BuddyPress.org

Check out this post by Rich: http://blog.etiviti.com/2010/03/buddypress-hack-remove-non-friend-updates-from-the-activity-stream/ You’ll want to change line 10 to be something like if ( $activity->user_id == $filtered_user_id ) (or use in_array if you have a number of users whose content you want to filter).

Not a perfect solution – it’ll screw up some of your page numbering if you filter out too much – but it’s good for filtering out the occasional item from a particular item.

@marcogiustini – That’s strange – what themes are you using on the secondary sites? As long as the themes contain do_action( 'wp_footer' ), the admin bar should show up on them.

By the way, similar loops exist for bp_has_groups(), bp_has_members(), etc. The codex is pretty good on these subjects: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/

@ajaxmac – If you want to get group activity updates, you’ll want to query for *activities* rather than groups. Check out bp_has_activities() https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/. For example, you can get the last five activity updates from a group with a loop containing the following query:
if ( bp_has_activities( 'max=5&object=groups&primary_id=' . $group_id ) ) (obviously you’ll have to get that $group_id from somewhere).

Then use the rest of the activity loop to display the content. Check out buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/entry.php to see how bp-default displays a single activity item within the loop, and activity-loop.php to see an (albeit complicated) example of how bp-default initializes the loop with a query.

Individual inequality signs seem to work OK.

Are you trying to allow users to post HTML code? That’s a different beast altogether. If you want to allow them to place HTML *elements* in their status updates, etc (eg so that they can make a piece of text bold by putting strong tags around it), you’ll want to add those tags one by one to the kses filters for individual components. See, for example, buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-filters.php, bp_activity_filter_kses(). You can either remove that filter altogether (by dropping
remove_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'bp_activity_filter_kses', 1 );
remove_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content', 'bp_activity_filter_kses', 1 );

into a bp-custom.php or functions.php file), or you can put a filter on bp_activity_allowed_tags to allow individual tags through.

If you’re trying to allow your users to post *code*, make sure that you include the code and pre tags in your kses filter.

There are a couple ways to make themes for BuddyPress.

One way is to make a child theme for bp-default. Instructions can be found here: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ This is a good option because it’s relatively simple, but it will restrict you to some extent to the general structure of the bp-default theme.

Another way is to integrate BP features into your own Svelt theme. The BuddyPress Template Pack will help you do that. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/ Basically, it provides the extra templates necessary (on top of your existing WP templates) to run BuddyPress functionality. Follow the Template Pack instructions carefully on a test installation, and see what you think. Once you’ve gone through the Template Pack setup, you can start customizing the way that BP integrates with your theme to your liking – but BPTP will give you a nice headstart.

@hnla

not sure what the coders (I am definitely not talking about the BP-Core-Developers, but rather the “Coding-Community”) are waiting for ?
The Core-Developers did a great job and are a bit exhausted for the moment, which is very understandable and acceptable.

Now is the time for the Coding-Community to move ahead and a matter of TEAM-building into small teams who take on features they want to improve or develop.

please message me back at

Absolutely. An iPhone app for buddypress would be very cool.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me in the way you suggest. The admin bar didn’t show if I use the normal Twentyten theme for slave sites.

I also have the same problem as u Ky, but Im running it on a local server. I also check my email account and there are no whatsoever emails from bp after I finished filling up the form in the registration, do we need to run bp online to test it, although there is an online demo, i need to check it b4 doing it on an actual online site?? BTW, It also shows up in my dashboard’s users.

Also, I wanted to ask if BP needs to have MU enabled?? Im using it in wordpress 3 (they say it has MU in it also) and buddypress.1.2.5.
I tried using Buddypress on wordpress 3 (wwithout enabling mu) and it works fine and the only prob was that the registration doesn’t work the way it did like when I register here at BP forum.

I hope someone can help us with the problem. Thanks to u all.. ^_^V
Really sorry if this is a super newbie question..

@antonrsa
Here’s the amended code http://pastebin.com/HW7W113W

replace bp-group-tags.php with this

I got it to work, with r-a-y’s help, what do you need help with? The only thing not working on my side it the tag selector, ( the ajax, I think? )

Another very good SC plugin(free) is Fireshot for Firefox.

The intelligent coders are all here, waiting and willing, posts such as this are the clarion calls to stir everyone to action, and after the recent posts discussing the state of play the core dev team and mods are attempting to ensure the project is put on an even firmer footing.

In terms of BP as a project and production application I think it’s worth remembering ( I certainly have to remind myself ) that BP is a relatively young project – WP took quite a few years before it settled into a mature app – As for looking to the long term I think that this is addressed in the NextGenAPI which is a necessary next step and one that looks to take BP forward.

Followers/Following is available as a plugin and has a widget to add ‘users following you’ to any sidebar/widget area. Friends is generally see on your account screen, doesn’t have a widget as such but it shouldn’t be hard to add the friends loop to a function in your functions.php file and to add it then to perhaps a sidebar-me hook to render on the sidebar.

Can anyone help me with this?

Also make sure BuddyPress is activated network-wide.

Cool @rvenable. I know some groups who would be interested in using this plugin. Will be checking it out. Thank you.

@damian2001, change to bp-default theme, you will see the bp-admin bar across all sites like the one at http://testbp.org/
Double check dashboard – BuddyPress > General Settings > Hide admin bar for logged out users?:> should be NO

here is the feedback directly received from PollDaddy.com / Automattic:

BuddyPress should be able to use the Polldaddy WordPress plugin ( https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/polldaddy/ ) but its not officially supported.

great initiative, Jeff.

I myself have reported about 293 defects, enhancements and suggestions into the TRAC-reporting-system during the last year and a lot has been fixed and changed so far.

So where are all the intelligent coders who are capable of moving BuddyPress to the next level ?

Only by improving the core-code of BuddyPress, all of you coders, freelancers and designers will make money in the long-term.
Do not take the short-term-view, step out of your tunnel-vision and take the long-term-approach !

Well, I guess you remember what the short-term-view did to e.g. the financial industry ?
