BuddyPress.org

Or, just keep the wp-adminbar and add this to your style.css to hide the login link

ul.main-nav li.bp-login { display: none; }

Or, go to Dashboard, BuddyPress > General Settings and check Yes for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?“

this is not a plugin? this is a script of it’s own.

Wow! That is sweet. It’s working fine for me in firefox as well. This would totally be a awesome plugin.

Hello, I just upgraded my Buddypress. Now I am having problems creating groups and cannot create forums. When I delete the group to start over, it still says I have groups, but does not list them in the groups directory. My problem creating groups happens at this link http://fashionsblogs.com/groups/create/step/group-avatar/ when you click next is when an error occurs

Is there a way to have both the blog and buddypress sitemap plugins work together? so that the sitemap.xml file includes the bp-sitemap.xml file?

Or is having the file pinged to the search engines enough?

Here’s an old thread with an initial stab at your question:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/dos-and-donts-of-server-setups

I’ve responded on your other thread:

First of all, an Error 500 (internal server error) message usually means something is not working properly with one of the software components on you server. It is not directly a WordPress or BuddyPress issue.

I’m guessing it’s an issue with your PHP install. Forcing the server to run PHP 5 instead of 4 may do the trick–assuming your site is being served under PHP 4. This is just an initial guess. See these threads for more detail:

However, there could be something else causing the problem. What you need to do is distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator. Make sure WordPress is working fine by itself before installing BuddyPress. To do that, you deactivate all other plugins and test WP by itself. If it is working without issue, then you reinstall BP and activate. You should not have any other plugins besides BP activated and you should be using the default theme that comes with BP when testing.

By the way, I suggest doing a clean install of BuddyPress. This means making sure the entire BP directory is removed and then starting over with a clean install of BP. Of course, as always, backup any data before you do any upgrades or reinstalls.

If you do not have any issues with WP running only the BP plugin using the default BP theme, then you know it has something to do with a custom theme, one of your other plugins, or some combination of the two.

You then start going back up the ladder one step at a time. Switch the default BP theme to your custom theme. Does the problem return? It not, then is has to do with your plugins. Activate one plugin at a time until the issue returns.

But, with an Error 500, I’m guessing it is something outside of WP and BP causing the issue. Show the links above to your hosting firm. They are the only ones that can help you.

Also, as another resource, search the WordPress forums to see if anyone there has reported a similar issue.

I don’t know of any existing efforts to customize group images or backgrounds, but it does sounds like a good idea for a plugin. Using the group exension API (https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/) it’s fairly easy to add another page to the group admin menu. You could call this menu “Display options” and let group mods change settings. You’re plugin could then check the settings, and display stylesheets/banners as appropriate. It would take some development time, but I think it could work smoothly.

This would of course be heavily theme-dependent, not only for the implementation (div position and such) but also for the design (changing the backgrounds while keeping the feel of the theme).

Hmm..

The BuddyPress Group forum system is actually powered by bbpress so it should be able to handle anything bbpress can. It is up to you whether you want to use the group forums system or work on integrating a standalone bbpress install into wordpress.

I thought about this as well.. I think we could use a unique symbol (! is pretty good indeed) and attach that to a groupname or groupID (for longer Group names).

The reason why I think this could be very cool if you’d combine it with the TweetStream plugin.

I image it working like this:

User syncs his profile with Twitter through TweetStream. Then makes a post from his mobile phone/twitter app:

“!buddypress this is a status update for the group “buddypress” on my BP site”

The tweet gets converted to a status update for the group BuddyPress and voila, you can post updates to your groups through twitter from everywhere!

Go into the bp-default folder inside the bp-themes folder where buddypress plugin is and cut and paste the navigation code from header.php into where you themes navigation is.

or you could just create empty pages that link to the slugs

/activity

/forums

/groups

It’s working fine for me on Firefox.. looks awesome!

A hosting company can’t do more than place a plugin correctly, activating it and then if errors show up, give those to you, they can’t start scripting or fixing scripts for you, if you would like something like that, hire a programmer.

What you could also do is making a ticket on the trac or just wait till someone of the buddypress theme sees the topic and answers your question.

Wow! Didn’t know AJAX IM changed their interface to resemble Facebook’s chat!

Is the AJAX IM demo working for any of you though?

[EDIT]

Working in Chrome, Safari and surprisingly IE8, but not Firefox or Opera.

Getting some JS issues for the latter.

What about http://ajaxim.com/

Seems like it would be a killer BP plugin

Resolved after reading this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-install-of-bp-press-cant-post-any-topics-in-forum

I decided to login as a group admin, click on the admin for the group, and checked the box to enable forum posting. Now I have a publicly viewable forum post – so it seems to work… I guess this is resolved.

Although I must suggest adding a note somewhere around the forums posting area that posting a message to a forum that does not have it enabled will do no good… as I and many others are left confused about why we make a forum post and it just disappears.. I guess a note saying that that feature needs to be enabled by the group admin would be nice.

Or perhaps we should be able to enable general forums for users without groups membership being needed, maybe?

That’s *awesome* news! You rock.
