BuddyPress.org

It´s included in the BuddyPress Forums Extras plugin.

Dig around this plugin’s forum: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/

Not sure what to tel you about the theme issues you’re having (I just modified the BP default one), but I get what you mean about the BP groups/forums confusion.

The audience I’m after is used to vbulletin forums, so I actually found some code posted here on BP.org that made groups open onto the group forum by default, and then I put a conditional around the activity stream posting thing on the group activity pages that only allows admins to see/use that. This way, all group activity id funneled into the forums, unless the group admin just feels the need to post something to the activity stream. I also just did away with the ability to post activity stream updates from the sitewide stream page, but you could just modify the ‘post update to’ dropdown menu there to hide and make it post to the user’s profile only.

All in all, I’ve found that Buddypress can be a bit of work if you want to change the way it does certain things, but for most people the features are worth the trade-off of some extra work. I hope you get it all figured out and working the way you’d like

@angelntini

@DJPaul is referring to the pretty permalinks setting within the admin dashboard. Scroll down and click on Settings and then click on Permalinks. Say you select the second choice and save, you will see .htaccess in same folder as wp-config.php

Hey Guys,

So I just need to add this line (via @nuprn1) to my functions?

Does this also fix previously posted activities or only newly posted ones?

Cheers.

@angelntini The .htaccess file may be hidden. Depend on what program you use to access your files, you need to show all files.

Are these texts from a Groups’ Forum? If so, I know the bug.

part of bp_core_do_catch_uri() when a template is not located then:

if ( $located_template = locate_template( array( ‘404.php’ ) ) ) {
status_header( 404 );
load_template( $located_template );

Having the exact same problem as @stef78 – Someone help, please!

Hope it helps… BTW, I’ve posted questions that have gone unanswerd on this site for days..(some weeks) Sooner or later somebody answers, if not -that’s the way it goes when you’re not paying for support and your using an open-sourced product. The guys at http://premium.wpmudev.org/ offer paid support if you need it. Also the guys at http://bp-dev.org/ will hire out for projects. The core group of coders here are pretty amazing…

After seaching for a month as to what the best social site software is for my use, I kept coming back to Buddypress because it allowed me the freedom to do what I wanted… The others were very restrictive in their “canned” solutions. I’m pretty happy so far. AND very much looking forward to the major update of WordPress 3.0 Stable, coupled with Buddypress NEW Stable… it looks as though all of the problems that I have had are going to be fixed in a month or so…

No, new posts still do not create ACTIVITY_ID fot the link: hxxp://demo.example.com/activity/favorite//?_wpnonce=6bd3dcf18e
I posted some text on the main blog.

@kriskl – Google updates the public PageRank once every 3-4 months, so do not expect a change anytime soon. PageRank is the “power” of a page based on internal and external links. The fact you just closed a good portion of your site from Google crawlers should cause your PR to drop, because there are less internal links.

@angelfire4xx The ‘Invite anyone’ plugin was originally written to extend the default send group invites to other members but that only allowed sending invites to join a group to people already on your personal friends list, ‘Invite Anyone’ changed that so it was possible to access a full site member list to invite from. Boone then further extended the plugin to have the capability of emailing invites to people not yet members; thus the plucin is in effect two functions in one.

Both aspects of the plugin can be fully controlled, you can set the group invites to specific roles i.e admins only, then general members will not see the option available; likewise you can set the email invites to admins only and they will be the only ones to see the tabs navigation and screens.

All these options are in the setup screen in the dashboard it’s just a case of spending a little time with the options, configure them to your requirements and testing the results!

Hi Philo,

@philippmuenchen and @sbrajesh.

Thanks for your discussion. Did you ever figure this out?

I’m trying to show all groups and make sure that all required fields get filled. I tried your solution and yes, it shows all fields but it allows user to create account without filling out all required fields.

Thanks for the response in advance.

@slaffik – Can you try creating a new blog post and then check the favorite button on that blog post?

When you mouseover the favorite button, you should see:
hxxp://domain.com/activity/favorite/ACTIVITY_ID/?_wpnonce=xxx.

If the activity ID is blank, that means the code couldn’t find an activity id for the blog post.

I’ve noticed that some old blog posts do not work because the activity item_id and secondary_item_id in the database are wrong.

@r-a-y
Ok, thank you
But it’s still doesn’t work… Yes, I see “Mark as Favorite” text, but it makes nothing. And yes, bp-custom is in its place.
Each post link to favourite it has the same wpnonce. And after pressing it the url in address bar in browser doesn’t have post_id (I mean this: …/archives/165#activity- )

You may hook into the_content and then on admin page create a field to insert a css code to position the block.

@latinosamorir
I didn’t see that problem. I have two required fields and when I register, it redirect back to the page and it shows “This is a required field”. I’m using buddypress 1.2.4.1 so maybe it is already fixed.

well i don’t know how buddypress works with bb but in the wp_bb_topics table (created using the default bb install using buddypress) there is a topic sticky field and the default value is 0… I think if you set it too one it would become a sticky but I’m not sure how buddypress works with bb… let me test it..
