BuddyPress.org

Ercih, if you set your bp groups to be PRIVATE, the forum in that group is actually using bbpress; and will be visible to users that go directly to bbpress itself — they can read, post new topics, edit, delete their topics — just like a normal bbpress stuffs that really defeats the purpose of having a privacy option for BP Groups, i.e. those that is setup with forum.

I hope I am completely wrong; but this is what I am seeing with my wpmu2.8.6+bp1.1.3+bbpress1.0.2

Hmm just noticed that if I go to someone else’s profile and click the “links” section, I see this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function friends_check_friendship() in /home2/puetq/public_html/mysite.com/v2/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-classes.php on line 656

What would cause this error?

I am not sure I understand:

are you saying, that if you create a “Private Group” within BP, then the associated “Group-Forum” is not private ?

So when creating a private Group, the Forum-posts are still visible by everybody ?

I think this capability is something important that is missing in bp groups. The concept of group and its integration with bbpress are certainly expanding the users interaction within bp groups; yet the privacy of groups discussion is not assured.

Firstly, is there a quick fix to autohide all bp groups forum from bbpress forum? I have not enabled group forum support because of this issue; and currently only using a separate install of bbpress integrated with wordpress as a place for general forum discussion. Hiding the whole forum is certainly not a totally acceptable solution especially when there are thousands of existing topics that are already there and not associated with any groups.

Secondly, what is the code to check if the logged user is a member of a group with forum id that can be done from bbpress with deep integration; this could be added in bbpress to limit access to group topics where the logged in user is not a member.

Hey all,

Here’s my version of bp-link: http://zipyourmix.com/music-links

Hope you like it

Fantastic plugin which I came across in error

However I see a problem:

1) I’ve posted my first link and set it to private, so only I can see it… But after posting the link, there’s no way of deleting it via the admin panel as it doesnt appear.

Yes you can delete it from the front end, but thought Id report this anyway in case you wasn’t aware.

I’m using BP 1.1.3 and WP 2.8.6

Other than the above- Fantastic plugin. Probably the best 3rd party one ive come across yet

**EDIT** I see the problem now- If you made the link public, it will then display in the admin panel. However don’t you think admins should be able to see ALL links, private or not?

it’s possible that they’ve somehow managed to get your database information from the config file, and they’re posting the new registrations directly to the database, you may need to change the database password

I also use the email login plugin, but generate a username from the fullname using Javascript (link is for blogname from blog title, but the principle is the same). I think that’s a cleaner solution that avoids a lot of the issues you ran into.

I resume this post. My main buddypress installation must be in Italian, but I’d like to create a blog inside which uses english text for international users.

Is it possible?

wp-touch is for a blog not BP. You would have to convert all the BP files to a mobile format. I’m waiting for new theme to be released before making a mobile version.

It will be based on one of the dev kits, iWebkit or iUI. so it will look like a native app.

I haven’t seen much whining on this forum Eric73. Almost all the post on this forum are informative and friendly and I think everyone is doing a pretty good job helping others and contributing as much as they can. If people would stop “complaining” it would mean that BuddyPress would be perfect (not gonna happen) or people would stop caring about the software (which is bad).

There are always a few people who post a few useless posts or unneeded threads but so far that was handled by the members or by the mods.. So I would rather advise everyone to keep on whining in the way they’re doing it right now

Nexia any news on this? I agree that this would be fantastic to have something similar in buddypress.

Ps. I recognise you from vbteam (I think)

Sounds like this issue’s solved. The extra memory that BuddyPress might use must have just pushed your server over the edge.

has anyone tried wp-touch? works dandy in MU.

If you check the roadmap you can see that 1.2 is unfortunately running a little behind schedule. Given some of the changes that are happening, I think a lot of us are more than willing to wait.

As for your issue, you could go and manually change the string in bp_core_time_since() to display something more appropriate than the GMT string. This would at least temporarily address the cosmetic issue until 1.2 is available.

As for the activity stream stuff, that’s rather curious. To me it suggests that there is some sort of problem sorting the activities based on their dates. When you look at the blog entries directly (not in the activity stream), do they have valid dates?

My pleasure. Good luck getting acquainted with BuddyPress

As for your other question, here are a few places to start:

1) Make a Gender field and a Enter the Competition field in Dashboard > BuddyPress > Profile Fields. Make sure they’re required on registration.

2) If by “top nav menu” you mean the thing that floats across the top of the screen, you can add to it by creating a button inside of a php function, then using add_action to attach the function to the bp_adminbar_menus hook. See buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php to see how it works in the core code.

3) Use a plugin like JJJ’s https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/ to create the filters that will populate the pages that the “Men” and “Women” dropdowns will point to.

i had the same problem with Strato and the plw123 plugin

without the plugin wpmu doesn’t work, but with it buddypress doesn’t work at all

here is what you need to do!!!!

you need to reinstall WPMU after editing a few files to force it to use the “www” prefix, and you will only be able to use sub-directories.

edit line 9 and 10 in wpmu-settings.php, just comment them out or remove them.

then go to index-setup.php and do the same with lines 515 and 516

then go down in that same file and do the same with lines 683 to 687

then go down to line 696 and do the same there

now reinstall wpmu and make sure to put the “www” in front of the domain name although it tells you not to do so. now wpmu and buddypress both work.

you can do the same thing without reinstalling, but that requires you to make the changes for the domain name manually in the database..

success!!!!!

Hello,

I’ve a problem I hope I can get help on. I’ve successfully set up forums under the buddypress menu. However, when I set up a group (and enable discussion forums) I’m still unable to post a new topic. I click on the ‘post new’ link and nothing happens. Have I missed something along the line? thanks

@Mike Pratt

I think from a development perspective, it was easier to avoid the WP profile entirely, since it’s far too limited in what you can do with it. Like you can’t (in the DB) easily tell the WP profile screen which dynamic field type to use for each dynamic field. Since BuddyPress took the direction of being entirely theme based, it made sense to make a whole new profile with a more direct apprach to setting the fields and getting/updating the data.

For 1.3 there will be a more powerful xprofile system that makes for smarter fields.

Hey just saw this posted.

Any word on mobile themes or solutions for Buddypress?

– Jeff –

.

Probably because you’re using the BuddyPress theme (which of course requires BuddyPress to be active).

Looks like you need to hire someone – https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board
