Actually, I did. She was wondering if there were more obvious solutions than what she could think of. Though she mentioned that the listed solution only works if you don’t ever have a different field name.
Attached is a screenshot of what I really was hoping BuddyPress would have, a standard Ning feature, which allows you to select ‘private’, so the answer will only be visible to you and other administrators: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. This is the ideal solution.
@ChrisClayton you are a genius, man !
It worked out of the box 
Quick question:
I’ve added your code to functions.php and it loaded perfectly, but I’d like to turn it into a function (so it’s a little less messy 
). What hook should I use ? (I mean which `add_action()` )
Thabk you so much again !
Hi guys,
I’m new with Buddypress, but I love it, it’s nice. Now, I wanna move the profile like a Widget, or only move it to another position.
@Dope-Sheet as was mentioned on another thread please start a new topic on your issue it’s not good forum nettiquette to tag onto other peoples unrelated posts.
Closing this thread.
@dope-sheet
Please start a new topic for new or different issues?
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/home/ is listed as incompatible with 1.5+ in Aug 2011 on https://codex.buddypress.org/releases/plugin-compatibility/ (although the error there is wrong) and doesn’t appear to have been recently upgraded
Can anyone tell us why this message appears after install in plugins>>>> Fatal error Call to undefined function bp_core_redirect() in /home/*******/public_html/*******wp-content/plugins/buddypress-private-community/mm-buddypress-private-community.php on line 386 ?? also crashes whole site…Thanks
Hey guys.
I am currently building a website which needs to utilise the points functionality of the Buddypress Achievements plugin (or cubepoints) and turn the points into a currency based system.
Users will place job offers or services in exchange for points (the amount of which can be defined by the “selling” user and accepted/declined by the “purchasing” user).
Points will be awarded upon paid registration of the website, successful transactions and can be purchased as an added bolt on if balance is running low.
I have a couple of ideas about where to begin with this. I was thinking modifying the friend request code, so that job offers can be proposed, accepted and declined, with the amount of points to transact being set by the proposer. The consumer would then have that amount of points deducted when the request is accepted, plus the friend notification could be used to notify the community that a transaction has taken place.
Would this be possible?
To add to that, when I use the normal/default BP template the groups section does display however the groups forums don’t display and are inaccessible via direct URL, clicking on new topic etc. doesn’t work either.
re: buddystream – brilliant, that should enable members of a BuddyPress use a phone to update stuff.
Many thanks Chris for your fulsome and prompt answer to my questions.
You’re welcome. And, you are right, my bad. I’ve corrected the code above. Do add the less than symbol “
Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
When I upgrade the BuddyPress this is the error I receive in the groups forum section:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function groups_total_forum_topic_count() in /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-template.php on line 157
Also, the gravatars in the members section also stop to display anymore. We’re using WordPress 3.1.2, I don’t want to upgrade WordPress due to compatibility issues with other things that are running.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
I am looking to add an Author Info Box to post pages on my website where the Author can add a short bio (from the About section of their Buddypress account) a link to their website if applicable and their Twitter.
I want this to look something like this: http://backpagefootball.com/premier-league/defending-david-de-gea/
Would anyone know of a plugin or how I can do this myself?
Firstly, As Modemlooper (the author of BP mobile) stated here
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/using-bp-content-api-to-create-an-iphone-app/
“BuddyPress has no API for external communication. It was created before the mobile scene took off and now apps have become the norm. You could load web pages in a native app that were optimized but it wouldn’t be 100% like a native app. You could also create your own json API.”
Secondly, since when has StatusNet supported SMS’? SMS’ are very difficult to do and will need to be done on a site-by-site basis by yourself… it really is impossible to do properly as an opensource thing as you will need to have mobile address’ in all sorts of weird countries and some way to distinguish between sites.
eg. i sms 0445493509485 with what i’m doing, but where does it go? I cant see how sms would work in an opensource project. Even twitter has trouble supporting every carrier…
RE “StatusNet (and kin) has excellent client support – could it be used as a middleware to BP? Or could Twitter be used?”
Nothings around for statusnet, is their license even compatible with wordpress’ gpl? but you could use twitter via https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddystream/
Oh. Ha. That’s what I get for staying up too late last night. But yes, it is http://thereisnoeasterbunny.com. Thanks @mercime!
(and sorry if that news made anyone cry!)
This isn’t really a question for BP, Users and DB is WP stuff; BP just rides on the back of so to speak.
I have run across sites that have a user base running into the tens of thousands so I don’t think there is a huge issue, but check over on WP support.
We’re evaluating for a social network site, but confess to having fallen for BuddyPress.
Status updates on the move is a must, however.
It need not be the full iOS app that is hovering in the wings, and besides it needs to be Android and everything else as well.
I know that WordPress blog posts can be created by email – can buddypress status updates also?
Better if it can be updated by SMS (a more ubiquitous client)?
StatusNet (and kin) has excellent client support – could it be used as a middleware to BP?
Or could Twitter be used?
Buddy Press Mobile theme plugin seems to be dead – is there a replacement?
We have no real development skills/time but do have lego-building skills and patience
Wordpress / BuddyPress latest stable versions (unless otherwise directed).
Lastly please accept apologies if this has already been discussed – entering any terms in the search bar at the top seems to land me back on the blog page.
Here’s the code I used; It worked somehwat, but was giving me the same view count for each topic post. I got the sense that buddypress topics all have the same post id… that’s probably why it was giving me the same count for all… any thoughts?
THIS WENT IN FUNCTIONS.PHP
function getPostViews($postID){
$count_key = ‘post_views_count’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
return “0 View”;
}
return $count.’ Views’;
}
function setPostViews($postID) {
$count_key = ‘post_views_count’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
$count = 0;
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
}else{
$count++;
update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
}
}
THIS WENT IN THE INDIVIDUAL FORUM-TOPIC FILE
Note that I put open/close bracket for triangular brackets:
open bracket
?php
setPostViews(get_the_ID());
?
close bracket
AND THIS GOES WHERE I WANT THE NUMBER OF VIEWS TO SHOW:
open bracket
?php
echo getPostViews(get_the_ID());
?
close bracket
I have a client that is looking to setup a social network and they are worried about the scalability of BuddyPress. They don’t want to have to make changes to the database once they reach a certain number of users.
Is this something we need to worry about?
Hi,
We just reinstalled Buddypress on a MS platform and I’ve just noticed that if I sign-in from a subsite front page (in this case from here: http://www.networkit.com/tvhra ) , (I’m the SuperAdmin on the website) – I’m immediately taken into that subsite’s dashboard instead of the front – public viewable portion of the website. Can anyone tell me what it’s doing this? I’ve not seen this behavior before. Thank you.
Okay, something else I just noticed.
If I go into BuddyPress in the Dashboard, and go to Pages, I can individually click view on each option and I can see the pages. They build fine.
I cannot get my buddy press header links to work. I.E. Going to My Account>Activity or My Account>Profile. Those pages end up white.
Bump. I need help with this. Right now buddypress is broken on the site and I want to get it back up and running.
Hi, apart from using the “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” plugin, which I couldn’t get working, is there a simple way to just disable this feature? Many thanks
Oh, I found on the plugins page, under Network, buddypress listed there
