BuddyPress.org

Since 2.0 you can use bp_parse_args to filter templates

This topic is outdated and accordingly to what mercime mentionned in the first post, it is also the reason why this tread is now closed.

this code is outdated and ineffecitve as of buddypress 2.0.2.

Create a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\entry.php

Then change
bp_activity_action();
to

$args = array( 'no_timestamp' => true )
bp_activity_action( $args );

@joedostie buddypress can achieve that as @ubernaut has said.

(1) When your users register, they will have their own profile page to put their details by default. You’ll need to create extra fields for bio/phone/etc as many as you want through the admin User->User Profile Field.
(2) For the animals profile, Wp static page or Category could be use to achieve that.
(3) For each user to blog independently, you can use these 2 plugins together: http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddyblog/ and http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-simple-front-end-post/

@mockiboo,

sorry for you that you encountered an issue when you activated BuddyPress.
But why did you test a plugin on a production site ?

You are also using a very specific Premium theme, and if your site was “ruined in one step”, maybe you forgot to read the theme documentation before adding a new plugin.

I suggest to contact the premium theme author as we have no access to that theme or, hire a developer to ID the issue and/or make the theme compatible with BP and some other scripts runing on your site.

i think you could definitely use buddypress to achieve your goals i think some of the stuff would probably benefit from some custom coding but think even out of the box you should be covered in terms of basic functionality.

Sorry, i don’t understand what you want to do.

how can I add an extra site on my wordpress blog only with the post-form of buddypress ?

I (and many others here) probably could answer to this:
– how can I add an extra site on my wordpress blog

But not to this:
– only with the post-form of buddypress.

What do you mean by buddypress post-form ? Where is this post form ?
What is the relation between the mentionned php lesson and BP ? I know what is a form, but do YOU know where the form content may go once the form action was applied ? And if a user inject crap, what will happen to your site ?

PHP technique and BuddyPress are 2 separates things, even if the one use the other (and inversely), but at this stage, you don’t need php technique, but to explain clearer or, simplier, to give a living example used elswhere.

This is not enough:
I’m trying so make a share Button for my BP Community like Facebook, Twitter an G+ have one.
Still exist as plugin (…and a wide selection !)

But the following is absolutely incomprehensible to me: For this I need an extra Site And what you explained here also. Sorry.

Grabing external content to add into a blog post is full part of WordPress.
Tools > PressThis. Apparently not what you want to use…

But if i follow you, members from YOUR site have a share button (where is this button anyway ?)
and when they are on another site, they can share interesting content on YOUR site.

This is how internet is working (at least)….

To do this, most people copy the url and paste it into a post.
Or use a browser tool and add the link to their favorites,
or use a share button who works only inside the community they belong. (FB, Twitter, BuddyPress, und so weiter…)

Two hypotheses:
you’re ignoring that you’re able to build the absolute revolutionnary BuddyPress sharing plugin (and it’s not for tomorrow if you’re in the beginner’s stage) – prefer to learn WordPress internal behaviour and use existing functions instead.

or you try to reinvent the wheel (oder noch besser gesagt, ein überkompliziertes werkzeug). Sorry again. 😉

Before starting custom work, perhaps give a try to buddypress links plugin.

@elliscooper29,

here some explanation about the name field

For theme customization, read first the codex.
Create a child theme, and add a copy of bp-legacy/buddypress/members/register.php to the child,
/your_cild_theme/buddypress/members/register.php.

Then you can give your beautiful registration page a chance to live ! 😉

If other questions around this, give your theme name.

Is it a recommended idea?

If you mastered the situation and know what you do, almost any idea is “recommanded”. 😉

You can do this by using a multisite install.

BP installed on the main site with his own theme (your-site.com) and another blog on sub-domain (mysub-domain/your-site.com) with another theme.

This is the most easiest install option. But you can also install BP on a secondary blog.

Registering is made on the main site, as it would be the hart of your network, and by consequence, the unique place where user can register.

@jessicana,

if you allow group creation to your members, they can do so by going to group directory.
The “create group” button is in the group header.

Once created, the member see on his profile, a tab named My Groups (or Groups) with a counter. On the tab, the group list created by him.

-> When users are logged out, they have no access to the Toolbar or to the Create Group button on the group directory.

This is so by default. Any other behaviour can be considered as theme related (for ex. if you use a theme specifically designed for BuddyPress). IMHO rare, but can eventually exist.

You can hide the Toolbar to logged out user in the buddypress settings.

About BP/WP jargon:
the Toolbar is the wordpress black toolbar at the top of the site.
the User menu is the menu at the top right corner, under wp’s Howdy
the buddymenu is the bar under the page header and before the page content. Depending the context (page, status), this menu bar has an associated sub menu.

@jessicana,

The field NAME in the field group BASE is required. This group is used for the registration page to work. As you already know, it’s also this group who allows you to show custom fields on the registration page.
The NAME field in BuddyPress is intended to receive first and last name and replace the two original fields (first name, last name) coming with WordPress.

That said, you can hide this field to users, but you can’t give them the choice to show/hide it.

The above snippet will hide the field NAME to all visitors/members, but not to site admin and the concerned profile.

function bpfr_make_name_members_only( $retval ) {	
	//hold all of our info
	global $bp;
	
	// is xprofile component active ?	
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
	
    // The user ID of the currently logged in user
    $current_user_id = (int) trim($bp->loggedin_user->id);
	
    // The author that we are currently viewing
    $author_id  = (int) trim($bp->displayed_user->id);
	
	// user can see only his name && admin can see everyone 
	if ($current_user_id !== $author_id && !current_user_can('delete_others_pages') ) {
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';	
	}
	return $retval;	
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_make_name_members_only' );

Add this to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

It’s best if you open a ticket for this on Trac:

@gema75 thank you for this information, but nothing is mentionned about buddypress integration ?
You also omit to say that it’s a premium plugin for the price of $22 !

And, please, don’t jump into old post, mainly for advertising only.
