BuddyPress.org

We’ve installed BuddyPress on our community site (http://businessovercoffee.com) and all is well, except we don’t receive email notifications when a new user signs up. We need to be able to field these and welcome the new users – how can we turn this on or make this work?

Am successfully inserting a post via a plugin into a website on which buddypress is active.

The post comes in properly and is properly recorded on the home/post page.

However

these posts are NOT recorded in the sitewide /users activity streams.

$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
'post_author'	=> $user_id,
'post_title'	=> $post_title,
'post_content'	=> $apost_content,
'post_category'	=> $category_ids,
'tags_input'	=> $tags,
'post_status'	=> 'publish'
), $wp_error );

1) any ideas how to remedy same.

2) I understand that as per

bp_activity_add()

and

Posting Activity from Plugins

I should be able to insert content into activity directly

I thought i could insert the same content into Activity directly with something like:

$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array(	
    'action'            => 'A link from NewsSite', // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
    'content'           => $post_content,        // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
    'component'         => false,                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
    'type'              => false,                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
    'primary_link'      => 'false',                 // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
    'user_id'           => bp_loggedin_user_id(),  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
    'item_id'           => false,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
    'secondary_item_id' => false,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
    'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
    'hide_sitewide'     => false,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
    'is_spam'           => false                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
  ), );

but that didn’t happen!

Any help much appreciated.

Should be learning this stuff faster, but i’m not !!!

Hi there again, i have been building my website with the theme atahualpa and upon installing the new beta there is a problem with the themes sidebars (all was fine before and if i revert back to 2.1 all is fine again.

Atahualpa is one of the most downloaded themes of all time since 2007 and is a widely used theme and lets you pick what pages your sidebars appear in its options by excluding them from certain pages by page or post id.

i currently have 3 active sidebars sitewide but exclude them on certain pages.

So i will give you a quick run through of the problem. on buddypress 2.1 i have excluded my members pages from having any sidebars via atahualpa options on the members pages and all works fine, example = both wxw.mywebsite/members and wxw.mywebsite/members/username have the sidebars excluded ( as they should be).

but as soon as you install the beta 2.2 on atahualpa only wxw.mywebsite/members is excluded where as the wxw.mywebsite/members/username url’s are ignored and the sidebar shows up on these pages (as they shouldnt be).

Hello community,
I am writing as I am currently enjoying Buddypress on my website, however we are having different problems integrating it with s2 member.
Firstly, did anyone ever have any problems with paypal sending the confirmation email to your users?
Secondly, does anyone know how to (or if it’s possible to) register via s2 on a mobile / tablet?

Lastly, which other membership plugin that supports buddypress would you recommend?

Thanks so much!

Hello!

I would like to make all of the pages associated with BuddyPress on my wordpress installation all full width with no sidebars. When I created the pages that BP wanted for the register/activity/etc pages when I first installed BP I set them all to use the full width templates and they are not loading using it. When I view these pages it has both of my sidebars showing.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Thanks!!

Hey, I have installed BBpress and Buddypress and before I had enabled Buddypress when I would click on a users name it would link to the page /members/user-name but not it only links to /members

Is there any setting to have it link to the users name again?
