BuddyPress.org

It’d help if we knew what version of BuddyPress you are using as 1.2 isn’t out yet, as this is fixed in trunk.

Aaaand we’re off topic. This thread is for reporting spammers on buddypress.org, not about how to implement anti-spamming measures on your own site. I am going to lock this thread.

If you are looking to report spamming issues on THIS SITE, please send a message to a forum moderator or find us in IRC chat.

If you are looking to discuss spam prevention on your own site, please make a new post or find an existing one.

This site uses an external bbPress install, and is not the conventional BuddyPress method for setting up forums.

An example of the conventional BP method can be found here: http://testbp.org/forums

If you like the way the bp.org forums look, you’ll have to integrate WordPress with bbPress.

One guide to integrate WP and bbPress can be found here:

Other WP/bbPress guides are available over on:

I think you can do it the same way as upgrading theme from 1.0 to 1.1..

Guys, But seriously,, even if the bot-spammer gets through — its still very taxing on my server!

Im thinking of installing “BAD Behavior” but im really trying to limit the stuff I have installed/

any suggestions?

Here’s something else that might interest a few: I installed WPMU Super Captcha over the weekend (running WPMU2.9.1 & BP1.2rc). Since then, there have been no bot signups at all, and the plugin has blocked exactly 50 attempts. Plus, it logs each attempt that it blocks so I can keep track.

I’ve also added a comment on the registration form directed towards human signer-uppers with a support email address just in case. None of the 50 blocked attempts have used it, so…

Bots had managed to get around other plugins I’ve tried before, but not this one.

There is:

<?php do_action( 'bp_after_groups_loop' ) ?>

But that isn’t directly after the bp_has_groups loop.

Add it in Trac as an enhancement:

https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

Login with the same username/password as you use on bp.org.

you could also override this page in the buddypress folder using a child theme (I think):

/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/index.php

more info here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

but this is not very elegant, as future default theme changes for this file won’t come through

Here is a way to kind of do it

in the main plugins folder add this to a custom-code.php file

function custom_group_alpha_first() {

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

}

It will work, but then you have duplicate Alphabetic selects. You can try to hide the other one with CSS or Javascript using the DOM. good luck.

1 – manually, you have to rearrange the list order in header.php

how to do that ?

if you use 1.2 inspire you with this:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-12-how-to-add-a-custom-tab-on-the-home-activity-section

3 – yes, and on each individual blog page too or by typing “wp-admin” at the end of your url: hxxp://exemple.com/wp-admin

@shaisimchi

maybe this can help a little ?

1. The main navigation is hard-coded into ‘header.php’. I don’t know of way to rearrange the order other than modifying that file itself.

2. There’s a great article about changing strings here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

That being said, while your modifying the order in ‘header.php’ you can just change the strings there.

3. Not that I know of, although I haven’t thoroughly investigated.

David can you please share the files u use on your webseite please

Omit steps 38-41 in the tutorial above.

Your issue is really a WPMU<->bbPress integration and has nothing to do with BuddyPress.

It is definitely doable to integrate.

Last time I did it, I used WPMU 2.8.6 (i believe) and latest bbPress (1.0.2).

Might I suggest heading over to the bbPress forums?

https://bbpress.org/forums

Integrate bbPress with WPMU first. Then disable groups and forums in BuddyPress. No need to go through BuddyPress’ Forums setup.

This tutorial worked for me:

It’s a little old, but the basic premise is the same.

One bug I just noticed, if you check a user’s profile activity (eg. example.com/members/admin), only the links activity is shown. All other activity is gone.

@nickmy

you are corrent, this is a bug:

I just posted the following as a Forum-Title and it shows strange and is also linking to the page:

Do not use the stars at beginning and at the end of the HTML-code.

<a* href=”http://www.heise.de”>Heise<*/a&gt;

submitted as TRAC-ticket:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1902

nickmy is right:

http://testbp.org/groups/buddypress-testers-614548248/forum/

Images aren’t filtered out from the topic title.

I bet we don’t need to do “deep integration” anymore, we just need to figure out what additional code to add to whatever file it is that BuddyPress uses to display the forums page.

I’d really appreciate a code sample.

Cheers,

Dainis

Please help! See above, where John James Jacoby said one month ago,

Which version of BP? This will be fixed in 1.2 as I think it’s just a missing or incorrectly named action.

Yet we are up to v1.2-RC2, and issue still persists. Is a fix in the works? Admin should be able to delete a user and have the option to remove ALL their posts from the site, whether they be blog comments, Group activity stream posts, or Forum topics and replies.

This issue is related to this topic I started about Admin and Moderator abilities to delete Forum topics and have them be removed from all places on the site: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forum-user-roles-and-moderator-ability-bp-12-rc2-wp-291

Hi, also have an issue with this.

I don’t get any error messages, just bar at top of page not working with LDAP authenticated users.

On investigation I think it’s to do with the username. Our LDAP usernames use the following syntax:

firstname.lastname

I tried and BuddyPress doesn’t work with usernames with a full stop in the middle whether LDAP or local.

Any ideas for workarounds?
