BuddyPress.org

@southernroutes we are aware of the issue. check out https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4571

– What did you create – Group Forums or Sitewide Forums or Sitewide/Group forums?
– Click on the phones forum, there should be a form where you can create a topic for that forum.
– Did you enable registration in your site via Settings > General ?

You’d find the basic information about BuddyPress components at https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/

Limiting the number of groups which can be created by user is plugin territory https://wordpress.org/plugins/limit-groups-per-user/

buddypress and bbpress
Two completely different apps/plugins, bbpress is a forum plugin that integrates with BP groups if desired. Activity streams are designed to try and record and display as much site activity as possible. Commenting on items in the activity stream such as forum entries has always had issues and the advice and best practise generally has been to disable commenting on such items in the activity stream in order to avoid this confusion.

I don’t write code and I think that this needs to be set up with backend controls so that people like me can use it. Otherwise, you should have a notice saying that BuddyPress and BBPress are only useful to programmers.

Uttered out of frustration!. Sorry but BP does a lot out of the box but works best when taken and modified to suit the individual site. You always have the option of learning some level of coding ability, stating you don’t want to learn code somewhat limits your ability to use and manage these apps really, it’s not simply a case that they MUST be written for absolute non coders, these are open source apps that represent thousands of hours of work that people get to use for gratis, expecting more than that a little unfair? Also both these two plugins really do do a remarkable job of working out of the box with both teams having put a lot of effort in on that side of things (too much imho)

Edit// Just realised you have attempted most of what I covered here, as mercime asked have you contacted the theme authors? They will probably need to provide the solution as their templating system is fairly proprietary.

Yes we know they do and that is because the WP themes naturally follow the WP template API and BP theme compatibility is and can only be based on that, I’m afraid that example ‘page’ template you show diverges so far from that WP normal ‘page’ that BP won’t be able to work with it.

However you may be able to create your own custom BP ‘page’ template by following the bp codex guide for theme compatibility and creating a file named ‘buddypress.php’ locating that in a new folder ‘/buddypress/’ or ‘/community’/ in that file copy the content of the themes page template you have shown us but replace the section that represents the content with a standard page loop, thus you keep the themes approach to fetching the layout but replace the content rendering section.

If that doesn’t work then you really need to take this to the theme authors and explain the issue and ask if they can provide a workaround.

Mine was also super slow and we moved from Blue Host to MDD Hosting and that took care of most of it. I also installed W3 Total Cache because I was told to… It’s much better! http://www.tafaforum.com

RTMedia looks like it’s going to be the best solution, but it still doesn’t work properly on my site. I keep testing it at each update, but so far, no luck… 🙁

Hi,

Check this links

the Buddypress codex
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/plugin-development/

Some tuts
http://wp.tutsplus.com/tag/buddypress/

not even sure how to use it yet

@ziva777 BP Codex is your friend.
– https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/
– https://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/

AS for the BP Component links in your main menu, use the custom menu in your WP theme and add whichever links you want to main menu.

@brannie https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-dynamic-profile-link-to-main-menu-item/

Now I’ve put this in, but it still doesn’t work out:

‘//get the thread permalink for activity
function ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2( $activity_id, $activity_obj = false ) {
global $bp;

if ( !$activity_obj )
$activity_obj = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );

if ( ‘activity_comment’ == $activity_obj->type )
$link = bp_get_activity_directory_permalink(). ‘p/’ . $activity_obj->item_id . ‘/’;
else
$link = bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() . ‘p/’ . $activity_obj->id . ‘/’;

return apply_filters( ‘ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2′, $link );
}’

Not really clear what their solution was, presume they were referring to copying over the groups core directory from 1.7.3, this does not sound like a hugely sensible fix mixing files from two versions but probably won’t cause issues.

Here’s what I did meanwhile:

1. removed all those junkcode, I had originally in 😉

2. found that display-issue in the above + corrected it in the code, which seemed responsible for no text/ no links being given (I inserted the missing a-href):
return apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification’, ‘‘ . $text . ‘‘);
… but this also did not bring up the link + text …

3. wonder about that line:
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink2( $activity_id );
…removed the “2”, because with that in, my toolbar disappears…
Should that be noticed in the ac_notifier too, with the need to keep the “2”?

4. any notifications (even the live-notification-popup) still only appear on the likers-side, still not yet on the liked-user-profile!

So this is, what it looks like atm:

function bp_like_setup_globals() {
global $bp, $current_blog;
$bp->bp_like=new stdClass();
$bp->bp_like->id = 'bp-like';
$bp->bp_like->slug = 'bp_like';
$bp->bp_like->notification_callback = 'bp_like_format_notifications';
$bp->active_components[$bp->bp_like->slug] = $bp->bp_like->id;
do_action( 'bp_like_setup_globals' );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bp_like_setup_globals' );

function bp_like_format_notifications( $action, $item_id, $secondary_item_id, $total_items,$format='string') {
global $bp;
$glue='';
$user_names=array();
$activity = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
$link=ac_notifier_activity_get_permalink( $activity_id );

//si c’est le posteur d’origine, dites que vous êtes, d’autre dire de% s après
if($activity->user_id==$bp->loggedin_user->id){
$text=__("your");
$also="";
}
else{
$text=sprintf(__("%s’s"), bp_core_get_user_displayname ($activity->user_id));//quelqu’un
$also=" also";
}
$ac_action='new_bp_like_'.$item_id;

if($action==$ac_action){
// if ( (int)$total_items > 1 ) {
// $users=ac_notifier_find_involved_persons($activity_id);
$total_user=$count=count($users);//montrent de nombreux utilisateurs uniques ont commenté
if($count>2){
$users=array_slice($users, $count-2);//simplement indiquer le nom de deux affiches, le repos doit être aussi et ‘n’ autre a également commenté
$count=$count-2;
$glue=", ";
}
else if($total_user==2)
$glue=" xxxx1xxxx ";//si il ya 2 utilisateurs uniques, disons x et y commenté

foreach((array)$users as $user_id)
$user_names[]=bp_core_get_user_displayname($user_id);

if(!empty($user_names))
$commenting_users=join($glue, $user_names);

if($total_user>2)
$text=$commenting_users." xxxxxxxx2xxxxxxx ".$count." xxxx3xxxx".$also." xxxxxxxx4xxxxxxx on ".$text." post";//peut-on changer la poste à quelque chose de significatif en fonction de l’élément d’activité?
else
$text=$commenting_users.$also." xxxxxx5xxxxx on ".$text." post";

if($format=='string')
return apply_filters( 'bp_activity_multiple_new_likes_notification', '<a href="'.$link.'">'.$text.'</a>');
else{
return array('link'=>$link,
'text'=>$text);
}
return false;
}

}

any suggestions?

thx in advance!

@myironlung3 Switch to Twenty Twelve theme and check if BP content is showing up. The issue ight be that the theme is using proprietary templating system so it’s not rendering BP content. Have you contacted theme developer for assistance in getting the_title and the_content working in your buddypress.php file? Could be that just using the template tags is not enough but might need a “bridge”/extra functions for compatibility with BP. You could paste your theme’s original page.php source code in pastebin.com and post the link here so we can take a look.
