BuddyPress.org

Core team are working on this.

@hsiaolungchang Read through the example of the BP Template Pack process https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/bp-template-pack-walkthrough-level-easy-2/

Note that there is usually a pattern to the HTML structures you will be imposing from your design onto the template pack files. The code you posted above for page.php is incomplete closing divs and get_footer code.

I agree that this is major issue in BuddyPress – people tend to reply to e-mail notifications instead of going back to the BuddyPress platform and posting a reply there.

As far as I understand the Mail From plugin simply defines one overall sender address. You can enter the admin’s email address here, and he will get all the reply mails. But that’s not what you want – you want the reply beeing posted to the discussion thread in BuddyPress. 37signal’s Basecamp does this nicely. Is there a plugin capable of doing this?

Hi, I would like to ask how was your progress with this? I am also interested in a QA Feature that is tigghtly integrated with Buddypress to have e.g. a QA area for a group only.

@DJPaul – I hear what you’re saying… really. But WP isn’t into taking criticism even if it’s dished out very delicately. They delete any criticism.

But good news … After WP caused plug-in developers to pull out their hair for 48 hours, BP Albums + is back in action and it works now. So if anyone was holding out updating just because of this, it’s working. Here’s the thread. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/forum/topic/unable-to-upload/

Sorry to trouble everyone again with this… but if anyone could spare a minute to point out what I’m doing wrong, it would be greatly appreciated. Free Herbs for everyone!

This is from the page.php from my template.
`

You could create your own home page by a) creating `home.php` (a special WP template recognized by BP) or by b) creating custom `Page Template` set as front page
which contain:
1. widgetized areas – see this bp-default child theme for example https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/buddypress-widget-theme
and/or
2. special BP and WP loops and/or template tagsto call in data

Just re-looking at this thread 5 months later… Having the ability to cache avatars would be a huge load savings for all of us using CDNs… Any more progress or thoughts on this?

@jillian, found the little snippet in the plugin from bbpress and attempted to implement it for you, experimenting myself: @r-a-y, help me on any corrections:

`// update meta
$value = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic);
add_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic, $value+1);`

Than the function added:

`function bp_the_topic_view_count($topic_id = false, $echo = true) {
global $action_variables;
global $bp;
global $forum_template;

if($topic_id == false)
$views = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$forum_template->topic->topic_id);
else
$views = get_site_option($bp->current_component”_topic_views_”.$topic_id);

if(!$views)
return false;

if($echo)
{
if($views == 1)
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” view” );
else
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” views” );
}else
{
if($views == 1)
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” view” );
else
return apply_filters( ‘bp_the_topic_post_count’, $views.” views” );

}
`

Not tested.

You can’t if you’re not familiar with code, as it takes some time getting used to how the plugin developer wrote the code to begin with and how to make it fit within BuddyPress.

You should be able to modify the code to make it fit within a member’s profile… will just take time and work!

You might also be interested in a new plugin Boone Gorges is building called “BuddyPress Docs”:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs

FYI, it’s in development and shouldn’t be used on a production site.

You need to port over a bbPress plugin and make it compatible with BuddyPress:
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-topic-views/

There’s already a ticket for this:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2164

Look through http://trac.buddypress.org and submit an enhancement request if there is not already a ticket for this.

@Dfa327 You can always set up advance options to have the video chat run on like a cdn as well.
