BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I’m new to Buddypress, and am still getting my head around it so please bear with me

I’ve created a child theme based on the instructions on this website and I’m trying to include the status update option for when users log in onto the home page, I pasted in the following code:

locate_template( array( ‘activity/post-form.php’), true );

Problem is I only want it to post to profile, how do I exclude posting updates to groups?

Thanks!

I am using ifeature 4 pro which i really like the layout of. I had Mingle installed and it worked fine but did not offer me as much as buddypress does. Now I need to get all the pages to look the same. I uploaded the pack to adjust an existing theme but not sure where to go from here, I have read the instructions and still having problems. http://www.indyowls.com. I have not adjusted the menu yet since I can not get the pages correct. Help!

By the default, we will see the forum trees when go to bbPress. How to make the forum page display the lastest topics, just like this BuddyPress.org?

Hi,
I have two problems (still trying to set up the site, so there might be more in the future – but right now I have two).

1) The url to my forum is really wierd: http://www.dethuletrae.dk/forums/forum/forum-2/
I think I’ve understood some of it. The “forum-2” must be because I called the first forum I made for “forum” and it might have thought “hey there, that already exists, we can’t have that” and added the “2”.
So if I make another forum (or change the name/url of this one) it would look something like /forums/forum/newname.
But the two first ones annoys me. When you activate buddypress and assign pages, I created a new page named “forum” (with the same link, aka: http://www.dethuletrae.dk/forum/) and assigned that page to the forum option in the buddypress settings.
So where does the “/forums/” come from? And is the “/forum/” after it due to the page I created or does it come from somewhere else? Can I somehow delete the plural form, so the link isn’t so darn long and repetetive?

And this leads me to problem two.
2) Due to my theory about the second “/forum/” being from the page I created, I’ve tried to change that – both in title and url – but nothing changes. New forums still have the /forums/forum/ part before the name of the newly created forum.
So, if the second “/forum/” is from the page I created to start with, then why won’t it update the link to the forum?

Also, kind of a third point.
3) I saw someone in another post mentioning: define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_ROOT_PROFILES’, true ); in bp-custom.php to make a shorter link to userprofiles. Can you do that with the forum link as well? (That could be a quick fix I assume – if it’s possible.)

Sincerely,
Erica

I was hoping someone can explain the difference to me between the different menus and pages in buddypress. For Example when I install buddypress it creates certain pages for me that I can pull into my main menu, one of theses pages is the activity page. (www.site.com/activity) However there seems to be another activity page in the menu under the member’s profile (www.site.com/members/name/activity) What is the difference between the two. I notice that the menu under the members name also has a submenu (personal, mentions, favorites, friends, groups) How to I gain access to this menu so I can style it and use it in other areas?

Thanks

Hello, I have a phpBB forum (3.0.10) running for years with many members and existing discussions. Now I want to move from phpBB to the build-in forum of BuddyPress. I have been searching for this but no approriate solution.

There is an article about migrating from phpBB to bbPress http://wpmu.org/how-to-migrate-a-phpbb-forum-to-wordpress-and-bbpress/ . This seems to work well. So I am thinking about convert from phpBB >>>bbPress >>> BuddyPress . But I wonder if there is any way to convert from bbPress to BuddyPress? As I know, BuddyPress us bbPress as an build-in forum and there is no option to move from bbPress from BuddyPress by nature….

Please any suggestion for me? Thank you in advance,
