BuddyPress.org

I disagree. Yes plugin authors SHOULD do that, but WordPress plugins should be able to declare a parent plugin that must be active. That way, when BuddyPress is deactivated, my Welcome Pack plugin is deactivated automatically. It also protects against plugin authors who do not know how to do this properly; either through lack of PHP experience or ignorance. There’s a whole range of WordPress plugins out there, and some are really well written, and some are really poorly written.

It’s not up to WordPress to deal with this, it’s up to plugin developers to write their plugins so they don’t die if BuddyPress is not present. I’ve put the code all over the codex for this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/checking-buddypress-is-active/

did you use this plugin?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/

if so and that caused an error – can you drop me a message with what happened so I can fix it? thanks!

For those that find this while searching …

you should see Navigation Links message (“You may want to add new navigation tabs or links to your theme to link to BuddyPress directory pages.”) on the right side after clicking on Appearance and then BP Compatibility link.

I’ve spent the last couple of hours using the compatibilty pack to get everything lined up – by matching the HTML layout.

It was quick and dirty but now it all fits fine and my sidebar is present (although I’d like to remove it from the buddypress specific pages). To be honest I was surprised I got this far!

Problems:

1. How to get the Nav buttons on the bar? or somthing like. Personally I’d like a ‘Socialise’ Button with Mystique drops downs for the buddypress components I use.

2. Forums don’t work. If I load up the default theme they work (although I can’t create a topic) but through Mystique I just get a black white page.

Any thoughts? If I send you my email address any chance I can have a look/ at what you’ve done?

Hi Peter,

i have sended you the fr_FR translation by the usual way…

I have a question to you and all other users.

What do you think to call this plugin “bp-doclib” instead of “buddypress-group-documents” ?

DocLib is really shorter as Group Documents in the admin menu and more handy to use on a forum, like

“hey my doclib is going crazy”, instead of “buddypress-group-documents is….”…

+ 1 for me (even if DocLib (docutheque) is in use since 0.1.3 release on bp-fr.net)

Plugin dependancies is a WordPress-level issue, and well-written BuddyPress plugins can silently quit if they find BuddyPress is available.

Yes, it can be done.

You’ll want to install come plugins such as the “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” plugin and some type of picture album plugin, either here (which you have to pay for) or here (which is brand new and probably still has bugs).

Yes, it’s called manually going through the code

Try looking through the various bp-COMPONENT-templatetags.php files.

There’s also the codex – codex.buddypress.org – but it needs a little TLC.

Nope, I’ve got it down pat right now. I was working on it again just the other night, as I’ve had to go back & redo all the ones I took screenshots of.

My only dilemma right now is whether to release it as a child theme (of the original WP theme) or a forked theme. Hrm.

Hi,

This was an issue with looking for spam and deleted fields in the db. They were not there in wordpress install so I removed this contraint. I just checked in version 1.1.8 to fix this.

Thanks,

Dave

just curious, if you dont mind me asking, how much are you paying them to do it? it would be great to get an idea as to how much something like that costs.

Hi Andrea_r,

I am too trying to get bp to work with mystique, it looks like you made some excellent progress. Do you need any assistance or is there anything available for download yet?

I really appreciate the help.

in your theme folder /groups/index.php

find the <h3> at top replace with

<h3>

<?php _e( 'Groups Directory', 'buddypress' ) ?>

<?php if ( current_user_can( 'delete_others_posts' ) ) : //only admins and editors can see this ?> &nbsp;

<a class="button" href="<?php echo bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . BP_GROUPS_SLUG . '/create/' ?>">

<?php _e( 'Create a Group', 'buddypress' ) ?></a><?php endif; ?>

</h3>

This will show the button for only admins. You can still create groups if you go to the url.

There’s a problem with the links installation on my bp 1.2.1 site running single wp.

On the links directory, none of the options works to display the links in order – most votes, newly created, etc. When I select a link category, it doesn’t do anything. It keeps on displaying the 10 newest links only. The pagination links doesn’t work also. It keeps on displaying the 10 latest links.

if you find an easy way to do this, please let me and other users know. if you could, writing a plug in for it would be awesome. many people have phpbb3 forums and would love to integrate them easily into bbpress

pictures upload now available !

I would love to use the myreviewplugin for the new BP-Tricks site.. not for review but to let others know how hard it is to implement.. It would be cool if the plugin was completely integrated with BuddyPress that would make it a must have!

I think Dwenaus’s solution works, but he forgot a line:

function custom_group_alpha_first() {

?><option SELECTED value="alphabetical"><?php _e( 'Alphabetical', 'buddypress' ) ?></option><?php

}

add_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options', 'custom_group_alpha_first' );

Another, less good, solution: Put the following in your theme’s functions.php:

function members_alpha_by_default( $query_string ) {

global $bp;



if ( $bp->current_component == BP_MEMBERS_SLUG && !$bp->current_action)

$query_string = 'type=alphabetical&action=alphabetical';



return $query_string;

}

add_filter( 'bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring', 'members_alpha_by_default' );

It’s not as good because it doesn’t change what the dropdown reads. A simple fix for that is just to move the Alphabetical option to the top of the list in your theme file, but if you’re going to do that you might as well just add SELECTED to the alphabetical option and skip the filtering function. Maybe I’m missing something with the bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring hook – is there a way to change what the dropdown reads? I thought that’s what ‘action’ was.
