I found a plugin that allows me to edit posts in the activity stream. Thanks for the help!
@mercime
Hey,
I’m sorry- you’ve confused me a good deal with that last post. Anyway you can explain in more “lamens terms”? 
Thanks,
Jono
@hal9000 to get alternating colors on any of your loops (activity, members, groups, blog listings, forums, whatever)… using this code (uses CSS3)
li { background: green; }
li:nth-child(odd) { background: red; }
more specifically:
in the default.css stylesheet of the buddypress default theme… you should find on line 396:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eaeaea;
}
replace that with this:
ul.item-list li {
position: relative;
padding: 15px 0;
border-bottom: none;
background: green;
}
ul.item-list li:nth-child(odd) {
background: red;
}
and wolla!! ofcourse… please change the red and green to the colors of your theme… also, if you need it specifically for members, or groups, etc… then in the source code of each page , for eg, in groups, it is under a particular id: groups-list… put the styles under that id and so on.. hope that makes sense to you.
I installed buddypress on an existing wordpress installation. I have set up a few groups that members can post in, however when I am logged in as admin I only see an option to view, or delete the post. I just want to edit it so it conforms to my blog policy..But I cannot see anywhere to do that.
== how do you edit a post created by a member in buddypress groups ==
Could you be more specific? Like are you using a group blog plugin (u mentioned groups above) or are you referring to just a regular post in main site or another blog in your install?
Installed unified search as per above link and transferred search to sidebar as per @mercime at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/search-login-bar/ . Truly Excellent tips. Just one extra step required. In Groups,Blogs,and Members Directory there remains a search bar in addition to the unified search now in sidebar. How to remove this ?
How do you mean seriously? they are not obliged to do anything really , they already provide hosting for the site and trac/svn they designate one of their team to work – I think exclusively – on .org sites, BuddyPress, and bbPress. They are not strictly obliged to do any of this remember 
Well that raises the bigger question. When is Automattic going to take Buddypress seriously?

They say this will help, but read the reviews.. i think there are some people having problems out there. But i have wp 3.1.3 and bp 1.2.8… and i cannot see the backend admin link for this! good luck though.. and let me know if this works out for you…
1) Could you put the option to create New Categories at the Front End, please?
2) I found that Categories could be selected by Front End users when creating events, but did not stay selected on save.
3) The calendar is very useful but currently shows ALL the events. Can it be adjusted just to show Events I’m Attending or Group Events?
thanks and well done on a great plugin.

Ok, this is driving me CRAZY! I am trying to update intrepidity 1.5.1 by Top Blog Formula for BuddyPress. I have gone thru and checked out the 13 files to change the html in and either it isnt making sense to me or I am missing something. It is throwing my sidebar to the bottom of my content area and all my content is slammed to the left side. I reeeeeeeally tried all that I could think of before posting but I need some help to fix this issue. Thank you so much in advance!!
here is what it is doing —-> http://www.dubgolf.com/groups/
I am using site5. So far so good. I have a buddypress multisite on their shared hosting service and working just fine. Just installed today, so I have not tested everything yet.
I had a 500 internal server error, but turned out to be my .htaccess file and site5 found the error when I missed it.
Thanks, stwc. I’m actually on a dedicated server that I can fully control. Is there a key resource(s) I should look at that can be increased to better accommodate?
So Google’s Plus One is interesting. I see there’s already a WordPress plugin to use it on an installation.
I’m thinking about figuring out how to integrate a Plus One button into @modemlooper‘s ShareIt plugin. That seems like a natural place to put such a button.
@nlvp this is as far as I got…the goal number would have to be created manually instead of user being able to just enter it into a preset custom field. They’d have to make a custom field called Goal and enter the number.
`
<?php
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘post_author’ => $bp->displayed_user->id,
‘post_status’ => ‘draft, pending’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1 ) );
query_posts($args);
?>
-
/*This will show the current word count of the listed post */
post_content));?>
/*This next piece is what I haven’t accomplished fully, it is supposed to show a custom field designated “goal” */
ID, “goal”, $single = true); ?>
`
place this in your member header. should work. maybe someone else can refine it for you and add that visual graphic progress bar. Also this is if your members are authors on the main site and that’s where the posts are.
Ok, this is probably real simple but I just don’t see it.. As the admin, how do you edit a post created by a member in buddypress groups? I see view and delete, but no way to edit.
Thanks!
We have a WordPress blog, and we’ve had a Ning social site we’ve migrated into BuddyPress. Can the old blog be merged in (via myphpAdmin I assume) with the new BuddyPress blog posts? What do I need to know/do?
I’d be interested if hearing if someone has figured out a way to use the Register Plus Redux plugin with BuddyPress…
Hi,
I’m a first time user of buddypress and I was wondering if someone could tell me how I go about setting up my buddypress installation the same way that I see it on here, for exaple I want it so that when my users click the forums link it looks similar to buddypress.org support section where you have a bunch of topics and underneath you have the forums like Creating & Extending, How-To and Troubleshooting, Installing BuddyPress ect. I am finding it difficult in setting up specific forums and allowing members to post in that section?
Thanks
Can anyone tell me how to change the spacing between topics on a Buddypress group forum layout? I’ve been playing around with it for ages now but can’t find the answer, or the css it uses (I don’t use the standard BP default theme). I would love to increase the vertical spacing between the posts so they aren’t all cramped up, increase the width of the column sizes (as you can see my name goes onto two lines) and a real bonus would be to add either divider lines or grey/white lines (as shown in this forum) between each topic post to make them easier to read and identify. My forum page is here..http://glitchaddict.com/groups/glitch-addicts/forum/ TIA
Hi everyone,
For the last 3 days Im looking for a solution. I hope someone can help me.
How do i restrict the profilepage’s of al the users except the one from the user him or herself?
Ive tried a lot of combinations in the URI Restriction options for Buddypress. But nothing is working.
Thanks in advance.
