you’ll have to check your settings conciensiously.
First, deactivate bbpress and BuddyPress. Launch WP alone, just in case of.

Activate BuddyPress and review the settings. Each activated component should have his own page, without any content. Activate permalinks and use any option except “default”.
Sync BP and WP users in BP settings.

As BP component you need at least Messages and i recommend you Extended Profiles for better UX.

Now go to dashboard > tools and repair BP. Back to front and see how BP works. Test messaging.

Activate bbPress and read here before starting to set it up.

After bbP settings, return to dashboard > Tools and repair the Forum

Cross finger that the sky doesn’t fall over your head. Buddy, you’re done ! 😉

hi @scribbleben,

thought there is no theme who fit a project to 100%. It’s only a tool to show a project. And BuddyPress is only a plugin, which let you handle a user community in a certain way.

You don’t need a page builder. BP is fully dynamic and WP publishes posts like a champ, so you probably won’t need more than 2 or 3 pages over those effectivly required by BP.

You don’t need a framework theme if the project is for one client or if you use BP 2 times a year for other clients.

You don’t need a theme full of bells and whistles, but an utility tool which let your client earn money or live with his community, without spending tons of hours to learn how his bells plant is working or returning to university to doctorate for a whistle diploma.

I would suggest use 2012 or 2015 during the period you build the project. Find an acceptable compromise between client desire, needed plugins and eventually some custom functions to add. Once that structure is built, you will incorporate it to a theme.

Your 4 points.

1) WordPress
2) BuddyPress
3) BuddyPress
4) WordPress and BuddyPress

So i’ve probably resumed your needs or even what you already did.

Which theme is the closest ? Almost any, but with 30 000 themes under the hand, it’s not an answer.

The important thing to know would be your client’s opinion about internet, web sites, ergonomy, personnal surf interrests. Equally, the specifics about hosting, bandwith, maintenance budget, supported device, target usage, and a few other little details which you haven’t listed yet.

Is this your first BuddyPress experience ?
If so, perhaps visiting some BP sites online will help you to come nearer about what can be done – independantly of any layout consideration in a first step.

See Your BuddyPress forum
or my own showcases here and here (french, european and word site examples).

Hi @matthias70

There are quite a lot of active BuddyPress plugin developers out there, although you’re right in that there’s not as many BuddyPress plugin developers as there are WordPress plugin developers.

Both kinds of developers overlap, so feel free to put plugin ideas out there, and who knows, maybe a BuddyPress dev (or a WordPress dev) will decide to build something.

The po file you used initially contains errors or missing strings. This file is on glotpress and indicate it is 100% translated. Problem is, that Glotpres doesn’t control the syntax and 100% translated doesn’t mean working to 100%.

If you use this po file as work base, you have already 95% translated and probably some typo errors. poEdit handle this and shows you which strings are not “completed” or have “changed”. In this case, you have to validate the translation. Such difference are highlighted in a different color, so they’re easy to see.

It’s not automated, but a kind of.

Suggest you open an enhancement ticket to get some dev advice about this. Give an explicit title, a short description of the situation and simply link to this topic.

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

Hey @danbp

More about this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_notifications_add_notification/

@mcpeanut isn’t trying to add a new notification, instead the aim is to get the ‘unseen’ mention count.

More about this:

bp_notifications_add_notification

and an example used by bbpress
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.3/includes/extend/buddypress/notifications.php

SWA shows by default all members activities, listed by activities type

– all members activities [ default tab – aka home ]
– my friends activities [ my friends tab ]
– my groups activities [ my groups tab ]
– my favorites activities [ my favorites tabs ]
– my mentions activities [ my mentions tab ]

When you’re on a profile, tabs are not using “my something”. When you click on “friends” you get a list of your friends, not their activities. The only activities showed on a profile are those of the profile, by default the profile home tab which is Activity.

Since BP 1.9, you can use any existing WP theme.

Don’t loose your time to work on it and use a child-theme with a (recent)theme of your choice.
The files you can copy to your child are all in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

what are the other 4 parameters?

They won’t help because it’s the count that you really need, and that is passed to the function. Everything else in the function is useless with reference to what you want to do.

To see how it all works, take a look at the BP core code, the notifications component section in particular:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/tree/master/src/bp-notifications

You may find a function has already been written but my guess is you’re pioneering the way on this, and therefore would have to write something yourself (or open a functionality request ticket on Trac).

Hi @mcpeanut,

Bug confirmed at my end using Twenty Twelve, WP 4.1.1 and BP 2.2.1. No plugins installed.

Can you open a ticket on Trac, reporting what you’ve found?

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

I think this is just what I need too – but will it work for public groups, though in a members only site?

I’ve set BP so that only admins can create new groups, I only have 3 groups, and have added the code to automatically join all new members to all groups (which seems to be working well) – found here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-new-members-to-groups-automatically/

By the way @danbp or @whoaloic can you confirm that I would copy the file bp-groups-template.php and put it in my child theme\buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php and then edit line 2747?

Many thanks.
