BuddyPress.org

Hear hear to that last. I understand that developing Buddypress itself does and should take the bulk of Andy and JJJ (and ?)’s time, but I reckon buddypress.org could also use a useability refresh…

as erwin said, I also develop plugin for a hobbie not a work for living so can’t commit that plugin can update rapidly but I understand who waiting for use some good plugin too. I also waiting to use bp-event too after use it in bp 1.1 and it work very well so i hope to see that if erwin have a time he can lead to make others coorperate to develop the code.

grad to hear that andy will make a group for every plugin that everyone interest in the plugin can make suggestion or help to developer. i think if website had good infrasturction to let others help to develop plugin it will make buddypress grow faster.

I supplied code to get a toolbar working in forums here (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/html-and-formatting-buttonbar-for-forums-posts-code-inside). It works flawlessly on my installs and is easily extensible.

TinyMCE (thanks to Boone for working on it) is just too much of a pain in the butt, I’ve found.

I use a combination of r-a-y’s oembed, my toolbar, and Boone’s update of _ck_’s attachments plugin, and they work together just fine.

Copy over header.php from /plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/ to your theme’s folder.

Remove the forums link through there.

Hi Amy,

Try what is outlined here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forums-problem-cant-create-them#post-48134

f you think you can help me I sure would appreciate it. Cause I cannot figure this thing out – I have tried and tried.

YES, I moved the bp-default theme into wp-content – themes… okay I deleted it just now AND for a second I thought I was going to lose my blog posts – it looked like it in IE – I have deactivated the plug in buddy press and the buddy press template pack – and actually deleted them from the system. I do NOT understand php, but do understand css and html – I would really like to get this thing to work with my template currently. Can you help?

It does seem a go idea to open a new folder on my site and install my theme and wp and buddy press and buddy press theme pack – to get it to work first… however, I have a LOT of posts in my blog currently and they are permalinked all over the place . I cannot mess with the permalinks and the posts. Can I transfer them into a new theme folder on my site and not lose the permalinks – I think not.

You know I am beginning to wonder if this thing works at all. So muc for the three step easy install. Does it work at all?

OK, I’d rather keep this in the forums instead of in private messages because then other can benefit from the discussion if they have the same issues.

First, it’s never a good idea to muck around with a live site. Go and install XAMPP or MAMP and setup a test/development environment on your local PC. It’s super simple. I’m doing this right now as are many of the other BP users.

Second, Installing BP will not cause you lose any of your posts. The only reason you are going to lose post is if you delete them or you do something silly and end up corrupting your database. Go back to the first point I made – don’t develop on a live site. This applies to everything online, not just WP or BP.

Once you have the offline test site setup with WP (make sure you mirror the setup you have online or you’re not going to have the same issues) and your current theme installed, add the BP plugin. Then add the BP Template Pack plugin and start following the directions. @Modemlooper has commented in a number of threads here about what typically needs to be done to make your theme work with BP.

Do the work required to get your test site looking how you want it to look. On the testsite, install the plugins you currently use (one at a time to ensure none of them break BP) and make sure they work and look how you want them to look.

Once you have that done, add any new BP specific plugins you want to run (again, one at a time) and get them looking “right”.

Finally, go to your live site and find the Tools –> Export page. Export your live site data into a file and then import that data into your offline test site. This will allow you to ensure your existing posts/content will look OK.

Once you’re satisfied with everything offline on your testsite, start uploading to the live site. Upload the new theme (but don’t activate it), install (but don’t activate) any new plugins required (including BuddyPress).

Yes, BuddyPress works. No, it’s not going to work for every single user in every single possible combination of WP installations. You will need to do some work to resolve issues.

Well, you should be able to create pretty much everything you need in your theme’s functions.php file.

First you need to decide at what point you want to populate the fields. Find a hook in the code to attach to by looking for do_action(‘some_action_hook_name’) calls. In your functions.php file, make a new function and call something like:

add_action('some_action_hook_name','my_nifty_auto_pop_function');

Then create your nifty_auto_pop_function that fills in the xprofile fields you want to populate.

Look in the bp-xprofile directory for all of the different files/functions to help fill in and read profile fields.

I assume you’re talking about the oEmbed for BP plugin?

Adding a picture works great on the main activity feed but shows only the url on the profile page

This is the intention.

and the link does not work it seems cut off at the end.

This isn’t a problem with the plugin, but rather with the way BuddyPress parses text for the latest update.

Also replies to posts with pictures only show the url not the image

Works for me. Make sure you didn’t tamper with the bp-oembed-config.php file.

OK. I’m thinking you can do something like this. Find this part of the file in register.php:

<?php /***** Extra Profile Details ******/ ?>



<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) : ?>

<div class="register-section" id="profile-details-section">



<h4><?php _e( 'Profile Details', 'buddypress' ) ?></h4>



<?php /* Use the profile field loop to render input fields for the 'base' profile field group */ ?>

<?php if ( function_exists( 'bp_has_profile' ) ) : if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=1' ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>



<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

At this point, add in a line like:

if( (bp_the_profile_group != "3") || (bp_the_profile_group != "4") ) :

Then go down to this part of the file:

<?php endwhile; ?>



<input type="hidden" name="signup_profile_field_ids" id="signup_profile_field_ids" value="<?php bp_the_profile_group_field_ids() ?>" />



<?php endwhile; endif; endif; ?>



</div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

Before the first endwhile line, insert this:

<?php endif; ?>

I *think* that should spit out groups 3 & 4 (assuming you have groups 3 & 4 defined in your profile groups). You might need to add in group “1” also to get the Base. The only part I’m not sure about right now is if the number need to be in double quotes or just bare. So it might be:

if( (bp_the_profile_group != 3) || (bp_the_profile_group != 4) ) :

I think.

This bit:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="span-24" id="contentwrap">

<div class="span-16">

<div id="content">

Look at the buddypress files added to your theme. They will have just the content div. Add the other two and the closing divs.

I am interested in this as well.

For my site I had I bbPress forum before (now have BP forums!) and I was so frustrated with the poor options out there for a WYSYWIG solutions.

Many other bullettin boards provide editor that just works fine and are easy for everybody to use.

Thing is, I have the feeling that bbPess is more used by designers and developpers and within those communities, very few need a WYSYWIG.

But with BuddyPress we need to give users the possibility to easily post images and format text. And the least to ask is that it should work. I mean, not doing weird stuff when you push the post button, or when you want to edit what you already posted (i run into all kind of stuff, and I tried them all, on bbPress).

I didn’t try TinyMCE for BP yet. May give it a shot. But if anyone has figured out a proper solution for the “human user”, not the “developper user”, just report it here, please.

Hi MrMraz,

Great to have group links !

Is there be a way with 0.4 to move previously created links inside a group ?

There could be an option (checkboxes?) in the advanced settings allowing the user to post a link in a specific group

eric

link to a loggedin users profile <?php bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>

displayed user: <?php bp_displayed_user_domain() ?>
