BuddyPress.org

Hi,

Here the codex

bp_activity_add()

You can use bp_activity_add and change type param.

Hi,

Click ‘Screen Options’ on the menu page ( at the top right of the page ) and check Buddypress.

I use the tubepress plugin for video… You can show many thumbnails on your site and play them in a light-box popup… or in their original YouTube page – which solves your user comment issue without having to make new templates

http://tubepress.com/demo/

the Activity Plus plugin allows users to post videos with their comments, just like Facebook, but for BuddyPress….

@modemlooper : A BuddyPress member cannot delete their account. But a WordPress administrator can delete a user from the dashboard.. If you have been following the recent EU moves on the Internet, such as forcing sites to post “We use cookies on this site” dumb messages, it will probably soon be necessary for members to be able to cancel their own accounts, for the sake of privacy…

@gfam105,

If you are looking for an UI that allows only video commenting, then I am afraid you will have to code a plugin that does just that.

But given the plethora of bp plugins that support video, you might just give these plugins a try:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/

Any of these plugins allow your users to upload videos in comments.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @BuddyBoss,

Try and play with this plugin if you really want to import user data to custom CRM applications (it’s a little old and was developed for another WP plugin):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-crm-buddypress-xprofile/

Feel free to download that plugin, study its source, implement whatever customisations you want as per Woopra and test to see if it solves your issue.

P.S. If you end up modifying that plugin to accommodate other important user data fields, don’t forget to rename it to something else and block off ALL its internal call for updates (whenever the parent plugin is pushed for updates, otherwise ALL your changes will disappear should you mistakingly push through with the update).

@mtm-solutions

Try add_filter( 'bp_do_register_theme_directory', '__return_true' ); added to bp-custom.php

See https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-default-theme-moving-forward-with-bp-1-9/ also http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/the-future-of-the-bp-default-theme/ and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5212

Alternatively, what about https://github.com/modemlooper/Buddy-Default

Buddypress 2.0 should have a new template pack – see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/milestone/2.0

On your site? I haven’t got one

On here (BuddyPress) I’m @henrywright

hello shaunokeefe, were you able to modify the buddypress email notification settings for the group email? The plugin “welcome pack” only has options to modify for the “personal messages” though I didnt get it to work.

Likely in your s2member setup, you are integrating some BuddyPress functionality and since BP is deactivated the s2member plugin is throwing up an error. So now you are locked out of your admin.

There is a simple solution if you have access to FTP.

Just rename your ‘wp-content/plugins’ folder to ‘wp-content/_plugins’. Note the underscore.

This will instantly deactivated all plugins, as WordPress will not be able to load the plugins directory. Then you should be able to log in again. If you rename _plugins back to plugins, then your plugins will load again. So maybe rename s2member so it deactivates, then reactivate BuddyPress and then s2member after.

I wrote my own theme and am always trying to do things the right way but initially things were not working correctly with bbPress or BuddyPress. I now realise was my theme using the_excerpt rather than the_content on the special pages.

I’d read the topics in the buddypress codex on theme support but these mainly addressed the issue of altering pages using the template selection rather then explaining what a theme author needs to do to make their theme work properly with bbPress or BuddyPress. Just explaining how it injects its content into pages (by hooking the_content) is not immediately obvious to the newcomer.

In my theme I had been using is_singular() to know when to show content rather then expert and use parameterised preferences for each post type for when is_singluar() was false.

Simply changing this test to (is_singular() || is_page()) suddenly turned my theme from incompatible to reasonably compatible. The “/forums” slug still did not work properly but after searching around I discovered the is_bbPress() function and expanded the test to:

(is_singular() || is_page() || (function_exists(‘is_bbPress’) && is_bbPress()))

There may be other tricks and gotchas I haven’t found yet, but as I say it would be really nice to have a topic directed specifically at theme authors to make sure they know what needs to be in place to make things work.

Our buddypress plugin main plugin was deactivated by accident and now we can no longer access any content on the website or login ad admin to reactivate it.

I am not sure what to do. We had a backup of the entire wordpress installation prior to that mistake and it was restored in full. This is from the error log:

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_is_register_page() in /home1/tgscca1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/s2member/includes/classes/custom-reg-fields-4bp.inc.php on line 50

Looks like your theme css is overriding BuddyPress.

hi @aniclip

it’s not a bug, you just try to translate something that doesn’t exist in the original file !
The exact string is Notify group members of these changes via email

If you’re using BP 1.9 the string to translate looks like this in the po file:

5912 #: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/single/admin.php:26
5913 #: bp-themes/bp-default/groups/single/admin.php:26
5914 msgid “Notify group members of these changes via email”
5915 msgstr “Signaler par mail les changements aux membres du groupe”

If you need the fr_FR translations, you can find them here:
https://i18n.trac.buddypress.org/browser/fr_FR/tags

And in the future, also here:
https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/dev/fr/default

And of course, any information about translating BP in french is on the french BuddyPress site: http://bp-fr.net

Ok what is not clear in that particular guide is the necessity of creating a new forum but selecting ‘category’ rather than ‘forum’ when you save/create it, this category is the groups forums parent and the slug that you would see appear in that select option, the one referenced ‘Groups Forum’ is simply an example name.

Have a read of this other guide to installing bbPress from new written by our own @mercime as it explains the steps very clearly:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

The upgrading guide will need a little editing to make things clearer.

Hi, I tried this code but it doesn’t seem to do anything? Is there a change that needs to be made to it for latest BuddyPress versions?
Thanks.

Tried reinstalling BP – still REDIRECT LOOP disaster. On top of that, deleting the plug-in is impossible. When I hit “Deactivate” in Safari OR Chrome, I wait – then get “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in… buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-template-loader.php on line 195”

Just a mess. Deleting all tables and manually removing the plug via ftp again. Ughhhh!
