Going to put within half an hour

@sbrajesh would love to see that tutorial or the code on pastebin, please publish…

I had done it for one of my premium themes and I am in the process of publishing a tutorial too(Still incomplete). It is simple and can be achieved via theme itself, no plugin is required. No mod to your theme(other than adding a blank template file with a do action).
Let me know if you guys want, I will put the code on the pastabin.
Btw, My solutions hooks on the top of bp-functions, so there is no need to create a form(It will just take the bp form and hide the drop down),

@shamus – Are you using a custom theme?

It’s a known issue:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2203

There is a patch in the ticket that fixes relative times.

If you don’t mind dabbling with BP code… sitewide search could be implemented like this (I say “could” because I haven’t tried it yet).

First a form needs to be created with an input field. Then, you’d need to create a new page (in BuddyPress or a page in WordPress with a page template) and add a bunch of BP loops that checks for the same input field variable.

@michael

Try Modemlooper’s widgetized theme as a child theme of bp-default. It might be just what you’re looking for.

I really dont understand though why have to set up some groups to set up a forum on the site, is there a logical explanation for it?
When i go to “buddypress>>forum setup” it´s still empty and no forums there to configure.

I dont know – have to sleep on this to know what to do

Are you sure you enabled registrations? If you did enable it, you should see a “Sign up” button right next to “Login” in the BuddyBar.

Okay I got it to work!

Here is what I did:

1) Deleted bbpress everywhere.
2) Removed everything bb from my database.
(bbpress inside buddypress wasn’t adding tables for some reason)
3) Removed bb-config.php
4) Loaded new bbpress install in htdocs
5) Installed bbpress and changed bbpress folder name to forum
6) Loaded new bbpress into plugins/buddpress/bp-forums
7) Used Buddypress – Forum Set Up in Dashboard to set up bbpress.
**still mia**
Went to Groups>Admin – Turned “Enable Forums” off refreshed then “Enable Forums” back on and refreshed.

BINGO! It’s working.

ok, i looked on the frontend of the site and have the buddypress menu on the top.
” My account, notifications, Chat “

Under ” my account ” i have “groups”>>my groups and invites

If i go to “groups” i cant find a way to create any group either.
See picture: http://yfrog.com/3zwpprobl2j

But where can i create groups?

thanx in advance

@sagelives Try deactivating and activating forum for the group again(from Group->admin->settings), sometime It happens, If it is not solved, please do provide errorlog

@supermario
It is not available in the wp-admin. Check the front end of your site. If you are using bp-default theme, you will see a group link in the top menu . Click on that and you will see options to create.

HI again and thanx for supporting,
I really dont see where u say i can find the ” groups” in my admin panel of wordpress site.
See picture, where should i go exactly to find this though i cant find anything in the logical place for me to look, as in “Buddypress>>Forums setup”

see picture:

Please advice.

hey @r-a-y no prob.
@scotm looking forward to hear if it works or not.

that’s easy to do. I had posted a solution for showing all the fields from all the profile groups on a buddypress install which is here
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/RLreXE7X

You just need to modify the while loop, well, I have already modified it.
here you go
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/0GeJKXUj
Let me know if it works for you or not

@r-a-y
“It should work on WPMU, just activate the plugin on the blog where BuddyPress is active.”

Any way to get it to count comments members make on another member’s blog? (not just the main blog)

Hey @sbrajesh, you’re right! Sorry about that! Was thinking off the top

hi @r-a-y is_site_admin() and is_admin() are very different. is_admin() checks whether you are inside wordpress admin or not.
@scotm
How about making the activity of admin user private
`add_filter(“bp_activity_hide_sitewide_before_save”,”make_admin_activity_private”,10,2);
function make_admin_activity_private($hide_sitewide,$activity){
//get the current activity
if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’))//user is admin
return 1;
else
return $hide_sitewide;

}
`
Hopefully the code goes through this forum.
