BuddyPress.org

A group is just a BuddyPress component and you can create your own components. Duplicating the groups component is not an easy task. Why do you need more group types?

Can someone shed light on a pretty simple question:

Why people say Buddypress is a multisite plugin when, in fact, it is not.
It only works on the main site. Not on the subsite.

What is the point in saying it’s a multisite plugin when it’s not ?

I spent lots of time moving my existing wp/bp site to root of my domain to make it multisite, then created a subsite, all this to make my site multi-language… Only to find out, later on, that I couldn’t* access my bp profiles, etc. from the subsite…

Am I missing something ?

I read this on some other page:
« Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog (More details about BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG):
define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true ); »

at: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

And still, after adding this, the answer to « can I put multiple blogs id in define(‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2); », is still « James: no ».

.. ?

Have you tried contacting the theme author?

@mayur-hotkar Strange. Where did you download a copy of BuddyPress? Download at https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

How did it show that ” it shows it contains virus.. So cant b installed”? Where are you hosted? Is your WordPress installed at domain root?

@mayur-hotkar are you on a multisite installation? If so, go to Network Admin > Plugins and activate BuddyPress. If you’re on a single WP installation, try to reupload BuddyPress manually, i.e. s/FTP

@mayur-hotkar BuddyPress is compatible with WP 3.7.1.

@beenyoung you can submit a BuddyPress Trac ticket at:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Trac is where the core developers hang out so if you think there is a bug in the way the BP core works then that is the best place to raise the issue.

@speedyworm BuddyPress uses the theme’s page.php to render the BP components. Have not seen a thesis theme for some time. Do check Thesis’s forums if someone already made the child theme for BP Theme Compatiblity already. If the page.php file of a thesis theme has the proprietary templating system where you cannot see the_title() and the_content() tags within the WP loop, then:
– create a new thesis child theme for BP
– copy over the parent theme’s page.php to the child theme
– change child theme’s page.php so that it contains the_title() and the_content() tags within the WP loop.

Use init hook instead of bp_init! Place in bp-custom.php :
https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/

function pcfbp_lite_cut_nonreg_visitor_rss_feed() {
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		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('init', 'pcfbp_lite_cut_nonreg_visitor_rss_feed'); 

Make sure the single quotes are not being modified if you are copying and pasting the code!

@dtabraham
I’m looking for the same functionality and would prefer, to pass the user role over to a custom xprofile field to integrate it in buddypress search.
Meanwhile I show the user roles with a function I found in the forums:

bp-custom.php:

function pc_get_userrole ($user_id) {

$user = new WP_User($user_id);

$userclean = $user->roles[0];

return $userclean;

}

function get_user_role( $user_id ){

  $user_data = get_userdata( $user_id );

  if(!empty( $user_data->roles ))
      return $user_data->roles[0];

  return false; 

}

and then echo where you want (in my case I did it in member-header.php):

<?php echo get_user_role(bp_displayed_user_id()); ?>

You can take a look here: link to a profile on my site

greetings

Hi, I’m currently working on an application that can be submitted to the stores. It will be available at Buddy Sidekick

I’m working on an iPhone and Android App and will be available at BuddySidekick.com

BuddySidekick.com Should be ready in about 2 weeks.

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).
