BuddyPress.org

Isn’t that what this plugin will do? https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-member-map/ I have it on my list of plugins to try.

Not a plugin actually, but someone could turn it into one. It’s actually quite simple, you just need to include the following code in your theme wherever you want the map to appear. You will need a profile field called “Location”. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

@mrmaz Just added support for your plugin to my “CubePoints Buddypress Integration” plugin I’m using the following do_action’s (bp_links_create_complete, bp_links_cast_vote_success, bp_links_posted_update, bp_links_delete_link). So if you ever change them please let me know because it will stop working on my plugin.

Thank you so much for keeping malleable with buddypress updated.
Now let me ask you a question: what are the benefits of basing a BP theme on Hybrid framework ? I mean, I know I can profit from Hybrid’s widget areas and all that but on the “blog side” is there any other benefit that I am not noticing ?

Ah ok hadn’t realised that was the issue with post formatting.

I would be happy to start the thread and will do when I have moment to write an introduction/prologue to qualify the purpose of the thread but equally would be more than happy and not upset if one of the older hands with BP decided to run with it and start things off.

I’m having to echo all of the sentiments that were very well expressed by stwc a few posts up.

I’m especially worried by the activity stream now as I find it confusing and am not sure of it’s true worth?

Earlier in the thread (yes I refer to this as a thread in the classical sense) there was mention of lack of UI focus, it brought to mind the thread started by I think Mr Mazz? requesting feedback on API design, this thread was and is extremely arcane and esoteric and even makes the point of requesting that all but real programmers steer clear, and for acceptable reasons; however it prompts my feeling that emphatically BP and the project as a whole is simply far far too mid tier heavy, so far it feels that it’s all about the logic and less about the top tier or presentation layer (Frontend in web app terms) I think in order to determine best how BP does indeed work at a user level it is going to be essential to open real dialogue with people who have UI architecture experience who’s focus is on that presentation layer. I would vote for a companion thread to run alongside the API one dealing specifically with UI and user experience, better I would love to see the project balance out it’s developers and bring on board people to work on this aspect. It must be seen as an extremely critical aspect, you can develop the API ad infinitum but it means little if communities simply don’t jell due to users finding things too confusing.

Back to the site design or functionality are we going to have basic formatting for posts, or rather what is the formatting available, why can we not blockquote how do we add code formating? How have these aspects just managed to vanish?!

but then again you could use the BP-SEO plugin for that i think

@bpisimone , yes you only need to change the EXAMPLE in BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG and the title “Example”..is the second page a new page you created without a title?

this is what i did to add 3 page titles to 3 pages i created, in the same code:

function page_titles( $title, $b ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example 1’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE2_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example 2’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
if ( $bp->current_component == BP_EXAMPLE3_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example 3’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_page_title’, ‘page_titles’, 10, 2 );

@stwc as i stated above, i did not know how to do it through wp, i tried using the wp codex for creating a page template but it didnt seem to be working for me, so instead i used the code above which was provided by john james jacoby in a previous forum topic
as the question above that he asked was: “is they’re any way you can edit it through a text editor rather than dashboard. Or is there any known way of how to solve this problem”

@dre1080 I like the page title function there.

/*For extra functionality you can add a title for that page*/
function page_titles( $title, $b ) {
global $bp;

`if ( $bp->current_component == BP_Example_SLUG && $bp->current_action == ” ) {
$title = __( ‘Example’, ‘buddypress’ ); /*change Example with what you want the title of your page to be*/
}
return $title;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_page_title’, ‘page_titles’, 10, 2 );`

The first one works and adds a nice title to my about page. The second one though results in a white page. As if there was a double definition somewhere. There’s nothing I need to change else than BP_Example_SLUG and the actual title “Example”?

Are “Groups” forums or groups and what is “Community” … is “Community” a forum or a group of groups (whatever they are)?

I am utterly confused.

Why cannot I reply to an individual reply above, as per quoting, or perhaps – dare I add to the confusing – have threaded discussion!?!

@Bowe

Yes, I feel lost and it all feels “wrong” too.

Yes, sorry to say it, Buddypress badly needs the input of an experience interface designer.

Shit … there is still no preview before post or basic formatting either … what is this IRC made more complex?

@stwc I believe all the Automattic are at WCSF so I doubt anything will get fixed this weekend

Exactly. As an example, say you wanted the SVN for “Welcome Pack” —

The WordPress plugin page is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/
and the SVN path is http://svn.wp-plugins.org/welcome-pack/

Do non-BuddyPress specific emails get sent OK from your WordPress install? i.e. disable BuddyPress and get WordPress to send you a password reset email, or something.

We need many more details – please look at and let us know about the questions asked in https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

Also, please don’t bump your own post for at least 24 hours.

Hi @thekmen – do you have a widget or “something” that would allow an activity stream on the home page?? I have a modified version of the them at http://www.suckitupprincess.net, and would love to put the last x activities on the frontpage…
The site is not far from being launched Just a key feature I am making work first

@cweencee I’m having the same issue and also have a deadline to meet. I will let you know if I find anything out, please do the same. Thanks.
