BuddyPress.org

@pcwriter the link http://pastebin.com/mpizkJXq does not working

If you want them to pay to get to that member page, try the s2member plugin. If you want them just to register (for free), then I think this is the thread with a bunch of possible solutions: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-private-community/

As far as the MP3 player, I don’t know, but I’m sure there are a ton of options. In this case, it wouldn’t need to be BuddyPress specific at all. Just search for an MP3 player that works with a webpage and it can be added to the WordPress page. There might even be a WordPress plugin that does this already.

Does child-theming of the BP Default theme (which resides in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes) will work if I put the child theme in wp-content/themes?

Because if I update buddypress plugin with the wordpress update function … all templates in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes will be deleted before the new version will bei installed!

cu, guido

Jeff talked about it a bit at the dev chat. He’s still waiting for a few patches to the core to be able to release the plugin. I think his intent was to have the patches for the core done this weekend for the .6 release that should come out later next week (if all goes well). Or maybe that’s the intent I am hoping @jeffsayre will have.

I bet dropping a donation on Jeff’s page wouldn’t hurt to move things along either: http://jeffsayre.com/

Not sure about that one, have a vaugish idea but it’s probably better asked of @r-a-y or @djpaul or one of the others

The style sheet is a file that basically makes your site look pretty–it’s what controls the layout and the colors and the fonts and all that stuff. It sounds like you somehow downloaded and installed a corrupt version (or at any rate an incomplete version) of BuddyPress that was missing the style.css file.

If you did an automatic install through WordPress, I’d first try just uninstalling and reinstalling BuddyPress and see if that works. Otherwise, you’ll want to look through the files installed on your webhost for a file in your BuddyPress folder called something like style.css (at any rate, it’ll end with .css). If it’s not there, you’d need to add it. I can tell you more about how to do that, if you need, but try the automatic uninstall and reinstall first.

but dont solved my problem with this!!

@djpaul
Paul I locked this thread as it was a duplicate as I made note of. I responded to the other here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/setting-up-access-to-admin-correctly-for-a-bp-network-site/

Hello. Is this plugin aliver? I sure could use it? Or is there any other plugin out there that makes the same stuff happen! Need that 0-1 security for members and not members for one of my pages on my site!

1. Was this with or without buddypress active?
2. All users will be able to see wp-admin, but some parts more than others. Are you 100% that what your Admin account sees in wp-admin and what one of these users see are identical?

A child theme lives in its own directory, and inherits any files not presenting the child theme, from its parent theme. So what you would do is create a child theme of BP Default and copy into your child theme, BP Default’s header.php (for example – what you want may be on another page) and customise it. You’ll only have to worry about updating it in the future if BP Default itself is updated (probably not for a couple of months, at least).

here is some code for removing activity reply comments from non-logged in users
http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-hide-activity-updates-andor-replies-by-types-for-non-logged-visitors-in-users/#topic

not sure about blog comments – different template (and depending if MS)

Until we fragment cache the bp-default template, this could be an issue in a few places. The way we combated it on testbp.org is to set the cache to refresh every 5 minutes. Not perfect, but it works for now.

Looking at your site, do you have it caching for logged in users also? Obviously a majority of your traffic with BuddyPress is from logged in users, but all of the activity based bits are hard to cache dynamically until we can tell w3tc which parts to cache, and which are activity sensitive and to skip.

Try https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I created my own child theme for Buddypress following those instructions.

I’ve just experienced this and have come up with a fix:

function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
global $bp;

if ( is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

$redirecturl = $bp->root_domain . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode( $bp->root_domain ) . esc_url( $_SERVER );
echo '
' . __( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ) . '

';

// Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) {
echo '
' . __( 'Sign Up', 'buddypress' ) . '

';
}
}
remove_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2 );

Drop that into your functions.php file.

It’s the same as the standard function except it appends the $bp->root_domain with $_SERVER.
I’m not sure if this is a feature or something that’s been overlooked and needs reporting in trac. Also on different servers I’ve had differing results with php $_SERVER based stuff so I’m not sure if it will work everywhere. It works on the server I’m using anyway.

Hi,
Thanks for this tips.
I need to display as delault “activity_update” AND “new_blog_post” AND “new_blog_comment”. How can I add this to your code ?
Any idea ?
Guillaume.

You will be adding the switch_to_blog function in the header.php of your theme/s for subblogs.
Using bp-default theme’s sample Code here – http://buddypress.pastebin.com/MafW4WNU
If you are using different theme then you would have to add the 2nd code to your theme replacing the wp_list_pages or the wp_page_menu template tag in your theme’s header.php

@Pisanojm I am testing on WP3.0. Your problem is wrong image path, I will testing on my website and let you know if found error.

@mercime – thanks for answering! I just don’t understand where I should paste/change the switch_to_blog function? Is it in the style.css, the header.php… I feel clueless… I’m a newbiw on this kund of things. Can you please advise?

Did Sven leave the house? Hope not…

Hey Sven, got a problem with 1.2.4 beta on WP3.0/BP 1.2.5.2 – everything works fine for BP, but its missing Title and Keywords on the blog home page, which is a static page, and the blog itself, which is at http://virtualcrowds.org/blog/ – is there a fix for this or am I doing something wrong?

@lisalove – if you want to have the same main navigation throughout the site then use the switch_to_blog function that andrea_r above posted or copy the HTML of the main navigation in main blog and paste that in all the themes you uploaded for your members to use in their own blogs.

You can use Kimili plugin if you only need to upload .swf or .flv files in regular Posts/Pages in backend. But for BuddyPress, right now the only bp-compatible plugin which allows upload and display of .swf or .flv files is the BP Gallery Plugin, which is not released to public yet.

“incorporate an article/post slideshow into the Thematic theme”
Getting the slideshow to work is more on the WordPress side … if you’re making a slideshow of the posts/articles in your site. BuddyPress doesn’t have anything to do with the slideshow … unless you’re making a slideshow of BP Gallery images or members or groups, etc.

Furthermore, since you’re using the Thematic theme (which has a BuddyPress-compatible version/adaptation), might I point you to the Thematic Forums since they can assist you better in choosing best slideshow/plugin for your site http://themeshaper.com/forums/
