ow… so it is a known bug?
the description is actually requested… Marshall MAY add something for that soon…
@frenchtowner
Where did you copy the reset.css file from? I’m not seeing it in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default
Is it somewhere else?
Thnks!
Howdy folks…think I’m going to punt on this one…bit over my head and not enough time to research it.
Thx anyways
Till the modification theme is online at wordpress theme directory, you are able to download the “4 to 5 widget column child theme” here:
http://kartobuddy.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/child-theme-with-a-single-4-to-5-columns-widget-page-for-buddypress-1-2/
Easier said than done I’m afraid. A blog post is different than an activity update.
I’ll look into it, but I’m not going to promise anything.
Feel free to tweak the code! I’ll add you as a contributor if you figure it out! 
Maybe I am doing something Wrong. I installed the plugin via the plugin panel but when trying to add a link it gives “Please fill in all of the required fields”.
I have entered a category and a url
Instead of downloading wordpress to my PC and then uploading to Godaddy(I ran into all kinds of problems that way…)
On january of 2010 I used godaddy automated script from hosting control center to automatically install wordpress 2.9.1 into my hosting account. My current account detail in godaddy for marinprofessionals.com is as follows:
Domain : marinprofessionals.com
Hosting Login : wandilly
Server IP Address : 97.74.215.63
Dedicated Hosting IP : 173.201.83.101
On January 2010 I also was able to upload the Current Theme to the marinprofessionals.com hosting account in godaddy is called :
Sliding Door 1.8.7 by Wayne Connor
(A unique template featuring sliding images in the header based on phatfusion imagemenu. Look at theme homepage to see the menu in action – the preview does not work on wordpress.org!!!! Sliding images in header link to pages, or can be redirected using the Page Links To plugin. The theme has a comprehensive support forum to help you get started at http://mac-host.com/support)
As far as Buddypress, back in October of 2009, I downloaded the version of I downloaded the bpress 1.1.1zip version and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy. Nevertheless, I also see another version of bpress zip (1.0.2) which was uploaded in January 2010…
My website I was able to change the appearance of the sliling door of marinprofessionals but am not sure if it was done correctly. I would like help adding a directory capability and enable the creation of individuals blogs per each user registration…similar to what’s is avalable for the ” http://www.umwblogs.org” website … During 2009 I have tried to get help/answers from dirrent forums but was not able to make it work, could you please help??
If you click the thumb of a blog post it takes you to that blog page. The oembed has a view link I’m suggesting a thumbnail to go to that view link. Showing the full view of flickr and youtube videos takes considerable space in the activity stream. Just trying to clean it up a bit.
Would this plugin also help in upgrading a custom Buddypress 1.1.3 theme to 1.2?
I’ll try that later this week…
@modemlooper
Looks like grabbing the thumbnail might be doable.
But I’m not sure if the BP activity stream supports this dual-mode view you’re speaking of (activity stream gets one view, activity permalink gets another) since they both use the same template to render the activity.
I’m guessing not off the top of my head…
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/
- Make a child theme with a custom sidebar.php file and comment out or delete the login block of code.
- 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.
Thanks a Lot, for fast replying and for the plugin!!!
I never noticed the existence of this one!
But, there are any plan of making it official part of Buddypress? It would be really useful.
Thanks Again. Best Regards.
@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.
Thanks to you and your team for all the great work!
Here’s a reference to the issue I reported:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2040
@gregfielding
What part of the group homepage are you looking at adding the player?
This plugin only adds oEmbed support to activity updates and forum posts.

It looks like ustream.tv has oEmbed support.
But as stated in the readme.txt FAQ, you’ll need to add support for uStream to WordPress’ oEmbed provider list in order to allow uStream embeds. I’m not going to be adding any additional oEmbed providers to WordPress’ default list.
If you know a little bit about code, you can read here to add support yourself:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#Adding_Support_For_An_oEmbed-Enabled_Site
If you need help adding uStream support, I’m *thinking* of offering premium support to extend the plugin for a nominal fee (similar to other Wp plugin developers).
Yeah I know, not what some people wanted to hear. Basic support will always be free though. Of course, I haven’t thought about this in depth – just a spur-of-the-moment idea your post gave me that is sure to ignite some negativity
Not sure if I’m actually going to go through the premium support model though.

Re: oEmbed Discovery plugin – that should also work. I listed this in the readme.txt and its potential problems if you don’t trust your user base.
Also not sure if the upcoming version of oEmbed for BP (v0.6) will work with the oEmbed Discovery plugin, since the new version of the plugin changes the logic of how URLs are sent to WP’s oEmbed to enhance performance on your DB . I’ll do some testing, but if the oEmbed Discovery plugin doesn’t work in v0.6, at least you’ll still have v0.51!
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.
Hi Andrea…thanks for the tips and helping a newbie.. Yep, I see everything you’re describing…
But wow…wish I knew what I’m trying to accomplish exactly.
Am I supposed to just re-arrange the HTML elements? Match the div classes?
The other thing I don’t get is, both my page.php and BP template files seem to be calling/loading the sidebar element…if so, is only one of them supposed to?
I’ve never really hacked any WordPress layout before (new from Joomla)
I’m really interested in learning this aspect of WordPress though if anyone is interested in helping out.
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?
