BuddyPress.org

Works great, just have to remember to comment out the end if too… Thanks.

@Pisanojm I think multisite is a issue because i only test it on my wpmu environment. I will look at it.

@hnla
My buddypress is installed in my plug in folder… just like it said to do….

the thing that is weird to me is I’ll set my perma links back to the default… everything will work fine…EXCEPT my buddypress…but if I take that same url and just add an index.php in front of the buddypress url it works…. so weird… should i install my buddypress elsewhere? When i set my perma links to the default it says in my dashboard “buddypress is almost ready you just need to change your perma links to anything but the default”

@Bonlu – make sure you have WordPress set up for multisite: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Then take a look at the recent site wide posts widget (in your wp-admin backend: appearance… widgets)

You need to develop your child theme so that it allows for the widget to be embedded on the home page, or take a look at the code in the widget and implement your own version in your home page template;

Developing your own child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Just create a child theme: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Then, you’ll want to overwrite the header.php file on line 79. Here’s the documentation for the wp_list_pages: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_pages the exclude parameter should work for you. If you don’t know the pages’ id, you can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-show-ids/

Sounds like you can do pretty much everything you want to do with 2 themes. One theme would be for the main site. The second theme would apply to all the subsites. With the theme you’ll be able to add links for users on the subsite to go to the main sites forum. In fact, with the theme on the subsite you can do incorporate whichever BuddyPress features you want them to have visible. You can either modify an existing theme or create a child theme from the default one: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Depending on if you want the forums to be part of groups or not, you may want to investigate doing a stand alone install of bbpress or some of the global forum plugins I’ve seen mentioned.

@rogercoathup I’ve added you to my BuddyPress Twitter list. I’d be happy to add anyone else that’s interested and tweets about BuddyPress.

@adiljaved – yes, each individual having their own blog is a standard BuddyPress setup.

You’ll need to install WordPress 3.0 and configure it for multisite: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

Then install the BuddyPress plugin (from the plugins menu), and it’s as simple as that. You’ll have a default installation, default theme, and the ability for each individual to have their own blog.

Ask the hosting question separately – there are lots of possibilities (we use hostnine – a US company with servers in a few countries). Type of server you need will depend on the amount of traffic you get to your site.

To detect if you’re on a WP page use:
if ( bp_is_blog_page() )

Vice versa, to detect if you’re on a BuddyPress page, use:
if ( !bp_is_blog_page() )

There are some things like the activity front page that you’ll need to add to your conditional, but that’s to get you started.

All conditionals can be found in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php and on this codex page (might need updating):
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/

@pisanojm – I don’t have control with how plugin groups are created.

@johnjamesjacoby might be able to figure out why the BuddyPress Badge group isn’t being created:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-badge/

@zamoose – you can use the function: bp_current_component() that returns a boolean

To detect specific pages, you can use bp_is_page() as @modemlooper points out. Use it like this:

bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG )
bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG )

Other functions (look in bp-core-templatetags.php) include:

bp_is_activity_front_page()
bp_is_activity_component()
bp_is_directory()
bp_is_home()
…
etc.

there are lots of them

Yes, I don’t know why the job board was taken down, nor why the forum threads get locked (almost crusade like). If the threads are locked they quickly disappear off the front page, so are never seen by the vast majority. It’s a really valuable service for more than a few BuddyPress users and developers.

We’ve resorted to posting in our status about opportunities. It’s frustrating, we have some great opportunities to augment our BuddyPress development team, but no way to advertise them effectively.

@techguy – please add us to your list on twitter (@21inspired)

Or at least supply us with a little more of a detailed explanation of what’s happening ‘Help’?

Then change those permissions!

It seems that most people have just posted the jobs in the forums. I think there use to be a place, but if I remember right it’s gone or not functioning now.

Once you post the job, the mods will usually lock your thread. I’d reach out to some developers too. There easy to find on twitter. Here’s a Twitter list I’ve started of BuddyPress peeps: http://twitter.com/#/list/techguy/buddypress

@Pisanojm Thanks for the result, It save badge image in the wrong path it sould be http://yoursite/wp-content/blogs.dir/2/files/badge/3.png

i will install new wp3.0 if get the same result i will fix it but if not i have to ask more information from you.

How about just adding the activity, group, and forums folder to your mobile theme…. wouldn’t that work?

if ( bp_is_page( ) :
