open the forums tab in buddypress
2. Unsinstall group forums
3. delete the file bb-config.php from your wordpress root directory
4. uncheck the forums component from buddypress
5. Save the page settings in the settings tab
6. Save again the permalinks settings in wordpress
7. check the forums component in buddypress
8. click install group forums in buddypress forums tab
9. Go to admin settings of all the groups I created and click save again the settings

I’m not sure if all those steps are necessary, but I tried everything to make it work. hahaha

By the way I’m not using the bbpress plugin.

I telll you this because I read the codex about forum setup (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/#bp-group-forums) I’m wondering if I should install it ?

After I installed and activated buddypress with ALL the components, the group forums where already installed when opened the forums tab.

@mercime I followed the buddypress wizard and I’m using the “BuddyPress Default 1.5.5”

Site URL : http://test.hardcorebattlefield.com

What type of test user do you need ?

In my dashboard, to update the buddypress plugin the next step was to move the template files as in each page, register, members, groups, forums, etc. I uploaded the files and moved those folders somewhere and now I don’t see them. In /public_html/wp-content/themes I only see smallbiz, twentyeleven,twentyten, and index.php folders.

Links posted in comments on profile walls or activity stream redirects users off the site to view the links. I am using WP 3.3.2 and BP 1.5.5. I have a multisite installation but I am only running BP on a subdirectory. http://www.neosolcafe.com/community. I am using the following plugins.

Advance Code Editor
Buddypress Album
Multi Site User Management
WP-FB Auto Connect
WangGuard
Akismet
BP Profile Search
BP Activity Plus
BP Auotmatic Friends
BuddyStream Premuim
Invite Anyone
RS BP Activity Refresh
WP-PageNavi
WP Smush.it

Thanks

@mercime Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question, I appreciate your advice and I am going to set everything up like you suggested.
