BuddyPress.org

@r-a-y and @djpaul Thank you. Scaling down the login widget avatar to 40px from 60px allowed for more space for long usernames or real names when user is logged in, instead of being wrapped around two lines. Aesthetically, it also made the avatar size uniform with all the other avatars in the other BP widgets.

If you want the large size, it’s a simple fix like so:
.widget.buddypress .bp-login-widget-user-avatar {
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
}

edit – forgot to add height before 😉

@deshmukh

In Appearance > Menus make sure Buddypress is ticked in screen options. That takes care of user links.

To link to a specific group, I would just create a custom link as you would do for any other link type.

There are BuddyPress menu items in the admin menu page

Thanks for testing, @chubbycrow.

Going to ping @mercime for input here as she recently made changes to the avatars in widgets.

mercime – Okay to revert line 1558 from changeset 9341?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9341

Or was there a reason for the 40px declaration?

Hi @caldwellysr,

Thanks for testing the 2.2-beta.

There was a bug concerning xProfile fields, which should be addressed in:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9345

If you feel comfortable removing the lines referenced in bp-core/bp-core-template.php, please do so and retest.

Thanks again for testing!

If you can you read this, you know now that you received an answer. 😉

Register and Activation Pages

hi @vuko,

be patient for BP 2.2 in a few days. Then you could try the new Members API and a user role plugin (ie. s2members) to achieve that.

Member Types

@adamsalam

That’s a theme issue, you’re best taking that up with your theme developer. Or if you’re using a free theme, you could request custom development work here – https://buddypress.org/support/forum/plugin-forums/bp-jobs-board/

I actually would have missed since this thread has become old! But thanks for responding at last.

1) Can I “Like” from a blog post and it will show in the activity stream? And vice versa?
2) Can an user see a collection of another users’ Likes? In the demo I saw this missing
3) How does the theme behaves in WP Multisite set up and/or with a standard 3rd party plugin eg buddypress-activity-privacy.1.3.3?
4) Media solution by buddyboss is separately priced but seems incomplete:
– Cannot mark directly on photo, see photo tagging in FB or other php scripts
– Cannot do multiple ( but max number settable by site admin) photo upload simultaneously
– Media files not integrated in WP media etc
5) How does the interface look like when one submits a blog – is he thrown out of the theme?
6) Less important – Wall comes as a separate premium plugin but does not let you post blog/event/location – nothing except photo. It has also only river display – some premium themes similarly priced offers both river and card display. No profile cover photo also ?

True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.

I will request you to make a custom solution for yourself to prevent spam signups. This will be more creditable stuff encouraging us to go for custom solutions to Buddyboss. Thanks again.

@adamsalam

Please give the community here time to respond, don’t forget people are in different time zones.

By default the links you’re referring to are part of the WP Toolbar which is fixed at the top of your site. When a user is logged-in this bar will also include the user account menu in the top right. If you’re not seeing this, check ‘Show the Toolbar for logged out users’ in Settings > Buddypress > Settings in the admin dashboard.

Also make sure ‘Anyone can register’ is ticked in Settings > General.

If both options are enabled and you don’t see the Toolbar as a visitor, it may be your theme or a plugin is disabling it. Either way you can add Register, Lost Password, and Login to any menu of your choosing. Open Appearance > Menus > expand Screen Options and tick Buddypress. You can then add those links to any menu you wish, along with the other Buddypress menu options.

Paul.

Hey guys, this is Michael from BuddyBoss.

@style960 Thanks for the kind words 🙂

@ronia

Can you please share a link?

The next theme will be available later this month, so check back at buddyboss.com every so often and you’ll see it advertised there. It is an entirely new concept.

If you really want to play with it now, send an email to support at buddyboss dot com asking to be a beta tester, and I’ll let you in.

@disha76

do you know how to contact the Buddyboss people for pre-sales queries?

Here I am, ask away 🙂

They seem to have no open forum

True, we used to have an open forum, but we had too many spam signups and closed it to customers only.

I submitted some queries via their contact form – and got no reply from them – its 4 days.

Sorry to hear. We are usually faster, but may have been slower due to the holiday season. What email did you send from? (you can PM me this if you prefer)

I visited the Buddyboss demo but it does not show how standard Blog post…

Here is a sample blog post:
http://www.buddyboss.com/demo/buddyboss/an-argument-for-simplicity/

Front-end posting…

We are going to build a plugin for front-end blog posting. In general we prefer to put big features in plugins rather than themes, so they can work with any theme. Then we style that functionality in our themes so it looks really nice.

Do the Buddyboss people frequent this forum ? If they do and answered such queries it would be a good sign indeed.

I check out buddypress.org forums pretty frequently and answer questions 🙂

@djsteveb

I found that most buddypress responsive themes are based on bootstrap – and since rtmedia loads a lot of bootstrap, and font awesome stuff, things would break when I put them together..

Agreed, bootstrap bloats stuff and causes problems. BuddyBoss themes (current and future) are just CSS and media queries. We’re not using bootstrap.

This is a BuddyPress forum.
Go here for the bbPress forum.

See this : https://buddypress.org/support/topic/registration-not-working-7/

Hope this will help.

Thanks
Suraj.

Worked it out.
For anyone wishing to know, the top menu and bottom menu are id’d as
.item-list-tabs#object-navfor top menu and .item-list-tabs #subnav for sub nav menu.

To hide only the top menu and keep subnav, I pasted into buddpress.css
(/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css)

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs#object-nav ul li {
		display: none;
}
 

around line 1266.

Hope that helps someone some time 🙂

Update:
I’m adding this: display: none; to the code:

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li {
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	list-style: none;

At line 1256 on buddypress.css, it works, but hides the subnav too.
How can i amend the code (full code below) to hide only topnav?

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li {
	float: left;
	margin: 0;
	list-style: none;
        display: none;

Many thanks in advance for any help people 🙂

Hi there, I’m sorry to jump in on your post, I would like to know how to do this too – kind of.
OP,I think this may be of some help to you.

Admin, it may just be me being slow today, but I can’t see how to start a new thread or help request from my dash, could you pop a link here for me? Sorry about that! 🙁

Anyone, I would like to know how to hide (not remove) only the top nav menu, with ‘profile, activity, messages, friends’ etc. I have this menu elsewhere. I want to remove it from all other places. But I need to keep the subnav links visible.

I know how to -remove- an item nav/subnav – but want to -hide- top links without removing the actual function of the url in order that I can still link to it from my own menu.

I can edit the css in buddypress.css, I’ve tried a few things but nothing works so far, like.

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs {display:none};

I’ve also tried finding the link to the menu in the home or message-header.php in buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single to amend it there.

If anyone could help I’d be so grateful, and sorry OP for riding your post, hope the link helped you. Admin if you could post me a link to start a new thread that would be great 🙂 Thank you

Hi @chrsjensen

Try using the Twenty Fifteen theme and deactivate all of your plugins (aside from BuddyPress) to see if the problem goes away

BuddyPress Live Notification

In admin BuddyPress settings click the settings tab and scroll to bottom and uncheck activity refresh setting
