BuddyPress.org

Well I’ll be… I think tiny url’s are fine, and probably for the best really…

You know, to Andy’s credit, it’s really kind of fun to find little bits of creative genius in BuddyPress… Stuff like this, and the Groups Template idea, and just little prethoughts of the future, they’re just really cool…

No sweat. I ask because lets say I make a “Signature” field, it’s a textarea, and it’s going to be used for their forum signature.

If their signature is "<a href="bob" style='color: red;'>Bob</a>, is amazing!" is BuddyPress going to parse the crap out of it, and is this going to understand that?

if (the group is XBOX) add_action(‘wp_print_styles’, ‘your style hook’)

i made a good set of functions in bpdev theme to add stylesheet with condition, look here:

http://trac.bp-dev.org/plugins/browser/trunk/bpdev-theme/bpdev-theme-extra.php

look line 9:

function bpdev_theme_register_style( $slug, $name, $callback, $default = 'off', $admin_show = 'on', $condition = true, $priority = 1 ) {

it means that with this function you will be able to add styles in wordpress/buddypress integrating them in the bpdev admin interface to activate or deactivate them,

in your example you need a plugin like that called for example my-styles-bpdev.php

<?php

/*

Author: Nicola Greco

Author URI: http://nicolagreco.com

*/



require_once( 'bp-core.php' );

require_once( 'bpdev-core.php' );



function bpdev_search_css() {



global $group_obj;



bpdev_theme_register_style(

'my-styles', // your style slug name

'XBOX Styles', // your style name

'xbox_styles_function', // callback

'on', // status "on" on default

'off', // off will not display it in admin interface

$group_obj->id = 1; // the group ID

);



}



function xbox_styles_function() { // example of css content

?>

#header {

background: #FFF;

}

<?php

}



add_action( 'bpdev_theme_extra_setup_globals', 'bpdev_search_css' ); // it will add the style



?>

How I can add buddypress tag? Where on readme file

You should use the .htaccess.dist file that comes with BuddyPress if BuddyPress does not create or cannot edit the existing one that’s there.

What you have above will not be enough for all of BuddyPress/WPMU to function correctly.

It has additional lines for handling multiple upload directories, blogs, etc…

You will have to have a separate theme for your subdomain, and hard-code the links to go back to your root domain.

The way I did this, was to have a “buddypress-home” theme, and a “buddypress-sub” theme. The sub theme is basically a copy of all of the files from the “buddypress-home” theme, but without home.php, an edited style.css to change the name of the style, and a modified header.php which I will explain below.

The home theme is activated only for the root blog, the sub theme for all others.

In the header.php file for the sub blogs, I used $bp->root_domain as the destination for each link, plus whatever slug was appropriate (MEMBERS_SLUG, BP_GROUPS_SLUG, BP_BLOGS_SLUG).

I also went ahead and made the BP_BLOGS_SLOG link class="selected" right away, that way when you’re in a sub blog, the appropriate tab is always shown as selected.

Burt have you tested this with each specific type of field in the xprofile area? With quotes and what not?

I’m going to make a clean install of BuddyPress on my test domain and see if I can duplicate this. I’d really like to know what I did that’s breaking it.

same problem, yes WPMU works fine without BuddyPress installed!!!

That would be nice. It could include members activity, forum activity, wire activity. Ya, nice idea. Why don’t you post it in trac as an enhancement ticket?

https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

Login with the same credentials as here.

Not at the moment. It’s in the works though. See: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1304

Hi burtadsit, I read it all (exclamationmark ) English is not my “tongue”, but I hope I got the main idea. It sounds AWESOME!!!

Just to check, if I got that right: (I think I would need exactly something like that, because I am running a community for young-leaders who can submit and search for relevant resources in youth-work. )

With that project I have tagged almost everything on my whole mu-site. Posts (sure…), but also bp-events, forum-stuff, wire-stuff, groups, etc…

I can collect those tags for groups etc, but also show them in a kind of sitewide (forum, buddypress,”normal”wpmu) tagcloud? THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!! So everybody finds exactly what they are searching for… (better than eny search engine…).

Right? (if not, that would be a suggestion for a feature or something

Thanks for your work!

Michael

It’s a known bug, I think. Here’s a workaround: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/519

Not a perfect solution, but one that works . . .

anointed:

I think there are many that has the same consensus as you.

MattKern:

Depends on many things; the amount of blogs, server performance and traffic. That is probably hard to say.

WPMU

To translate the WPMU, which I think you want to do, do this:

1. Download the POT file for regular WordPress, current version. WPMU have a lot of strings that are the same. You save a lot of work.

2. Download PoEdit, http://www.poedit.net , install it

3. Download current WPMU

4. Open the POT file for the regular WP

5. Change the path in PoEdit to the path where you have your sorce files to WPMU

6. Run “Update from source” in the PoEdit. That will create you a POT file for WPMU, but will also keep a lot of phrases translated, so you save work.

BuddyPress

Same software can be used to extract and create POT file.

I had that but it was because I loaded buddypress as a subfolder

“Move contents of the extracted folder into “wp-content/mu-plugins”. All files should be in the root of “mu-plugins” not in a sub folder. For example, “mu-plugins/bp-core.php” NOT “mu-plugins/buddypress/bp-core.php””

Once I did that it was fine

Javi95,

If I understand your trouble correctly, the solution to this is really simple, I know because I had this trouble at first too. If you have uploaded the entire buddypress folder to the mu-plugins folder, take everything out of it and put it directly into the mu-plugins folder. You want the actual plugin folders to be in the mu-plugins folder, not in another folder in that folder. Sorry if that sounds confusing, hope it helps.

I think I’ve found the solution:

open the admin-bar.css in the bp-core/css folder

Lines 68-72

#wp-admin-bar ul li { /* all list items */

padding: 0 !important;

float: left !important;

background: url( ../images/admin-menu-arrow.gif ) 88% 53% no-repeat;

position: relative;

You just need to delete “position: relative;”.

That has solved the problem with FF3 – drop down menu disappearing.

But still having problem with IE7 menu flickering, even after https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/530 fix

It’s okay to do anything you want with the theme files, just as you would do in WordPress.

You don’t need the loader.php stuff if you don’t want to, however, it does add some extra functionality, such as cross theme CSS and the ability to selectively load styles.

You should also read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/

Just for reference, what size community do you need before you have to start using multiple db’s?

I think that if multi-db was under gpl, i may to be interested to develop on it

Credit for the above code too burtadsit by the way
