@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.

@Mark: What kind of folder structure do you have? I had to do some trickery to pick up theme files from the plugin itself, without copy/pasting anything, and that seems to be causing a problem on your install.

@r-a-y: I’m not sure this fix will work for Tatiana. I think she’s wanting to show the whole post (rather than the excerpt) in the activity stream, and make sure that formatting (paragraph breaks) is maintained. The posts are are poems, and many have an image at the top.

Her problem, is that posts over a certain length are automatically shown just as text excerpts, with all the breaks gone (although a thumbnail image is still preserved.. see other thread).

Using the excerpt would, without removing filters, lose the images and the paragraph breaks.

Any update on this
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-maps/

Definitely add this as an enhancement ticket on Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

You can manually add a member avatar to your avatar directory.

eg.
example.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/USER_ID/hldkfhlaskjhdfljsdfdf-bpfull.jpg
example.com/wp-content/uploads/avatars/USER_ID/hldkfhlaskjhdfljsdfdf-bpthumb.jpg

The suffixes are important as BP will pick up any image with the “-bpfull.jpg” suffix or the “-bpthumb.jpg” suffix.

If you only have to do this once, then this is sufficient.

If you want to replace all the member avatars with a default one, try reading this:

What happens when you use the default BuddyPress theme?

Does the “Join Group” link work then?

Read this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/installing-buddypress/forum/topic/how-much-php-memory-should-be-allocated-to-buddypress/

Did you pass parameters into the messages_new_message() function?

All the parameters can be found in the /plugins/buddypress/bp-messages.php file like Boone stated.

Private messages are disabled on this website at the moment due to spam. However, on a regular install, simply navigate to the “My Account” menu in the BuddyPress admin bar (located at the top) and navigate to “Messages”.

I’ve got the same issue as @Whyameye and PeD

I’ve followed all guides (including @sandra1010 last post) but still cannot create an event – there’s no option anywhere – am I missing something?

This only applies to blog posts FYI.

@nit3watch – Awesome, it worked, in the sidebar.php in the bp-default I copied the code from line 3 to line 74.. and pasted it into a sidebar widget utilizing the “Executable PHP widget” wordpress plugin, and it works like a charm!

@hnla, yes you are correct… I am using a custom built theme and needed to incorporate buddypress so users can login/register via the front end and manage their profile via the frontend…. it is the only features I am using from buddypress because no other plugin I could find had similar functionality. It gets the job done though, and I like it .

I followed the steps in the template-pack plugin to get it working with my theme, it was pretty smooth and straightforward and I haven’t experienced the overlapping issues stated in the notices. so all is good.

I knew there would be some customizations needed that have to be done manually, I just couldn’t find it in the documentation or via forum searches. I had no idea about the bp-default folder, but now that I do.. I am sure i will be able to solve some of my other problems

cheers!

okay @rogercoathup now it works but only for the field about me…

I’ve got another field and tried it it doesnt work??
my about me field is an textarea I’ve created something like it it didnt worked

@lunakm: rather than modifying the core code, which will need changing every time BP is upgraded, you might be better trying to do it as a filter.

I suspect the filter you’d want to work with is bp_core_fetch_avatar_url. Try hooking a function onto this (in your bp-custom.php file) that appends the &r=x to the url.

It might be worth raising it as an enhancement request for future BP releases, to give more control over the parameters that can be passed to Gravatar.

Cheers, Roger

@Tatiana – I have already opened another thread for this image problem, cheers, Roger:

I know @justbishop has setup something like this on here site. (a la ebay sellers)

I am using the BP-Wire plugin that @mercime mentioned and also some other customizations for user to user interaction on my sites.

Please note that your Ning export may be corrupted. Your LOCAL JSON file should be the same size as its sister file. According to Boone Gorges, the creator of the Ning to BuddyPress Importer, you can rename your -non-local file to LOCAL, as all the content in both should relatively be the same, with the following caveat:

“-local.json files in the Ning export should be more or less identical to the non-local files, except that the local ones have relative links, which is especially relevant for inline images (which are stored in the /discussions/ directory).”

The plug-in searches first for the “ning-discussions-local.json” file. If that is corrupted, then the process will not complete. Boone said that he could change it, but that would mean having to do a search and replace in mysql of the path set by the export.

‘Home’ or ‘Index’ are two very accepted conventions in web sites denoting as they do the domain site root or initial main page, I doubt you will gain much in SEO terms from changing them, often there is too much emphasis placed on suppossed SEO enhancements.

However if you must di it then read through this page for a better understanding oof the approaches you could take:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

But yes you could change the string as seen in the main header.php nav
