BuddyPress.org

@rogercoathup I just checked their forums some weeks ago or so to look over simplepress as an alternative and found this post. I have not tested this as I opted to go with global forums. Other BP related topics in their forums as well.

That is, of course, an option, but I’m moving a community over from a site that was in Movable Type and Elgg into a new WordPress / Buddypress system and users are obviously attached to having the same username they had before and that people already know them by.

Sorry, that is what I meant. I am using WordPress 3.0 with multisite activated. That is the exact code. I am running WordPress 3.0 and Buddypress 1.2.5. I have this code installed in my bp-custom.php file and it activates the avatars across the whole domain. Are you absolutely sure you have this all in the right place? Did you put wrapped around the code I provided?

Sure, if you are not going to give free blogs/subblogs to members then just disable Blog Tracking component via Dashboard > BuddyPress > Component

@lincme – create a new topic in that plugin group with the error message and steps taken? (and if you had any certain types blocked prior) – i’m unable to reproduce with a type of ( created_group or nothing)

the only thing i see at the last step in the group steps is recording the activity, prior to redirect to the group homepage.

@alanchrishughes

I’m sorry that you are still having issues with deep integration of bbPress with WordPress. Many sites have an integrated bbPress install. In fact, @r-a-y has helped you extensively with the issue of bbPress integration into WordPress, pointing to many resources to help you accomplish that goal. If you are having trouble successfully performing a deep integration of bbPress with WordPress, then you should post on the bbPress or WP forums or ask for help on one of the blog articles to which Ray pointed you. (Have you searched for articles on bbPress and WordPress deep integration?)

By the way, with the exception of using bbPress for group forums within BuddyPress, bbPress and BuddyPress will never integrate site wide as BuddyPress is a plugin that sits on top of WordPress. What you are really talking about is integration of WP’s user tables with bbP’s user tables, so that they share their user data. BuddyPress does not store login information. BuddyPress does not authenticate users. Those functions are performed by WordPress. This site’s forums (BP.org) used to have an integrated bbPress install with WP. The forums were simply skinned to look like they were BuddyPress themed. But, they were a separate theme controlled by bbPress.

Let’s get this thread back on topic. I ask that you please refrain from taking this thread off topic anymore as it is impolite to the OP.

I’ve completely turned this plugin off… @blackphantom said there was a new update for this coming out this week or next in another post I’ve read somewhere on BP.

bbPress won’t integrate with Buddypress either.

if a site owner does not care about certain activity items at all – block em:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/

anyone?

You’ll have to modify the header.gif file for the logo.

For the menu items, you’ll have to pull the header.php from the parent BP theme (buddypressbp-themesbp-defaultheader.php) and add it to the Fishbook theme folder. Then, you can modify it however you want.

correct trac ticket (one listed above was for activity time_since)

@rogercoathup; Yep, I hacked the core previously due to lack of time to recode things, but upgraded to the latest BP today and found a number of issues (for me) were fixed. So only one small core hack now. Our site is fine with the &middots in the strings, which you can see at http://lincme.co.uk/community if you’re curious.

On a (kind of) similar note, I think the functions.php idea works well, with filters, etc. We wanted the last logged-in time shown only to logged-in members, and this seems to have done the trick fine (one for activity streams, one for the profile page);

function hide_activity($content) {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
$content=’Please log-in to view last visit time.’;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter(‘bp_member_last_active’, ‘hide_activity’, $last_activity);
add_filter(‘bp_last_activity’, ‘hide_activity’, $last_activity);

Hi @rogercoathup; I removed the View link from the activity stream by putting the following in the theme’s functions.php file;

add_filter(‘bp_activity_permalink’, create_function(‘$a’, “return null;”));

To remove it from the Profile page required a core hack, which I keep separate so I can restore/overwrite if need be. (I could be wrong about that, as I’m just getting into BP’s actions, filters, etc).

Since getting into BP a few weeks ago I’ve found a lot of things somewhat convoluted, but from reading around the forums here it seems the next version will have some restructuring, and easier theming. There’s a thread somewhere inviting people to test it.

@Pisanojm @paulhastings0 I’m getting the same thing. Wp 3.0 BP 1.2.5

@nuprn1

Is there a standalone ajax quote Rich or do I have to install the entire Forum Extras?

@phylliskhare do you know what plugin? I’m having a problem where with my site where you cant register if you dont have all lower case letters and you can’t have any spaces. Which is rough since people can’t add their last name without a space. Please let me know thanks

for group forums? – group forum extras plugin which has an ajax quote feature (requires a theme modification so the reply box is on each page though)
