@Joss: any progress?

I have the same problem. Has anybody found a solution?

I think @pcwriter‘s code is the way to go – it’s just a question of putting it in the right files according to what you want to block. EG I wanted to block access to member profiles if user is not logged in, but I wanted them to see all the rest of the content on my site. So I copied the following files to my child theme:

members – single – home.php
members – single – member-header.php

Then in home.php I added the “is user logged in” check as shown highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/EyhRuwCq

This stopped the main profile content from appearing if the user is not logged in. You could stop there, but I wanted to remove extra data from the profile header and leave a message to the un-logged in user. So in header-message.php I added the log-in check as highlighted here: http://pastebin.com/mpxbkcCe

This cuts out all content in the header apart from the gravatar, the member name and a polite message. You can see it here: http://www.thebookboard.com/members/bookboard/

I’m not a coder, so I make no guarantees that this will work in all circumstances, but it works for me. Hope it helps others

(1) and (2) don’t require BuddyPress at all. For (2) you can use a custom post taxonomy or a custom post type (or plain old categories) to distinguish your own articles from your users’ content.

As for (3), BuddyPress doesn’t have a rating system built in. There are a lot of WordPress rating plugins, and I’m sure one of them could be adapted to work with BP.

Avatar upload forms appear in two places. One is registration/register.php, the other is members/single/profile/change-avatar.php. Create a child theme of bp-default (https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) with those two files, and then edit the HTML to your heart’s content.

Hi everybody,

I’m quite new using Buddypress.
I may have found a bug.

Here is my configuration :
PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch13, Buddypress 1.2.5.2, Buddypress links 0.4.1

When I go in the back-office > Buddypress > Components setup and disable Group, I have this PHP error when buddypress links plugin is activated :
Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-groupext.php on line 5

It seems that Buddypress Links need Groups enabled to work.

Can somebody check ?

Thanks

François

They got it wrong. It should be the other way around – Who needs Jomsocial if you can get BuddyPress?

See that they have a mobile “iphone” app available. Will be kickass for bp – http://www.jomsocial.com/download/addons/core-enhancements/ijoomer–iphone-app-for-jomsocial.html

@Cometchat Your sales/support chatter on cometchat.com was helpful and very confident in his/her questions.

Also, I wanted to commend you for creating a post in the Buddypress site and responding. There are some (not many) plugin/addon authors that don’t keep in touch with users before/after a purchase so it’s a good gesture to be here as a resource.

I’ve grown up Buddypress so I’m not sure how they can claim to have a value proposition.
$XXX + forums that only disclose presales questions or “success stories” = a bit sketchy.

Buddypress welcomes Jomsocial refugees and doesn’t charge for a great experience either

Hmm Joomla.

Funny; check the ‘Happy users’ logos , one of our own listed there! Wonder if they would care to explain

I see that Joomla is still kicking out very badly malformed markup, they are so lucky that browser parsers aren’t stricter.

@ewebber glad you fixed it and seconding what DJPaul said, thank you for letting us know.

@Boone Gorges,

using bp_core_remove_nav_item( ‘blogs’ ) at bp_setup_nav didn’t work for me. But putting it in mariochampions function right after “global $bp” did – any idea why?

@mariochampion,

sorry, but I’m new to BP, and I can’t find the xprofile-settings.php you’re referring to above – could you give me a hand? Could you also indicate where you changed the slugs in the copied file?

Thanks!

If your groups and categories have exactly the same name, you could try modifying your group home.php file (groups/single/home.php in the bp-default theme), accessing the group name and using that in a query_posts / have_posts loop

If they have different names, you will have to look at extending your group, adding a parameter to capture the corresponding category id. Again, you would then add a query_posts / have_posts loop and use it your group home.php template.

This page gives some more information on the groups API, and may be of some help: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

Please see this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/split-members-into-admin-defined-caregories/

I have it in htaccess file as per below, I am sure it will correct the letters.

Deactivate BuddyPress and BP Plugins, set Appearance to a regular WP theme.
Then go back and activate BuddyPress only, set Appearance to BP-compatible theme and go to frontend.

Check out this Trac ticket on the subject: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2207

@nunomad – you could try this approach as a workaround –

Keep your main site as a WordPress site based on Thesis template and install BuddyPress in a secondary site (see instructions under docs on here)

That should preserve your hooks in the primary site. You’ll have to do some work with your urls, nav and bp site theming though
