BuddyPress.org

Is there a way to change the status update to a post instead of the current?

Check out http://buddydev.com/buddypress/limit-groups-per-user-plugin-for-buddypress/

Not quite clear about registration in group. Default is that if the plugin above is activated, once a user Joins (not registers) a group, the member cannot join any more groups.

Write a filter.

buddypress\bp-members\bp-members-functions.php Line 1396

$message = apply_filters( ‘bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message’, $message, $user_id, $activate_url );

Not easily out of the box, from what I know. Why on the groups pages? Are you wanting a registration to be associated with the group that they registered from?

If i had to do this, I would use either build a form and put it on the group’s home template or use a third party plugin like Gravity Forms to add a form via shortcode on the template. There are pros/cons to either method.

If all you are doing is associating a group with a registration, then having a link to the BuddyPress registration page (via a querystring – say ?groupid=1 or ?groupname=test-group) and have that registration page include that group id in a hidden field (that gets added as a BP profile field upon submission/registration).

The integration we had developed for us was a few years ago. There was a lot more to it than just “I’ll attend” and “Maybe” buttons. We had it developed to show the events a member was attending in the activity stream, as well as a few other features that integrated with BP. We have a developer on our team now that is fairly familiar with BP and will hopefully have more time to work on an integration sometime next year.

Good luck with your current project. Hopefully we can have an integrated BP solution sooner, rather than later 🙂

You would need the coding knowledge of php, html and css.

Hi Martin,
I am interested to know if this is a custom registration page that you built or is it an available plugin. Registration has been a big issue for me. I am using WPUF Pro with their Buddypress Integration Add On to create a custom registration page but am having issues with user meta compatibility at the moment and therefore am looking for a better solution.
The issue for me with my solution is that the user fields map to Buddypress but do not save correctly due to user meta incompatibility. Still working on this and trying to solve.
Please let me know if you have found a good solution. Registration form in buddypress is a big problem and needs a multi-tabbed solution in my opinion.

try replacing the ‘wp’ with ‘bp_actions’

function bp_remove_feeds() {
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_sitewide_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_personal_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_friends_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_my_groups_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_mentions_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'bp_actions', 'bp_activity_action_favorites_feed', 3 );
	remove_action( 'groups_action_group_feed', 'groups_action_group_feed', 3 );
}
add_action('bp_init', 'bp_remove_feeds');

You could use BuddyPress but something like gravity forms might be better since you would not be using 90% of BuddyPress

i dont personally know how to make the pages show up on sub sites but i do understand it’s possible with certain modifications. some (all?) of the buddypress widgets can be placed on on sub site sidebars out of the box.

yes that’s correct by default (without modifying things) all of the buddypress settings are applicable only on a network level. most of the front end buddypress features/content are meant to show only on your primary hub site of the network but the activity and other activity on the sub sites will be recorded and listed in the main activity feed for your main site. Some of the features can show up in sub sites as well (mostly in the form of widgets i believe).

np @samdg but as mentioned higher in the thread, removing the username from the url might be a different story

As an example, if you wanted to align-right the “active time ago” text you could put this in your theme’s style.css

.item-meta .activity {
    float: right;
}

As I said though, there are many ways to do it depending on your exact needs. text-align: right is an example. Make the parent element position: relative; and then use position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; is another. The best approach will all come down to what you’re trying to achieve visually overall.

@montaya WP/BP versions? Is WP installed in domain root i.e. example.com and you created a network from there with subdomain structure? Did you activate BuddyPress in Network Admin > Plugins? Did you go to Settings > BuddyPress and set up BP configurations?
