BuddyPress.org

For others who are frustrated by add_submenu_page – using WPMU2.9.1 BP1.13

to BuddyPress menu in WP-admin

function add_menu_link(){



add_submenu_page( 'bp-general-settings', "YOUR MENU", "Your Title ",

'manage_options', 'your-plugin-slug', 'your_function');

}

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'add_menu_link', 20);

// NOTE the addition of a higher priority seems to solve the problems where

//  WPMU starts trying to tell you that you don't have access (url is admin.php/?c=1)

I can’t take credit for this – the solution was here

I am running into this same problem in 1.1.3 with the groups extension api. I found a semi-ridiculous work around – name your plugin directory something that comes after “Buddypress” in the alphabet. Does any one know a way of specifying plugin dependencies?

Also, I never had this problem until I upgraded to mu 2.9.1. I can’t reproduce this issue on any of my pre-2.9.1 installations. On the older versions BP plugins always manage to get loaded after Buddypress.

There is a multilingual plugin for BP available which does this:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/

I don’t know if it’s compatible with the BP 1.1 or the upcoming 1.2. I need this as well so we should look into it then

Also take a look at this ticket I made today: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1593

If the “supergroup” feature would be implemented it would mean that you could make different “homes” for different countries/regions and still have a central homepage where all sitewide content is shown.

I think it would be good to set up separate blogs for separate languages — as in: if people don’t want the interface language to be different, then I expect they won’t want the discussions to be in a different language, either.

I tried WPML and it (or my hosting) is simply too slow. I just decided to set up separate blogs instead — and I hope I can install buddypress in 2 (or more) versions … I don’t think there’s an easy way of having 1 instance of buddypress work in English here, in German there, etc., right?

I haven’t been able to find much information about buddypress in German — I think I read the language files need to use the German buddypress (is that right? doesn’t really make sense to me)…

So, yea: I’m quite confused again… O_O

The @ thing is a Twitter hack which was came about out of necessity due to Twitter’s limitations. BuddyPress has no such limitations. Let’s not copy Twitter’s @ and # hacks. BuddyPress can do the same thing in a much more user-friendly and intuitive way… by clicking an action link for instance. Relying on raw text strings? Bad idea. I think.

Well,

I was able to get it to work quite well from its main ‘Events’ page so thats one step.

I just want to use it from another page – just not sure exactly how the calls are being made etc.

Hey Mariusooms,

Can you share the wpml-auto-settings plugin? I’m in need of something very similar.

Cheers,

Nuno

salut mr maz

i’m running

wpmu 2.8.6 with bp 1.1.3 and your plugin bp-link

It worked like a charm, could create some links.

but now i’m getting this php erro by creating a link :

Call to undefined function bp_link_creation_tabs() in /homepages/41/d278410228/htdocs/wp-content/themes/bp-default/links/create.php on line 5

any ideas ?

thanks in advance

There is some functionality written by TravelJunkie which allows you to create group types. Find his post here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/soon-to-release-bp-group-control-plugin

@Erich73: Supergroups are similar and could be seen as another group category.. The ideal situation would be if you could create different categories and could also say which category could do what. For instance:

Group Cat 1: Can use forums, activity stream and groupblog plugin

Group Cat 2: Only forums

Group Cat 3: Supergroup which can do all + has an extended activity stream as described in trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1593

To make it ever better it would also be cool if you could set up different desciption fields to fill in per group;

category 1 : Info, history, goals

category 2: Name, description, latest news

There must be someone who could help us out with this guys

edit: I am willing to pay for this plugin to be developed. Might not be the only one I think?!

Given all the problems listed on this thread, the utter lack of responsiveness and vague claims on the plugin site, why even bother trying?

** Ignore the previous post **

I had the links folder in the parent not the default. My bad. Now your plugin is totally filled with awesomeness

@sven. I had this problem in the past, because my mods in bp-custom.php were being overwritten when bp loaded itself.

The details on how to get them to occur after bp has loaded, are in this thread:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/remove-menu-from-admin-bar#post-22856

or, as John points out above, they can go in functions.php which is called afterwards.

Hey MrMaz,

Sorry to hear about the drive

I am failrly new to bp and your plugin looks to be a winner. I am however encountering a few issues – mainly with the display of the links.

The site can be seen – http://6×9.co.za/

Specifically – the voting options don’t appear to show or work.

Do nothing for me

Currently running on WordPress MU 2.8.6 and the latest BP release.

ANyways keep up the excellent work. This looks to be an awesome plugin.

You can easily implement hashtags by making all words with # before it a “tag” in the main blog where BuddyPress is installed. Then you would automatically have a popular subjects cloud (by using the cloud widget).

Hi Michelle,

I think I know where the problem lies.. BuddyPress 1.1 does not need the BPPress integration plugin and it might actually cause problems. So I would advise you to uninstall BuddyPress completely remove buddypress (also remove the BuddyPress tables from the database) and disable and delete the BB integration. Then install BP again and activate the forum component on your BuddyPress admin page.

Let me know if this helps

Some pointers (check the other two threads in the forum directory 1st page for more info):

1) BP supports single WP in the latest trunk – http://trac.buddypress.org. Currently still in development but is due out fairly soon.

2) BP uses bbpress forums internally. If you don’t require the extra features of BP I’d suggest just using bbpress

Does anyone have an experience of running this plugin but not from its main page?

I want to run a search from another of my pages but not sure how to use the capabilities of this plugin.

Would appreciate some help with that.

Thanks,

Shai
