BuddyPress.org

Is the category system only going to be part of a later plugin release or can one already tweak the code now to enable it?

This is just off the top of my head. No guarantees. Try something like this:

<input type="image" name="search-submit" id="search-submit"

src="/path/to/your/submit.gif" alt="submit" />

Please realize that since you are hacking the core (making changes to a core BuddyPress file), the next time you update BP, your changes will be lost. Instead, you should create an alternate function for bp_search_form() and place that in a bp-custom.php file.

We’ve been having a related discussion in this thread. Are you using BlueHost as well? It does not really matter. The lessons in the link are the same.

The requested URL /community/members was not found on this server.

Do you have the default member theme (bpmember) installed in /wp-content/bp-themes/?

Group, Members, Blogs, Registration, does not work.

I assume registration is working fine now because I just visited your site and you have a newly registered member–a test account, I assume. The time on your OP clearly indicates that you started this thread before you registered that new account.

Finally, please go through this list of questions.

We do not have anymore details than you have read. Perhaps Andy will shed some light after he has recuperated from WordCamp SF.

In addition to that news, there was mention that WP.com will offer BuddyPress as well. So, as far as what this means for BuddyPress, your guess is as good as mine. Will BuddyPress be included as a simple “switch” to turn on? How about bbPress?

When will all this happen? The writer of that post speculates around WPv2.9. Who knows. Since this is such a major shift, to me it seems more like a version 3.0 event. But, this is also pure speculation.

I’m also on BlueHost and installing manually is as easy as installing with simplescripts. That said, I needed to install and reinstall fifty-million (ok, maybe eight) times to get things working right with forum integration, etc. What worked was breaking it down slowly slowly slowly. First WPMU, then buddypress and finally using these instructions for integrating bbpress:

http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/

The reason I had to reinstall so many times is I had trouble with the domains/subdirectories and finally had to change it out manually:

http://welcome.totheinter.net/2009/05/06/changing-wordpress-mu-from-subdomains-to-subdirectories/

It’s still buggy — I had some problems when I had to change out domains to get my site showing up in the right place — but I have hope it’s at least mostly working.

Peterverkooijen-

It seems like your not getting any traction with this issue. I understand your need to have a plugin that restricts group access to only those members within a group.

As I mentioned in the thread you referenced above, we are working on an overall privacy component for BuddyPress. What you are seeking will be one of the features of this component.

Perhaps someone will point out an existing plugin that I’m not aware of, or go and create it for you! But, if that does not happen, you at least know that this functionality is in the works.

I have one question

Here are the three answers to your one question!

Is it the case that anyone can register on the community and create a blog

You can control blog registration in WPMU’s backend. Log into the admin panel as site administrator and visit “Site Admin > Options > Allow new registrations”. There are a few settings which give you some basic control.

Can the community admin restrict who has the privilege to do that

If the community admin is the overall site admin, then see the first answer.

is it possible to make membership by invitation only?

This thread should help you with the buddybar issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2572#post-14039

running it on http://callcenterblogs.net

thank you for developing this. really!

any news about all this ?

This is the only thing missing for me to use Buddypress

Mratanas-

Unless a member has direct experience with a one-button installer, you will most likely not get much help here on how to use SimpleScripts on BlueHost.

But, you really should not be installing complex software platforms like WPMU by using third-party installers. You should manually install WPMU paying careful, close attention to the readme.txt file that comes with it.

You need to make sure that WPMU is working perfectly before you install any plugins. This includes BuddyPress. If you continue to have issues, you should visit the WPMU forums and see how others have solved their problems installing Mu on BlueHost. Once WPMU is working perfectly, install BuddyPress. If you then have issues, come back here and we’ll see what we can do.

To help us better help you, if you do come back with a BuddyPress-specific issue, please follow these instructions.

Peterverkooijen-

This issue is not resolved imho.

Your issue is not what this thread is about. The issue of the OP was resolved and so he marked it as such.

Posting a new request in a one-month old thread marked resolved will not get much attention. See here for more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2543

But, to provide some insight into your question, a couple of us are currently working on a full-featured privacy (authorization) component for BuddyPress. It is a ways off from being made available.

Hi I found that line which is the one for the button….:

<input type=”submit” name=”search-submit” id=”search-submit” value=”‘ . __( ‘Search’, ‘buddypress’ ) . ‘” />

‘ . wp_nonce_field( ‘bp_search_form’ ) . ‘

who knows how the line is when I want put in the buttonimage: searchbutton.gif ? So that it works with the look of that created button ?

Hi. Basics: What version of WPMU and BuddyPress are you using?

Also: What version of MySQL is your server running please? Also, I have heard BlueHost supports only subdirectory installs as it doesn’t support wildcard subdomains, so can you confirm you’re trying the subdirectory install?

If that last question makes no sense, try removing your WPMU / BP install and databases and try reuploading/reinstalling manually, not using SimpleScripts. A search on this forum has revelead at least one person saying that their problems on BlueHost went away after they did a manual install.

You are not doing anything wrong. Stop trying to do it right.

Groups only comes in these flavors: active, newest, popular, random

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-site-groups-loop/

I’m using that plugin as well and I’ve asked that same question here on the forum with no success. However, whether you’re using that sidebar plugin or not, I’m still having trouble getting a clear answer on how to replace WP code linking to the author in your custom theme to the profile page in Buddypress.

In other words, how do I change <?php the_author_posts_link(); ?> from my custom home theme to <‘author’s buddypress profile link’> in order to reach that author’s profile page?

Thx

The default sort order for directories is ‘active’. It dispays the most recently active first in the directory. You can change that by using a different sort order in your theme. See the docs for the loops here:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/

In the default theme, the loop for members is controlled by /bpmember/directories/members/members-loop.php in the function:

bp_has_site_members( ‘type=active&per_page=10’ )

Changing type=active to type=alphabetical should get you there.

Questions without all the needed information such as bp, wpmu version numbers, a link to your site, get ignored.

My car won’t start. Why won’t my car start? Lack of information leads people, who are willing to help, to move on to somebody who is providing enough information to actually help them.

These are some pointers to help get you started.

go in BuddyPress -> Component Setup -> bbpress forum and check “disable”.
