BuddyPress.org

@nuprn1, i’m using your filters above but noticed when mixing php & css in the same forum post, the css code messed up.
changing
add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, array(&$this, ‘parse_shortcodes’), 7 );
to
add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_content’, array(&$this, ‘parse_shortcodes_comment’), 7 );
fixed the issue.

Other than that, did you ever figure how to get it working on the activity stream?

This has been asked on the plugin developer’s blog, and this was his answer:
“Regarding users uploading their own avatars, the way it’s setup now is for Facebook avatars to take precedence over Buddypress avatars for users who connect with this plugin. You can of course eliminate this entirely, but if you wanted to allow users to choose to use their FB avatar or their BP avatar on an individual basis, it would require additional coding (to add such an option to the user profile pages). This isn’t a feature I intend to add though, so if you want it I’m afraid the ball’s in your court “

I’m building a private community network in the company I work for. I could really use some settings in Buddypress where I can order the members alphabetic by there real Last names.

I use this plugin: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-bp-gallery-rc4-for-buddypress-time-to-get-stable-in-next-week-now/

It’s great – but not free, you need a subscription to the site (one month will do – and then you can download all their plugins)

People who try to register on my buddypress install at http://our.windowfarms.org suffer from the exact same problem

@nuprn1 is half right! bp_groups_random_selection() is from BuddyPress 1.0?, the function had been deprecated (https://svn.buddypress.org/branches/1.1/bp-groups/deprecated/bp-groups-deprecated.php) in 1.1 and is now removed from 1.2.

Replace it with:
bp_has_groups( ‘type=random’ )

@alanchrishughes: Me too, lol!

I pastebinned this for you. Might work, might not. It’s only a link for the “Activity” page. I’m not sure how you’d go about coding the menu that appears to the side of it (the one with “Personal”, “Friends”, “Groups”, etc.), but at least this may give you a start

Are you looking at “Pages” in the wp-admin? BuddyPress doesn’t add anything there.

Also, let us know which theme you’re using.

Only on one blog, though it will aggregate user registrations and blog/comments posts from across the entire site (unless you disable that option).

@justbishop the <?php things right? I really am a newb when it comes to php

@alanchrishughes: Yep, I use the following in member-header.php on my site for the link to the feedback posts (which are titled with the @user name of each member):

href=”http://www.clothunderground.com/feedback/bp_displayed_user_username();/” title=”View or leave feedback for this user”

Worth a try!

ETA: of course, you’d need the php open/close pieces around that bp_displayed_user_username(); tag

@justbishop Are you saying it might be possible to write something like

a href= members/bp_displayed_user_username()/profile/change-avatar

While a plugin would be ideal, have you considered just using a script and a DIV block inserted into the header.php file of your theme? I use a jquery banner script – http://www.mclelun.com/blog/2010/01/jquery-rotating-banner/ – on one site. It just cycles through four banners, each with links. BuddyPress already has jQuery in place, so I think it should work if you follow the guidance on the page re. the banner. Yes, it’s a quick and dirty solution – with no clever tracking within the site, but it is at least a solution!

Some emails are being sent with links to buddypress but others – hotmail one, was logged into wordpress profile page…

Has she not updated this in the mean time? I’m using the latest version on a BP install and it all works great (I’ve changed it’s presentation a lot).

wp3 sends new registration password emails without problem on bluehost – simplescripts or manual setup… until buddypress is installed. It then stops.
Problems with such a fundamental part of the software doesnt bode well for buddypress – Im starting to think it was better to just cough up the money to Ning.com and save the stress, grey hairs and months of leisure time likely lost.

Will try the mail from plugin but if other long roundabout fixes are required to send an email friom buddypress its not worth the trouble.

looks like a theme issue as that function is not part of the buddypress core

This is also happening to me. Seems like registering in the BP form isnt working. I also got the latest versions of WP and BP
