@Modemlooper – it’s already being rewritten in a way in versions BP1.2.4/BP1.3-bleeding … started between BP trunk-r2990 to trunk-r3000. Pleasant surprise.

Is there a way to get the visitor map plugin other than through this site?

@mazen – @djpaul‘s advice is good, you should use bp_has_members()

You might want to have a look at a plugin I wrote called BP Group Management http://teleogistic.net/code/buddypress/bp-group-management/ which creates a similar sort of admin panel, except for groups.

Sure can. Do you have something specific in mind? On what page(s) are you thinking?

@bofw Ah, there you are. Was wondering when I’d find your username on here.

Sarah – are you trying to hide particular fields, or field groups, on the ‘edit profile’ page?

Group admins can choose to enable/disable the group’s Forum via the admin settings page on that Group.

@erich73 You’ll have to hack the core; return false from the bp_activity_can_comment() function. If you could post this as an enhancement ticket to add a filter, that would be great

Yes, but I bet you a cake you haven’t got your site on http://localhost/.

@pollyplummer DJPaul has a fair bit of knowledge in this area – I’ve been picking his brains for the last few weeks on this very issue lol @DJPaul a nudge for you mate as you may be able to point in the right direction.

I have BP installed locally and it works fine. I’m using MAMP.

A widget that does what you describe would be useful for me, too. Did you have any luck finding one?

Actually, this site is a good example of what I’m looking for. Some of the plugin groups have forums and some do not.

Here’s a plugin without a forum: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/wibstats-statistics-for-wordpress-mu/

How would I disable forums for certain groups on a normal BP site? Basically I want forums for groups to be disabled by default, but then to be able to activate forums for groups on a case-by-case basis.

Here’s a good starting point: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-skeleton-component/

You might try the BP Wiki plugin too: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-wiki/

There are no alternatives to Group Docs plugin at this time that I know of. How about contacting plugin author to see how you can resolve problem you have with the plugin. As he said “Reporting bugs is the only way for them to be fixed.” https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

Thank you for this @sbrajesh

I had a new fresh install of WordPress 2.9.2 and Buddypress Version 1.2.3 all working together fine, then I added a plugin, WP Featured Content Slider Version 1.0 and thats when I had an issue with cropping members avatars and group avatars.

The image would upload but the cropping window wouldn’t appear, just two copies of the image one the upload size and one a cropped size would show.

After deactivating the new plugin, the cropping function worked normally again.

@pcwriter, you’re welcome. We will need to change code come WP3.0/BP1.3, it will be simpler then because all components will be rendered as WP Pages. Cheers.

I’d watch for the BuddyPress Moderation link that @Avatar posted. It’s a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project and so we should be seeing something from it this summer.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no place in the bp-default javascript where z-index would be overwritten or affected. Are you using a child of bp-default, or the BuddyPress Template Pack, or something totally custom? Is there a link you can share?

I just wanted to mention this is a proof of concept for the most part (as in the activity stream as blog comments i did)… if @andy and @mrmaz can chime in for future plans (though i’m sure 3.0 is bringing more to the table) that would be great. Personally – I want consolidation but the right tool for the job. Maybe back away from the nomenclature of forums – where the activity stream is already holding a discussion and that this proof is just formalizing the view of the activity stream. (hybrid? – something that is more familiar to the average forum user, etc)
