@pcwriter, congratulations! Will be checking this out.
Cheers.
it show up here in buddypress.com but not in my installation ….
what should I do ….
Hey, I’ve tried incorporating this into my site, but i realized there is no way for a user to delete the data since it does nothing if the fields are empty. Is this related to lack of ability to populate fields? I’m wondering how you approached this? @nit3watch
If I remember correctly @mention does appear for blog comments, just not on blog posts. I agree, that functionality would be nice and makes sense since it works for all other aspects of a BP-enabled site. There’s a trac ticket for this: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2380
@hnla Well now, great progress!
I remember writing at some point that it’s often the most obvious that escapes me… Turns out I hadn’t “actually” selected any files to upload to subversion… I was just going through the motions and clicking buttons (doh!). The first version of the plugin is up and I just updated it with a whole bunch of cool new stuff. Code here: http://pastebin.com/Qquwe9pH
Thanks to your examples, I created 3 new custom configuration options: in addition to hide/show the main nav, users can now choose to hide/show the site name/logo, the Login/Signup links, and the Visit Random dropdown. I’ve also completely revamped the readme with a detailed FAQ, and added a fully commented stylesheet with the rules I use for my site to help get folks started on customizing their new admin/navbar.
Thanks a whole bunch for your invaluable help and instruction on this project! I can now say I’ve popped my plugin cherry! 
Now we just have to wait for subversion to update………
Thanks. I guess I did something wrong from the get-go. I installed buddypress as a plugin on a regular wordpress installation. That’s not recommended?
The same thing happened here.
The error in Chrome:

@r-a-y
for this line include_once( WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/themes/YOURTHEME/bp-activity-group-feed.php’ );
shouuld the directory be “plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/’ ? Also does it matter that i am running it on snipbids.com/network and not snipbids.com?
Which functions.php file do I edit? The bp-default one correct? So I add the code you sent there and edit the line above?
Do I edit bp-activity-group-feed.php or make a copy of it and put it in my bp-defualt folder and make the edits there and keep the original?
I got an error and my whole site went down so i reverted to the original
Thanks
@techguy
creating a whole new “child theme” vs.. ONE LINE of httaccess
seems like an easier choice to just add that one line of httaccess
From my experience with s2member you have to have the PayPal buttons first, have them pay. Then after they pay on PayPal they are redirected to a registration page where you can have them fill out all the forms. I don’t believe you can do it the other way around with s2member. Although, they’ve created some really advanced scripting that might make it possible, but by default the order is as I describe above. I’m guessing it would be hard to change.
I’ve actually done as you describe on http://www.givingsports.com I basically just redirect the user after the signup is complete to a credit card page where I collect the money. Then, after collecting the money I redirect them to a Thank You page which lists all the things they can do on the site. However, I had to do a custom integration with a merchant processor (BrainTree) in my case to make it happen. If my site bombs, maybe I’ll make it into a plugin;-)
Edit: Iv’e come right 
using the last method ( thanks r-a-y for all your halp..again <img src="smileys/heart.gif" width="" height="" alt="<3" title=" )
@r-a-y Ive gotten the value’s to save an an array, example from my db: a:2:{i:0;s:3:”one”;i:1;s:3:”two”;}
Now I take it I have to use steralize, while Im reading up on that.. have I used in_array correctly as Im finding info hard to come by?
$group_card = groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'gcard_group_card' );
if (in_array($group_card == 'one')){
$group_card = gcard_one();
}
if (in_array($group_card == 'two')){
$group_card = gcard_two();
}
return apply_filters( 'gcard_get_group_card', $group_card );
}
or should it look more like:
if(in_array("one",$group_card)){
echo gcard_one();
}
Can somebody help me with this nicenames business, too? I’m working on the username/displayname oddity I’ve already been chatting with @r-a-y about (re: the username only plugin) and have presently disabled his plugin and added this to my bp-custom.php:
Example 1
Well that’s lovely at various points across my site, but it doesn’t add the title info to links in, for example, the members directory. (Perhaps I should’ve more deeply investigated using your plugin as a base point, r-a-y!) So now I’m messing with the file members-loop.php, but the file bp-core-templatetags doesn’t have anything to handle whether BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE is set, and consequently I’m not sure whether to request bp_member_user_nicename() or bp_member_user_login(). (as in: Example 2).
