BuddyPress.org

There are too many options. There are 725 plugins tagged video for WordPress. Not all of these will work with BuddyPress.

You are better off testing plugins out. As for themes, you can use most WordPress themes with BuddyPress but you will have to adjust the code.

Thank you Paul.

You have already asked this, please be patient it’s the weekend and late, posting twice will not get any faster a response.

Closing this thread ;continue in the original please.

I’ve still a similar problem, see https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/error-with-forum-bp-v1-2-5-2/ butte didn’t getany response yet. I use a windows 2003 Server System with the following plugins installed: Akismet, BP Xtra Signup, BuddyPress, BuddyPress Album+, BuddyPress Forums Extras – RSS Feeds, Buddypress Friends, BuddyPress Profile Privacy, BuddyPress Tweet Button, Configure SMTP, Duplicate Post, Easy Verification, Fast Secure Contact Form, Invite Anyone, Jet Event System for BuddyPress, Link Library, My Brand Login, NextGEN Gallery, oEmbed for BuddyPress, TinyMCE Advanced, Transposh Translation Filter, Welcome Pack, WP Google Weather

I’m experiencing the same problem – but I’m definitely using a BuddyPress enabled theme. I’m trying to enable registration on my home page by using a template, but nothing is being returned by bp_get_current_signup_step(), so nothing is displayed between

. Is there a way of working around this? @thomallen Did you get this working eventually?

Maybe this will help. But I don’t use this plugin so I’m not sure if it includes the widget used on this site.

@Pisanojm re “latest topic preview in the groups page underneath each group name”
solution at this thread with some adjustment may be the ticket for you – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/show-by-latest-post-by-group/

@pisanojm 10-4 good news indeed

@thelandman That looks great. I’m a big proponent of lettings others learn from what we’ve done and accomplished. Is there any chance you could turn it into a plugin or possibly submit your code to the phpfreechat plugin developers and invite them to release their future versions with your “BP-enabled” settings?

a little quick tip i did to display the latest activity for a group
http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-display-the-groups-recent-activity-on-group-directory-groups-loop/#topic

but this is using the activity stream content – so to filter the activity content to just forum topics: change the line ‘action’ => false to ‘action’ => ‘new_forum_topic’ you may need to tweak some other stuff (content, title, etc)

see how it works here:
http://etivite.com/groups/

i vaguely remember a BP jquery plugin for an older version of BP that did this but was unable to find it.

a plugin could be created – the entire content is pulled and the filter bp_get_activity_content_body is available. (though not all activity updates have a permalink – just members, and uses the same templatetags)

(Sorry in advance that this answer is full of code. There is currently no easy way to do what you want to do, though with some coding it can be done pretty easily.)

Plugins generally create new group tabs through the BP Group Extension API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/ So a relatively quick way to keep certain tabs from appearing on certain groups is to modify the enable_nav_item() method, as shown under ‘Advanced Usage’ on that page. You’d have to do this to the plugins themselves.

If you’d prefer not to modify the plugins (which would be quite understandable) you could remove nav items after the fact with bp_core_remove_subnav_item(), defined in bp-core.php. This would take a lot of tweaking (and this is totally untested, so you’d have to experiment) but something in bp-custom.php like the following might work for you:

`function boone_limit_gallery_visibility() {
global $bp;

if ( !groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->groups->current_group->id, ‘show_gallery’ ) )
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘groups’, ‘gallery’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_limit_gallery_visibility’, 999 );`

This assumes a couple things: 1) that your gallery plugin uses the term ‘gallery’ to name the subnav item, and 2) that you have already created a piece of group metadata ‘show_gallery’ for all groups that should see the gallery. You could also hardcode an array of group ids, like so:

`function boone_limit_gallery_visibility() {
global $bp;

$gallery_array = array( 3, 6, 10, 12, 14 );

if ( !in_array( $bp->groups->current_group->id, $gallery_array) )
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( ‘groups’, ‘gallery’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘boone_limit_gallery_visibility’, 999 );`

That might be easier to get up and running at first, while you build the markup and functions necessary to save groupmeta.

might be possible to override the filter bp_core_get_userid (what is used in catchuri) and instead of looking up via username and use a different sql statement

The markup for the edit profile page is in the theme directory, members/single/profile/edit.php. The change avatar page is right next to it, members/single/profile/change-avatar.php. The markup for the settings screens is created in bp_core_screen_general_settings(), located in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-settings.php. It’s possible in theory to move all of this markup to the same file – say, edit.php.

Then you’ll have to combine the form data handlers, which might be more tricky. When you save your settings panels, they are run through bp_core_screen_general_settings; you can find the code you need there. When you save the Edit Profile screen, it gets run through xprofile_screen_edit_profile() in buddypress/bp-xprofile.php. And the first stop for the Change Avatar page is xprofile_screen_change_avatar(), also in bp-xprofile.php. You’d have to merge all of these handlers somehow in order to get them to process data from the same HTML form.

Good luck.

@milordk can I ask what you mean by this comment:

It makes no sense to prove that it is better
I seriously hope it’s not directed at me I am not trying to prove that one plugin or another is better or worse, nor did I start this thread or the two others laboriously debating these two plugins.

Both your plugins have strengths and weaknesses I favour neither over the other however others are asking which to use. from my brief glance at the two I noted with surprise that your plugin does not generate maps ? if that’s wrong my apologies, and by generate I don’t refer to providing a url to google static maps, but mercime seemed to think the plugin did generate maps so perhaps I misunderstood how things work?

@micb11, why don’t you try this plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/login-with-ajax/

@grahamwalters,

First download and install the Firebug extension for Firefox. Found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/

Then get to know how to use Firebug by reading through this document: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/6555469/How-to-use-Firebug
The document is pretty detailed so it’ll allow you to wrap your head around things.

@pcwriter, good idea! I’ve managed to integrate phpfreechat into a BP site I’m working on, where that chat is docked at the bottom of the screen while the user is able to browse through the website. I’m going to put together a little tutorial once I’ve fine tuned everything.
