BuddyPress.org

Hi all

My site is nearing completion now Buddypress is a great tool…but no way near as ‘plug in and go’ as the creators maintain…

Probably my last request is those user links on the Buddypress bar at the top of the page. I have tried looking into how they are linked, but to no avail. I want them as links if possible? IE, I need to insert them into a menu, but it is a lot harder then it should be. In the link, how do we make the link a universal one, instead of directed at my username?

So the links I need are…

activity > mentions, personal, favorites, groups
forums > topics started, replies, favourite topics,
groups > memberships, no pending invites,
settings > general, notifications,
profile > view, change, settings,
log out
notifications

My next port of call is to remove the links from above are also in the profiles. Just to make it cleaner to use the site, and view profiles.

Thanks for your help guys

I recently tried to upgrade my WordPress to 3.2.1 and then upgrade my Buddypress to 1.2.10. Since doing that a whole bunch of things went wacky. I reinstalled WP 3.1.4 and BP 1.2.6 and that fixed most of the issues, but now when I go to create a group, I get the group but it puts in 3 or 4 of the same group so it looks like there are multiple groups with the same name, description, membership etc. Also I seems to have lost the ability to password protect a group, but now the private group is by request so that seems okay. Any suggestions?

I am new to buddypress I’m not a coder. The install was simple. But when it comes to the forums i can’t set it up! Instead i get told i have to make a group. I want a forum (with categories) but at the same time i want group forums to work separately. So when i set up a group i go to the forums page and it tells me group forum directory.
I want a forum on that page not a group forum directory. Is it possible if someone can tell me how i can correct this? Again, I’m not a coder so a simple copy and paste would help. I can always learn something new though. but this is killing me, i have looked everywhere forums, youtube videos etc.
Step by step instructions for “Non IT techy” would be helpful. Hopefully in a newer version of buddypress you can make group forums separate from forums. So again anything would help.

Also is it possible to have a separate page for group forum directory instead of using the forums page and is it possible to make it so only admins can see that page? I think this would be helpful if you’re running a site and want to admin group forums but not have them show publicly. or an option to let users just display forums in the directory they allow publicly?Just a suggestion.

By the way, I tried signing up to bbpress and couldn’t get a confirmation email. i tried hotmail gmail and yahoo neither of them work so if anyone from bbpress is around just thought i would let you know.

Thanks hope to hear from someone.

Hello everyone,

thought someone would be able to shed some light onto this situation or also experiencing something similar. I’ll have some users logged in to my site and they well stay idle on a page lets say watch a 10 minute video. after 5 minutes or so the online now widget well show them offline when I refresh a page from another logged in member. I am using the latest version of buddypress. Any one go tany ideas or is this normal ?
