BuddyPress.org

Would this plugin also help in upgrading a custom Buddypress 1.1.3 theme to 1.2?

I’ll try that later this week…

Hey @D Cartwright ,

I’ve installed your amazing and unique plugin, it went throught till the point i want to visit the group wiki, i see the message: “You do not currently have access to view any of the wiki pages of this group.” and im the admin and the page is public. (http://myislamicblog.com/groups/forums/wiki)

Plus, in the group/wiki admin, where it says click the (+) picture to add a page, it doesnt do anything and im not able to add other pages.

Any ideas??

Thank you in advance.

Yup… it’s not a widget. Two options which would involved making a child theme. Don’t worry… it’s really simple: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

1. Make a child theme with a custom sidebar.php file and comment out or delete the login block of code.
2. Make a child theme and add this line to your “style.css” file

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

I suppose you could also try adding the code below to a “custom.php” file and putting it in your plugins directory (no child theme required)… but now I’m just getting silly. LOL (I haven’t tested this BTW).

<?php



add_action('wp_head', 'hide_login');

function hide_login() {

echo <<<CSS



<style type='text/css'>

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

</style>



CSS;

}



?>

or even this! (very silly)

<?php



add_action('bp_before_sidebar_login_form', 'open_login_comment');

function open_login_comment() { echo '<!--' }



add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'close_login_comment');

function close_login_comment() { echo '-->' }



?>

So how to you intend for people to login? Just via the regular WordPress login?

I’m not sure… but the plugin was released by Andy who is the main core developer for BuddyPress. I didn’t even know about the plugin until I responded to your post. I knew there was a thread on here about your question about a week ago… so I just did a search.

@r-a-y

Suggestion: when you input a url and it auto embeds. I think for usability sake it should do a thumbnail like blog posts and @sbrajesh gallery plugin. The thumbnail would then be viewable full size in the permalink view. This could be done via css but the embed would need to be wrapped in the permalink.

Would this plugin allow embed codes from other services to display?

I’m running some “classroom” groups in my community and am trying to find a way to embed a ustream player directly onto the group (“classroom”) page. Our presentations and chats are live…so it wouldn’t work to have to upload a video to these other services first. (although it would be great for video archives).

Thoughts?

This is a WPMU issue, not BuddyPress, you need to get WPMU to force the BuddyPress theme as the default.

It’s not php, it’s HTML. Your theme page up there has a “post” div aroudn the content area. make the BP template files match that. (Hint: look for the “content” div.)

Thanks @MrMaz for the reply, I’m curious if someone have the same issue on single WP?

Should be an easy question, but nobody here to give an answer. It’s a pity, because I cannot use buddypress 1.2 if I cannot edit the activity stream.

To not show the friendships I deleted in index.php of activity-folder in the theme:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) ) : ?> <option value=”friendship_accepted,friendship_created”><?php _e( ‘Show Friendship Connections’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></option> <?php endif; ?>

BUT:

I don’t know how to only show blog posts. I think it will not work to delete all Options but NewBlogPosts, because this only gives the links and not what is shown as default option.

Everything is explained on step three of the setup process.

@Erich73-

Haha! I appreciate the thought. I’m sure Automattic is able to afford to buy many things! I have no issue with Automattic. I do not expect them to pay me.

@everyone

My code, like any other GPLed theme or plugin is freely available for all to use. So, if Automattic wants to merge my code into BP core, I would be honored and not expect anything else in return.

I hope that my posts (in this thread and on my website concerning this issue) do not come across as me being bitter. That is not the case.

I fully support and believe in the Open Source model as expressed via the GPL. I also believe in giving back to those Open Source projects from which you have benefited. I of course have done that with the hundreds of hours I’ve donated as a moderator on these forums.

The referenced-to post above was just my attempt to try to figure out a possible way where I could actually earn part of my living by creating great-quality plugins for the WordPress / BuddyPress community. I think talented programmers should be able to do that without having to resort to consulting. I have no interest in providing consulting services. I owned a consulting company for 7 years. It was great, but I have no need or intention of going back down that road.

So, enough said with all of this stuff about me and my needs. I appreciate people’s concerns and suggestions.

Let’s put this thread back on track. Please try to limit your comments to the future of privacy in BuddyPress and not about me!

Strange as Admin after I active the plugin and add some links and try to log out I’m getting a blank page breaking the blog. Only when I deactivate the plugin evrything is back to normal. Any idea? Running WP 2.9.1 with BP1.2

“False consensus effect – the tendency for people to overestimate the degree to which others agree with them.”

I don´t know if “STOP feature polls” was meant as a joke or not, but I can´t really see why this is a problem (if you are serious). People have different opinions on what is the most important features that should be developed, and what should be included in core.

For instance, letting users be able to post to blogs from the frontpage sounds like a perfect plugin match for me, as I have no real need for that. Still I don´t go around making several posts (saw you posted at the dev site as well) about how devs should STOP working on frontpage blogposting and focus on xxx feature instead.

Maybe the false concensus effect have blinded you a bit my friend.

To me it is important to keep in mind that testbp.org has over 15 000 users. We all have different plans for buddypress.

The way the dev team are trying to figure out what to develop next seems like a fair way to me:

(1)First getting suggestions, (2)then adding their professional opinion on what should be devoloped next and lastly (3) letting the users again be a part of the process by allowing us to vote on what we want the most. This will hopefully allow the highest percentage of people to be pleased.

EDIT: I was a bit slow you posted your reply in the mean time Erich.
