BuddyPress.org

@nuprn1 Great! Finally I got where the function is. Thanks.

But how can I redefine the function to skip group_is_member process for the non-members to post.

I think I’ll add this to my function this:

add_filter (‘groups_post_update’, ‘myfunction’);

Right? But what’s the function

I started to create a child theme for WP once, but I edit things so much I am a basically creating an entirely new theme anyways so I don’t even bother. I just duplicate the default theme folder so I’m not working completely from scratch, name the folder something different, and just go to town on it. A lot of files like the stylesheet and index page I just completely wipe out.

I had been up all night when I wrote this post, but I think what I was trying to ask was does buddypress not work the same way, where you have an actual file for each page? And instead dynamically generate each page out of scattered php? Is there not a page for activity? a page for forums? a page for groups? for the tabbed members page etc.

I thought it may be easier to just convert one of my pre-broken down sandbox themes from wordpress and just add some extra code here and there to make it buddypress’able so I know where everything is, but I guess the only documentation for that now is to just use that new plugin converter. But the first thing it told me to do was to start editing the html, which is the opposite of what I need, so I stopped. I also stopped because the files already had the two divs and id’s it said it needed but wasn’t doing anything, I don’t know if it was a wordpress 3 glitch or what.

@lincme.co.uk hi, thanks for your help but i am not capable to to it manually. i am new at this.so i am looking sth like plug in for now. But i ve downloaded it anyway to try later.

Hopefully I’m not so annoying that no-one is going to answer! But I’ve been trying to follow the steps in the buddypress compatibility plugin, and I particularly don’t understand where to put this:

@Jeff indeed it’s working now: Here is my bp-custom.php for others: http://pastie.org/1030176

I think it wasn’t working because I had adjusted the do_action() function from within my function to do_action( ‘my_friends_setup_nav’); and I guess it needs to be left as do_action( ‘friends_setup_nav’);

Thanks for all your help Jeff!

@Jeff you copied it in as my_friends_setup_nav()? Can you post your function please?

Hi, Jeff. Thanks for the speedy response. So the crucial difference is that if I don’t need multiple blogs I can still with good old WP and not have to interface with MU. Great. I notice that BuddyPress doesn’t have a Calendar plugin (well I couldn’t find one). Is there a substitue? How do WP plugins work in BP?

@nuprn1 I know and I tried to remove it. When I remove the code, I can see the post-form but when a non-member tries to post something to the group, it says “couldnt update your status. please try again later. The problem is it’s still checking somewhere else to see whether the member joined or not.

Where’s that?

Well,

I tried remove_action on the function I found that I want to customize, but it doesn’t work apparently because bp-custom.php is being loaded before bp-friends. I tried this in my theme’s functions.php as well, but it still does not work. What am I doing wrong?

/***
* Create custom functions for buddypress so updates do not override customizations
*/

function my_friends_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

/* Add ‘Friends’ to the main navigation */
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Friends (%d)2222′, ‘buddypress’ ), friends_get_total_friend_count() ), ‘slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘position’ => 60, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->friends->id ) );

$friends_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->friends->slug . ‘/’;

/* Add the subnav items to the friends nav item */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Requests’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}
}

do_action( ‘my_friends_setup_nav’);
}
remove_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘friends_setup_nav’);
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_friends_setup_nav’);

@ronia, yes, the latest version is 1.2.5, as far as I know, and 1.3 will officially support WP 3.0. So if you upgrade you have nothing to worry about. My problem is that I want to stay on BP 1.1.3, trying to get that to work on 3.0.

The key to solve that is here. Putting this in bp-custom.php worked for me:

define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files’ );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, $_SERVER . ‘/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files’);

Still have to copy more avatar code from 1.2.5 to get everything to work in 1.1.3…
