How did you create that page: http://delsolownersclub.com/discussions

That’s exactly what I want to do on my site.

I’ve got @Burtadsit’s bbGroup plugin up and running.

How did you integrate it into your buddypress theme?

Is it a ‘page’ in the root blog or a special page?

Thx, Gordon

I created a function that lives in the BP_Activity_Activity class that gets recent group activity. I uploaded it as a patch in trac https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/668

get_sitewide_activity() returns all sorts of activity not related to that group. The new function that I uploaded gets just the activity for the specified group. If you apply that patch to the bp-activity-classes.php file and build some template php around it then you’ll get your activity display.

$activity = BP_Activity_Activity::get_activity_for_group( $site_groups_template->group, 2 );

That call above would work in the group directory template file. You’ll have to build something to display the returned $activity items like the site wide activity widget does.

See bp-activity-widgets.php for a guide. This little template tag below displays some raw unformated activity.

function my_the_site_group_activity($limit = 2){

global $site_groups_template;

$activity = BP_Activity_Activity::get_activity_for_group( $site_groups_template->group, $limit );

foreach ((array)$activity as $item){

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_content’, bp_activity_content_filter( $item[‘content’], $item[‘date_recorded’], ”, true, false, true ) );

}

}

You can put that fn in your bp-custom.php file and try it out. I just stuck it in a div under the description tag in groups-loop.php for testing.

1) deactivate the plugins

2) removing them

3) remove themes

OPTIONAL:

4) Remove wp_bp_* tables

Say hello to BuddyPress

report it in the trac

Peter-

I realize that you are not getting the answers you desire. You must have a sufficient understanding of and comfort level with PHP before you can delve too deeply into hacking your own solutions or coding your own theme templates. Otherwise, you need to use the stock WPMU and BuddyPress install and then customize with any plugins and 3rd-party themes that may be useful.

Since we do not have any idea of your particular coding skills, we are trying to point you in the right direction. Please realize that beyond a certain point, we cannot help you write your own custom code.

We all started at the beginning when it came to coding and then had another learning curve when it came to understanding the inner workings of WordPress and BuddyPress. It can be frustrating along the way but it is indeed possible to accomplish!

Here are a few more tips:

1. Since you do seem to be wanting to group all user data within stock WP tables, you should search the WP and WPMU forums and ask your questions there
2. Visit these WP Codex pages to help shed more light:

• https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpdb_Class
• https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference

3. Google for tips on learning data-driven PHP coding
4. Hire a 3rd-party developer who can do the work: hacking files directly or create a plugin that will accomplish what you’re after

Please hang in there and don’t give up hope.

…and everything seems to work:

A /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends.php

etc… etc… etc…

…Checked out revision 1324.

But when I check the plugins folder, Buddypress isn’t there. (I’m using Coda, by the way)

First time using subversion, so I don’t really know what I’m doing.

I don’t know why this keeps cutting my post in half, I’ll give it one more try:

I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:

svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

Whoops, it cut me off… I meant to say:

I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:

`svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

I’m also having trouble with the svn, I do this:

svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/ /home/jbailey/www/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/

Thanks for the css. I haven’t tried it yet. Got sidetracked. Does any of that fix the overflow of text problem? If so then post the fix in trac as a patch or comment here: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/665

The problem with the sitewide activity is that you can get all the activities you want but it’s not really formatted for easy detection of specific group activities. The only indication that it’s from a specific group is the bp_activity_sitewide table fields ‘primary_link’ and ‘component_name’.

The component_name will be ‘groups’ and the primary_link will be something like this: http://ourcommoninterest.dev/groups/public

Take a look at bp-activity-classes.php get_sitewide_activity()

You can’t just make a call to a canned function with some parameters and get stuff for a specific group.

Yes i tried burtadsits code in my bp-custom.php but no joy.. just get a few php errors in my header..

Is there anything else that could do this.. im sure i ahve come accros a plugin from nicola??

i also tried Mspecht one in <?php ?> but it didnt work either??

There’s a member access plugin here, but it has no settings for the members and groups sections in Buddypress.

This plugin only works for “pages”.

Is there a way to extend one of these plugins?

Has this been resolved? Is there now a working plugin based on the code above?

In my site the members and groups sections should definitely be members-only. This is essential stuff that should be a default part of the Buddypress package imho. What’s the point of signing up for a network if everybody has access anyway?

I assume you’re specifically talking about customizing a BuddyPress template. If so, then you need to look in the BuddyPress profiles tables in MySQL.

For instance, the field definition for the “Full Name” field is stored in the wp_bp_xprofile_fields table and any corresponding datum is stored in the wp_bp_xprofile_data table.

With respect to this:

At the moment Buddypress/WP MU makes it very hard, perhaps impossible, to flexibly use member’s real names or other data (companyname, city) in the site or have something like ‘Hello John’ in email notifications.

That is not true. Any piece of stored data can be accessed and spit out in any number of ways. It just must first be in the database. Look in the bp-xprofile.php file and the bp-xprofile subdirectory for a number of functions that can be called to extract a user’s data.

By the way, I did see your other post about this topic and it was answered appropriately. With the default WPMU and BuddyPress setup, you will not be able to use a user’s full name until they’ve entered that data. They will not be able to enter their full name until after they register.

So, unless you hack the wp-signup.php or register.php files, and require that a full name be provided when registering, you will not be able to send them a welcome email with their full name since that piece of data does not yet exist.

All of what you are asking is possible but requires either a pre-existing plugin, a custom hack, or your ability in customizing and coding a BuddyPress template.

I assume you’re using the Recent Comments widget. That is a WPMU widget and not specifically a BuddyPress Widget.

You have three options:

• Search the WordPress plugin repository to see if someone has created a plugin to do just that
• Search the forums on the WPMU site for an answer. If you don’t find one, then post a question.
• Hack WPMU’s widgets.php file yourself to provide the necessary functionality
