BuddyPress.org

@mercime …nested comments within the activity stream. You are correct! Thanks for the quick reply.

The default buddypress theme has the same problem. I am using buddypress version 1.5.5. Also I know my theme has not been updated for buddypress (http://themezee.com/zeebizzcard/)..could that be the problem?

Anything else you need just lemme know, thanks for the help!

@mrjarbenne Thanks for the links, But those are paid plugins and I am all about the open source! especially if it is for wordpress

@djpaul Hey was wondering if you might help me out with some idea concepts. I got the whole settings to work and added my own page to the nav bar, that part was easy. However I hit a topping point.

I thought it would be easier to check if an update was part of a group AND if the user is part of that group. However I am finding it difficult to check this.

I noticed that in the activity there is a item_id which if it is a group update it is the group Id … but is there any other way to check to see if the activity_update is a group other than this? What about changing the content type to activity_group_update or something… Right now I have this and it seems totally hackish and not good at all. Seems to work to check though but also is invalid for any other update other than a group one….
` global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$hide_public_groups = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, ‘hide_public_groups’ );
$hide_update = false;
if ( $hide_public_groups[0] == “yes” ) {
global $activities_template;
$group_id = $activities_template->activity->item_id;

$is_member_of_group = check_is_member_of_group( $current_user->ID, $group_id );
//echo $is_member_of_group;
if ( $is_member_of_group ) {
//this is working but is filtering out any other post
//need to check for if this is not a group post to just let it slide.
//maybe it is better to grab the groups_loop real quick and then just query for this specific group and then make sure it is public and is member….
//echo “no hide”;
//var_dump($group);
} else {
//echo “hide it”;
//$hide_update = true;

}
} `

Also just a note the check_is_member_of_group i stole from the class Bp_Groups_Member…
Any ideas anyone? I know this should be easier and I am way over thinking it.. It was late last night…

Sorry to have fallen off the earth for a couple of days. I had a talk with my beloved hosting guy. I copied him Hugo’s comments and asked him if this could be the cause of other challenges we have been having with the site (not related to BuddyPress). He said Hugo was spot on. (Its ok Hugo, you can dance now…)

If the horse is dead, dismount. I took it to the boss. I am researching new themes. Thank you for the guidance to make our website the best it can be. And thank you Mercime for not giving up until all rock were turned.

@mercime, the plugin folder does not exist due to deletion. Therefore that php file also does not exist. Thank you for your assistance.

@djpaul I don’t get it. If I set posts_per_page to -1 it shows all the posts correctly. So why isn’t it allowing to page when I set it to 8? How would you do this if it were you?

Ok done, you can view the new tab here:

It works wonderfully well, thank you @ChrisClayton for your help.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.
