BuddyPress.org

Out of the box, BuddyPress has only one instance in a WP multisite installation and requires to be activated network-wide in order to aggregate information from subsites created.

This is not to say that it’s not possible to create BuddyPressMU (there are just awesome coders/programmers out there) — but with major changes coming up with BP 1.3, then WP 3.2, and then BP 1.4, etc how many times are you going to twist and turn to extend BuddyPress that way and get it working with all BP/WP plugins without the support and technical skills of a large community? But hey, that’s just me.

Of course if you’re one of the awesome coders/programmers I’m thinking of, this will not be an insurmountable challenge at all … it’ll be a walk in the park

Going back to your scenario, could create 4 physical subdomains (instead of one WP with 4 virtual subdomains) in addition to your main site and activate BP in each site = 5 BP instances. Others might like to chime in with better configuration.

== i got the pages to show in the footer now by creating the custom menu ==

Yes, you’re supposed to create the custom menu in Appearance > Menus as I mentioned in posts above

== but the pages still show a 404 error unless i am logged in as admin. are pages hidden or restricted in buddy press until logged in. ==

Looks like there was a redirect for a split second to sportzmoney.xn.com or something of that sort. Where did you download the bp-columns theme? Should be from WP repo.

Change theme to bp-default to check if Pages are still redirecting to 404

Glad you got it going. Good luck!
Cheers.

It’s either a CSS or a Javascript conflict, most likely. I haven’t time to install this other plugin and test, but maybe someone else does.

Hi,

Try reading these sections of the BuddyPress codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/#forums-setup

I have Group Forum options in the Notification Settings also. Will this plugin deal with that?

`bp_get_member_profile_data` is only specific to one member. It will not grab all users with a certain xprofile field nor is there a built-in function that will do what you want.

I’d write a custom function to return the user IDs that match a certain field. Then use the `include` parameter in the members loop to do what you want to do.

eg. `if ( bp_has_members( ‘include=’ . my_custom_function() ) ) : `

`my_custom_function()` will have to be written!

If you know your way around WordPress, check out the `wp_bp_xprofile_data` table in your DB and a way to query the WPDB for hints. The `xprofile_get_field_id_from_name()` function will help as well.

This isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

If you know your way around WordPress, here’s one way of doing what you want to achieve:

The favorite count for each activity item is stored in the activity meta table (wp_bp_activity_meta). So you could probably query the DB and grab all the “activity_id” sorted descendingly by the “favorite_count” meta_value.

Then you could use a BP activity loop and use the `include` parameter to add the activity IDs you grabbed from your WPDB query.

Hey Andrew,

You can customize these types of messages by modifying the language file:

@jmilotaylor could be theme, plugin and/or server configurations/compatibility

@naijaping can you share what caused the overflow and how you resolved this?

Recommend that you post your question re slideshow in Custom Community theme to Themekraft Devs @svenl77 and @konradS at http://themekraft.com/forums/

@kumaraneks Welcome to BuddyPress.

Many of your requirements are available out-of-the-box with BuddyPress. Some others are met by plugins. Test drive BuddyPress at http://testbp.org/ to see available features.

BP requires a solid WordPress installation – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/

BP Components like Forums, Groups, etc. – https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
and https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-site-administration/buddypress-forum/
and https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/group-settings-and-roles/

Check out BP plugins – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=buddypress&sort=

I needed to do this recently too… this is the technique I used:

$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $group_id ) );

Found on http://bluemandala.com/buddypress-plugin/127/buddypress-get-group-details-from-group_id/

So in order to get the link to your groups try something like this

global $bp;
$group = groups_get_group( array( ‘group_id’ => $group_id ) );
home_url( $bp->groups->slug . ‘/’ . $group -> slug )

Your theme’s block of code for main navigation is from line 94 to 113 in http://pastebin.com/w0cGZvji
If you are using wp_nav_menu feature, you can easily add links to your BP Component pages in Appearances > Menu area.

also, from @sbrajesh, an alternative to the the Stealth Mode for Super Admins – Put this code in bp-custom.php and None of the site admin activity will be recorded nor will you appear in the Who is Online/ recently active members widget. –

`add_action(“plugins_loaded”,”bpdev_init_sm_mode”);
function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){
if(is_site_admin())
remove_action(“wp_head”,”bp_core_record_activity”); //id SM is on, remove the record activity hook
}`
