I use buddydev.com’s BP Gallery… it satisfies what i need to be done for my site… but you do bring up a good point, and i too would actually be interested in that… i cam across the following plugins.. they are for videos, but may be they could work for photos as well… you could give it a shot:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/carousel-free-video-gallery/ (has a carousel effect built into it)
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/ultimate-free-video-gallery/
@Histrion its really easy dissing on what others do… please remember this is an open-source platform and buddydev.com is not obligated to give you a flawless piece of code… now, lets be realistic in our assesment of bp-chat from buddydev…
amongst all the available free chat modules out there, this one is the best… it has its flaws… not denying it, but its still under improvement. Give it another 6 months or so, and it’ll be really good.
until then, try having a looking at bowob.com… seems like it’ll work too.
I’m using BoWoB http://www.bowob.com/ its a plugin for wordpress but works good with Buddypress as well, not a buddypress addon or anything but it works and its free.
Brajesh at Buddydev sucks slows down things,show people online even they ar not ,and lots of bugs
he update the plugin all the time and nothing all bugs still there …i hate it and will never use it again
I would like this as it handles email, names properly but I don’t want to create login/register pages. I want to be able to add it or have it auto add itself like twit connect does.
I use the Buddypress Ajax login and twit connect adds nicely to it. It also add nicely to my wp-login page as well. Can you add this feature?
@BrainiacWebDesigns
Do you still have a plugin activated that modifies wp-login.php? If so, deactivate it.
Also check your theme’s main stylesheet to see if any styles are applied to div#login h1 a ‘cuz Firebug shows margins left & right:-90px
If you can’t find anything, try adding the following to your theme’s stylesheet to override whatever’s causing those weird margins:
div#login h1 a {margin:0; !important}
Probably the theme does not have the proper hooks in it.
It was tested with BuddyPress Default 1.2.7 theme
Where do you get that theme? I can’t find it.
Never mind…. I’m an idiot….
I had a series of bb_ tables but the upgrade created a series of wp_bb tables. I will just copy the data.
Update: Copied the data, everything works fine now.
@naved I’ve removed that posted file as it was causing issues and wasn’t the right type of file.
Hello,
After I upgraded BuddyPress my group forums are no longer working. New groups can create topics but pre-upgrade groups can not. Old groups also cannot see any old posts.
If an old group tries to create a topic I get the error “There was an error when creating the topic”
Any way to resolve this?
@naved and post a liunk to your site so we can see what theme you;re using.
As hnla said, don;t paste long pieces of code liek that. and you;re looking in the wrong spot. that;s a core wp file which you will never edit. the linsk will show *dynamically* in your theme.
in the theme folder that has your BP theme files. What are you actually running, is BP installed and activated, and are you using the default theme? if so the theme files live in the buddypress plugin directory but you shouldn’t edit them directly.
Well, I tried it, can’t get it to work. Where can I post as a paid job for Buddypress specifically?
hii , at the footer of my page it says my page or site is powered by wordpress and buddypress how to modify it ?
any 1 can help me with .???
thnx buddy i had fixed it
link to your site please.
I suspect it’s either permalinks or you haven’t finished setting up compatibility in your theme.
“and it does support sending email and has for a few new user registrations.”
So it has actually *sent* mail.
Edit:
Your server is not the problem. Not entirely anyway. I signed up to your site and got two emails – one with an activation link and one confirmation email. Exactly like I am supposed to.
So your problem is *not* the server is not sending email. The problem is some of the people signing up are not getting them. Which means it’s mostly on their end. You can do a reverse dns entry, like @hnla stated above, but really that’s all you can do for some places like Hotmail & Comcast.
I would like to modify a plugin I am using for a BuddyPress website to update the activity stream.
The plugin I would like to modify is: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/question-and-answer-forum/
I would just like the activity stream to update to something like:
[Username and link to it] has asked a question: [Question that was asked and link to it]
I am unsure if I want to do something like:
[Username and link to it] has answered a question: [The answer to the question that was asked and link to it]
or
[Username and link to it] has answered a question: [Question that was asked and link to it]
To try and figure out how to update the activity stream, I downloaded the BuddyPress Skeleton Component plugin but I am still unsure how updating the stream works. If someone knows of a good guide they can point me to that would be great.
In the BuddyPress Skeleton Component plugin I am curious what file controls the screen two example page located here:
http://yourwebsite.com/members/admin/example/screen-two/
I only see a file called screen-one.php in the examples folder.
in buddypress ,all the links inside “my account ” doesnt work, it shows 404.0 http error not found , now i had configure the BP compatitbility my step 1 and step 2 was succesful after that in step 3 it tells me ur “my account links will be working ” but still it shows the same error msg …can any 1 help me solving that problem plz>?????
hi like ai say buddypress is workin ok but the problem is that the display is not at center i mean the alignement is to the left
I was just looking for BuddyPress or WordPress sites if they have the end of redirect trailing slash URL without duplicate content:
Who doesn’t have the redirect to trailing slash?
http://bp-tricks.com/members
http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/members
http://savannahvideocentral.com/members
http://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo
Only this has working:
https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy
Most of them don’t even know the problem.
one more:
by reading the code, I can see the locate_template() function comes with 3 parameters
locate_template($template_names, $load = false, $require_once = true )
the third parameter “$require_once” is ignored in buddypress and default is true
locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true )
that means the conflict could just happen by using something like this
locate_template( array( ‘sidebar.php’ ), true, false ); where $require_once is false.
I got it working by add rewrite rules trailing slash to the end of the URL in .htaccess:
`
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/blog/$1/ [L,R=301]
`
Make sure the above codes are before the # BEGIN WordPress rewrite rules.
Don’t use @r-a-y codes.
