I’ve seen the time stamp one mentioned in another thread. The other one sounds new.

With WP 3.0 out of the door soonish, it kinda doesn’t matter anymore as WPMU ceases to exist. Then it’ll just be a matter of turning on the Multisite part of WP.

As for a large WP/BP community, I guess the largest one is this one, so Andy will be the person to talk to.

We have a website built using wordpress (cacv.ca) – I was hoping the social networking part could be a separate tab so all that we currently have up would remain as is. Is that possible?

You’ll want to check out this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/ I think it will do what you want.

@chopo87 It was 1.2.1 and even then it was only that I had a custom plugin developed for my site that relied on the Member Filter Plugin. I have never seen the Member Filter Plugin in action and performing as it should.

@djpaul he is asking for post-form attachments similar to FB style

Place to begin is in setting up a child theme and master stylesheet, described here in the docs somewhere:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/
If you are simply wanting to re-skin the default layout then you essentially set about overridding the default styles called into that child theme stylesheet. You will need to find the rulesets that govern the content area and sidebar and reset the widths stated for them to the values you want. As for the activity stream on the front page then you can do that by setting the reading options of the WP install to front page = ‘Activity Stream’ and creating a blank new page to hold the blog posts

Actually the code you’re looking for is to be found, for example, if you look in groups/index.php at around line 17 & 20 you’ll see:
printf( __( 'All Groups (%s)', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_total_group_count() )

You could simply remove those parenthesis from around the %s. Of course you would want to do this from a copy of the file as used in a child theme.

Read the post and trie the code, no luck (see http://www.imbaalumni.com). I have posted my bp-custom.php file here, http://pastebin.com/M0NPB2Dk

I am running WP 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.4.1

Any help would be appreciated.

@r-a-y

I tried you code in my bp-custom.php file, but it is not working. please take a look, http://www.imbaalumni.com, and let me know if you have any suggestions. Here is the code of the bp-custom.php, http://pastebin.com/M0NPB2Dk

Also, check out the “log In” link in the admin bar at the top of the page, how would I change that link?

@gian-ava – did you post in Trac?

Thanks,

Kalman

@fortrock6 Unfortunately there’s no straight forward and easy way to “fully customise” your site to look like a social networking site. If you don’t know CSS, you’re going to have to get your hands dirty and dive into CSS and learning how the wordpress and buddypress theme system works. Here are some links to point you in the right direction:

“I don’t understand where i can find “members.php” file.”
There is no members.php, it’s “members/index.php”
Go to your BuddyPress Theme folder and find the members folder, in it you will find index.php, that’s the one you want.

is ‘BP Member Filter’ plugin not compatible with wordpress 2.9.2 ?
The more pertinent question is, Is it compatible with buddypress 1.2.x. Unfortunately I think the answer is that unless you know some PHP and can figure out how the source-code works (Which I can’t), it just doesn’t.

@psyber Under what version of BuddyPress and BP Member Filters did you manage to get your site working? What code did you paste into members/index.php to get it working?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/ will help you part of the way

@snark ‘s code doesn’t seem to work on 1.2.3. For some reason the function bp_get_the_topic_title() doesn’t seem to be returning anything. I’m a python developer by day so, my PHP debugging skills are terrible .

Does anybody know how to update it to get it working again? @r-a-y ?

Friend-side of Friend v. Follow, I recall an oldie-but-goodie relationship mapping concept by @jeffsayre :: “the relationships people have with one another on a social network extend beyond the nebulous catchall of ‘friend’ … “ https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/582

Trac comments say this won’t be ready for BP 1.3.

But maybe that means 1.3 isn’t that far off…

To me, this is one of the most important missing features.

@r-a-y you’re a freaking genius.
I’ll send you a little paypal love when I get to work tomorrow. Look for it then.
Thank you man!
