BuddyPress.org

Thanks guys, thanks to @Travel-Junkie ‘s code, I am now able to make an exception for the Links Directory, based on the ‘links’ slug.

However, I’ve now also been asked if we can’t get the individual link page (www.website.tld/links/…) to be an exception too… Can I count on you again?

There are lots of CSS hooks so you can customize the look of your messages pages. It would be easiest to just use some creative theming and create the effect. You could hide most profile information/avatar using CSS.

Or you could also try creating a custom page template using the private messages loop and adjust the parameters to suit your needs.

If you go to /buddypress/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classess.php and along line 80 you’ll see:

`if ( !is_user_logged_in() || ( !is_super_admin() && ( $user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) )
$hidden_sql = “AND wb.public = 1”;`

If you change it to:
`if ( !is_user_logged_in() || ( !is_super_admin() && ( $user_id != $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) )
/****Adjusted value to display any blogs that do not require logging in to view. (Original value = 1)****/
$hidden_sql = “AND wb.public > -1”;`

It will show any blog that doesn’t require a login. You can change the -1 to what every level of privacy you want.

Hope that helps.

@tubruk to troubleshoot why you can’t create groups, you will need to strip down to default BuddyPress installation because a custom theme or a plugin may be interfering with what can easily be done – creating groups – with a clean BuddyPress installation.

That’s why I suggest that you change your theme to default theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress. Clear cache. Then see if you can create groups.
– If you can create groups, then change theme back to your custom theme and check if you can create groups. If not, then the problem is your custom theme. Contact theme author.
– If you can create groups, then activate BP plugins one by one to see which one is interfering with your group creation. If a plugin interferes with your group creation, contact plugin author.

Sounds like a transition from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 and custom theme pages not updated .

`do_action( ‘bp_directory_members_actions’ )`

Is where the buttons in question are called from now

Do you still have “?

This lists the changes between 1.2.5 and 1.2.6:
`https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset?old_path=%2Ftags%2F1.2.5%2Fbp-themes%2Fbp-default%2Fmembers&old=&new_path=%2Ftags%2F1.2.6%2Fbp-themes%2Fbp-default%2Fmembers&new=3916`

Do you mean a different home page when logged in or you just want activity on home page? That’s easily done by going to settings > reading in admin and then choosing activity stream as the static front page.

This has already been built (we paid for it).

Works really well, dwenaus did a superb job on it, maybe dwenaus would like to package it into the official plugin?

Sorry for the delay. It will be in your theme’s folder. If you are using the BP default theme then it will be in: your_wordpress_folder/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default

If you are using this then it will probably be worth creating a child theme so that you don’t loose any changes with plugin upgrades. If that is what you want to do then I can give you some help there too.

I am interested in this, too

@joshua_d Yes, I’ve seen an earlier version.

Does this link help you?

I agree with the OP. While it might be a big task, it would be a nice gesture for the core developers to incorporate the code into the core.

Eh, since this isn’t really a problem with the buddypress software… upgrading bp is not mandatory. But it is encouraged. Upgrading bp fixes bugs for you, and your users you didn’t even know existed! Especially if your still at 1.2.3. Eeek!

Upgrading your wp is more important, and I would strongly recommend you do, as it could fix your issue ^^ above, as well as security updates and other critical things.

Found solution on my buddypress site – This drove me crazy .. My clients wanted ‘Profile’ to show first when their link was clicked on. OK, makes sense for this site.
1. Did not work: This method broke my buddydress theme in IE (but not Mozilla) – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’); ‘ to bp-custom.php and uploading it to /wp-content/plugins. .. useless for me.
2. Worked – adding ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);’ to my wp-config.php file (up top, above – ‘// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //’) – UREEKA BABY!!
I’m using buddypress 1.2.7 , buddydress themes and wordpress 3.0.4 – Hope this helps someone..

For privacy options to be added to buddypress core, I would presume it will have to be seen & tested by many eyes.
After 16 months of development & not seeing a single line of code or a name who has tested the code in question, I’d be surprised if it made it, but fingers are still crossed as it’s a well needed component.
However, the developer has stated that the code, when released will not be buddypress 1.3 compatible, so getting it into core will obviously require some work.
Not bashing anyone.

@modemlooper not bashing, just asking a question.

@tubruk WP/BPversions? Change to bp-default theme, keep BP activated and deactivate all other plugins.
