Just to add a footnote to thread:

if by ‘main activity page’ we mean the /activity/ A Directory then we should be able to test for that with:

bp_is_directory()

Then not have to qualify the conditional with ! user_activity or at least be able to do bp_is_directory && whatever comp we’re after.

hi @gloopy,

i’m not a DB specialist, but so far i know about mySql, 20 000 or 100 000 entries is quite “nothing”.

Having 20 000 groups is certainly a wide range of groups to show on the Group Directory with somes seconds to handle, so it would be preferably that you think about how to sort them (recent, popular, most visited is implemented by default but also by genre: arcade, fighting, etc)

Don’t know how many members you have/expect, but i doubt that your 20 000 groups will be visited at the same time by 20 000 visitors…. If so (lucky guy), BP would probably by to small for such usage. For the moment, let’s be realistic.

For the other question, searching for group names can be done by default on the group directory page. If you want to allow the same thing from within each group, maybe you could simply add the group directory search box on each group header for example.

HashBuddy or the outdated plugin?

Above my php paygrade (0) sorry. Maybe someone else has an idea.

BuddyPress is compatible with any WordPress theme. So, yes, it will work.

You may need to spend time customising the CSS to make BuddyPress fit your site perfectly or make it appear how you want, but that’s unavoidable.

It’s unfair to say that we (the developers) are denying it. If we can recreate an issue, then it’s something we can fix. If we can’t recreate the issue but you can, it means we’re not testing in exactly the same way that you are, or that there’s something specific to your WordPress installation that’s affecting BuddyPress in some way. Clear, step-by-step instructions on how to recreate the bug help us track it down.

If you can update here or on that bbPress trac ticket, @petervandoorn, with those precise step-by-step instructions and as much detail as possible about your WordPress configuration, we can figure out a solution together.

Thanks.

Not aware of any BP-specific form plugins, but hopefully the majority of existing plugins will work — obviously the issue is how you want them integrated, which I guess is the issue you ran into.

hi @applegateian,

read here how to fetch checkbox,radio and multiselect datas

1) give each check box a unique name
2) create a filter function with your css items around the echo $data.
3) add the filter to a profile action
4) done

hi@nanaimomen,

sorry to jump in with a probably stupid question. Why do you want to use a community tool like BuddyPress where members are the center of all, and it’s you who decide for them to be friends by default ?

And if it is not possible, you want to remove any possibility to do so, so nobody can feels out ? Are you a little dictator ? 🙄
Probably not.
Please read this codex page and feel free to deactivate the friends component. 😀

Can anyone make recommendations on how to resolve registration, still not working as described.

Thank You

In theory if you set your group to “Private” or “Hidden” then non-group members are not supposed to be able to see the posts in that group’s bbForum.

However, and this is denied by the developers, I am experiencing a bug which is making all forum posts appear in the site-wide activity stream to all members, although when they click on the link they cannot view the post.

cf: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/private-group-posts-appearing-in-activity-stream-to-non-members

So, no, you’re not going crazy 😉 and yes, it is incredibly frustrating!

BuddyPress groups can’t have categories associated with them. My advice would be to just set up a different group for each island. You can make each group private to ensure that only members of that group can see the forum posts within.

Additionally, there is a plugin which will give groups hierarchies if you wanted to make it easier to group groups together (eg, if your islands are grouped geographically you could have a “north islands” group and a “south islands” group and within each group you would then have your individual islands groups).

Search for “BP Group Hierarchy”

Hope that helps

i don’t think is such a thing as buddypress roles actually.

are the forms in jetpack not good enough for what you need?

looks like you are on shared hosting 40 megabytes is probably not going to work for any halfway popular buddypress site you should consider upgrading to a vps.

Try this:

function change_bp_new_message_email_content($email_content, $sender_name, $subject, $content, $message_link, $settings_link) {

	$email_content = sprintf( __(
	'You have one new message:
	Subject: %1$s
	"%2$s"
	To view and read your messages please log in and visit: %3$s
	---------------------
	', 'buddypress' ), $subject, $content, $message_link );
	
	return $email_content;

}
add_filter('messages_notification_new_message_message', 'change_bp_new_message_email_content', 1,  6);

Here is a plugin that allows admin to view buddypress profile from admin panel.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-view-from-admin/

glad to be a help!

Create a template over-ride for this file:
\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\messages\compose.php

Then delete or comment out this:

<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ) : ?>
		<input type="checkbox" id="send-notice" name="send-notice" value="1" /> <?php _e( "This is a notice to all users.", "buddypress" ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

By definition features are only added to open source projects if people feel it’s important enough to make it happen. If you think theres a feature that every buddypress site should have then you should first lobby for it to the core group of contributors (through trac for wordpress/buddypress) and ideally offer your own time to help the develop the feature if the group agrees that it should be part of the core feature set.

If you are unable to convince others you are still free to fork the project into your own thing or better yet create a plugin which adds this functionality for others who feel as you do.
