There’s a premium plugin at Buddydev that works very well:

Branded Login Plugin for your BuddyPress Powered site

Is anyone has done Search Activity on his website ? Would be great to have a tutorial.

Thanks.

Here’s a clue…

I would love that idea.
The main reason why I think that diaspora has some great potential is because users can connect and become friends with each other across multiple domains who also have diaspora installed. The fact that diaspora is written in ruby might be a small obstacle because there are less capable ruby devs out there for writing modules.

Not sure if you’ve found your answer yet, but it looks like this plugin does what you’re wanting to do:

New BuddyPress plugin: BP Group Management

Hi Sarah,

Try this workaround:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/#register

Do you have the Groups component enabled on your BuddyPress install?

Login to your WP dashboard, navigate to “BuddyPress > Component Setup” and check to see if Groups is enabled.

The right place to post your support question for the BP Album+ plugin is here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/

That’s because it’s hardcoded in the bp-default theme (unfortunately).

You can remedy this by creating a child theme with bp-default as the template. Then, copy over bp-default’s header.php and remove the WordPress version meta tag.

ive spent more than 15 mins trying to setup my avatar here but I didn’t bother to read the instructions on the profile page “….If there is a Gravatar associated with your account email we will use that, or you can upload an image from your computer.”

Thanks for pointing that out

Just adding to this rather than creating a new topic:

I keep getting an error when trying to upload an avatar (on here):

Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /home/buddypress/public_html/wpmu/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/6656263. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Also get a ’page not found’ whenever trying to search through search pages with multiple pages

And when I do look through searches there seems to be endless spam.

Appreciate there seem to be only a very small number of people keeping things going on here and they obviously give an awful lot so I really don’t want to offend, but it does seem that it’s not the best advert for using buddypress.

That said I’m using it anyway and looking forward to it too!

User blogs are a function of WP rather than BuddyPress. You need WPMU or the newer WP 3.0.1 installed and if installing WP 3.0.1 then you have to manually enable the Multi Site functionality; you will find a guide to doing this on the WP codex.

Hi Sven — Thanks! I replied to your question on the google group. Copy/pasting here for the sake of completion:

Depends on whether you’re using EventPress on WordPress or EventPress on
BuddyPress — support for nicely displaying tags and categories hasn’t been
included at the moment, but for I can definitely add in templates for
WordPress by 0.1.3. Tag/Category support in BuddyPress needs much more work
and will take a bit of time.

@markhahnel –

The solution from @nuprn1 is essentially the details for implementing option 1 that I suggested above, the code snippet I gave you is the option 2 solution.

Hi

I’m trying to do exactly the same thing but the plugin linked above doesn’t work when you have buddypress installed.

Wordpress can use the user “nicename” as the url – but for some reason the profile page breaks whenever there is a dash (“-“) in that field.

@markhahnel

You can adapt the code snippet in here by changing the blog id: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/posts-of-the-main-blog-in-site-wide-activity/

If your theme follows the default structure, you’ll find your activity loop in my-theme/activity/activity-loop.php

Also have a look at the custom loop documentation (click documentation under support tab) on this site
