BuddyPress.org

No OS/platform wars please.

Which browsers you were using would have been far more interesting that what platform you were using. I have not confirmed this myself but if you can recreate this – perhaps testing on http://testbp.org/ – please submit it as a bug on https://trac.buddypress.org/. You can use the same username and password that you do here.

Yes.

You need to copy the relevant stuff from within BuddyPress’ theme’s functions.php into the functions.php of the active theme (unless your new theme is a child theme of BuddyPress).

How would I then create a new menu tab for the new page?

Like all open source projects, BuddyPress is a community effort. Anyone can add to the documentation–the Codex–by visiting this BP link and creating a new Codex article, or adding to and/or editing an existing one.

Your help in documenting BuddyPress will be appreciated!

This plug-in / feature is probably the most sought after. Maybe at some point Andy will take the time to integrate chat into a future release of BP down the road.

You can’t really have a social network w/o chat these days. MySpace, FaceBook, OkCupid, all have it.

I’ve decided on a killer app for my new site. A Google Events Calendar for BP groups. Essentially, I want to have the group admin create a Google Calendar that sits on the group “home page.” The admin can create/edit events and invite attendees.

This can be done now through Google Calendar and embedded in any site. http://www.google.com/calendar/embedhelper (it’s broken at the moment, but it works).

What I’m looking for is a plugin that uses the Google Calendar API to use group member email to invite group members via Buddypress and accept and track their RSVPs via Buddypress.

Users get all the benefits/upgrades to Google Calendar and we don’t have to reinvent the wheel (No offense to the BP calendar being created)

The Google Calendar projects on .org seem a bit dead, but I’m hoping someone here sees the benefit in the BP context. I’ll of course do it myself eventually, but I’m still working on the basics of the site at the moment and I’m NOT a programmer (just a problem solver who wants to get something done)

I’d at least like to know if someone else is taking this on so we can either colloborate or at least not duplicate work.

You should post these on trac.buddypress.org as it’s hard for Andy to follow everything posted here. You can login with the same ID. There seems more bugs than current reported, so I’m adding additional bugs to make sure 1.1 release works fine.

is it still happening? can you email me the wp-config and bb-config files but take out your db login info?

I’m closing this thread as it deals with the exact same issue you posted several hours earlier. You can read my response in that thread.

How will your members gain access to their profile data–for editing–or their friends, groups, and messages, etcetera, if you remove the userbar?

I do not recommend this, unless you are planning to provide an alternate way for your members to access this data.

But, what you need to do to remove the “Me” column in the default BuddyPress member theme, is modify the userbar.php in your template file. To remove the “My Profile” column, you basically have to remove the xprofile navigation menu item that xprofile_setup_nav() invokes. The best way to do that is by creating a function in your bp-custom.php file that then invokes a remove_action() for the appropriate do_actions of that function.

Of course, if you remove the “Me” column it will automatically solve your issue of having the “My Profile” column being displayed. You will then have to come up with your own solution to just show the profile data for that given member. It can be done, but what you are asking removes so much access to BuddyPress functionality that I suggest you reconsider.
