BuddyPress.org

Also tried w3 total cache and received a fatal error so decided not to go that route either…

Update: So I decided in the end to stick with Hyper Cache, which is pretty okay, enable caching to true in the wp-config file and since I’m not expecting hundreds of visitors to interact with the social aspect of the site, it’s a small group, the images seemed to be the issue with the site’s speed and the other caching plugins were breaking buddypress features.

So I’m using Imsanity and Ewww Image Optimize plugins to control the maximum size of the images being uploaded (they get re-sized by the plugin) and to optimize the existing images I had in the library. This has helped my site’s speed a whole lot especially with the Site Activity Feed widget on the front-page.

I’m still looking into caching, looking into mem-caching but not sure if it’s necessary at this point in time for a site that if we’re lucky, has a maximum of 100 members. Hope this topic helps someone.

That process seems beyond me and very long (and I cannot find the /plugins/buddypress/bp-languages folder) I just want to change the “Private Message” button label. Can I access/change it quickly like this:
1. access buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php
2. change the ‘link text’ to the new label name in this block of code?

function bp_get_send_message_button() {
// Note: ‘bp_get_send_message_button’ is a legacy filter. Use
// ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’ instead. See #4536
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button’,
bp_get_button( apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’, array(
‘id’ => ‘private_message’,
‘component’ => ‘messages’,
‘must_be_logged_in’ => true,
‘block_self’ => true,
‘wrapper_id’ => ‘send-private-message’,
‘link_href’ => bp_get_send_private_message_link(),
‘link_title’ => __( ‘Send a private message to this user.’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_text’ => __( ‘Private Message’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_class’ => ‘send-message’,
) ) )

That works perfectly!

Thank you!

Thanks for response!

I did some research and found that s2member syncs profiles with buddypress, so that part is solved. The only thing I’m still really looking for is a notifications bar or widget, other than the wordpress one. Hopefully there is a plugin for that?

It was an error with my buddypress installation. Solved.

hey.

yeah i suspected as much sadly.

i know on simplepress forums they get round it by creating a ‘fake’ account for whatever username is typed in as the guest username, i was just hoping somebody had tried to modify it to work on buddypress at some point.

i dont have anything like the skills to try it lol.

ill have a coffee and look at the adding hidden text to the status update field again

thats the right php i think, post-form.php, how could i modify a line or two here for posting my own tags?

Okay let me re-phrase that, can you point me in the direction of templating virtual pages (such as the login page) on buddypress?

Thank you

@hnla I was planning something infinitely more simple 🙂

Just working on a little project and wanted to filter the body text and subject line of a few of the emails that are sent out.

Besides you don’t need a legend, I’m sure you could make it happen 🙂

This is really wierd but it only happens on buddy press. I just did a clean install on buddy press but all of my settings were still saved i think it might have something to do with that.
