Did you activate the plugin named “buddypress” ? 
http://skolstaden.netne.net/wordpress/
Hi , I installed buddypress and everything seems to work.
now i just need to integrate stuff like:
/wordpress/activity/
/wordpress/members/
etc.
i want everything within my regular content area, now it just redirects me to a whole new page.
I am so confused and don’t really know what to do here.
my css skills is moderate and i know how to get around things.
If somebody would help, it would seriously mean so much to me!
Doh you spoiled the game. Hints were required, hot or cold etc
The cause has to do with the fact that ‘2.7’ and ‘2.8’ (some old WP version numbers) are part of ‘1.2.7’ and ‘1.2.8’. It is a silly strpos() issue. It will be fixed soon.
Thought this would be a fun game so compared two readme from plugins showing as ‘Not tested’ Against my own little effort of little worth that does not show the warning, ruled out nearly every possible cause as one or other of the plugins showing warnings didn’t match on say order of == Installation == sections or omission of sections e.g one missed == changelog ==
As for tested up to I tried to be helpful with BP version number so that probably rules that out. The only common aspect the two plugins have that mine doesn’t that I’m left with is the ‘Donate link’ line? Is that the cause?
the cause of the error is either the readme file Tested up to: line or the main plugin file Version: line. If you put any BP version info in there, this website balks and throws that error. It seems to only effect plugin authors that are being extra helpful putting BP version info in their plugins, so it should be removed.
Here’s where we encounter the error. First we go to the Members tab and select a member. On that member’s page, we click the “send private message” button. After filling in the email form and submitting, the page is returned with this error: “There was an error sending that message, please try again.” This only happens when attempting to send to a user with a country code extension in their email address. (We figured this out by looking at the user accounts that we couldn’t send messages to – the ones that triggered the error all had email addresses with country codes.)
@hnla basically I want the ability to replace the buddypress main nav with wordpress menus: via Appearance > Menus.
Being able to have a custom menu like:
Home
Community
-Activity
-Members
Groups
…
What would be the best way to implement this?
there seems to be alternative browsers for the iPhone that support uploading, but standard Safari does not in iOS 4.3.
There’s a `do_action` hook you can use:
`xprofile_updated_profile` (located in /buddypress/bp-xprofile.php.)
You could potentially use the wp_mail() function to send an email to the admin with this hook.
Don’t know what a `do_action` is and how to make use of it?
If you’re familiar with a tiny bit of PHP, here’s some articles that will help:
http://www.nathanrice.net/blog/an-introduction-to-wordpress-action-hooks/
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API#Actions
Here’s something quick you can try:
`function my_update_profile_send( $id ) {
$text = bp_core_get_user_domain( $id );
wp_mail( ‘YOUR ADMIN EMAIL ADDRESS’, ‘Profile Updated’, $text );
}
add_action( ‘xprofile_updated_profile’, ‘my_update_profile_send’ );`
Put the code snippet in your theme’s functions.php.
i want my users to be able to update their profiles and add a picture on the profile page.
when u set the custom feilds pictures are not an option.
does anyone know how to add pictures to the options in the custon feilds of buddypress?
Here is one way:
—-
Register a widget on a template page of your theme. Set that page to the front.

Next, use the RSS widget (or another plugin) to show the blog post.

@djpaul and @boonebgorges, I hear you about the caching. that is one big bonus. I can make big ugly queries and know that they’ll be cached. If I ‘roll by own’ then I’ll have to build caching myself (but it’s not that hard).
I looked at the meta_query functions, and they seem quite sufficient for most queries, they only thing they are missing are the powerful mysql abilities such as GROUP BY, COUNT, DISTINCT, and mysql’s cryptic but powerful date range functions. Much of this can be done in php with more flexibility, but sometimes it’s nice to do a single query and get exactly what you want.
The most common need for this plugin, is to display the combined vote/rating/likes of a content object. I can pretty easily figure out how to do that with MySQL, but how to do it quickly with custom post types/taxonomies?
For example, i’m looking at a list of images, and I want to see the ratings of each image. I can’t really store it in my new rating custom post type, do I store it in some site option? seems kinda odd, or do I create a new custom post type – one for each object type – seems kinda odd, or do I use taxonomies. Or do I store it in the meta table of that individual object such as post_meta, group_meta. etc. this will not scale well because some objects have no meta table (such as images).
any insights into these things would be greatly appreciated.
wont be able to upload pictures from your iphone unless you create an app for it…..
@djpaul oh boy – I was hoping you wouldn’t say that! Can you tell me why you are re-writing it, and if you’ve started any difficulties you’ve encountered.
Here is my initial db scheme with examples (initially visualized as a mysql table)
rating_id – auto-generated
object_id – id of object being rated. ie. post_id, group_id, bp_album image id, forum_post_id
object_type – type of thing beind rated. ie. group, blog post, album image, forum post
rater_user_id – the user_id of the person doing the rating (need to be logged in)
owner_user_id – the user id of the person who ‘owns’ the object being rated
rate_type – either ‘like’, ‘vote’ or ‘rate’.
rate_value – value of rating/like/vote. Like can only be ‘like’, vote is 1 or -1, rate can be range from 1 to 5.
date_rated
maybe I’m being too flexible with the different rate types and I should just stick to one type, such as Facebook style ‘Like’. but then that leaves out a lot of functionality for amazon and app store style ratings. it would be nice if these were consolidated in one area, but maybe too ambitious.
Looking again at custom post types/taxonomies I can see how the custom post type will be an individual rating, and the owner of that custom post type will be the rater. I can add a custom field for the user id of the object owner. It looks like the object_type would be a custom taxonomy, and the id of the object rated would be another custom field. The value of the rating could either be a custom field or maybe a taxonomy.
Should I be connecting up the object being rated or the object owner using custom taxonomies? if yes, then I’m having trouble visualizing that.
thanks!
I know i’ve seen this topic before…I just did a search https://buddypress.org/search/?f=default+activity

Thanks- I stumbled across that the other day. I wish it weren’t a core change. Guess we can’t have it all.
Be well
Thanks! Changing the caps was pretty easy. Good job commenting out your stuff by the way!
Ok – so you’re going to your profile’s private message, compose; what type of search term do you enter in the name field? Do you get any autocompletion results (an AJAX script ought to be running)? Does the search term match up to a particular user?
Just trying to understand where it’s falling out. BuddyPress private messaging doesn’t use email addresses.
Paul – we are using the standard WP user account usernames for login, not email addresses. I didn’t do the original WP install, but I checked the wp-config file and I didn’t see anything relating to compatibility mode.
