BuddyPress.org

@tbermudas templates for support forums at BuddyPress.org and bbPress.org are custom-made for the site. For starters though, you can create a Page Template for the Forums home page, add the topics shortcode for content. For sidebar, you would look at bbp_list_forums() and output what you need. This question would be better addressed at https://bbpress.org/support/

Themes that were made before 1.7 may have issues as most are a derivative of the bp-default theme. Especially if they include a lot of custom template files and code.

I’m a newbie to php and the wordpress/buddypress way of doing things, and I seem to learn best by seeing examples, so I’m posting my “action” for overriding the allowed tags. I was able to get one other approach to work where I removed filters on bp_activity_filter_kses and added my own, but this version also works and seems cleaner. If anyone knows of a better approach, please let me know. I’m all about optimizing my code.

#*********************************************************
#  set allowable html tags
#*********************************************************
function my_allowed_tags() {
	global $allowedtags;
	$allowedtags = array(
		'a' => array(
			'href' => array (),
			'title' => array ()),
		'abbr' => array(
			'title' => array ()),
		'acronym' => array(
			'title' => array ()),
		'b' => array(),
		'blockquote' => array(
			'cite' => array ()),
		'cite' => array (),
		'code' => array(),
		'pre' => array(),
		'del' => array(
			'datetime' => array ()),
		'em' => array (),
		'i' => array (),
		'q' => array(
		'cite' => array ()),
		'strike' => array(),
		'strong' => array(),
		'sub' => array(),
		'sup' => array()
	);

//  adding any additional tags this way because it's easier to read
	$allowedtags['h1']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h2']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h3']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h4']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h5']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['h6']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['u']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['center']        = array();
	$allowedtags['big']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['small'] 	       = array();
	$allowedtags['tt']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['br'] 	       = array();
	$allowedtags['p'] 	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dl']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dt']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['dd']   	       = array();
	$allowedtags['ul']			   = array();
	$allowedtags['ul']['style']   = array();
	$allowedtags['li']			   = array();
	$allowedtags['li']['style']   = array();
	$allowedtags['ol']			   = array();
	$allowedtags['ol']['style']   = array();
	$allowedtags['font']		   = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['size']  = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['color'] = array();
	$allowedtags['font']['face']  = array();

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', 'my_allowed_tags', 10 );

i followed the instructions but im confused as to what to upload and how to point the language files. i edited the newly created buddypress-en_Us.po file and created the folder languages in the wp-content folder. but it does’nt seem to be taking.

1) am i uploading the filed buddypress-en_US.po and .mo to that folder? and if so how do i tell buddy press to read from those launguage files the script i used from the example isnt working.

@tgoedde Please do provide more information about the issue and your installation. When and where does the message show up? Also https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

You can add as much as fields as you want. The students would fill them according in their seetings page (here you could change the name for one more appealing) and those fields are searchable by default so you would not have a problem with it.

Bu BuddyPress does all you want out of the box.

BP 1.7, BBPress 2.3, WP 3.5.1, Theme: BuddyBoss

This is a major problem. I have to delete my groups!? Ok fine. Thankfully I’m in development stage right now so I removed the groups along with their associated forums. Here’s what I did next to reproduce the error:

1. Removed all groups.
2. Removed the associated forums and purged from trash. Only one site-level forum remained.
3. Recreated the groups and elected to have a forum for each one.
4. Viewed each group and clicked on Forums link. So far so good! The forum displays as expected.
5. Visited the new Groups section (BP1.7) from admin console. All groups show fine.
6. Selected one group to view it within admin console. I did notice that in the Discussion Forums meta box, the checkbox was selected but no forum was selected in the dropdown. Hmmm.
7. Clicked Save for the group. No problem.
8. Visited the group from front end, clicked on Forums link, BOOM!

I don’t know if this is BuddyPress or BBPress issue.
-Jeff

I have it set in gen admin options to allow for registration and all pages necessary for BP with their corresponding links which you can see on the top of my site???

@ghyatt I don’t see any links to the BuddyPress pages at the top of your site using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Looking at source code however, I see that it’s there and covered via stylesheet of “This is a demo store for testing purposes — no orders shall be fulfilled.” purple band at the top of your site.

1) Not the issue, but recommend fixing -> Some of your BP pages have -2 in the URL like /register-2, /members-2, /activate-2, and /groups-2 which means that you probably moved the original register, members, activate, and groups page to Trash bin but did not delete the pages permanently. So when you created a new Register page for example, -2 was appended to the page slug.

2) Re layout of your BuddyPress pages – looks like your theme has a custom-coded page which does not follow the regular WordPress templating system. That’s why the BP theme compatibility is off, including the missing submit button. Change to Twenty Twelve theme and you’ll see the Submit button in the Register page. You’d need to create a buddypress.php file https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/

hello,
The userrpofiles works great!
Can you make this also for the groups, so you can post directly to groups?
That would be great!

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/

This will help. Use “max” to output only the last 5 entries.

Can you implement this
https://github.com/johnkil/SideNavigation
instead of dropdown box for choosing filters ?

There’s also this plugin with posts on profile and also allows posting in front end of site http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddyblog-allow-users-to-blog-from-their-buddypress-profile/

@darrylnuyda
I am not certain but it sounds like a php 5.4+ error.
Try adding this code to your themes functions.php between the opening and closing php tags:
`
error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_PARSE);
`
I am not saying this is a fix but it seemed to help me on several installations. Please still supply the info @mercime requested in case there is a better solution.

I’m new to buddypress but believed a login and register link would be placed in the header by default?

Not by default. It depends on the the design by theme author.

However, instead do I need to insert my own links or buttons within the header.php to make this work?

Yes. You would need to create those. See lines 8 through 59 of https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.7/bp-themes/bp-default/sidebar.php for code. Then adjust style to taste.

Thank you, worked great! Keep up the devlopment.

That plugin has been updated for BP 1.6 per site’s plugin page. The best place to report on issues with the plugin is at plugin dev’s site http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget-for-buddypress-1-2-and-above/
