BuddyPress.org

you could try this https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-profile-privacy/ and set those two fields for just user view. I mean if you really don’t want user themselves to see something they’ve inputted I guess you could use CSS to display:none for that field.(thats not the best way) but I would want to know where information I input went to, so in those 2 fields description you can say this is only visible to them from the profile page.

Your theme needs to be updated for BP 1.2.7. Did you use the Template Pack to add support into Platform theme?

I forgot to add it’s something we’re adding to BuddyPress 1.3, however.

Woah, don’t shout (uppercase) please.

Do you need to install BuddyPress’ forums as “existing installation”? If you don’t have an existing, external bbPress installation, click the new install button.

Here’s what I came up with and it works the way I need it..

I added the following function to the “buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-templatetags.php” file.

`function bp_the_short_topic_title() {
echo bp_get_the_short_topic_title();
}
function bp_get_the_short_topic_title() {
global $forum_template;
$topic = $forum_template->topic->topic_title;

if (strlen($topic) > 35)
{
$output = substr($topic, 0, 35).’…’;
}
else
{
$output = $forum_template->topic->topic_title;
}
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_the_topic_title’, stripslashes($output) );
}`

then just replaced bp_the_topic_title() with bp_the_short_topic_title() where I needed it shortened.

@hnla – I think that works for now.

@ChuckNJ and @phyz: thanks for using and liking our theme. We are very interested in feedback and examples of how others are using it. Please check out our demo page, FAQ and documentation is also following soon on there.

Great idea @r-a-y, ala Ning with front end posting and possibly using each member’s username as parent category or even post type.

@Shonnaedwards one way of doing allowing members to post articles without a plugin is by giving new users the role of “Contributors” or above just like many WP multi-author blogs thereby allowing members access to backend to post articles.

For a plugin solution, try this one https://buddypress.org/community/groups/one-quick-post/ where members can post from the front end and you can keep members/users’ roles to suscriber level.

Other than site admin checks, BuddyPress doesn’t use or check for specific roles or capabilities anywhere. So, in terms of regular users, there is no difference between a subscriber and a contributor for the BuddyPress features.

That’d never get into core . If you think you’ve found an issue with timestamps, and you are sure you have configured everything correctly, post a bug report on https://trac.buddypress.org/ please with full details of what exactly is wrong. A screenshot would be mega helpful, too.
