BuddyPress.org

From the Plug-In:

You will need to change the HTML structure in the BuddyPress templates that you copied into your theme to match the structure in your page.php or index.php file. The files that you need to edit are as follows (leave out any folders you have not copied over in step two):

* /activity/index.php

* /blogs/index.php

* /forums/index.php

* /groups/index.php

* /groups/create.php

* /groups/single/home.php

* /groups/single/plugins.php

* /members/index.php

* /members/single/home.php

* /members/single/plugins.php

* /registration/register.php

* /blogs/create.php

* /registration/activate.php

Check the settings page of wp-fb connect, you should tick a box which enables some buddypress stuff and fixes the problem with usernames.

Are you using the latest version of BP?

There was a ticket about this:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1753

If this problem still persists, please reopen the ticket.

You can login to Trac with the same login credentials you use here on bp.org.

Thanks r-a-y, this potentially answers my https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/creating-tos-hurdles forum post. Need to investigate further.

Try logging into the WP backend. Navigate to “BuddyPress > General Settings”.

Under “Full Name Field Name”, change this from the default “Name” to whatever you want.

@mrjarbenne

You need to create a custom function for outputting your questions and another one to validate your questions.

function my_custom_questions() {

// your questions would go here - would be an input field of some kind



// eg.

echo '<label for="my_question">Please enter something for this new field</label>';

echo '<input type="text" name="my_question" id="my_question" value="" />';

}

add_action('bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'my_custom_questions');



function my_custom_validation() {

// here you'd check the submitted input fields, you'd probably do a check to see if the question is blank, if not return an error message



// would be something like this:



global $bp;



// checking if an input field of "my_question" is blank

if ( $_POST['my_question'] == "" ) {

$bp->signup->errors['my_question'] = 'You must type in something for the field "my_question".';

}

}

add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'my_custom_validation');

I’m a bit confused: what exactly is missing from the lifestream plugin that it is not suited for this purpose?

This plugin (s2Member) now has Buddypress support. Haven’t tested it yet, but it looks very promising.

You need to update the homepage in the WP Admin Settings this is exactly what I did for my BuddyPress site http://ipadalicious.com. Login into your admin area: Go to settings and Click on reading – and under Front page displays page. Then:

1. Select A static page (select below)

2. Then select Activity Stream in the Front page: drop down list

3. Then click save changes and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps.

Tested it once, BP Template Pack activated does include the basic CSS necessary to style the different core components – http://svn.wp-plugins.org/bp-template-pack/trunk/bp.css

You could customize template pack’s css in your WP theme’s style.css to match say, link or background colors to match your theme

Btw, check the source view of your BP-enabled pages and see if the link to the bp.css from template pack is rendered there, it should be.

Upgrade to BP 1.0.3:

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress.1.0.3.zip

Then follow the rest of the steps.

As always, make a backup of your DB and filesystem before proceeding.

Login to your WordPress dashboard and click on BuddyPress on the left hand side. You will see a link called Profile Field Setup. This is where you create and edit your questions.

Hope that explains what you are looking for

Yes indeed! Works as advertised!

Hi, I’ve wordpress mu + buddypress last version and I try to use this plugin. I’ve installed without problem but it seems doesn’t work. I also try to rename the plugin directory.

For example when I insert a url like “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8OAF2cU6Xc” in the activity stream it remains only link. Like this http://madeintorino.com/members/admin/activity/1138

How can I do?

thanks

“we are hoping the WP3.0 convergence will be a real one…”

I can assure you, it is a “real” one. All of the functionality of MU is retained in 3.0. you know you can get a beta version,. right?

As to if it works better with wp wishlist…. like I said, the functionality is the same. The merging will force the plugins devs to account for the network of sites being enabled.

“Am i missing something? “

Yes. As stated in a few threads, the extra bp folders that are added to your theme, need to be edited. You have to open up those files, look for the div=content and change them to match your exisiting theme.

It’s mostly copy& paste grunt work. no css edits, just changing/adding any needed divs.

There’s tweetstream, facestream & bplink in plugins that covers most needs.

I was looking forward for lifestream.but those plugins cover it!

I am still confused as to what you are trying to accomplish. Do you want a full browser width admin bar but keep the title and links the same width as the page content? If so you don’t need to add a div. #wp-admin-bar is the full width of the browser. #wp-admin-bar .padder is coded to scale.
