BuddyPress.org

you can disable activity stream commenting for forum topics/replies via buddypress wp-admin – activity stream just contains an excerpt of the topic post with permalinks back to the forum topic. (which activity stream has its own commenting system which leads to division of conversations)

My plugin is not needed. Do this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/remove-automatic-links-in-profile/#post-32749

Try this link to change it to the forums instead of the activity: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults#post-55449

I think you can turn on or off the reply button for forums in the BP admin, but they aren’t completely integrated that way. A reply in the activity won’t appear in the forum. So, that’s why it’s disabled by default (I think).

BP Media plugin – not sure if the plugin can do that already, but check it out.

Do not hijack threads please this practice is poor nettiquette. Problems may seem similar but often have different causes, having to answer two sets of questions in one thread can become confusing.

@tungjacob You have a highly customised theme, can you return to the Bp-default theme and test whether the issue is still apparent; also go to your permalink settings first and ensure that your .htaccess file is updating correctly by selecting an option and saving.

@jimboba much the same for you to; the lack of files is vague you either have the necessary BP files or not forget the lack of files for the moment BP wouldn’t be running if it were missing files. check whether you are able to update .htaccess file correctly

@bmunch Your suggestion (groups can be created only by users of a certain level) would be much easier to implement than true moderation of group creation. You’d just have to wrap some of the “create a group” elements in the UI in a `if ( current_user_can() )` check, and maybe add a few such checks at the top of some key group creation functions.

With real group moderation, a lot of admin overhead is required: a UI for admins to see pending/approved groups (Group Management doesn’t do that, but it could be a step in that direction, as BPGM has all the necessary hooks and filters); a notification system to let admins know when a group is pending; a notification system to let users know when their groups have been approved; the backend functions necessary to create and check a piece of group metadata saying whether the group has been approved. This could conceivably be accomplished with a plugin (though I can think of one or two places where additional filters would be required in BP’s core code), but it would take a lot of work. Maybe one of you is up for the job

You could hack together something like Lifestream fairly easily using https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/. There’s no interface for it yet, but the infrastructure is all there.

Jeff Sayre has said that he’ll be releasing his Privacy Component shortly after 1.2.6 is released.

The kind of rich tagging you’re talking about really isn’t possible at the moment. Only when BP’s core components are converted into WordPress content types (like custom post types) will they be able to easily inherit WP’s taxonomy functionality. I’m guessing that will happen in the BP 1.4 range. The good news is that, once it does, tagging/categorization will be totally seamless.

The social features of BuddyPress are in addition to, not in place of, the ‘posting’ features of WordPress. If you set up a WP site so that users can write and publish new blog posts, BuddyPress won’t change that.

@dorothysulzmann

You are now running two concurrent threads on the same subject, please don’t. Why have you not simply continued in the original thread? this practice causes confusion and wastes resources.

Did you actually try my half baked example? where did you get the example above from?

Please continue this in the original thread where my examples do work in the members loop

@bowromir if you have code to help can you post it to the thread I linked to above.

I’m using buddypress 1.2.5.2 (latest version) and wordpress 3.0.1(latest version).

What i’ve done so far: I’ve gone to ‘Profile Field Setup’ on the WordPress Dashboard under the Link ‘Buddypress’ and added the fields ‘Business Type’ with a drop down box of three options – DJs, Venue or Promoter. So when users register they choose one of these business types. I wanted these to show up on the members directory so put in to members-loop.php this code:

`<?php

//code inside the members-loop.php

$business_type= xprofile_get_field_data( “Business Type” ,bp_get_the_site_member_user_id());//fetch the text for business type

?>`

and i’ve tried:

“

Anyone have any idea where i’m going wrong?

@dorothysulzmann
Not sure I understand your statement ” can’t find anything to help”? what is you other thread about then? and if the help that you are getting in that thread isn’t working why haven’t you posted back to that thread.

We can’t magic up code for you we can help you in the right direction, we all have things like this we are trying to solve or work out sometimes it does take a bit of time to get there.

@katemgilbert

field_5 cannot be the field ID they are numeric so not sure where you have got that idea, did you simply copy an example from the codex loop page/

Read the thread I linked to, not necessarily the solution you are all after but should help. As for simply displaying a particular field it’s a relatively trivial matter and should be clear how in that thread.

Hi katemgilbert
I’m having the same issue and can’t find anything to help. I looked at: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/
and http://buddydev.com/buddypress/fetching-and-showing-only-specific-fields-from-buddypress-xprofile-data/ but none of them seem to be working for me. If you figure it out please post back. Cheers

@antonrsa Iv’e got the wpmu dev Content Monitor plug-in, have a look at the plug-in at their site ( http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/content-monitor ) and let me know if it could help you, though I would ask that if you modify the plug-in you release it to the respiratory.

It should be a good base to do what you want to do.

Hello all,
I use Digital Access Pass as a WP membership option and it is fantastic.
@drewmeyers, it does content drip like you mention and also easily integrates with Paypal.
I researched all the big ones and DAP wins hands down.

Check it out at http://digitalaccesspass.com

Drop me a line if you want to chat about it some more. I was in real estate for two years and
I’m curious what you have going on. DAP should work great for you.

I agree that all of those things would be awesome. In fact if Lifestream made their plugin compatible with BP that would be awesome!
