BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I have a similar issue, however not buddypress upgrade related. I can get to the backend only by using a direct page e.g. /wp-admin/themes.php . Maybe that works for you too? Unfortunately I have still not figured out what the problem is, but like this it works for me.

Can registered users upload media (photos, video, music)?

Yes, there are plugins for that, like
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

Can I modify the themes to allow for streams to be viewed similar to Pinterest or Tumblr? (I am familiar with PHP, CSS etc).

You can do anything you like – it’s open source 🙂

Is there a maximum number of registered user allowed? 1000? 10,000? What determines this?

It is determined by your server(s) resources and setup.

Also can the administrator send out email to all registered users?

There are several free WP plugins for that. You don’t need one specific to BP.

A fix for this has been included in BuddyPress 2.0, which is due for release today.

r_a_y, could you please explain in few words, what changes were done to activity add?

I mean this patch https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3856 and the words “..(short version – plugins that insert activity items will continue to work as before, but should be good citizens and update to the new technique)…”.

As I see, bp_activity_add wasn’t changed, so what update Boone is talking about? thanks!

Hi All

Thank you for sharing. When I wanna try to install “BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation”, I saw this note on top of the page

“This plugin hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.”

Hopefully this plugin still useful.

Other than Buddy Press, not sure if anyone of you try any other plugin that come with Group Control function?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

I usually test on the Twenty Twelve theme as it’s nice and clean. You can basically use any decent WordPress theme for the most part.

If BuddyPress doesn’t work with a certain theme, let us know.

Hey all. I am new to BuddyPress and am working on building an LMS to accompany in-person classes. I am hitting a bit of a wall though on trying to create the following scenario.

• I am trying to figure out how I can create different roles that can create certain number of groups.
• For instance, user role “package 1” can create up to 5 groups; user role “package 2” can create up to 10 groups, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can go about doing this?

I tried doing a combination of Members with Restrict Group Creation but I need to restrict group creation based on roles, not capabilities.

I am willing to pay for a custom plugin as well if that’s the direction I need to go in. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

Thanks.

Private BuddyPress by Dennis Morhardt works an absolute treat for me.

Maybe you can refer this

Groups Loop

Thanks for testing, sharmavishal.

I’ve created a ticket here with a potential fix for the first two things:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5537

I can’t duplicate the third issue.

This is claimed as fixed, though I am using the most updated version of buddypress and still having the same problem. Do I have to pull from the trunk to get the truly most updated version or do y’all push it to the wordpress plugin repo?

Thanks for the tip, tajenli.

Here’s more on how BP’s template hierarchy works. This is what you’re tapping into. https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

This might also help

in

bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

remove

<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) : ?>

	<div id="latest-update">

		<?php bp_activity_latest_update( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>

	</div>

<?php endif; ?>

It looks like the $group_id is not passed along to the display() method in the same way as it is to the other display methods. That means you’ll need to implement your own technique to get that value. Try this:

function display() {
    $group_id = bp_get_current_group_id();
    $setting = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, 'whatever' );
    var_dump( $setting );
}

I do think that you *ought* to be able to get the $group_id inside of display() like you can in settings_screen() etc. I’ve opened a ticket for that, which we’ll fix for 2.1. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5533#ticket
