No one using this plugin?
@mgkoller – Thanks for adding your comments / helping me out.
Whey you say that you got the times working using the BBpress forum running alongside BuddyPress, do you mean the times in the forum itself, or the times in the BP Activity Stream that reference what was posted in the Forum? i.e. ” posted an update in the ..blah blah… hours ago”?
For me, the time in the actual forum works fine. i.e If I created a new topic right now it would say ” said 1 second ago”. But if I immediately go to the BP Activity Stream, it says that I started a new topic 5 hours and 1 second ago.
.. and then of course I have the problem as everyone else in WP Admin Activity where the same activity as above is 5 hours ahead.
Thanks!
Mike.
@JJJ , please look at this post, could these two problems be connected somehow?
Ah okay, I had been confusing the first one with the second. The BuddyPress Skeleton Component looks like the perfect starting place.
Edit: looked through it some more. THANKS! This is perfect (just needs some updating).
I have a lot of experience with custom post types, but within BuddyPress I believe the group functionality would be better.
Here is an example mockup:
For the above functionality, it would make sense to use a custom post type and a custom post screen within a users profile. However, using a variation of groups would instantly give me:
- Ability for users to follow the vehicle (change members to followers)
- A blog for the vehicle (using group blog)
- Easy interface for users to manage their vehicles, I could quickly create admin pages for specifics (a page to specify capabilities, like range and speed, which would be used in the group listing page to filter vehicles)
- If a vehicle were a university project, multiple “owners” could be specified.
- I could use a task management plugin for vehicles
I’m not doing anything with vehicles, but I thought this would be a great example of using a variation of groups. I could also get this functionality through multisite and user blogs, with each vehicle being a blog with integrated theme and custom admin panel to match the user profile, but that is much, much more work and a really heavy implementation. It would allow each vehicle to be a powerful hub, but that’s beyond what I need.
Beyond that, I would also want to have groups used like on BuddyPress.org (Plugins vs themes), but I don’t want them to share a slug (/extend/plugins/ vs /extend/themes/).
Sounds like your role wasn’t being automatically set correctly here on buddypress.org. Both of your accounts are set correctly now, and I didn’t make any changes. This isn’t cookie or cache related, it’s bbPress (what powers our forums) not behaving the way it’s supposed to.
It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this, but it’s something I haven’t been able to duplicate with new accounts. If anyone else has this problem, and reads this, drop into #buddypress on Freenode/IRC, and ping user ‘jjj’ so I can look at your account in real time when it’s happening.
bp_core_redirect calls wp_safe_redirect which is pluggable, meaning you can replace it with a function that includes a check for the component and action within the redirect url.
I had a problem for over a week to login to BP forum (!!!??). Please check the post on the WP support forum about it.
The problem was (is?):
If I’m NOT logged in, I can open the Buddypress forum and find and read my topic.
Of course, I can’t post on the forum if I’m not logged in. So when I log in, and click on “Support” in order to open the forum I got “Error 404 – Destination Not Found” (Buddypress.org page with menus and all other elements but in the middle it says: “Error 404 – Destination Not Found”).
If I go under my account settings, I can see my topic under “my activities” > “my mentions”, but when I click on the link I got “Error 404 – Destination Not Found”.
I emptied all cache and cookies and I tried from different browsers, machines, networks, I even created and tested with new user account, but it is always the same. I have NO CLUE what to do!
Today somebody suggested that he had the same problem, and the solution was to click on all the menu items ones first before clicking on the forum (??). So I did, and it worked (??????) – I could finally open the forum.
Please guys, what is it? If I’m to use BP I want to be sure that I can use the forum, and that this whole thing is working.
Thank you in advance!
I sent theme to theme review:
https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10967
I hope it will get accepted 🙂
@resom – BuddyPress doesn’t properly support capabilities (in the current release) except for some basic is_super_admin checking.
The moderator/keymaster/forum roles are from BBpress. And currently have no uses inside buddypress.
In 1.7 (the next release) the core devs have been working on making this better – See: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2348 for developer discussions on this.
It happens with certain webhosts. Determine whether it’s your installation which is not sending the email or whether your users are not receiving the email for some reason or another (possibly in spam folder?)
Check out “BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails” section in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/user/faq/
I am still working on default wordpress version locally so dont have a published version yet. Buddypress and bbpress will be in child theme.
An example screenshot for comment display from local version:
You see date is opened on first comment because my mouse was hovering.
I will modify this comment template and will use on bbpress
Nice work. I’m very curious what your bbPress styling looks like, but I couldn’t find a link to a forum in any of your example sites.
cool looking site can’t help much with the coding stuff myself though.
Yes but the plugin simply creates pages, which is wordpress. I need to remove something from the theme, which makes it buddypress.
If you create any page / post in wordpress you get the ‘leave a reply’ comments section, there are links to the previous and next post in that category (in this case, events) which I want to remove, so it is actually a theme question.
Thanks for replying.
And why are you wasting moderators time calling them to your post here, what are we supposed to do to help you here?
If you have a gripe email the developer directly, emails/contact details are generally found in the readme txt files of the plugin.
It is not Buddypress’s responsibility to announce if a thirdparty plugin is still being kept current 😉
That very well known and respected author keeps a busy github account going for all his work please check there to see the state of play.
This isn’t really a BuddyPress issue is it!
What is this ‘Events’ Section? BP has no events component so, presumably, you are referring to a plugin? Plugin queries ought to be addressed to the plugin author.
One thing you might check is whether whatever this event thing is has a named page page-events.php or similar then you could edit out the code calling comments or disable comments on the page in the backend/dashboard.
@geekboy68k
It depends on user activity 🙂 And the time user registered. TestBP.org is for testing, and developers do some cleaning there from time to time. Plus BP was updated from 1.0 to 1.6 there, and not always those updates were smooth.
On your site there will be “registered” record and all other activity items.
@slaffik
Yeah, thousands of users is much more than the optimistic version 😀 I’m sure I don’t threaten. 1024/2048 (burstable) VPS should work fine. Thank you very much!
Also, I have another (last one) question. Look at it – in this profile you can see that user became a registered member and posted an update – http://testbp.org/members/luxubu/
In this – only update and activity comments, no other actions – http://testbp.org/members/chirs/
And in this – nothing – “There was no activity found…” – http://testbp.org/members/klassicd/
On what it depends? Anybody knows?
I have 4 separate WP 3.5.1 and BP 1.6.4 installations. I have connected them via the CUSTOM_USER_TABLE CUSTOM_USER_META_TABLE’ lines in the wp-config.php file. I have also installed the WP Orphan plugin.
When a person goes to one installation to register they will be given a user account and a blog site. When they go to one of the other installations they are there as a user but not having a site. In the admin listing of users, they are listed as a user in the ‘/’ (or admin) site, presumably as Subscriber role.
If I wanted the user to have sites the other installations as well being users what would I have to do then? Would I change the role to ‘Editor’ in the Orphan plugin, or is there another database that I would have to share?
@mercime Waw it works!!!!!
Thanks a lot
Best, M
Hey @slaffik 😉
Thanks for your quick reply, i’ll include it in my plugin 😉
have you tested this on a vanilla WP BP install
If it helps at all I got the times working using the BBpress forum running alongside BuddyPress, But I’m still having the same issues that you posted regarding the BuddyPress Activity times.
