BuddyPress.org

A quick search with the proper terms will bring up a number of options. This post in this thread should help. Once my BuddyPress Privacy Component is out in the wild, you will be able to easily do this with a simple radio button selection in the Site Admin menu of the component.

Did you try searching the community?

This thread might be worth you reading , it will allow you to make the site completely private to all but registered logged in users, or a variation on ‘All’ if you wanted to show certain pages.

Did you not look through the Community > Groups section?

@mikey3d did you follow point 2 that Roger explained above? there is no ‘Patch’ as such only what we( the community) can run up given the spare time. tbh this is something I would have not been too concerned with and awaited a core patch in a future release (I have suggested a core patch to address the problem, but that will probably be applied in 1.3 – too late to get in to 1.2.6)

If you want you can try this quick fix I’ve run up by exacting the relevant section from the core function and applying it as a filter in functions.php – it’s not widely tested and slightly hackish but appears to work:

`function bp_page_title_blog_category_remove_hyphens( $title ) {
global $bp, $wp_query;
if ( defined( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’ ) ) {
$blog_title = get_blog_option( $current_blog->blog_id, ‘blogname’ );
} else {
$blog_title = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, ‘blogname’ );
}
if ( bp_is_blog_page() && is_category() )
$title = __( $blog_title . ‘| Blog | Categories | ‘ . ucwords( $wp_query->query_vars ), ‘buddypress’ );
$title = str_replace(‘-‘, ‘ ‘, $title);
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_page_title’, ‘bp_page_title_blog_category_remove_hyphens’ );
`

Let us know if that works for you?

@sophiew I’ve edited your post to add backticks for code display.

I would be inclined to heed Rogers advice though, if you are inexperienced with the basics of HTML markup and PHP scripting then modifying a theme is going to prove tricky.

Maybe this could help

Hi Guys!
It seems it’s a problem with the ‘mod_rewrite’ function under Windows, see

Hey, I’m the author of the minimum password length plugin and I just noticed this thread. I looked at the code from the password strength meter from the OP link and it appears that it’s only checking the password length. Is that what you’re looking for, or did you want to make people use non-alpha characters etc?

The best solution for this would likely be to utilize the existing password strength meter built into WordPress. If I remember correctly, there’s even a JavaScript library that could be queued from core that would do most of the heavy lifting. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see how hard it would be to add that to the BuddyPress profile page (and maybe have an option to force people to use strong passwords too). I’ve had limited experience with BuddyPress though, so we’ll see how far I get

@seocostarica Check out EventPress – http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/eventpress/
the bp-events plugin is good to BP 1.1.3 only. Here’s another BP 1.2 compatible Events plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/

As @Modemlooper wrote, h-mag.com events is a customized system per creator

@sophiew – you can use backticks around your code to make it show up in the thread.

It’s probably not a good idea to try and rework your theme if you are newbie to HTML. They can be reasonably complicated, and also require some PHP knowledge if you are making substantial mods.

Learning on the job is a decent approach, but an HTML primer first might be a good idea. If you want to get started straightaway, I’d suggest switching to the BuddyPress default theme and working from there.. A child theme from the default will be a lot less code changing for you.

– Backup database and server files regularly, especially before any BuddyPress or WordPress upgrade
– Set up and maintain test installation/s which mirror/s live site/s. That’s where I check out all plugins and upgrades first before installing in live site. No rush to upgrade BP or WP install unless it’s a security release. Still, better to test first.
– Check out WordPress and BuddyPress forums for red flags re upgrades, plugins, etc.

@DJPaul I was wondering how do you get paged caches to work with users logging in, I can’t seem to login with page cache. I do a lot of custom queries and display, is page cache important for that?

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile.php where you can see calls to different parts of profile page lines 13, 16, 19
Line#19 – https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.5.2/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php

You can change style in either 3 ways: a) tweak css only; b) customize BP files; and c) tweak css and customize files. Tweaking CSS is the easiest way. Customizing php file is more intensive. Install Firebug add-on for Firefox to help you find hooks to change layout/colours via CSS.

@TedMann

I think someone more knowledgeable about things .htaccess could better answer that question. I’m really still learning about all this stuff myself.

About your other idea though… now that could be brilliantly simple! It could sure put one heck of a damper on the efforts of human sploggers who are, if their activities are any indicator, a lazy bunch. Only thing is, it wouldn’t do much for those bots who manage to squeeze through whatever “backdoor” they happen to find (or make).

Anyone want to take on a little “Avatar Required” plugin challenge here?

@tubruk – this is known issue – take a look at this thread (it covers blog comments and forum responses in the activity stream): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/replying-to-blog-post-in-the-activity-stream-as-post-comments-rather-than-just-activity-stream-replies/

and for a simple solution from @nuprn1: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/clarification-needed-on-posting-forum-replies/

@pcwriter It’s weird. I tried a proxy server, and was still able to get to the signup page by typing in the url, which leads me to believe the htaccess change isn’t taking right. Is there anything that could be interfering?

I had another anti-spam idea: Would there be a way to require a user to have an avatar? What I’ve noticed is that all the spam signups have no avatars. Wondering if making that essentially the same as required profile fields would help.

@psycolor: public group activities (e.g. joining a group, creating a group, posting updates) should appear in the standard activity stream. Which activities are not showing for you?

To hide private group activity from the activity stream – follow the instructions I gave for excluding blogs in this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/need-exclude-parameter-for-bp_has_activities/

Check whether the activity item action is group related, then use the primary id of the item to get the group_id, and then check whether it is one of your private groups.

As per my comment on blogs, you can do this for all activity loops by using the filter, or on a loop by loop basis.

@psycolor: the existing documentation on customising the activity loop can be found here: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

I am using latest wordpress 3.0.1 and default twentyten child theme and all i did was transfer folders using buddypress theme pack and go in menu and create a custom menu and use it as primary menu add all the pages in menu and than create custom links for buddypress like for /activity /members/ /forums and so on and they work fine.
