Yeah, I was in midst of correcting that hopefully before you saw it. Haste made waste.
function my_adminbar_name () {
global $bp;
echo '<a>root_domain . '" id="admin-bar-logo">Welcome Connect</a>';
}
remove_action('bp_adminbar_logo','bp_adminbar_logo');
add_action('bp_adminbar_logo','my_adminbar_name');
EDIT – Works when you put this in your active theme’s functions.php file (instead of the bp-custom.php file in plugins directory as mentioned above. Thanks to @DJPaul in this post).
Diaspora has one failing goal and that is to compete with Facebook.
With Bp Album + you can only upload one picture at a time. Users prefer selecting batch uploading. Also, only one album per user is possible. I know that there is supposed to come the new version out which has all those features, but the release date is unsure. I am pretty certain that bp is not going away but most likely diaspora will also be around.
I’m very new to all this and I’m sure this questions has been asked before: how do I install buddypress? do I need to install wordpress first? can the two be installed separately? I cant find anything in support and although I have read the ‘read me’ document in the download, I cant figure it out…
Bp-Privacy plugin was just released and Bp Album + works great.
In my opinion Diaspora is a flash in the pan. BP is not going away.
Trying to figure out which software would fit best for my next project. Did I forget any advantages or disadvantages?
diaspora advantages
– pictures
– mobile
– social
– communication between server pods
diaspora disadvantages
– no group add-on
– no event add-on yet
– no search engine traffic
– monetizing difficult (no public content for adsense)
buddypress advantages
– events (monetize with paypal)
– groups
– mobile add-on
– social
buddypress disadvantage
– no good album plugin
– depends on wordpress (could be also an advantage)
– no privacy addon
FYI: I will be moving these themes out of the WordPress repo. It takes too long for BuddyPress themes to get reviewed and updated. I have a group here so you can get updates. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/citizen-kane-theme/
I modified bp-groups.php as mentioned in other posts. Two steps:
1) Comment out or delete the following line (it was line 201 for me):
`bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Home’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘home’, ‘parent_url’ => $group_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘groups_screen_group_home’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘home’ ) ); `
2) Add the following function and call in the bp-groups file (I just stuck it at the very end):
`function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );
$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );
if (bp_is_group_home()) bp_core_redirect( apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $bp->bp_options_nav) );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );`
Seems like this should be a simple toggle in the admin for a future release. I fail to see the functionality for an activity stream for a forum where people are posting activity. . .it was confusing for my users. .
@coaster101
In your WordPress backend, go to “Settings” > “General” and modify the “Site Title”. Whatever you enter there will be displayed in the adminbar.
and following the unsuccessful plugin update . I can’t view the site anymore , as I get this Fatal error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_page_title() in …../wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/header.php on line 9
where do I start ? update-notification.php or somewhere in a config ?
any ideas, anybody? there appears to be no documentation or other troubleshooting threads surrounding this error.
This is the error I get after upgrading my buddypress plugin to the latest version
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /homepages/9/d91581812/htdocs/community/wp-content/plugins/update-notifications.php on line 417
any ideas, anyone ?
Hello qprints, if I understand, you could do something like:
– Add a profile field called “Proffession” in the profile settings of buddypress.
– And in your theme, depending on the value each user has on the “Proffession” field, enqueue a css that overwrites the default css and does what it needs. Example:
`
// Get Profile Field value for the $user_id specified and the field name specified
if ( xprofile_get_field_data( “Proffession” , $user_id) == “Engineer” ); {
// Enqueue the css
wp_enqueue_style (‘engineer-style’,’css/engineer.css’);
}
`
Hope it helps…
There is a trac ticket for this and we are aware. I put a suggested fix into BuddyPress trunk but it didn’t seem to work.
can anyone tell me why when i click on a reply to a reply safari just closes, crashes? here is what safari crash report says
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000008
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
any advice would be appreciated i have verified this doesn’t happen on firefox ….running latest buddypress and replying to any of the main activity posts works …just when you reply to a reply it crashes
I am using a customised bp columns theme here and something like the community menu in this post.
I have one problem….
When one clicks on the news page, which is the blog and it’s not on the sites home page, everything is higlighted as expected. When one clicks on an article the parent menu isn’t highlighted.
There is one class ‘current_page_parent’ but If I target that css then when any of the communty pages is being looked at the news page is also highlighted. The community menu being ‘selected’ doesn’t stop wordpress giving the news page the current_page_parent class. I can give the community menu that class but it then appears twice….
Is there a solution?
This code works on my WP 3.0.4 Multisite, BP 1.2.7 install, but unfortunately it breaks my chat function. I use cometchat for buddypress, and as soon as applying this code in bp-custom.php in the plugins folder, cometchat breaks (does not show up at all). Any idea what can be causing this?
Gotta love GF.
Use the code below in your WP or BP theme functions.php file to tie a specific form to a custom post type.
Remember to set the form[“id”] to the id of the GF in the backend and then the slug of the CPT in the appropriate place below and that form will be tied to add posts to the CPT.
`
add_filter(“gform_post_data”, “update_post_type”, 10, 2);
function update_post_type($post_data, $form){
if($form[“id”] == ‘1’){
$post_data[“post_type”] = “custom-post-type”;
}
return $post_data;
}
`
Yeah, I thought it was that easy too. I took out that line of code in the member/single/home.php but the sidebar still shows up for some reason. I actually went in and took out that line of code for the member/single/index.php and for a few other files but the side bar is still showing up. I am running the buddypress template pack if that helps and I’m using my own custom theme.
Hello! I am install bbPress from BuddyPress, and I got problem: Where is the bbPress panel? I wants active plugins!
Hi! Bit of an old thread I know, but is there still no way to do this other than:
a) hacking the core with the diff @simonwheatley kindly posted
b) Hiding the button in the template, which technically leaves the functionality in place
Just had a look at the trunk and there still doesn’t seem to be anything there like this. Would have thought a lot of people would be after it!
Not sure, but it is probably done in the Buddypress menu.
