Dang it, rich, you beat me to posting here! I found this error about 5 minutes ago and checked a new version into the repo.

Thanks so much for following up!

Here is my Sidebar which does exactly what you want: Show different sidebars on different BP sections of the site.. It does not work 100% (blog sidebar does not show up yet) but it should get you started. You use BP conditional tags to show/hide the different sidebars depending where the user is on the site:

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_sidebar' ) ?>



<div id="sidebar">



<div class="padder2">

<?php

locate_template( array( 'accordeon.php' ), true );

?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_inside_before_sidebar' ) ?>

<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_before_sidebar_me' ) ?>



<?php endif; ?>



<?php /* Show forum tags on the forums directory */

if ( BP_FORUMS_SLUG == bp_current_component() && bp_is_directory() ) : ?>

<div id="forum-directory-tags" class="widget tags">



<h3 class="widgettitle"><?php _e( 'Forum Topic Tags', 'buddypress' ) ?></h3>

<?php if ( function_exists('bp_forums_tag_heat_map') ) : ?>

<div id="tag-text"><?php bp_forums_tag_heat_map(); ?></div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>



<div class="padder3">



<?php if(bp_is_group()){

if(!dynamic_sidebar("Group Sidebar")){?>

<?php }

}

else if(bp_is_member()){

if(!dynamic_sidebar("Profile Sidebar")){ //if user profile etc

?>

<?php

}

}

else if(bp_is_blog_page() || bp_is_directory()){

if(!dynamic_sidebar("Blog Sidebar")){?>

<?php } }

else dynamic_sidebar( 'Sidebar' )?>

<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' ) ?>

</div>



<?php do_action( 'bp_inside_after_sidebar' ) ?>

<?php /* Show forum tags on the forums directory */

if ( BP_FORUMS_SLUG == bp_current_component() && bp_is_directory() ) : ?>

<div id="forum-directory-tags" class="widget tags">



<h3 class="widgettitle"><?php _e( 'Forum Topic Tags', 'buddypress' ) ?></h3>

<?php if ( function_exists('bp_forums_tag_heat_map') ) : ?>

<div id="tag-text"><?php bp_forums_tag_heat_map(); ?></div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!-- .padder -->

</div><!-- #sidebar -->



<?php do_action( 'bp_after_sidebar' ) ?>

Make sure to register the sidebars in your functions.php (of your child theme)

if (function_exists('register_sidebar')) {

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Blog Sidebar',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Profile Sidesbar',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Group Sidebar ',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Left Footer',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Middle Footer',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

register_sidebar(

array(

'name' => 'Right Footer',

'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',

'after_widget' => '</div>',

'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',

'after_title' => '</h3>',

)

);

}

any news about this? I think there are a few other threads about this subject …

Did you create a new page and apply that page template to it?

Though I woudl really go the route of using the widget logic plugin.

I know you just marked this as resolved, but isn’t the original question basically you wanted to use the My Page Order plugin to control how the tabs look in the default theme? The tabs with links to the BuddyPress areas?

Those are not page titles. Likely will never be seen as such.

If you want to restrict aces, then use a privacy plugin for BP.

The page ordering plugin shoudl still work just fine on the regualr WP pages, or when 3.0 comes out, you’ll have that functionality (if andy adds it to the theme).

Yes, you need to create a child theme of bp-default and then copy the activity/entry.php template into your child theme. You can then remove the commenting code from the template.

@DFA327, I did end up posting those errors over at your site as well.

The issue with the message appearing after hitting publish on posts has gone away.

The others still existed last I checked.

Just wanted to add I had the same conflict with Forum Attachments.

@anaxent

There’s really no need for individual albums. If you read through the other posts in this thread, you’ll see that every uploaded image will have tags associated with it. What that means is that the person uploading the images decides what “categories” each image falls into. As every image can have several tags, clicking on any tag (possibly in a tag cloud) will dynamically create an album containing all images with that tag.

Say, for example, I upload several images with the tag “Best of 2009”, some with “My Beach Holiday” and a few more with “Julie’s Wedding” and “Best of 2009”. If I click on the “Best of 2009” tag, I’ll get a dynamic “album” displayed containing all “Best of 2009” images and the ones from “Julie’s Wedding” that are also tagged “Best of 2009”.

As for “hot linked” video and other media, have you tried @MrMaz’s BuddyPress Links yet? Check it out, it’s worth it!

I’d rather use a widget conditional plugin like Widget Context or Widget Logic for the sidebar.

Widget Context is best for non-coders.

@Dfa327,

Hi, giving this plugin a whirl, and it’s pretty sweet. One thing I’ve noticed: It seems that any plugin using the generic group/single/plugins template (including all that use the Group Extension API) conflicts with chat.

I’ve noticed when using these plugins (Group Wiki, Invite Anyone, Group Documents), and you navigate to one of these pages, The chat window pops up and all online users are shown above the navigation. Not totally sure what’s causing this conflict, any ideas?

Thanks.

I wanted to cast my vote for this bug. Regardless of how we got here, it seems pretty clear that there are ‘friendship request accepted’ notifications that are not going away. Should this be filed as an open issue at trac.buddypress.org?

@Michael Berra

I’ll try to make more options in the future so you can customize the install of the chat. Like shoutbox only or full chat only and menu bar stuff too.

@Kunal17

There’s a bunch of css styles that get loaded, facebox, rounded corners, etc. If you look in the bp-chat/bp-chat-cssjs.php you can pick and choose which ones your don’t want loaded.

@randomcatastrophe

Please posts errors on my site as I don’t troll this site much at all. I did a bunch of bug fixes so my guess is that solves your issues above.

Thanks,

Dave

BP-default must reside with the rest of Buddypress. Your best bet is to create a child theme and install your plugins onto that. https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

On wp single, when viewing a single link the filter “Show link votes” doesn’t display the link votes. Only “Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter”. It works on the activity stream except when viewing a single link.
