BuddyPress.org

As far as I can tell, that’s all that’s missing for this to work with MU

@sbrajesh what they all said. Working great in my installs. Cheers!

@gregfielding – It’s possible, but requires some additional code.

How do I get that unified search results page like on the new buddypress.org site?

Brajesh Singh has posted a solution:

@sbrajesh
As always you da man… thanks so much, works perfectly

I added the points next to the users name in both the side bad, and also on the persons profile by using the following in my bp-custom.php.

Does anyone know the hooks for when someone ‘Likes’ something?

function my_bp_add_cppoints_display_my_points()
{
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
{
if(function_exists(‘cp_displayPoints’)){
echo “Points: “;
cp_displayPoints();
}
}
}

add_action( ‘bp_sidebar_me’, ‘my_bp_add_cppoints_display_my_points’ );

function my_bp_add_cppoints_displaypoints()
{
if(function_exists(‘cp_displayPoints’)){
global $bp;
echo “Points: “;
cp_displayPoints($bp->displayed_user->id);
}
}

add_action( ‘bp_before_member_header_meta’, ‘my_bp_add_cppoints_displaypoints’ );

@techguy The philosophy for wide-spread adoption is to not create any additional tables, and use meta whenever possible. This way you can rely on the internal functions of WordPress and BuddyPress to get and set that data, and you don’t have an upset site admin that needs to figure out where to put that table, how to cache it, how to serve it across multiple servers, etc…

I also think it depends on the scope that you need to achieve. The Groups API works really well for just about anything that you would want to plug into the groups component, but at the same time there can also be a need for totally 100% custom jobs where even the built in functionality doesn’t work for your application, in which case a totally custom theme might be in order.

All in all, I usually start with a custom plugin, that relies on the Groups API and group meta, and only use wp_sitemeta/wp_options if it’s a blanket default setting for all groups that can be changed by the site administrator.

@bowromir
Sure, why not. Let me get it from my theme, may be it will take a little time for me to separate it, will be posting here again.
@thekmen
Thanks

@el_terko Thanks It is coming soon, I am still in the process of power packing it with customizable features for developers

@r-a-y Thanks Ray, you are the rocking mod here , No, I have not handled the case of pagination, but not checked that too(there were very few results on my test install), so May be I can add some more test post and will check that. Hopefully that should work or if it does not work, a slight change in ‘bpmag_global_search_qs’ can make that work. Btw, there are links below the search results for each component to let you see the component search page. It’s something like I saw on some social networks and thought to implement for my BP.

@bowromir hey Bowe, that’s great Yes, I mentioned it in the tutorial. The layout code was from my theme bp-mag which is slightly different from bp-defult.. That’s why you may see some differences(and obviously I have not supplied any css and left it upto the developers)

The point was, have it in your theme and mod it as you want, that’s the reason I did not pack it as a plugin(as I promised in one of my posts 2 week ago on the site).

@sBrajesh could you also post your CSS code for this (on Pastebin)? Then I can modify it for the BP-Default theme, and post it here tomorrow morning (it’s night here).

@sbrajesh, great tutorial & write up, thank you…

I haven’t read the whole thread, but there are a bunch of users in that thread with the same problem.

I’d recommend posting in the bbPress thread I mentioned above. Maybe read through everything once more to ensure you’re using the right script.

Woow! Great @sbrajesh! Just got it working but the design itself is a bit messed up.. but I’ll try to take a look at it tomorrow, and post the results and layout improvements here.. thanks for the tutorial!

Hey Brajesh, your link is fine. It’s a tutorial write-up and a plugin! Thanks for contributing!

One question: haven’t tested this yet, but does pagination work for each of the different components in the search results?

Gee, how can I “favourite” this thread ?
@sbrajesh thanks for this tut, and would love to see a sample of your bp mag theme !

Can I get mine added to the list? Mine is BuddyPress Friendly.

@mods: hope I am not doing anything wrong, but if you feel it inappropriate linking my own site, please feel free to edit this post

Edit: Sorry, the initial download link was incorrect

Do not worry, I don’t understand it either.
To have standalone forums, you have to mess with a standalone bbP installation, which I think will be less integrated than the default groups+forums setup.

I am not sure, but with previous BP versions you could have standalone forums AND group forums, visualized all together. How I miss those days…
Several coders such as @nuprn1 and @sbrajesh have expressed intentions of developing plugins/hacks for standalone forums for the actual BP versions.
