Sorry about the double post! like i said…site was goin a little crazy on me last night
Thanks so much mercime i really appreciate it and cant wait to show the site once it’s done
2 quick questions…
Should I assume that full width pages are a no go? 
lol
and will the changes finally show once all the pages have been edited?
@ginreviews WP/BP versions? Are you using bp-default child theme, WP/BP Template pack or custom BP theme? Is this a new install or is it an existing install with registration going bonkers recently?
Tried this plugin and it worked ok : https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-activity-as-blog-comments/
It did not work on sub blogs as it was making bad links for the reply, favorite, and remove favorite buttons. I type this out into my bp-custom.php file and now it all works fine :
`//fix replying to activity streams on sub blogs
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_favorite_link’,’fix_activity_link’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link’,’fix_activity_link’,10,2);
add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_comment_form_action’,’fix_activity_link’,10,1);
function fix_activity_link($link,$setting=’none’){
$root = $_SERVER;
$pos = strpos($link, ‘/activity/’);
$length = strlen($link);
$fixed_link = ‘http://’ . $root . substr($link,$pos,$length);
return $fixed_link;
}`
hi, I extended the group steps/tabs using the api that buddypress provides in it’s documentation and everything is working perfectly except for one thing, when i click the tab i created the page loads a different template than the one i have in my theme/groups/single/home.php.
Why does this happen?, how can i prevent it?, what template is it loading?
bumpily bump. Need more feedback.
I can just remove displaying and entering WordPress comments, display an activity stream for only that blog, and create a text box that submits to the stream, but if there is already a proper way that integrates with WordPress I would prefer that. With my method the dashboard view would show no comments while the site view would show a stream of comments.
Replace top part with this
`
Download the BP template files transferred to your active WP theme folder in server down to your computer hard drive.
We start with /activtiy/index.php – open with text editor. At the top of the file, replace
`
`
with
<?php
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>
then at the bottom of the activity/index.php file replace
`
`
with
`
`
I am using a word press template and have already integrated buddy press to match the template on the rest of the site.
However, in order to change some things, a moderator suggested I create a child theme of the BP-default. I read over the instructions linked to at http://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/ but felt concerned because it sounds like I’m creating a brand new theme based on the default instead of just changing my integrated buddypress theme that already has all the features of the wp template. I am fearful the child theme process would basically require me to recreate the wp template from scratch on buddypress which needless to say I could not do.
What I’m ultimately trying to do is access the forums/index.php in order to remove line 35-36 and take out the Tags(comma separated) box on the forums page. I was told to create a child theme to do this but Is there some other way I can access this .php file and make such changes?
Hello,
Just looking to get my current WordPress theme compatible with BuddyPress. Ran through the BP template plugin and kinda got hung up on step 3. Was hoping someone could help me do one example for one of the index.php files and I could probably go from there 
I’m not sure how compatible (or if it even looks good lol) BP is with a full-width page, so I put it in the post just in case. Let me know what you think
Normal Page With Sidebar:

I had some trouble getting this post up last night so hopefully it worked now lol
Hi
I’ve just installed this plugin and the quote functionality so far. My theme adds the ‘quote’ button, but the quote doesn’t appear in the reply box. Can someone help me fix please?
Thanks

Upon further investigation I decided to replace the compose.php loaded from BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1.3 with the compose.php template from the default BuddyPress theme.
This fixed the problem.
Thanks to everyone who looked into this problem.

I have the same wish , use more 2-3 fields below TITLE and DESCRIPTION and wait until new Group Extras will be released , and use that as the main Group Description page (in wordpress dashboard ADMIN – setup the kind of form , in buddypress admin fill out the form which sends the data to description page to show up another 20-30 fields about every single group.
I’ve seen somewhere here on this forum the code which you can add to the function.php which adds one extra field (text field) to the that group in the first step of group creation below description , it showed up in Groups Description below description field , I have installed as a plugin but it didn’t show up in any place (groups directory-groups page), so I didn’t know how to display that and I have uninstalled it . I don’t remember where you can find it , try to search for that here ” groups extra field, add field groups, etc.
@Alan, or can someone please help me look at this code to know if something is wrong, have tried it and everything seems ok if the member did not add the “country field” as it shows the link and take you to the edit page, but immediately you input the field “Country” e.g “UK” and save, it breaks both Admin bar and the Sidebar.
You seem to be using older version of BuddyPress/ Bp-theme.
Upgrade your BuddyPress(and also the theme if you are using a different theme than bp-default). This is happening because the jquery included in wp3.2 is jquery v 1.6.1(which changed the way some of the properties are accessed).
You will need to upgrade your BuddyPress to 1.2.9.
Upgrade the BP and It will be fixed.
Hi all,
I am facing a very nagging problem although not serious. I am using WordPress 3.2.1 and BuddyPress 1.2.9. After logging out, if the user pressed back button in the browser he/she can still see the information which the user sees after logging in. Although the session is expired. I think the problem is somewhere with page expiration. Is anyone else facing same problem?
Thank you Gorges, but I already activated the invite anyone. It needs email addresses; what I want is for users to be able to search for other members on multiple criteria and to invite them. With 10.000 members you don’t want your users to have to scroll through the whole list to find someone.
I’m not a developper but with some reasoning I reckon it must be simple to use the profile form. I put a lot of fields there as required and text becomes links as well. You could let a search and invite feed on the profile information.
Nothing like that available?
And how difficult will it be to create a plugin like that?
Hi. I upgraded to the latest WP version. I am using Buddypress as well. I am getting the below error :
Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::WPDB() in /home/psivait/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 144
Pls help me at the earliest. I am not a techie guy to explore more on this!

Hello! Just wondering if I could get some help getting started on converting the BuddyPress Template files to match the ones of my theme
I’m not sure if BuddyPress is compatible (or looks good lol) with a full width screen setup so I’ve got both codes.
Any assistance would be great…Thanks a bunch!
Normal Page:
<?php
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>
post_excerpt ) && get_post_meta( $post->ID, $shortname.’_show_excerpt’, true ) == ‘on’ ) { ?>
Full Page:
<?php
/* Template Name: Full Width */
global $shortname;
get_header();
?>
post_excerpt ) && get_post_meta( $post->ID, $shortname.’_show_excerpt’, true ) == ‘on’ ) { ?>
Hello,
I have many sites and many different themes on my my multisite install, I was wondering how to replace blog comments functionality with the BuddyPress stream on these themes.
Thanks,
