BuddyPress.org

Here is an unlisted plugin (that doesn’t work) but could give some braniac here on BP an idea of how to make a minimum password plugin for BuddyPress…seems like a great idea to me…

If you’re feeling antsy, the fix by John is here:

See if that works for you.

@cixxy you should try posting that in the bp album group: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/

@fennelandfern I have a three column site with customized column widths (www.hooping.org). Looking at the page you have linked it seems pretty clear to me that the content in your sidebar is wider than the default settings your sidebar are set for. Even looking at your index page makes this clear as you have ads that are hanging off over the edge. So this isn’t just a Buddypress issue, this is an issue for your doing with WordPress as a whole. It looks like your ads are probably 300k in width and I’m thinking that your sidebar is set to be something like 260k in width. Consequently you need to either a) change the size of your ads so that they fit in the space allotted for them, or b) change the size of your sidebar to make it wide enough for your content to be displayed – change the CSS width for your sidebar. If you don’t know CSS get someone to help you that does.

I had a similar problem. I spent a lot of time trying to edit the files under ../plugins/bp-template-pack/templates and nothing was changing! I browsed through my theme folder /wp-content/themes/ and saw that BP had inserted all of the BP template files within my theme folder — so I was making the edits to the wrong files! Are you certain you are editing the .php files under wp-content/themes/ or are you editing them in the bp-template-pack/templates?

Also, you don’t put [HEADER] etc. anywhere. But you probably do have to change the HTML structure of the template files that BP placed within your theme’s directory.

In order for BP to work, the BP templates need to have that structure. They default to:

<div id=”container”>
<div id=”content”>

My theme had a php call for the header (that’s what they mean by “[HEADER]”) and then what followed was:

<div id=”mainpage”>
<div id=”content”>

So I was able to go in to the BP templates that were placed within my theme directory, and change all of the “containers” to say “mainpage” and that resolved the problem. Of course your structure may be more sophisticated/complicated than that but it should be similar fix.

@caplain that worked like a charm for me, too. I run two sidebars and wrapped that to disable one of them on the bp pages. thanks!

@kagliostro i’m having the same problem as you, I could get WP-FB-Autoconnect working before but with WordPress 3.0 and Later versions of BuddyPress i’m having no luck whatsoever. What is Gygia?

It’s not recommend to make changes to the default theme because they will be wiped out when you upgrade BuddyPress.

Build a child theme and then try to edit it via the WP Theme Editor and see what happens.

If you continue to get the same problem after creating a child theme, reply back and let us know.

Create a file in your plugins folder bp-custom.php

Then follow these steps

BuddyPress is not a forum script:

Not sure why your boss cannot login, as you should be able to login via:

Are you using any plugins that use redirection?

Congratulations on your first contribution!

While I love the idea of grouping groups into groups I wonder if you could answer a design question for me?

Why did you not simply add a “parent” column and then provide a dropdown with all the groups in a “parent” selection option when creating any group?

I would want to add someone to the bottom-most group and implicitly they would belong to all parent groups. This option would keep all the group functionality regardless and you would not have had to add extra code decyphering the group “type”. You could email everyone in a “country” group or just a “city” group if that was how they were “linked”.

Thanks alot for suggestion.
But now i have another problem,
Error: Your WordPress address must match your Site address before creating a Network

Is there bybass or trick for this?

Hi Andrea, this isn’t true. A bug was fixed a few weeks ago in bp-blogs-classes.php that wasn’t correctly pulling a user’s blogs.

@hnla – Just for sanity’s sake, I tried again. This time via “Super Admin > Blogs”. I clicked “Edit”, then added an existing user to the sub-blog that way. Works. Can you check to see your wp_bp_user_blogs table to see if it’s recording anything?

there are a few filters on the css class used in various components – for example: (for activity streams)
http://etivite.com/groups/buddypress/forum/topic/quick-tip-highlight-friends-following-own-activity-stream-items/#topic

you could change up the logic to include the site admin or other various roles/caps

This should be good for you:

Might as can be done with this plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-posts-on-profile/

the subnav is not setup for a string replacement on the “Forums” tab for a dynamic count

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Forum’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘forum’, ‘parent_url’ => $group_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_forum’, ‘position’ => 40, ‘user_has_access’ => $bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘forums’ ) );

vs

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Members (%s)’, ‘buddypress’ ), number_format( $bp->groups->current_group->total_member_count ) ), ‘slug’ => ‘members’, ‘parent_url’ => $group_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_members’, ‘position’ => 60, ‘user_has_access’ => $bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘members’ ) );

You could remove and re-add the Forums subnav and include the sprintf call and reference this function

bp_forums_get_forum_topicpost_count( $forum_id ) will grab the count for all posts (including topics) for a given forum_id (but in buddypress the bbpress forum_id is stored in groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->groups->current_group->id, ‘forum_id’ ) )

you may also want to look at BP_Groups_Group::get_global_forum_topic_count but that is an overall general count – this function could be duplicated and changed to a per forum_id basis.
