@Alan, i will try it and if i run into any problem , i will let you know.

This probably would be better as a feaure request over on trac :
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
I’m assuming you are looking to get this done as a change to BuddyPress not just a custom edit or plugin right?
Ok, this thing wont let me edit my last post…anyway, I said that the thing screwing with my autocomplete was the “Buddypress Sitewide activity widget” plugin….but what I didn’t said is that actually is the Buddypress Sitewide activity widget V 1.1.3 was the problem!….I installed the lastest version (1.1.3.1) and the autocomplete works great! 
cheers!
Hello!!
I would like to add something here!
I had the same problem….the autocomplete not working was driving me crazy….really….and after lots of days (and eternal nights) of suffer and horror I found the problem!!!
!!
So in my case the cause was a plugin called “Buddypress Sitewide activity widget”…..why?, I don’t really know yet…..but this for all those who need an alternative answer for their autocomplete problems
!
Cheers!
When you activate a BuddyPress-compatible theme, like BuddyPress Default, you will see a Members tab at the top of the screen. That is the public Members Directory, where users can browse or search.
`So no plugins to be able to invite people other than the not working one which says when trying to install that it has not been tested yet for my version of WP?`
There is a plugin called Invite Anyone that provides several for group and site invitations: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/ It is compatible with the latest WP and BP. The only reason it doesn’t list its compatibility in the WP repo is because WP requires me to release a new version of the plugin in order to update its compatibility, and I have no good reason to do this. Without Invite Anyone, group members can only invite Friends to the group.
I want to enable private messaging on a site where it was formerly disabled. I went ahead and did that, but when I visit the URL http://www.site.com/messages, I get page not found.
I am using BP template pack, and I noticed that /messages/ is not among the directories it copies to the theme folder. I see /bp-messages/ in my BuddyPress plugin directory. Should I rename the folder “messages” and copy it to my theme directory, following the pattern of what BP Template Pack did to the other module directories?
Been scouring the forums and couldn’t find this anywhere…
I’m trying to make a plugin that takes a a blog post from a logged-in user and automatically adds it to their own BuddyPress Favorites list when they submit. The blog post writing stage is fine – I’m hacking a previous the user-submitted-posts WordPress plugin. However, I’m having trouble working out how to programmatically add the submitted post to the BuddyPress favorites.
After setting up the blog post vars into $postData, they get inserted with:
`$newPost = wp_insert_post($postData);`
$newPost is then set to the blog post ID, however I can’t find a BuddyPress function to return the activity ID, based on that blog post ID. If there is one I can then use that in the bp_activity_add_user_favorite call. Have I missed something in the BuddyPress functions?
We’re running WordPress 3.2 and BuddyPress 1.2.9 using BuddyPress Template Pack 1.1.3
When I compose a message I enter all the fields – Send To; Subject and Message.
When I send the message I get…
There was an error sending that message1, please try again
I found where this message originates in the BuddyPress message.php template. There are three places. I added a 1, 2, 3 to see which one is causing the problem.
The 1 is for the a missing subject or content. After sending the message and when the error messages appears the subject field remains filled in, but the content field is blank. For some reason the content field is being wiped out and seen as empty.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Art
Thanks, not sure what I was googleing for before but i have now found a buddypress theme switcher plugin
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/advanced-theme-switcher
however i can’t get it to work and their forums are only for paying members
Still i’m a bit closer then I was before!
@Andrea_r Yes, I understand that the link is the activation. But where is the activation code that its asking me to enter…
As I stated in previous posts…..
when I click the link, I am sometimes taken to a page where im asked to enter a activation key. But there is no activation key in the email. Just a link.
Clicking the link doesn’t add the activation code in the input field does it? Where is the email with the activation code that needs to be entered in to input
Hi,
I´m running a Spanish site with WP (3.2.1. [ES]) + Buddypress (1.2.9. – with uploaded spanish language file). It all seems fine (save for a word here and there that´s still in English). The problem is with the activity feed: when seen on a reader, the Spanish Accents are turned into strange caracters. My blog entry feed is fine; but many of my members suscribe to the activity feed, and some even put it on their site. Any thoughts on how I can fix this?
@Andrea_r Nope, cant post a link cause its not live yet and client would freak.
Here’s what happens.
I get an email. It contains an activation link. If I click that link, sometimes im taken to a page that asks for an activation key to be entered in to an field. But I never received an activation key.
@Andrea_r so youre saying there are two emails? One with the link and another with the key?
If thats the case, Why does one email come through with the link and the other doesnt?
Thanks.
Switch your theme to the default one included with buddypress and then try those tasks again.
nearest I can think of is a theme switcher widget (yes, they exist all over the plugin repo) and t won’t be labelled buddypress-specific.
this will get you close. you’ll have to test because you might get wonky results. And tell the client he’s not gonna get all he wants. ;)P
Is it possible to have companies pay to advertise on your buddypress page? I am not sure how I could incorporate that. Anyone have any ideas or are able to do that?
Im working for new plugin (framework) for building web services ,this allows expose functionality of wordpress, buddypress or any other functions to other web sites and desktop applications. It is similar to the APIs provided by sites like Flickr and Twitter
.
@4ella is right. After BuddyPress 1.3 will be released, I will update my BP Groups Extras.
Hi, I am reskinning a buddypress site for a client but they want to give users the choice between viewing the old site and the new site so they can see which people prefer.
To do this I would like to build the new site as a fresh install (the original version is now a mess!) and create a second theme that looks like the old site. So I have two main questions
1 – Can I put a button on the front end of the site to allow the users to toggle between the two themes? or even just an option in their dashboard would do.
2 – on the ‘old site theme’ is it possible for me to just hardcode into the theme the widgets/profile pages etc they would see so they wouldn’t get any of the new site functionality
Or if anyone has any better ways I can allow people to swap between the two versions all suggestions are welcome. I blame facebook and twitter for putting the idea in the clients head 
I have the same needs , to add new fields to the groups, @slaffik has developed Groups Extras which gives you new fields but problem is that you have to create the form for every single group again and again , so you will spend a lot of time with creating the form where you can add unlimited fields (this is nice) , I asked him to create only one or more forms in admin dashboard and to add this form to groups creation single page (group description page) , he has said that he will release new version with BP 1.3 . In the meantime when the upgraded plugin will be released I would welcome to add some new fields to the group creation below Title and Description as you have suggested.
I couldn’t get this theme to work with the latest trunk version of BP from a few days ago. I stuck the theme in the both /wp-content/themes/ and in /plugins/buddypress/themes/, and everything, but WP would never pick it up. 
I found a workaround by making all new members automatically member of a “member directory” group. That way they can see all other members. Unfortunately there’s no search attached which means when you have a lot of members it will be very difficult if not impossible to find somebody. There is a search under “invite to the group” but it’s not working.
so you’d want users to have to a authenticate twice? What is the reasoning behind this? I don’t see why that would be beneficial
How do I get the notifications BuddyPress display that users comment on my post.
that works for all users.
Help me and the authors of the posts have no way of knowing when their post comment.
