BuddyPress.org

@travel-junkie I’m desperately seeking a simple plugin which will allow a user to attach a PDF CV to their profile. How do the CV’s work in your plugin or do you know a way I can do this?
Thanks so much!

I just wanted to mention that adding the
#wp-admin-bar ul { margin-left: 0 !important; }
line of code to my stylesheet, killed the flyout menus on my custom buddypress admin bar links.. Just wanted to mention it here, as I couldn’t find it anywhere else on the next. so, basically, adding a 0 margin-left to wp-admin bar ul, will kill the fly out, sideways, sub-sub page, or grand child pages on the buddypress admin bar.

@christinarule : unfortunately, I don’t know how to set your links to include index.php, but confused why you would want that? Without the index.php will give you better search engine performance, as well as being more human readable

@john:

Your option 1 is a standard BuddyPress install structure. (although themainblog is probably better referred to as sitename)

Your second option is in two parts – nameofablog.sitename.com is again the standard BuddyPress / WP subdomain install.

buddypress.sitename.com/members/ does not fit in though. It would be http://www.themainblog.com/members as per your option 1.

Each blog can have their own theme. The BP admin bar can be shared across the top of all blogs, or removed on a blog by blog basis (a call in the blog’s template file – functions.php)

So, to summarise, the standard BP / WP subdomain install is:

http://www.sitename.com – the main blog
http://www.sitename.com/members (etc.) – the social network elements – profiles, directories, etc.
anotherblog.sitename.com – a member’s or other blog on the site

You can style the main blog pages to look different to the social network pages (although they are using the same theme: different template files / CSS, etc.)

Each additional blog can have it’s own completely independent theme

The admin bar can be shared across the top of all blogs

Hope that helps, Roger

I got it to work. Just download the zip file towards the end of the post and follow the instructions.

@Thorsten that also worked for me…
When using buddypress how do you change it so when you click on “my account”, or any link for that matter, it calls out http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php/groups/ Mine is still defaulting to http://www.yourdomain.com/groups/ even though I changed the permlink settings in my wordpress dashboard

@hnla

noted! Thank you! sorry about that!

HJi it keeps asking me for a new API key..any thouhts as to why?

@kunalb
I have a semi-virgin wp 3.0.1 multisite subdomain install of bp 1.2branch if you need somewhere to do further testing. Primarily I am just using it for testing gsoc projects on, so damaging it won’t matter. It’s a dedicated server, so you have the resources needed. Simply get me your email address if your interested and I’ll send over ftp and login info. (it’s the least I can do to help out)

@mercime: Someone just approved that comment. I’m not sure about the URL rerouting not working properly because I haven’t actually run it in a ms environment yet. I haven’t seen the maintenance mode plugin, will check that out.

I’ve repaired the calendar javascript — code not up yet, but will be along with other bug fixes soon.

Thanks for the feedback!

What about ? have you had any luck modifying that? it doesnt seem to respond to the same syntax as all the other tabs..

Stickies in the support group forums are broken and we have no way to super-sticky them at the very top of the main “Support” or “Community” pages.
When Boone gets a chance to tackle some of the site’s issues, I’ll propose this to him

I did start something on the current codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/

There’s also the old FAQ thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions/

BP codex ninja, @mercime, is working on restructuring the codex here as well:
http://namoo.co.uk/groups/bpcodex-redesign/wiki/

Needs some eyeballs so feel free to help mercime out.

@r-a-y: will give you that one!

Hope this helps

You might also want to check out the “Buddypress Sidebar” plugin: Create multiple sidebars, just name your new sidebar the same name as the Buddypress Component and it will show up when that component is displayed. So you can have separate sidebars for ‘Activity’, ‘Members’, ‘Groups’, etc. You can also name a sidebar the same name as any page and that sidebar will automatically show up on that page. Prefabricated sidebars include Home and Blog. The Blog sidebar will appear on single and archive blog pages.

try out the gpress plug-in, even though its features are a bit advanced for this, they are all/mostly optional and does what you need.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/gpress/

That should be the default BuddyPress activity stream. yoursite.com/activity

I found this fix and it appears to be working for me:

1. Open the index.php, save it to your theme as posts-page.php (or whatever template name you like).
2. Edit the newly created posts-page.php file and place the following at the top to create a page template:

`<?php
/*
Template Name: Posts Page
*/
?> `

3. Now scroll down in the posts-page.php to the beginning of the WordPress loop and just before the line “ add this one line of code “ Note: (5 == the number of post to show you can change this to whatever you want.)
4. Save the posts-page.php file.
5. In your WordPress/BuddyPress admin panel create a new page called “Blog” (or something similar) and select “Posts Page” under Template.
6. Publish page.

You should now be able to go to your Settings -> Reading menu and set a static page and select your Posts Page to show your blog posts.

@hnla

You’re absolutely right! I do tend to give answers rather than what I myself ask for: help to learn how to do it… preferably with a working example
Still working on the admin panel for my plugin, and I’m starting to get the hang of things (I think…).

@tubruk : As I said in my previous post… you’ll have to post your code (use pastebin.com) so that we can see where your problem might be.
