BuddyPress.org

Whoever is working on buddypress.org probably knows this, but just in case…

On the page http://buddypress.org/support/topics/ there are links to “By Group” and “My Topics”. These links are broken (404).

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. I installed wordpress/buddypress. Problem is that when I try to log into my site through zone2x.com I get the following error message: Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server. Web Server at zone2x.com.

But I can get into the site through zone2x.com/index.php but when I try to return to the home page from any other page I get the same error.

Pls note that the index.php file is right there at the root directory, I can see it through ftp.

I think the problem is with the permalink. When permalink is at default permalink the browser can see index.php and everything is ok except that buddypress can not work with the default permalink. Once I change permalink as requested by buddypress I can no longer log into the site from the browser.

Someone, help am desperate. My site is still http://www.zone2x.com.

Is it possible to set up two user levels within BuddyPress (user and moderator) and then prevent users from sending messages to other users, but allow them to send messages to and from moderators?

Thanks

I was looking for a simple forums plugin to add to a wordpress site and initially I tried bbPress, which seemed to meet my requirements very well.

Unfortunately when I discovered that it lacked private messaging, I was pointed in the direction of BuddyPress with the instruction to install it and then turn off any extras that I don’t need.

I’ve installed it, it works okay, so now I need to ‘turn off the extra bits’ – this is the part I need help with!

A bit of background about the site, it’s going to be support for patients receiving medical treatment, so they can discuss their treatment with other patients and also send private messages with their clinician.

As these people may not be too computer-savvy, it needs to be as simple as possible to use, with all unnecessary features turned off / hidden.

Also, as it’s discussing sensitive information it needs to be as anonymous as possible, so real names, avatars, identifying information etc, needs to be kept hidden.

I’ve looked and can’t find a general guide to ‘cutting down’ BuddyPress, the administration is quite limited to what is hidden and shown, so I presume I may have to go on a function by function basis.

Here’s the list of things which I would like to remove:

1. Real Names
2. Avatars (remove display of them all and options to change)
3. Only admin can create groups
4. Think the random ‘visit’ on top right of the bar might be confusing
5. Search box in the BuddyPress pages – is this duplicating the searchbox in the main site navigation?
6. I’m also little unsure of whether the Activities / Members / Groups / Forums navigation also unnecessarily duplicates the top admin bar. If I was just to have one link to go straight into the most important page, would it be ‘Groups’ for me?

If there is a guide to removing some of these things, please let me know, if not, I would appreciate help on a step by step basis!

Thanks

Just installed 1.5 Beta on a Local Site, whats cool is I had all my other plugins disabled to if something went wrong, I can just activate my other buddypress plugin (1.2.9)

Anyway, when I activate 1.5 beta I get this error:

`Warning: require(/home/content/47/6114047/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-update.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/47/6114047/html/wp-content/plugins/Buddypress 1.5-beta-1/bp-loader.php on line 82

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/content/47/6114047/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/admin/bp-core-update.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/47/6114047/html/wp-content/plugins/Buddypress 1.5-beta-1/bp-loader.php on line 82`

Could this ^^ have something to do with my other Buddypress Version Installed? It’s not activated, of coarse, but I would guess not.

I uploaded via zip, clean install, installed more than once. For some reason it’s having trouble reading the files.
