BuddyPress.org

Travel Junkie,

I’m using 2.9.2 with the buddypress default theme. I’m having no luck. I paste you code on my functions.php file and nothing! any suggestions?

I am running version 1.2.2.1, which is the latest per this site. I deactivated all Buddypress plug-ins, then deactivated BuddyPress and the activation email gets sent. As soon as I activate BuddyPress again and attempt to create a new account, no e-mail is sent. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have installed this plug-in to my BuddyPress 1.2.2.1 & WPMU 2.9.2. I have got my Twitter API keys and copied those into the two required Tweetstream setting fields. I post an update on my BuddyPress site and it shows up on my Twitter feed. However, if I post something on my Twitter feed, there’s nothing on my BuddyPress site, even after 5, 10 minutes.

I saw that this version of TweetStream has crons set up to pull feeds from Twitter, correct? What am I doing wrong then?

@etiviti – cheers for plugging the plugin

Any news on getting the buttons enabled with my plugin.

Also my plugin uses standard bbcode (the _CK_ buttons use [*] for list items, whilst mine use [li] ) – reason being is that [*] is not picked up by the wordpress API

If you need any help I’m sure I could get _CK_s buttons in for you.

Cheers

Yes, you need to install BuddyPress first.

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/

Then you can try enabling your current theme and using the BP Template Pack plugin.

You have to create a link from the links directory.

eg. example.com/links

Check out the /plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-filter.php file

All the default filters for forum posts can be found there.

Hi jozik,

If there’s one MAJOR thing all my users struggle with is that WPML doesn’t remember the preferred language for the logged in BuddyPress user. I think that when the user logs in, he/she should be redirected to his preferred language. This should not be browser dependent as far as language sniffing goes, because many communities are filled with internationals living in other countries.

Rather it would be essential for the user to set their preferred language in their bp user settings. This is also better than cookies in case the user logs in from a different computer.

Is this an option that could possible included?

…Embeddable maps can be done using my plugin Buddypress Maps.

I made it to be easily integratable into others plugins.

Try adding the following line to wp-config.php:

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

For more info, read this:

BP-Links: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/

Can do what you want. Once you create a link, it gets added into the activity stream.

You can use mlovelock’s suggestion or you can also change the labels with a language file:

Here is a solution that might make everyone happy: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/requst-featured-forums

-Create a way to “Feature” select forums

-Create an option to make the group hidden, and remove the “by commenting you will automatically be added to the group” sentence.

Didn’t the latest buddypress update resolve this?

Ok I’ve installed the latest update.. Everything seems to be running fine, but I’m having trouble with settings this up.. What are the steps I need to take?

I’m having a custom child theme with BP 1.2 and WPMU btw.

1: Installed the plugin, and enable the languages I would like to use.

2: Add .mo files to a certain folder? How can BP be translated automatically? I don’t really get this

3: Translate my Theme.. (I think I get this)

4: Translate my pages/posts (This works fine, no problem here)

A Step by Step setup guide would be really helpful, I feel a bit lost in WPML

Hi Jozik,

That’s very good news! I haven’t tried WPML for BuddyPress yet (I only started using BP from 1.1, and WPML did not work for me then), but it’s critical for my upcoming project.

What I “need” from the plugin is the following:

1: A way to let the user switch languages globally. So if he or she is Spanish, she can set the language to Spanish and BuddyPress + theme strings are in Spanish. This seems the exact point of the plugin, so that should be possible I guess?

2: Allow the user to view blogs in the WPMU network in their language (navigation elements and widgets etc).

3: Maybe some kind of automatic detection of the browser language, so the site is in the right language on the first visit.

4: A way to let my moderators/authors add/edit strings in the backend (I think WPML allows this as well, but I’m new to the plugin, so forgive me ).

I’m looking forward to it, and if you need/accept donations just let me know, I’m happy to contribute!

Take care,

Bowe

Also consider all of the amazing extra functionality you get by using a group as a container.

For example on the new BuddyPress.org forums there is a group called “How-To and Troubleshooting” that replaces the existing plain forum of the same name. By switching this to a group forum I also get:

• A dedicated activity stream so users can easily track new topics and replies in chronological order.
• A dedicated list of people who have posted to the forum so you can gauge popularity or send out notices to only those who are interested.
• Ability to extend and add features like a group blog, where members could post helpful information or even videos on how to fix common problems. Or even a group wiki so specific help documentation could be kept up to date by group members. The list is endless, and the number of group extensions is starting to make groups super powerful.

<snip>so I can silence this discussion

that’s a bit dictatorial isn’t it, but it is your project

Not really, I just meant that when I show you the new buddypress.org forums people might actually finally get it.

I’ve said this so many times but here we go again:

How do I post to the “main” forum here? The answer is I can’t. I must first go to a sub-forum and then post to that forum. All the latest topics of each sub-forum are then shown on the front page.

Replace the word “sub-forum” with “group” in the above sentence and you are describing exactly how group forums work in BuddyPress. There is no need to join a group before posting to a group forum, the process is automatic.

The blocker in people’s mind is simply just the way the information is displayed. Once I get the new buddypress.org forums running then this will hopefully help people understand there is literally no difference outside of the interface.
