BuddyPress.org

The updated version is currently ironing out bugs

You can see and track the development here: http://sandbox.ywamcloud.com

This site is using our new under development P2 BuddyPress theme. The plugin now uses a template page system which allows site admins to choose a blog layout for their group. Currently the Magazine style is set as default.

We also added a lot of new option in the backend. In this group we share some more info and screenshots on that: http://sandbox.ywamcloud.com/screenshots/blog/

Feel free to tinker around. I cleaned up some old groups and blogs, but don’t be afraid to break anything. I’d appreciate some testing as there are plenty bugs out there with this new development.

@Anointed, I can actually honestly say I have no idea why the the_title would not show up, or the log errors. Can anyone confirm these errors in their logs as well? That would help localize. Hopefully upgrading in the future could help fix those issues.

Sorted.

You just need to insert !important in the CSS code just before the ; and it over-rides the original

I created the child page as per https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

added an img folder and new image in that folder.

in the css I put

#header {

background: url(full http url to new image.jpg ) !important ;

}

Thank you to both of you who pointed me in the right direction.

I think this “bp_core_get_username” is used only for one member. This doesn’t work on members-loop.php where it should list member names and avatars on the Members Directory.

The function should be something equivalent to

<?php bp_member_name() ?>

But instead of member nickname it should return login ids of members.

I just found the following custom function, but I wonder why this function is not built in by default.

The pagination-code was wrong.

Solution is here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-get-a-paged-activity-stream-instead-of-the-load-more

Marius, I did exactly this, but it didn’t work, until I found another thread. The problem was, that the links were shown, but they didn’t give a result. To solve thist, here’s what Andy said: “You either need to write the AJAX function to handle this (you should be able to copy something from one of the core components) or put a class=”no-ajax” on the surrounding div. “

So, using your funtion an adding the no-ajax class, my activity-loop.php in my child-theme now looks like this and it works. Thank you very much for your help!

<?php /* Querystring is set via AJAX in _inc/ajax.php - bp_dtheme_activity_loop() */ ?>

<?php do_action( 'bp_before_activity_loop' ) ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>

<?php /* Show pagination if JS is not enabled, since the "Load More" link will do nothing */ ?>

<div class="pagination">

<div class="no-ajax"><div class="pag-count"><?php bp_activity_pagination_count() ?></div>

<div class="pagination-links"><?php bp_activity_pagination_links() ?></div>

</div></div>

<?php if ( empty( $_POST['page'] ) ) : ?>

<ul id="activity-stream" class="activity-list item-list">

<?php endif; ?>

<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>

<?php include( locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), false ) ) ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php if ( bp_get_activity_count() == bp_get_activity_per_page() ) : ?>

<noscript><li class="load-more">

<?php _e( 'Load More', 'buddypress' ) ?>   <span class="ajax-loader"></span>

<?php endif; ?></noscript>

<?php if ( empty( $_POST['page'] ) ) : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

<?php else : ?>

<div id="message" class="info">

<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter.', 'buddypress' ) ?></p>

</div>

<?php endif; ?><div class="pagination">

<div class="no-ajax"><div class="pag-count"><?php bp_activity_pagination_count() ?></div>

<div class="pagination-links"><?php bp_activity_pagination_links() ?></div>

</div></div>

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_activity_loop' ) ?>

<form action="" name="activity-loop-form" id="activity-loop-form" method="post">

<?php wp_nonce_field( 'activity_filter', '_wpnonce_activity_filter' ) ?>

</form>

You can see it running on http://netzkritzler.de.

The last page is not shown, I don’t know why, but that doesn’t really matter.

We’re a little bummed that we didn’t get to launch with 1.2, but during full-blown development (we contracted a small firm to have this version developed) 1.1.3 was the only stable version. There’s a lot of custom work above-and-beyond WPMU & BuddyPress design-wise, so I’m pretty sure 1.2 would break the theme. I’ll have to install a clone soon to see exactly what will happen when we apply the upgrade to 1.2.

We’ll be looking for a developer to join our team soon, but its slim pickings right now (how many people want to join yet another web startup with a barebones budget?). Hopefully we’ll get lucky and find someone passionate about our product!

Down the line there are a ton of things we want to add, especially in the forums department (BP forums are severely lacking in comparison to offerings like IPB, etc). Even rich text options are missing right now, let alone the ability to insert images and embed video — there may be plugins out there but I’m not aware of any right now that work for 1.1.3.

Hello Ray, I hope you’re around

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO Follow:

” Making Your Theme BuddyPress Compatible”

So, I can add support for BuddyPress to the existing “sliding door” WordPress theme that I have selected in marinprofessionals.com….they say it can be a straightforward process by following the setup instructions on the page…bellow is what I got:

Step One : Move Template Files

BuddyPress needs some extra template files in order to display its pages correctly. This plugin contains these extra templates, but right now they are in the plugin directory. They need to be inside your active theme directory to work correctly. First of all we can try moving them automatically, please click the button below to attempt to move the templates:

Step Two : Templates moved successfully!

The templates moved successfully! This is great news, BuddyPress templates are now in the correct position in your theme which means you can skip step two and move on to step three.

Step Three : Templates moved successfully!

Now that the template files are in the correct location, click through your site (you can come back to this page at any point). You should see a BuddyPress admin bar at the top of the page, try visiting some of the links in the “My Account” menu. You should find that BuddyPress pages now work and are displayed.

BUT

I don’t see the words buddypress on the website marinprofessionals… so I was hoping you help me see what I am doing wrong….

yeah I’m just going to have to them it seperately. lol I was just trying to save myself some work…figured i’d ask…anyway thanks for the great post man and that welcome pack plugin looks great.
