BuddyPress.org

It’s a plugin conflict, there was this thread from the other day:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/personal-activity-stream-not-showing/

Okay, let’s backtrack. Please answer these questions:

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

As Ray’s said, please use the thread he linked to or make a new one. If us moderators had our moderator powers back yet (which we don’t), this’d be closed.

It looks like you also have the 3rd-party plugin bp-registration-options installed and activated. If you can log the dashboard as Site Admin, then go to the Plugins menu and deactivate the plugin bp-registration-options. If you cannot login to your site, then manually remove the bp-registration-options plugin from the /plugins/ directory.

Either way, that should bring your site back up. You will then need to contact the plugin author and tell him/her about the error.

NOTE: This thread should be moved to the support forum Third Party Components & Plugins

Rename all plugins in your plugin folder through ftp, access your wp-admin again and only activate buddypress, this way you can find out wether the problem lies within buddypress or some other plugin.

@bobs12 It was indeed regrettable that the wire was taken out, but using the @mention system basically works the same.
This works by using “ @name” in a activity update, this way the user that is mentioned gets notified and can react to it.

Rather than drag up a rather old thread , could you perhaps marshal your thoughts about the UI and general user experience in this thread:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/the-buddypress-ui-design-and-conceptual-approach-to-social-networking/

It’s a vague attempt at having a thread running to mirror the API developers thread but focused more on the presentaion tier or Frontend.

The 1.2 release of BP has gone all wrong My users aren’t Twitter users or technophiles of any description – BP is now too complicated for me to get my head round, and I’m supposed to be the one running the site based on it, so I can hardly expect my users to be able to understand.

The profile wire – why, why did you take it away? 1.1.x was fantastic, now I am beating my head against the keyboard trying to work out how to bring it back after I updated to 1.2 just so I could install a gallery plugin.

The wire (once I’d renamed it to ‘wall’ so my users would understand what it was) was about the only thing that my members really used for public exchange. I installed BP to replace an outdated site platform that I’d built from scratch years ago, thinking that it would take the hard work out of maintaining the site… oops, I was wrong

The plugin is not 100% update friendly, if I disable buddypress the site crashes.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_load_template() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-132/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-core.php on line 277

I fixed this bug for my version with if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) )
`
/**
* Use this only inside of screen functions, etc
*
* @param string $template
*/
function bp_links_load_template( $template ) {
bp_links_setup_theme();
if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) ){
bp_core_load_template( BP_LINKS_THEME . ‘/’ . $template );
}
}
`

and wp single:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-155/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-admin.php on line 20

I changed:
`
if ( !is_site_admin() )
return false;
`
to
`
if ( !current_user_can(‘level_10’) ){
return false;
}

`

@lint9999 – Use the Favorite option in the activity stream perhaps?

This is a known issue.
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2055

Watch this ticket for new developments.

Thx @Dwenaus.

@warzan Just as a reference, how much has each supporter been giving on average? I may have to go to my early community for fund raising, so I’d need a feasible target.

Cheers!

@apeatling This worked fine for me. Thanks.

@stwc
@mikepratt
In that case, you will have to cap on “bp_core_get_root_domain”, as this is what used by the userlink.

`
add_filter(“bp_core_get_root_domain”,”my_site_url”);//just removing the effect of BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG on the urls
`
This will do things like change all the references of sub blog used by buddypress to point to main site not the sub blog. I hope it helps

I’ve never been able to get jjj’s plugin to work.

@firetag — as I talked about here, I’m really keen to have something to start from to get this going. Would much appreciate anything you can share to help!

Of course, now the problem is figuring out how the license will let you distribute the changes you made. Unless you did a nice job separating the BP mods for Thesis. No doubt Thesis would be a nice theme to offer for BP.

@bigleeroy FYI – Changes that you make to bp-default will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. Build a child theme to make sure that you don’t lose your customizations: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

I guess this topic dropped off the radar, but I hope it comes back up again, because I personally think this is a great direction to go, and I see many advantages to having the friends feature built on top of the groups feature.

I haven’t had time to read most of the previous 70 posts on this topic. One thing I do want to respond to was what MrMaz said early on about friends being a one to one relationship and groups being a one to many. I think friendships are one to one, but in practice they are almost always queried as one to many. You don’t usually query to get one friend, you query to get all of a user’s friends at once.
