Hello,
I wondered if is possible to make some kind of category to the BuddyPress posts. Something similar to Twitter Hashtag, because that way will be better to organize what everyone is saying.
Thanks 
After a little more research I found a premium plugin that offers some of what I’m looking for:
http://www.social-network-solutions.com/BuddyPress
Figured I’d share, but I’m still open to other options if anyone finds any.
@graq Yes into bp_xprofile_fields.
It was once. Are you running an old version of BuddyPress?
Not aware of any current issues regarding this. We have fixed a situation where when a private group’s member could favourite an item, which then any other site member could view that single item by going to the group member’s profile and viewin their favourites. This is going to become BuddyPress 1.2.9 this weekend.
If you think you’ve found an issue, please consider any conflicts with other plugins (or by using any theme other than BP-Default) and give clear instructions how to recreate.
Is there any way to add a $_GET string to an href url?
something like: http://www.mybuddypress.com/my-page/?page=2&ids=1,2,3
I’m trying to do some custom pagination.
@ultimateuser Do you mean write values directly into bp_xprofile_fields ?
I wrote some dirty SQL to do just that.
` $insertsql = $wpdb->prepare(“INSERT INTO {$tablename} (group_id, parent_id, type, name, description, is_required, order_by, field_order, is_default_option, option_order ) VALUES (%d, %d, %s, %s, %s, %d, %s, %d, %d, %d )”, $group_id, $parent_id, $type, $region, ”, 0, ”, 0, 0, $option_order );`
To be honest, I was hoping there would be a better way.
It’s free as in “speech” not free as in “beer”….lol
@Mikey3D another thank you from me
@graq I had to do the same for a drop down field. First I created a dropdown with let say 5 options (so you will know where to enter the other values later on). I downloaded the table from my database and added the other values through excel. Once done, I uploaded the file again in my database. Worked for me.
In case anyone else has the same issue, I switched to BuddyPress Private Community pluign and that seems to sort everything out fine.
sorry… i forgot.
The error also exists in case i deactivate buddypress und change to wp default theme.
this plugin is doing a great job on this: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/
but you need to click or hover on the avatar to see the stuffs. If you want to display the stuffs without click or hover, you can study his code to see how he get there.
thank you Bowe.
but it didn’t fix my Problem. Only an empty .htaccess works without a permission-error. Well, is it possible to change the linkstructure for buddypress? for example index.php/activity/ instead of /activity/ ?
Following a site hack, I had to remove the default WP account ‘admin’ – and since then I have been logging into the site using my other named Administrator-level account. However, I am now unable to make another user be a Group Admin (or block users etc). Is there some kind of special privileges that come with the default ‘admin’ account which don’t exist even if you select Role: Administrator when making a user account?
I am able to add plugins etc and do WP admin functions, but not administer BuddyPress Groups. How can I get this working?
+1 from me… I was looking at this plugin but I don’t think it allows replies by email:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/
well, i started testing buddypress on my localhost (XAMP) and everything works great. Then i made an installation on my VServer and now i have problems with .htaccess.
If i delete .htaccess the site comes up, but every link is 404.
If i change Permalinkstructure and create a .htaccess i get an 403
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

anybody an idea how to fix it?
thanks in advance

1.3 will be three times as free as the last version 
@katemgilbert
Ive got exactly the same problem, and more users seem to. I came across this ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2222
But I dont think that is the solution. Ive checked the database and there are no duplicate entries – and for some reason it only happens to Administrators.
Anyone with advice on how to resolve?
Use the Custom Profile Filter plugin, but edit the plugin file. Just wrote example:
http://en.wpmubp.org/buddypress/custom-profile-filters-hack-to-keep-some-html/
PS: I can’t type in codes here…
That is fine… Im sure when the new bbpress comes out i will revamp the forums completely. But for the time being i would sill like to know how to call on the current poster for the single page forum.
btw @gregfielding you profile page is amazing.
@uloga great, can’t wait to ser them either. +1
@murasaki – this is the code I used to show either “(3) Friends” or just “Friends” based on how many requests that users has on there profile page.
<li><a href="/members/user_login; ?>/friends">Friends</a></li>
<li><a href="/members/user_login; ?>/friends"><span style="font-weight:bold">()</span> Friends</a></li>
and you can do the same thing with Messages
<li><a href="/members/user_login; ?>/messages/inbox">Messages</a></li>
<li><a href="/members/user_login; ?>/messages/inbox"><span style="font-weight:bold">()</span> Messages</a></li>
hope this helps.
