BuddyPress.org

ChrisClayton, thanks.

Can you tell how to enable shortcodes on activity stream of profiles, groups etc.

Or, is there simple way to enable it everywhere?

So ‘friend’ hasn’t actually made an attempt to work this up or if so how far did they get?

This does smack a great deal of treating the forum as a coding service!

It may be an idea to wait for 1.7 to be released then this process will be a whole lot easier.

fwiw hasn’t ”Continuum’ already been packed by @mercime?

Yep it has, OP you really need to check these things first, you should have checked the BP codex first you would have seen the link to the guide with all the work done already for you.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.4/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/edit.php would normally correspond to huddle/members/single/profile/edit.php file. Since you’re using a premium theme, we have no way to know if the theme author changed the HTML structure of that page. Back up your theme’s edit.php file and watch out that when you change the PHP tags, you won’t mess up the HTML tags in return.

@indirakrishna – Chat is a huge area, and there are all kinds of solutions (some better than others) 🙂

It depends on how you need the chat plugin to function, really.

BP Chat

Any updates on the questions from the above developers??

And @Talon is it working on your site now ? And how is it ? are there better or best alternates for point and ranking system for all the buddypress users

I have seen many of these forums finally Is there a chat which allows both groups and friends with cutomised limitations like if in a group only we want friends to chat or in a group all the members can chat but out side the group only friends can chat

PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY SELFHOSTED FREE Plugin ?

Is a there a free self hosted chat option available which allows only friends to chat in buddypress?

and does the chat feature in WPS fullfill this requirement?

how to migrate total content from buddypress to wps with out disturbance to users and members of the website

@indirakrishna if that is your goal, then the best place to ask at their forums re migration tools, if any, from BP to WPS https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-symposium
Good luck.

Hi !

Can’t find BuddyPress Extended Settings ? Is that normal ?
How can I change my “forum” tab name ?
Thanks !

@indirakrishna this thread is two years old. Please continue your post at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/wp-symposium-vs-buddypress/
Closing this topic.

I would not recommend using multiple social plugins on the same site

Hi,great developers and surely I know Boone Because I am using many of his plugins

But can you guys answer me counting me as a NOT A DEVELOPER OR NOT EVEN KNOW CODING BASICS as I am from indian engineering background I do not have much idea into coding part. So do let me know of the best plugins which are free and self hosted on my BP so that I can get all features in WPS

@resom that’s really strange. Is this a new installation? Have you deactivated plugins except BuddyPress to check if there’s some conflict?

Howdy y’all. This was a small bug introduced in BuddyPress 1.5, that is now fixed in trunk, and will come as part of 1.7. I’ll cross-post this to bbpress.org, since I know users there are having these issues also.

@intimez I misunderstood your first post. I’ve just updated the instructions for installing sitewide and group forums. https://codex.buddypress.org/user/setting-up-a-new-installation/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/

Look at:

Line 252 of wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core-template.php

You can create a filter in function.php, or just hard code the search box (look at the HTML for the search bar, then replace the call for it with a call to template file, or edit the core code.

You could add “/forum” to the end of the permalinks on “groups/groups-loop.php” of your theme.

Take a look at this topic:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/#post-55449

I set a custom tab as the default for my internal collaboration system based on BP, can’t recall exactly how I did it but the above topic looks about right.
