So the instructions for “automatic conversion” aren’t very thorough cuz I keep discovering pages not listed that need to be manually converted. Registration and activation pages etc.
But here’s a different ? regarding customization. I am trying to get the member profile/login section into the sidebar. http://xtreme.transmutationsciences.com/activity and I have copied some code from another theme and have gotten that section in there. However, as you can see, the subsequent widgets aren’t cooperating and acting as if the login box was right justified.
The original sidebar was:
`
`
The significant item in the other theme’s code is “
When I copied the new sidebar I originally kept their version of the sidebar hook. But the section did not display. When I substituted “ the section displayed but then I have the alignment problem.
Can anyone diagnose my ineptitude?
Full sidebar code from the theme I an borrowing the code from.

<a href="”>
<a class="button logout" href="”>
<?php printf( __( ' You can also create an account.’, ‘buddypress’ ), site_url( BP_REGISTER_SLUG . ‘/’ ) ) ?>
Why abandoned? Didn’t the owner say he would pick up the bp issues after that?
Buddypress was designed for only one theme to be guaranteed to work on, (or maybe more themes now) but buddypress does not guarantee complete 100% comparability to all themes, you have to make it and tweak it to work on your theme. And some themes just were not built for buddypress, so if buddypress is an absolute need, maybe a theme change wouldn’t hurt.
@pcwriter … Actually, the post may be old, but I just posted the other day … so thanks for your fast response! And, yes, @mercime is correct – we now learn more and can use the plugin more effectively.
I’d double-check that the admin email is correct at yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
Then, make sure that the emails aren’t being zapped by your SPAM filter.
Do you get regular BuddyPress notifications (friend requests, private messages, etc.) to the admin email?
Is your email hosted on the same server as your site? You might try switching the admin email to gmail or whatever to see if the emails go to that other account. Because if your email account is the same as your website domain but you host your email elsewhere (ex. Rackspace, Google Apps), your server might be trying to send the message locally.
I didn’t see any BuddyPress plugins designed to do exactly this, but the functionality seems quite simple. It seems as though they are just filtering updates in some way and then displaying all of the appropriate posts. The ability to create these “announcements” would need to be limited to just moderators and administrators.
As the admin on a BuddyPress site (http://www.scotiasurfer.com), I am not receiving not receiving New User Registration emails. In other words, I am not being alerted when someone signs up.
I am using WordPress 3.0.4 and BuddyPress 1.2.7. I do not have multi-site activated.
Hello,
I have stumbled to this topic while searching how to change the time of activation link before it expires.
So, @kriskl how much time it takes before activation link expires when registering to your site?
I have similar problem. The default time of 2 hours looks like very insufficient for users. We have almost no spam registrations and still there are many abandoned registrations.
On the net there is no easily reachable info how to change this configuration. I have posted two threads on WP.com, still no news. Hope some of you people can help or give an idea where is that php that sets the time period.
I am trying a local install and getting this error – Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_meta()
whenever I try to activate this plugin.
The complete error is `backticks`Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_meta() in wampwwwwordpresswp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-forums.php on line 530`backticks`
Down to just one error ‘Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/collabbo/public_html/figshare.com/figures/extensions/buddypress-activity/buddypress-activity.php on line 75’
Line 75 is ‘$checkRecentArray = mysql_fetch_array($checkrecent);’
I’m still getting my head around buddypress, so far so good but I’ve hit a snag where I want certain users who are flagged as an ‘expert’ to automatically accept any friend requests people.
I’ve found a couple of functions related to this but I think I’m missing something that would make this simpler such as setting a constant or overriding part of the $bp global…
What I have so far is the following:
`
function bp_auto_accept_friend_request( $friendship_id, $friendship_initiator_id, $friendship_friend_id ) {
// auto accept
if ( is_user_expert( $friendship_friend_id ) ) {
// force add
friends_accept_friendship( $friendship_id );
friends_add_friend( $friendship_initiator_id, $friendship_friend_id, true );
}
}
add_action(‘friends_friendship_requested’, ‘bp_auto_accept_friend_request’, 200, 3);
`
Can anyone tell me where I should be looking to make this nice and seamless just as if the main settings were set to bypass the request process please?
The description is not really that helpful. basically you can define certain xprofile fields to link directly to external URLs. e.g youtube, facebook, twitter, external website….etc etc
you need to manually alter the .php file in the instruction but this is very simple to do and it comes with a few stock media sites setup already.
Very good and very simple
You are using a custom theme as soon as you do that you enter a new realm and need to know what you are doing, this particular theme Suffusion uses a custom menu of some description and BP directory menu items will not be included by default. BP hard codes these menus links in header.php (soon to change to WP nav menus)
You! have to do a little manual work in getting things to work and need to understand how both Suffusion and BP work, this act of trying to get BP to use any old WP theme is not a natural one.
In all honesty you have simply asked this question in entirely the wrong place – and perhaps I should have said this much earlier – The correct place to have addressed these issues would have been to the theme home, Suffusion has it’s own support and if you had asked there would probably have had this wrapped up and solved in no time. Strictly speaking this site supports BP and BP default theme it can’t be expected to support digressions and third party implementations – other than the plugins that have a group support home on the site.
I looked through suffusion support for you and quickly got an impression of what may be wrong however this is not something I ought to be doing for anyone
@jordashtalon how i can get post name, post url & other as you did it for the author name ($authorName = $activities_template->activities[$i]->display_name;)?
Please follow this step once more: disable whatever child theme is running and activate the bp-default theme from the dashboard/themes page, now running the default buddypress theme you should have a directory named ‘Groups’, on that page is a button next to the primary page heading which creates a new group (assuming that create new groups is enabled in the BP settings in the dashboard – components settings > ‘Let users create, join and participate in groups’).
If not then you have a defective install of the default theme and perhaps need to re-upload a fresh copy.
If you do have the create group button as expected then you have an issue withthe suffusion child theme not set up correctly but this is something that is harder to help with, this support site is primarily support for the core BP app and theme, third party themes and configurations are harder to help with unless someone has direct experience with those custom elements.
