BuddyPress.org

This is not a “problem” per se.

It’s a matter of customizing the language file:

Most users will input a subject… so I don’t see this being a big issue. You could possibly add javascript validation so the subject has to be filled out before the form is submitted.

Also, just wondering how you changed the username? This will help with others who encounter this problem later.

@piphut – It should… but if it doesn’t… try the snippet I posted above.

Also, this begs the question… how did you change your username in the first place? Did you edit it through the DB or through a plugin?

This is more of a workaround though.

Also, just wondering… what version of BP are you running? Did you try BP 1.2.4.1? If not, try upgrading to see if this issue is fixed in the new version.

@piphut – Try adding the following in wp-config.php:
define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

It’s possible that “admin” is still used as your “user_nicename”.

Ah, you’re doing it from the BP frontend. No, there is no standard image uploader for BP, or even for WP as far as I know. (Sadly.)

Here are some examples of plugins that allow file uploads. Each takes a different tack. Maybe you can decide what you want to do based on them.

Yep, it’s a good idea to relocate it, but the path was still wrong. The constant BP_PLUGIN_DIR points to the BP folder. Then you have the wp-content folder, so right there’s the problem. You could use this:
load_textdomain( ‘buddypress’, WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-languages/bp-family-’ . BPLANG . ‘.mo’ );

This assumes that you have your folder structure like this:
wp-content/plugins/bp-languages

@Kunkel will there be score keeping on the site or just to play?

please thats what i am looking for for weeks now arcade games can boom my website traffic

I think that your file location is the problem. If you have your file in wp-content, it should read

load_textdomain( 'buddypress', '/wp-content/bp-languages/bp-family-' . BPLANG . '.mo' );


@ninanoki – There are three strategies for doing what you want to do.

1) Load WP/BP in the background when you, for instance, save a mediawiki edit. You can do that by including wp-load.php. Then you can use the BP activity API, as @nuprn1 suggests above. The downside is that you’ve got a lot of overhead, loading both MW and WP at the same time.

2) Write directly to the WP database with a MW extension. I wrote this http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BuddyPressActivity a while back and it is out of date and doesn’t work right now, but you could hack it to work. Downside: it’s fugly

3) You could pull edits in via RSS. I have a working version of such a plugin on my localhost right now, but I have to clean it up before releasing it. It’ll let the admin put in any RSS feed (like MW Recent Changes) and have the updates be posted as activity items. If you’re sharing a user database, it’ll even key the user_id correctly. I might get a chance to work this up in the next day or two, and I’ll post it on these forums when I do.

Did you do step 3 here? https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

me too, also error.
This plugin is most want , but the author seem not develop any more….

I am having the problem that sending a private message points to “/members/_myuserid_/messages/compose//” which in turn responds with a Forbidden-Error page. My User ID is not “admin” though I do have site admin privileges.

This does not seem to be the bug describred in the ticket at https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1820

so you need to create a record outside the scope of BuddyPress? (if you can can bring in the global bp – then you just need a wrapper around function bp_activity_add )

Just have a look at the class BP_Activity_Activity and the save() function

@Anointed

There’s this to start with. It only displays members’ avatars (via usernames), but I guess with some code fiddling, you could get it to display just about anything you like: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-featured-members-widget/home/

@Hans

I’ve installed s2member on my site specifically because it CAN restrict access to both paid memberships AND free accounts. You can restrict access to posts, pages, tags, categories, single pages and uri’s. You can also have lots of fun with advanced conditionals and display different content to different membership levels, including the free level. For more info, check out this readme: http://www.primothemes.com/readme/914/

Here’s my membership options page to give you an idea of how I’ve set it up with free/paid plans: http://rspace.org/membership/

You might also want to try this plugin, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/, read the third option

“Administrators can specify certain profile fields that link to social networking profiles. If I enter my Twitter handle ‘boonebgorges’ into a field labeled ‘Twitter’, for example, this plugin will bypass the default link to a BuddyPress search on ‘boonebgorges’ and instead link to http://twitter.com/boonebgorges. See custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress-bp-functions.php to configure this setting.”

You might be able to hack it in a way that works for your site.

Not sure if this will help you, but you might consider trying this trick (see post by Boone Gorges), https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/remove-automatic-links-in-profile/.

Hope this helps.
