@r-a-y The name still shows up when users leave a comments on a blog… also I understand what your are saying about the “name” field, but i still believe that it should be up to each webmaster to decided if that field should be used or not in the “Profile Field Setup”. If you manually create a user from your main admin, you don’t get asked a name, just the username.

Add the following to your theme’s stylesheet:

div#topic-meta h3 {padding-bottom: 1em;}

@dwenaus another option for plugin development would be to create a project on http://GitHub.com. There’s a handful of BP plugins up there already and GitHub can provide a DONATION widget powered by http://Pledgie.com. Example project with the donation widget: http://github.com/gmate/gmate

Personally, I’d rather see a leader take charge of a plugin and then invite other developers to collaborate. The plugin itself would be FREE, but any funds gathered through GitHub and BP > Extend > Plugin > Donate will be split amongst the developers involved.

HI Mr Maz, i am having a difficulties in using and managing the links.

I have already created a few categories for my links and tried to post some links in each of the categories.
But the problem occurs for some of the category filtering where not all of the categories are were correctly filtered.

For an example.
i have category A, B C and D
When i go to the links page it will show all A,B,C,D filters in one list
when i filtered for category A, it works fine
but when i filter category D to be viewed, it has an error on it (where it fails to filter the right category i choose in the category drop down list)… How can i fix this?

i’ve deleted the links and the category and created a new one, but i still happening again

Any solution for this? By the way this plugin is a good plugin. Thanks

Not likely. I would guess sometime this week?
Just keep watching Trac for updates – https://trac.buddypress.org/timeline

There’s a bug with the “New Topic” dropdown menu that will be fixed in the next release of BP.

You first need to enable the discussion forum for each group before you can post a topic.

Navigate to the group admin page for the group you want to add a forum to. Go to “Group Settings” and enable discussion forum. Save.
Now attempt to post a new topic.

See if that works.

Sure, you can manipulate page layouts with CSS. Before going further, what theme are you using? Also – help us help you.

Do you have your own separate bbPress forums already setup?
If not, just go ahead with the one-click forums install!

Yes on a separate line. take care though and be prepared to backtrack to a good version of the file.

@rossagrant Yes i just saw that… also the full name still shows when users leave a comment in a blog. I think we need to come up with something else before i upload this code as a plugin…
I’m considering modifying the registration page to “hide” the name field all together, but since it’s required, i need to find a way to fill in the name field using the data entered in the username field… Maybe using JavaScript… not sure yet
I’ll let you know

php.ini is a global conf file for php. If you are running your own server you need to locate the file and open in a text editor and find the right line and adjust from 32 to 64. If you are on a shared host then you might get away with adding a line to the .htaccess file – that should be in your root directory – like thus:
php_value memory_limit 64M

This though will only work if a shared host has allowed this particular directive to be set, and I would have thought they wouldn’t but it’s worth a shot!

An earlier thread might work for you. Always run a quick search

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-only-2/

Sounds as though your PHP script memory limit is too low iirc 16mb is default, 32mb the value I always change it to and the guys here tend to recommend setting it to 64mb. This is changed in php.ini if you have no access to the global settings for PHP on the server then you can set it via htaccess or failing both of these approaches contact your server hosts and put the problem to them and see if they can resolve for you.

Re CosmicBuddy theme, do you have the upgraded one compatible with BP 1.2?
As for Ines and Skyper themes by milo, the theme support forum is here

There are also other BP Child themes available that should be compatible with BP 1.2
https://buddypress.org/extend/themes/

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2354

So the patch there enables the order of forum posts to be reversed with the latest on page one.

How do I apply a patch or can anyone turn this into a plugin?

Thanks for the great help @r-a-y and @rossagrant

I’ve just turn this code into a small plugin for people who don’t want to mess around in the code. I’m going to see if I can upload it to the extend section. I think i’m going to call it “BP Username Fix”

@r-a-y: Excellent. Let me refactor the code accordingly, as I think we’re in agreement that the ultimate goal is to do one wp-recaptcha that works everywhere. I need to actually go off the new 3.0 codebase from Blaenk, anyway; won’t be hard to do that. Once I have a new version up, I’ll have it in Git; that way, other BP users can look at it and try it out before there’s an official release bringing wp-recaptcha and the temporary bp version back together later this summer.
