BuddyPress.org

I suspect that this plugin hasn’t been updated to work with later versions of WP/BP.

I would follow the link Paul left you in this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/profile-google-map-in-this-site/

and implement that map function which is very straightforward, although not an actual plugin.

Oh man, barking like a dog would have fixed it Oh well…

1) What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress?
2) What are the file permissions on .htaccess? Can the webserver write to it? If you do have to change the permissions, then after doing so, go back into WordPress and change the permalink settings to something else. Then set it back to what you wanted the permalink to be and try again (this will re-write the relevant part of the htaccess).
3) What other plugins are you running? What theme are you using? If it’s custom, what sort of thing do you have in its functions.php?
4) What type of GoDaddy hosting are you using?

If you’re using WPMU aka Multisite on GoDaddy, as far as I can tell, you’re in for a lot of trouble

@caeaporg

Give this buddypress compatible wp3 default theme a try:
http://bp-theme-converts.com/twentyten-for-buddypress/

It’s not a plugin, just some code in the template. See https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/buddypress-org-location-in-the-profiles/#post-51674

@jeffsayre Ticket #2521 I do not see this problem and see settings menu for both wpms and wp.

I was looking for the exact same thing as @rossagrant when I found this thread (a basic empty custom tab that admins can add content to). I’ve tried using the Group Extension API per the documentation, but the code seems to be unaware of the API when it gets processed. I get an error saying it doesn’t know what BP_Group_Extension is. If I remove the extends from my class, it falls over at the bp_register_group_extension call.

I have put the sample code word-for-word in my bp_custom.php file (per @boonebgorges).

I am a developer, but am new to wordpress/buddypress dev. I’m using latest versions of WP/Buddpress.

Thanks for any pointers.

live refreshing of the activity stream is on the roadmap (1.4)
https://buddypress.org/about/roadmap/

given that – i wrote a simple ajax notifier plugin https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-activity-stream-ajax-notifier/ (short term solution)

might be a deep filter within bbpress but if you’re posting code/latex to the forums, have a go at installing syntax highlighter and just a quick hack to get that working properly:

If you are wanting to ensure that the flash object actually sits as part of the page you will want wmode=”opaque” rather than ‘transparent’.

Adding this attribute is not that straightforward, Rays plugin uses the WP oembed class and a quick glance at that doesn’t reveal a simple approach to adding this attribute and I’m finding the markup construction rather fractured to follow however there appears to be filters that could be used.

I think a shoutout to @r-a-y might be in order as he will probably know how to feed a new attribute to the object tag – if it proves not feasible the only solution I could think of would be to inject the attribute using jQuery but it wouldn’t be the best approach.

“at socialpreneur: This plugin does not support xprofiles. Not sure if I want to add it.”

If this is a project you are still working on I think you definitely should add that feature. And if possible something to display photos. Just my suggestions.

@contoaberto

Its better to notify using @mention feature.So that you will get your reply faster and also the notification goes to the user you intended to ask.Anyways I will do it for you.

@boonebgorges
hi, Boone Gorges,

Thank u very much for the info. But I have to confess I’m very much a newbie to understand what I might have done. Would you mind please explain a bit more – maybe in a dummie way?

Probably! Submit a report on http://trac.buddypress.org so someone can check it out, thanks

If you’ve activated the BuddyPress default theme, then yes, it (of course) changes the site’s theme.

@antonrsa

Dwenaus has said “update for WP 3.0 coming very soon” ( https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-tags/forum/topic/update-for-wp-3-0-coming-very-soon/ ) which im sure you would want to look out for. Hopefully the tag selector will be working.

Thanks @nit3watch

@armandmorin: if you’re still having this issue, i think the problem may be in the theme heading. If you are creating a new theme from the buddypress theme pack, then adding ‘Template: bp-default’ to your theme header *should* resolve this issue. Hope this helps!

/*

I noticed the above as well. BuddyPress would be great, once these issues are addressed. It’s strange that these problems don’t appear in this forum.

@ajohnson – Read this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/autocomplete-all-users-on-the-compose-screen/

Locking thread.

@nickaster “What if I want to get rid of buddypress?”
– deactivate BuddyPress and BP-dependent plugins at the same time. Then go to database and delete bp_ … tables (btw, backup database before doing this)

I haven’t encountered that issue about not being able to edit theme files at all. It would help to know the following
– what WP and BP versions are you using?
– what theme are you using?
Activate WP Default theme (in WP 2.9.2.) or The Twentyten theme (in WP 3.0) and see if you can go to Appearance > Editor and edit file.

@bennadler The problem with doing it that way (in BuddyPress core) is for installs where /wp-content/ is moved out of the WordPress root and located somewhere else, which is a common configuration for the more security minded folks.

That fix will work for most everyone else however.
