Thanks for response!
@nahummadrid , by using posts & comments , only admin and authors can post questions. To allow visitor posting, something else is needed

@Bowromir , Basically, I need the Q&A system play nicely with main BP features and plugins. Especially a rating sytem which can communicate between BP user stats and Q&A results, also allows the rating result to be hooked up with Achievments plugin.
Other features include the ability of allowing anybody to start a post (the qurestion), registration is not required but the offer is provided; question are sortable by category or by tag; Each question has its own permalink; Questions has a list page; Questions and Answers can be listed under user’s home page nav tab,
The premium theme Instant-QA is really nice as an independant system. But I think a lot of works still needed to tweak it working with BP user profile and multisite. So, maybe it’s better dive into BP straight?
I tried Question-and-Answer-Forum plugin, it doesn’t register the post type with BP properly so that things are not running on BP; I also tried One-Quick-Post, it could work as Q&A if remove other un-related stuffs and add a rating system, but the code seems not stable in itself, Things are not smooth even without any tweaking, so I think it not worth working on.
I think the most posible smooth model is the BP activity component? — maybe make an Activity clone, remove un-related functions, allow guest post, then, adding user stats and rating system become simple.

All my thoughts might be un-realistic because I don’t have coding experience. Hope you guys continue shading lights on….

Seems nobody is interested. Then, any suggestion for me? a plugin to work on?

@pcwriter,

Thanks for that. white-space:normal; helps with my x-axis fields and it works perfectly.

Now, however, I am trying to limit the height of my “about me” field. I’m using max-height:400px; but white-space causes the browsers to ignore the limit. What I really want is: white-space:normal; max-height: 400px; overflow-y:auto; but firefox is the only one that shows it properly. The others all revert to scroll bars, even safari.

Ugh.

key, with a little search, in bp-activity-templatetags.php i search this:

`$content .= apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_permalink’, ‘ · activity->id, $activities_template->activity ) . ‘” class=”view” title=”‘ . __( ‘View Thread / Permalink’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘”>’ . __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘‘, &$activities_template->activity );`

Then i delete
` class=”view”`

The link now is working perfectly without AJAX. Thanks

Thank you @mercime! I was just able to create a blog. But now I am confused!!!
For example, in my prompt, i entered blog name which appears directly under the root of the site. Ex: xyz.com/MyNewBlog1/ – this is a bit confusing…

Whenever a user is creating a personal blog, he/she really creates a sub-site (with its own template and everything else…) – is this correct?
If yes, then is it possible to force the new blog URLs to follow this patters:

1) /members/username/blogs/MyFirstBlogName/
OR
2) /members/username/blog/MyFirstBlogName/
OR
3) /members/username/MyFirstBlogName/

If one of the above patterns is used, then it is easier to understand that the blog belongs to a user, rather then the top-level site.

Thank you again!

PS: Wow – this community support is awsome. Much better than some of the paid support. Lets not get into names here …. .

Thank you for a super fast reply. However, I red documentation, and it is for the previous version of BuddyPress / WordPress.
Site Admin -> Options -> Allow New Registrations > set to: “Only Logged In Users Can Create New Blogs” – is no longer available!!!

Could you guide a BuddyPress/WordPress noob please?

If i need to change the code, I am fine with this – I have a software development background.

Thank you for a reply!

Yes, I am pretty sure that MultiSite is enabled.
I did the following check:
From the ‘Network Admin’ I added new site and called it ‘SubSite1’; the URL of SubSite1 is: xyz.com/SubSite1/.
The SubSite1 has it’s own blog where I can add a post, etc. The blog of SubSite1 is also listed in the top level site: xyz.com/blogs/.
So, there is a capability to have one blog per one sub-site.

The question still remains, how can one blog per one BuddyPress user can be enabled?

I include the contents of wp-config.php for your reference (just in case you wonder what is there):
…
I have some passowrds infor here…
…
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true);
define( ‘MULTISITE’, true );
define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false );
$base = ‘/’;
define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘cfbp.dev’ );
define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’ );
define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 );
/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-settings.php’);

Thank you for taking the time to help me

I disabled all plugins except buddypress. Problem remains.

I was using wordpress for a few months before deciding to upgrade to buddypress.

@mercime
Thanks a ton for the feedback, as always. I added a few more pixels to the middle – it’s a tough balance!
