Hi,

you read the wrong article.
You say that you installed bbPress 2.5.10 plugin today. So reading about forum migration is useless ! 😉

Better try to follow what’s explained here.

function plugin_registers_post_type() {
	$args = array(
		'public'   => true,
		'labels'   => array(
			'name'                     => __( 'Artikel', 'your-plugin-textdomain' ),
			'singular_name'            => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Neuer Artikel veröffentlicht', 'sozialdynamik' ),
			'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Artikel', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>', 'sozialdynamik' ),
 			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s hat den neuen <a href="%2$s">Artikel</a>, on the site %3$s', 'sozialdynamik' ),
		),
		'supports'    => array( 'title', 'editor', 'buddypress-activity' ),
		'bp_activity' => array(
			'component_id' => 'activity',
			'action_id'    => 'new_sd_article',
			'contexts'     => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
			'position'     => 100,
		),
	);
	register_post_type( 'sd_article', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'plugin_registers_post_type' );

Hi,

Is there a premade plugin to achieve that instead of coding as We are not a coder?

Usually, where do people put group description and their activities in Buddypress?

Thanks

WP SEO plugins won’t work on those kind of BuddyPress “page”, because they actually are not real “pages”, so everything gets confused.

I’ve not seen a BuddyPress-specific SEO plugin – I suspect some people don’t realise they aren’t handled by most SEO plugins – or have been built with custom code.

– If you want to exclude user group forums from the directory, you alter the group loop.
– If you want to modify the way forum (whatever the type) works internally, you alter the bbpress code.

Forums are handled by bbPress, BuddyPress only show them up and add user management.

When you set up group forums, you create a new forum in bbPress and give it a type of “category”. Which is not the case when you create a site wide forum and use “forum” as type. This is the only difference for bbPress.

Hi @venutius,

i guess you can use at least 2 options:

Group Meta Queries: Usage Example

or build a custom group directory and use something like this hack.

Codex reference: groups-loop

If you’re an experimented developer,

Create a Real-Time Video Chat Room with WebRTC & Twilio

else

Both are premium.

Hi,

here a CSS trick which let you wrap the whole fields into 1 column:

Or
could be made with this premium plugin: https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-ajax-registration/

Or
manually by coding your own reg template

Ah! Now I got it what you’re trying to achieve..

Well, that is very much doable but then this is no easy task..

If you want to include images and other styling options, you can replace the plain text form with tinymce rich text editor by putting some codes in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php. But remember, simply enabling rich editor will not work unless you allow the img & other relevant tags, else it will strip off and data will not be saved..

You can manage the wp media library to view able to only the person who uploaded the media.. This way it will not mixed up with many other users with their files..

And for hiding the content or long description, you can use js to show/hide..

You can also add other template pages if you need other separate pages for description like address, events etc.. Remove the default no-ajax nav items and replace it with your own custom items.. You can also ajax them, if you want them to.. They looks pretty straight but are more complicated that what you just read.. I did the similar kind of work before..

I’m not sure if you’re looking something like this: http://imgur.com/a/k9SbZ

Doesn’t bp groups already creates separate pages for each group? also put description of the page while creating?

While, if you’re trying to achieve something like groups or pages in facebook, that will be a massive task, and for that CMS or buddypress is not a good choice to begin with. It will be better to custom build with php..

There’s not really that much available. in terms of relating blogs to groups there’s really two options, for a single site you can use the combination of relate blog categories for groups, which you have already tried, and use this with bbPress Topics for Post which will allow you to have comments for that post appear within the group forum.

The other option is to use BuddyPress GroupBlog, but that only works in a multisite environment.

There are other plugins such as BP Group Docs, Buddypress group Extras and BuddyPress Group Documents that you may like to look at but none of these really gives you the type of group homepage customisation that is required.

I did try to do a template overload of the group home page but I found that the way the Forum works interferes with this so it is not trivial and beyond my capabilities for the moment. If you can, hire a developer is all I can suggest.

I’ve tested BuddyPress on Twenty Fifteen and Twenty Sixteen recently, both work great. Outside of those 2 themes you’ll have many choices but my best advice would be to set up a testing site and try out before you go live.

Hope this helps.

@renix,

the first solution would be to use a group blog, but it may be a heavy project. So, IMHO, best way would be to create a plugin and using Group Extension API.

You can also check for an eventual existing plugin who fit to or narrow your goal and customize it.

Hi,

color scheme’s are usually defined by the theme. Positioning elements needs some ID’s or class correctly defined and a medium knowledge for HTML & CSS handling.

if you create a child theme, you can change a lot of things related to BuddyPress, including CSS.

Read through the theme guidelines on BP Codex to get a general overview and check also the documentation of your theme.

Unfortunately, you use a premium theme and, as we have no access to his code, we can’t assist you more for it. Any questions related to it should be asked on your theme support.

But don’t hesitate to search the BuddyPress forum using keywords like css, template and so on…
