Merci beaucoup Mercine
C’est bon!
All good now…
I was nearly there with my edits but not quite & I was confused as I kept checking via adminbar during the edits but it all only woked after all the edits were complete. Magnifique!
Thanks very much for your very helpful reply-now I need to see what features I want to enable & configure & explore BuddyPress-looking forward to it…
Best wishes
Richard
Thank you @shapherd and @Stigmartyr

What i want is:
News*
Profile
Activity
Friends
etc
I also would like to know how you take one out
Thank you for your time and help. I greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you have a possible solution or anything else that might help 
Just as a sanity check have you got the setting turned on to allow groups?
Under components have you turned enabled Groups: Let users create, join and participate in groups.
Are you signed in as admin or signed in as a user and does it make a difference to seeing group creation?
If you have a little more information would be great such as what version of BuddyPress / WordPress you are using and also the theme you are using? Does the problem happen with all plugins turned off (I know it can be a pain but it’s good to sanity check them)? Also maybe you can provide a link to your site?
In IIS Manager, go to the virtual directory and click right / properties, there you can go to the documents tabs and set up the “enable default content page” to index.php
IMHO Apache runs circles around IIS, on our win2k8 server we’re running apache and php instead.
This article might also help you translate .htaccess to an IIS webconfig, too (if needed) :http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/translate-htaccess-content-to-iis-webconfig/
As an M$ engineer IIS is not something I would rather rely on for production sites unless you have M$’s budget to just throw more servers at the load and be able to deal with a few coming off the rails while you sort things out (yes even in IIS7). That’s why I’m a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) admin when it comes to things I own and care about.
If you’re not planning to be working with ASP or need active directory integration with desktop PCs, and that sort of thing there’s no need for it. I say let WordPress run on it’s native environment.
Does that code replace the previous default or is that in addition to the code?
Sounds like the search feature is designed to query things one way, maybe the search needs to be modified too?. Does this issue match anything reported in the bug database for Buddypress?
I’m stabbing in the dark here.
If you want to change the actual names of the links, I did this by editing the language .pot file
But I’m not sure if that is the recommended method. I wanted to change My Blogs to My Sites:
For 1.2.9, translate the po file from buddypress/bp-languages directory.
Save the translation as buddypress-en_US.mo [if your local is en_US) else buddypress-your_Locals.mo in the bp-languages directory and you will be done.
Poedit is a great tool for translation.
I see @naijaping but but where would i implement that code?? in the functions.php??
So the site i’m working is called CaraDaCapoeira.com. The buddypress theme provides me with a group function that I can’t do much with really but can be utilized for site groups like “Capoeira Rocks” or something like that. What I need now is to be able to have another “groups” section for Capoeira Schools across the world. I have 700 in excel files and would like to know what the best way to implement this other “groups” section on my buddypess site to be seperate from the groups that came with the general buddypress installation. It will need to show a Photo, group info, phone number, location, instructor etc. I suppose i could use the group page template and just copy it but not quite sure what to do after that. I’m certain i’d have to alter the database but i’m just not sure the best way to go about doing it and what functions to to copy and adjust in order to get this done.
Any and all help is welcome. I’m using WP v 3.2.1 and buddypress 1.2.9
Hi,
is there any way to alter the column widths in BP?
I am using: BuddyPress Social 1.2.7 by Richie KS – BuddyDress
I would like to make the two side columns narrower and the centre column wider
Any help appreciated
@RPD If you mean this theme, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/animass, then we’ll use the WP page.php file as guide in the transformation.
Open up the activity/index.php file transferred to your anIMass folder in server. At the top, replace:
`
`
with
`
`
At the bottom of the same file, replace:
`
`
with
`
`
Save and then do the same for the remaining files https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/#revise-templates
@boonebgorges
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into their documentation to see if anything similar exists. JS is still a whole new world for me 
Hi all!
I’ve been playing around with various visual editors these last few weeks, trying to get one to function properly in all the textareas of a new site I’m putting together. I finally settled on CKEditor for it’s customization options and THOROUGH documentation: http://cksource.com/ckeditor http://docs.cksource.com/
It works flawlessly in comment/reply forms, forum topic post/reply/edit forms and a members-only front-end blog-post form using GravityForms (I suspect it would work just as well with TDO-Mini-Forms too).
Here’s the only hiccup I can’t figure out: I can get the editor to display and all features working in the what’s-new post form as well as activity reply textareas but, any time I click “Submit”, I get the “Please enter some content to post” message.
Has anyone gotten this to work well in the activity stream? If so, would you be kind to a now-almost-hairless gentleman by sharing your wisdom?
Just to be clear, I’m working with the full CKEditor, not the BP plugin: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/bpckeditor/
I sorted the standard & custom menu issue! Basically I have uploaded a newly named theme that is a composite of my anIMass theme with BuddyPress template files which I am editing to fix page layout issues. However I had forgotten to reapply custom nav menu settings to this new composite theme!
Phew! It gets a bit complicated editing files on localhost & server & I forgot to check fully!
However I still do not have my page layout fixed fully yet so help to do that would still be very much appreciated. I remain hopeful for more helpful replies….
Still trying to sort page layout in my WPtheme conversion to BuddyPress.
I have also noticed that presently my theme shows stanadrd nav menu and not the custom menu I have enabled. Anyone any ideas on this? I will keep checking these issues but some reply with help would be greatly appreciated please?
Try using BuddyPress, I know groups can create events with the Jet Event system.
@davidtcarson Loving the theme updates! The theme is lookin fricken awesome.
I just noticed with the drop downs, the width of them aren’t automatically expanding to accommodate longer text (http://i51.tinypic.com/nwbthl.png)
Hi mercime
These are not souped up files!(just scrambled in the post in the comment box). I have posted both files @ pastebin
http://pastebin.com/HXxu48Rz
I am most grateful if anyone can integrate my theme index.php with bbprees/activity index.php
I look forward to helpful replies-many thanks
Looks like a souped up template file. What theme are you using? You can post code of your WP theme’s page.php at pastebin.com. Click submit and post generated URL here.
bp-default theme has default custom header support. Add this to your child theme’s functions.php file:
`// Disable bp-default theme’s custom header support
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );`
@naijaping
news, profile, friends, groups, places (custom page), events, projects(other custom page).
@naijaping I want to remove a couple of them ad add a few more…
There is this plugin, however its out dated. I’m going to create something similar in the future. No date set but it’s on my list of plugins to create
