BuddyPress.org

Please follow the install guide provided on the Codex.
FYI, bp-config.php doesn’t exist.

Hi @barodscheff

You can just copy the code from here and paste it in to your page template (say page-poodles.php). You can then go about filtering the returned members as you see fit.

Hi @pieter

Try this

function filter_private_message_email_body( $email_content, $sender_name, $subject, $content, $message_link, $settings_link, $ud ) {

    $content = substr( $content , 0, 140 );

    $email_content = sprintf( __(
'%1$s sent you a new message:
Subject: %2$s
"%3$s"
To view and read your messages please log in and visit: %4$s
---------------------
', 'buddypress' ), $sender_name, $subject, $content, $message_link );

    return $email_content;
}
add_filter( 'messages_notification_new_message_message', 'filter_private_message_email_body', 10, 7 );

This will make the message 140 characters. Feel free to change the 140 to another number.

@iiseptum
Maybe this will help. I think the only thing that is changed though is now you would make the edit on lines 36 and 56 and you would probably want to copy that js file into your themes buddypress folder. I am a bit rusty though so I may be wrong.

@numumar
I hope this doesn’t sound dumb for asking but have you installed WordPress? Reason being is BuddyPress and bbPress are WordPress plugins so having WordPress installed is a prerequisite to using BuddyPress and bbPress. Again sorry if its a dumb question.

FYI, Boone posted about phpunit test today !

There is not a profile.php file in …BuddyPress/Members/Single/Settings as I expected.

Look here: bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\settings\profile.php

hi @rosyteddy,
guess the mytery sit here: http://localhost/wordpress/userA/

Multisite (subdomain or subdirectory) need that wordpress stays at the site root. At least for a default install.

SSite: hxxp://my_site.com
MS: hxxp//my_site.com

MS subdomain: hxxp//wouah.my_site.com
MS subdirectory: hxxp//my_site.com/wouah/

A local install (wamp, mamp or xamp) is mostly in a ‘www’ folder at your hard disk root C://
(recommended path) Refer to your software documentation for more details about installing Wamp/Mamp/Xamp – at least about localhost in URL. In the latest version (wamp 2.5), this is no more used. In my case, the local URL is http://my_site/wp-admin/….

C://www represent the private part of the site path. The equivalent of /var/your_account/htdocs/ on a production server.

The same path scenario goes localy
C://www/my_site (avoid confusion and don’t use WordPress as site name)
My_site folder contains all WP directories and files:

My_site/wp-admin
My_site/wp-content
My-site/wp-include
My_site/wp-config.php and so on…

At the end of the install, you got a htaccess file containing:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

The important things here are rewrite engine on and rewrite base /, where the slash means “start to manage site URL’s form this point”, which is /…/…/var/your_account/htdocs/<- from here !!!

Before installing BuddyPress, activate pretty permalinks to what you want, EXCEPT default. Save. I do this before, because WP likes also pretty permalinks, and so i don’t forget to do it after i finished with a BP install.

Install BP and setup (or at least control if they exist) the choosen component page(s).

If you do this, you won’t have 404 or other issues, no matter if you use MS or subdirectories or subdomain. WP alone will work, and BP too.

The most important advice if you want to work localy, is to setup correctly apache (mod_rewrite is not activated for ex.). And if you use it with windows, to double-check anything, including HOST file where you have to declare manually each of your local sites (since wamp 2.4 – don’t remember exactly)

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

127.0.0.1       my_site
::1             my_site

127.0.0.1       my_other_site
::1             my_other_site

Hi @svenl77,

It’s the case, just tested it and the function does what it intends to do : remove the group-avatar && the delete-group manage tabs.

I don’t manage to reproduce your issue. If i go to groups/GROUP-SLUG/adminthen i’m automatically redirected to groups/GROUP-SLUG/admin/edit-details so no 404.

My config is :
fresh install
WordPress latest trunk
BuddyPress latest trunk
twentytwelve

I don’t think we’ve played in this area since 2.2.1

FYI : if i add the edit-details to the list of restricted tabs, then the group admin cannot access to any manage page without knowing the url of the allowed tabs. So i’d say the edit-details should always be there.

@svenl77 Thanks for the link. Its nice.

Does it work on Multisite? The form can deposit posts to individual blog? and not one central blog or blog 1? Any demo of that please?

Specific settings I am asking about:
WP 4.1.1, BP 2.2.1 – default installs
define( ‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true );
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, false);
Registration Settings : Both sites and user accounts can be registered.

If it does work with the above settings has it solved this category problem?

Thanks.

Brajesh makes great plugins, I use a few of his, I seem to remember that buddyblog is multisite only, and I had lots of issues making multisite function the way I intended my site to function.

I did have a look and tried Buddyblog, but I found in my case the FEP plugin did what I needed just a bit better/easier, and without multisite.

And I think it should be possible to get the posts to show on the plugin.php buddypress template, on my thngs to do list.

P.H.

good to provide more info such as other plugins WP version theme etc:

@nomad48 see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

@tinabeansy,

first of, required pages for buddypress such as registration cannot use custom template as an usual WP page.

“Create an Account” can be modified by using the language file, even if the site is in english.
Read here

BP comes with a pot file where you find ALL strings used by the plugin AND the file/line where they are used. Very handy for searching “create an account”. 😉

For now:
bp-core/bp-core-filters.php:487 bp-members/bp-members-screens.php:517

Also found scratchhouse.co Is this your site ? BP seems to not be installed.
Have you setup the pretty permalinks ? Could explain why you have trouble with some pages.

And don’t forget: codex is your friend. 😉

hi @tennaki,

did you searched a little before asking ? 😉
This subject was handled many times in the past.

Sorry, i can’t help you for best practice in that domain.
They’re many things BP related on GitHub.
