True @hnla, there shouldn’t be a duplicate username in the first place.
It could be that a member named “Frank Furter” whose username may be something else like frankfurter messaged Anne who mistakenly replied to @frank instead of @frankfurter

Would be nice if there was a “BuddyPress” Admin setting that did not have to be “Super Admin” for the whole network but still had access to the BuddyPress adminning…

@bplove I searched around and found this: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/editable-comments/

@Paul

Under “Super Admin” > “Users”, click “Edit” under the username of the member you want to promote.
Then, on the member’s WP Edit User screen, check the box labeled ” Grant this user super admin privileges for the Network”.
Save.

Build Child theme of bp-default then copy header.php from bp-default theme into your child theme. Delete lines 51-55.

Not planned for core at this time, but we try hard to provide support for anyone wanting to write a plugin to do this.

You can create a test account at my site (still under development) to check out how things look: http://nowrecovery.com

Is this what you are looking for?

@boonebgorges
true. it makes a lot more sense working towards a certain goal. in my case that was also wordpress development, so that’s the way i learned php as well. which wasn’t necessarily the easiest or fastest way to do it. Anyways, I think, having a certain understanding of php makes it so much easier to understand WP, or any other php-based code.

Once I got my hands on Programming PHP, my skills developed a lot faster than by trying to figure out stuff by reading other peoples source code.

I actually learned PHP by doing WP development, so I don’t think you have to do it in that order. But you do have to get real good at Googling, and you have to have a lot of patience combing through source code of other plugins, as @modemlooper suggests, and at the source code of BP and WP itself.

a safe bet is just to modify a child theme for /groups/groups-loop.php and change the line of code
`

` to
`

`

another idea is just to add a forum link within the group directory loop

it’s item 9 on this list for BuddyPress 1.3:

@modemlooper – roles would restrict you to just one level of categorisation

Category and tag taxonomies for members would allow you to implement much more complex groupings, e.g. hierarchical nested groups of members, allocation of members to multiple categories, etc.

[Edit: This argument applies to groups as well as members, and is something Burt Adsit tried to achieve in the early 1.0 BuddyPress days]

A good way to start are these 2 pages:

This one specifically for BP:
https://codex.buddypress.org/home/

And this one for WP:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page

On that last one have a look at the developers documentation.
But as said before, if you don’t know php, then that’s where you need to start.

Download existing plugins and look at the code. That’s how I learn by disecting and seeing the workings of a functional plugin. Also I plan an idea and then learn as I go along. If you get stuck there are plenty of people here who might help. And like @djpaul said you need to understand php as that’s what WP/BP is built on

@thelandman – yes, that should do it

@hitler, @rogercoathup, I think this is what we’re looking for. http://buddydev.com/buddypress/using-activity-as-wire-in-buddypress-1-2-themes/

@thelandman, @hitler

With some template coding, you can enable writing on other people’s walls – it’s done on this site for instance… click through to any member, and you’ll see the post box at the top!

I haven’t looked in to the coding, but suspect it’s just a ‘simple’ case of hiding the @mention ‘behind’ the post form

@Hitler, unfortunately there is no way to write on a users profile “wall” with BP. The system implemented with BP is similar to how Twitter works. User’s communicate through @ mentions or simply commenting on another user’s status.