Obviously, as I’m currently set up, I know that I actually need to do the nicename thing, but on a more abstract level, what should I be doing? I see there’s a filter in function bp_get_member_user_login() I might be able to monkey around with, but as it’s only passed $members_template->member->user_login, I’m not sure that’d work (or, ignorant question, is a global variable really that global?).
I’m a bit over my head, in case that’s not already really obvious.
Would the best solution involve disabling these nicenames, whatever exactly they are? ( @r-a-y, I see the comment you pulled out of the WP code, but it doesn’t *mean* a lot to me. In my case, I’m not actually even sure how the two got set up, since I didn’t do the initial install of WP on my site. I just know the administrator comes over as [at]admin but with a login of cltgeeks, and I’ve sussed out that admin is evidently the nicename.)
I’m having the same issue. Any information would be appreciated.
Definitely do what @hnla suggested and deactivate all of your BuddyPress related plugins 1st before upgrading.
@JJJ
Isn’t this almost exactly what you proposed yourself a number of months ago? I seem to remember reading a track ticket or something on this exact same concept. Curious if anything ever happened with this idea.
I had a problem with a xxxxxx[at]live.com address–as @liveview said, it never appeared in the junk folder even. But then I had no problem with a xxxxxx[at]hotmail.com address a few days later. So it’s not even entirely consistent for me. I have yet to create more accounts to do further testing.
Oh yes, favicon, one thing is forgotten. Now it’s added.
Thank you, @Nit3watch, had warned me.
@r-a-y last thing, Ive changed my mind a bit when it comes to the options. How could I get it to check the values seperated by a ,
Say the db field ready: one,two
The thing is it might read “one,three” or “two,four” so there should be a way for it to check separating it by a comma? Other wise I would have to type out all the instances that might occur..
// check which option is in the db
$group_card = groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'gcard_group_card' );
if ($group_card == 'one'){
$group_card = gcard_one();
}
if ($group_card == 'two'){
$group_card = gcard_two();
}
return apply_filters( 'gcard_get_group_card', $group_card );
}
Me too My issue remains the same.. I installed “Mail From” Plug in that solved the problem of sending the emails in the first place.
but the big problem are hotmail.. doing EVERYTHING I couldn’t get through their SmartScan Security.. “Or so as I was told in another blog” BuddyPress should really make a solution to this or at least specify the cause if it’s not related to BuddyPress..
it can me due to usage of free domains? that are listed at Microsoft’s BlackList? That can be my only conclusion.
@dinoraptor101 this thread is a year and 7 months old, generally old threads aren’t resurrected can you start a new post for any issues you are having.
fwiw if email servers are rejecting out of hand you need to check your mail delivery notification for error codes that should tell you why, if no failed delivery notifications then you’re doing something else wrong, however this is not necessarily a WP/BP problem unless you can establish that absolutely no emails leave the server.
Also check whether you have a SPF record issue – the likes of Hotmail will probably/possibly have implemented this policy.
@BurtAdsit This is confirmed fact that Microsoft denies some emails even from getting into the junk??
I have run several tests for the past 14 hours, and Yes hotmail/live/windowslive//msn all do not recieve activation..
Now how do I MAKE them get it in that case?? Anyways you people know?? Should I set the email address I use to send as ( something @hotmail.com ) or is there a work around?
I’ve got this too – any resolution?
Assuming you answered an implicit affirmative to Paul’s question about editing the correct file, did you restart your Apache? server for the changes to take effect (apologies if teaching grandmother to suck eggs )
Same Problem! Use BP 1.2.5.2 on WP 3.0.1–de_DE and times before i tested the plugin “User Role Editor” from Vladimir Garagulya. Perhaps the settings overwrite the permissions for the admin. Does anybody know how to reset the settings by default (not posibile over plugin, theres a funktion for it but do not work for me) or have an SQL screen with the default settings?
Thank you!
