BuddyPress.org

After much screwing around, i recommend Social Login. it seems to integrate well with BuddyPress…

Try deactivating all other plugins, then activate BuddyPress on its own. See if that solves it. If so, it’s a plugin conflict. Then you can reactivate all other plugins one by one until it breaks again, and then you’ll know which one is the culprit.

If deactivating all other plugins doesn’t solve it, then try switching themes to see if that’s the cause.

Hi,

for autocreatation you can create a small script who do that ( check buddypress default data how create demo groups )
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-default-data/

And buddypress-groupomatic plugin can make the autojoin group for members depending fields.

Hope this can help you !

hi @aemadi,

Click on ” Screen Options ” ( on the top right of menu page ) then check Buddypress :).

I mis-read your question sorry. I found a solution which lets users only view other users profiles if they are a friend of that user. The admin can see all members regardless of them being his/her friend.

I put the function in my functions.php:

 // BuddyPress create conditional if friend
function flatportal_bp_is_friend() {
global $bp;

if (friends_check_friendship( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_displayed_user_id() )  )
return true;

return false;
}

and created a custom header file with this at the top:

// Global $bp variable holds all of our info

global $bp;
// 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);
if ($current_user_id !== $author_id && !current_user_can('delete_others_pages') && !flatportal_bp_is_friend() )
{
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit();
}

Then in header php (using multiple headers)

elseif ( bp_is_user()):
get_header('restrict-profile');

If they are not a friend they will be redirected to the home page or wherever you want them. I suppose you could re-direct them to a “you are not a friend of this user” page if you wanted.

These are probably questions better asked on bbPress forum – remember although bbPress integrates with buddyPress it is a standalone plugin.

I doubt however you need to overload all the files as above.

I would strongly urge you to first have a good read through what articles we currently have in the codex to familiarise yourself with basic setup & operation:

Getting Started

Then if you have further questions post back with a full outline of your setup – check the forum stickies which tell you what information to provide in order to gain help here.

Hi,

I have the same problem. When we click the notifications link, a blank page is showing.

Wordpress version : 3.8
Buddypress : 1.9

Pls help me

Over-ride this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\home.php

And adjust it to make forums the default rather than activity.

Ok, so it’s pretty easy if you’re not familiar to buddypress (as I am) to make bad assumptions here. (as I am, and did)

@thecutter

Your first problem is that in the example, the code is looking for a screen template (plugins.php) in this case that’s not in your template directory. It won’t look for or use any templates in the standard buddypress templates folder (as I assumed) and so you will need to make sure that any templates needed are within the [plugin]templates/[pathtotemplate] path.

I also assumed that any of these pages would automatically assume the standard buddypress layout and page template, using the supplied template as the content for the page – which was a mistake. What gets served is a vanilla page, using the standard wp header and footer tags (well, if you use the screen-one.php as a template).

If you want the buddypress profile header add
<?php locate_template( array( 'buddypress/members/single/member-header.php' ), true ) ?>
to your template. You can do this for all of the items on your standard bp page, have a look through the other templates in bp as a guide.

This is not a bad thing, and you can do this stays completely flexible when combined with the standard wp templating. When overriding bp component templates remember to put the [templatepath] file into your theme templates folder, not the theme templates/buddypress folder.

For example, my ‘Achievements’ summary template (‘achievements/screen-summary’) goes into ‘achievements/screen-summary.php’ in my theme’s template folder.

Hope this helps, I was confused for a while, but it’s all good now 😉

This seems to be a problem with how the skeleton component setup is handling the loading of screens:

bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );

tries to load a template file within the plugin folder – not (as I think it’s meant to) from the standard BP template folder, or the current themes’ buddypress template (if overridden).

@modemlooper, any idea how to get the screen page to display in the standard wordpress/buddypress template system, or why it’s not working?

It’s not something you take and then edit to create a new component.

It certainly reads like something you take and edit to create a new component!

I can’t seem to find the function name or php file in the buddypress directory.

You can find the login widget code in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

But mercime is correct, your best move is to add a widget area to your theme and then use the login widget (assuming you’re on BP 1.9+ which includes a login widget).

have you checked to make sure the pages are associated correctly in the main buddypress preferences?

Same questions as https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-more-link-broken/#post-177342

Have you tried this addon for the plugin?

http://badgeos.org/downloads/community/

I would also try to get support from the developers on the BadgeOS site. You are likely to get better help there than here since it is such a specific use. They do know and support BuddyPress so you may get your answer from them.

Same issue is in this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/redirect-loops-on-groups-and-profiles/

Hey @m1000

I’m not sure using BuddyPress functions will work for bbPress? Could be wrong though!

Make sure you have Registration enabled in Settings > General.

Register and Activation Pages

Hey there, I’m the author of BuddyBoss. This is not the default behavior in the theme. Have you updated to the latest version? 3.0.6 put out a patch for notifications before BuddyPress 1.9 came out, and I have a feeling you’re using a version prior to that as that could cause a blank page without the patch. If you still have issues after updating head over to our support forums and TJ will happily help you out.

Took a look at your site. It looks nice. But I do see that all the BP pages are not outputting any content. It’s all blank. Even the “By” line is empty, where I assume it would show the page author.

When you are in your buddypress.php file is it including another inner template file to display content? If so, have you tried deleting all of that and just putting in <?php the_content();?> in the loop of buddypress.php? I’m wondering if this theme has some fancy default content loop that is filtering out BP stuff.

@mercime thanks for posting the link. Good stuff. My suggestion is based on the assumption that most WP themes do not have these solutions in them as most sites are not using tables. BuddyPress is feeding its content into theoretically any WP theme and most themes are (or will be) responsive and most web traffic is (or will be) mobile. So if BP is feeding in content that is not going to work for a large percent of users it seems like something worth at least considering to change, even if there are some tradeoffs.

Anyways, I’m sorry as I didn’t mean to hijack this thread with these table discussions. We’re a bit off topic now 🙂
