BuddyPress.org

That is the connect plugin choosing the username not BuddyPress. You can use this plugin to allow users to change their login which is the username slug. http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-username-changer/

if you use 1.7 trunk you can proceed. If you’re on the stable release 1.6.3, you have to check the path of the group forum and the path of the SW forum.

Bp use by default “forums” for group forums and this slug has priority. This means it cannot be reused for another page, like bbPress plugin.

bbPress plugin comes by default with the same slug name (settings > forum > forum slug)

You simply have to change this to something other.

imath: I’ve just done a code review of your plugin (the version on github, in master), and have left some feedback on Github. We’re keen to use it on BuddyPress.org once the issues are addressed.

Hi disapointed,

Recent plugins are all network activable.

First of all, plugins have nothing to do with buddypress, which is itself a plugin.

on a single WP install, you “activate” plugins.
on a network install, you “activate site wide”.
By default, WP is a single install. And “network” is a WP parameter. You can install buddypress on a single WP.

Each plugin you install on the main blog is also installed to be used on the network blogs.
To give them these oportunity, you have to check the “plugins” checkbox on the network settings page
your_site/network/settings.php
If checked each blog admin can choose which plugin he want to use on his blog.

Difference between a WP plugin and a BP plugin ?
Technically, none. They work and use exactly the same principle: html, php, header infos, hooks, actions and filters.

But….

The header of a BP plugin contains a tag: buddypress
This is a crucial information for WP who knows then that the plugin should works only with BP installed.

If this tag is missing, the plugin is intended to work with WP (and maybe in some case with BP)
Another difference exist in the action, hooks and filters names, even if this is purely coding stuff and depends on programming quality and knowledge.

And that’s all !
Already disapointed ?

thanks @chouf1,

just upgraded the plugin in repo : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddy-bbpress-support-topic/

once the change set applied, you’ll be able to use this :
`add_filter(‘bp_bbp_st_print_support_type’, ‘dan_style_support_topic’, 10, 2);

function dan_style_support_topic( $topic_status, $support_status ) {

if( $support_status == 2 ) {
return ‘‘ . $topic_status .’‘;
} else if( $support_status == 1 ) {
return ‘‘ . $topic_status .’‘;
} else {
return $topic_status;
}

}`

@intimez Definitely a disappointment. Do you know of any plugins to accomplish this? I was unable to find any.

Or is anyone interested in a making a plugin for this?

@limitx3m

bbpress plugin that can be used for buddypress groups or just forums would be great. As it is right now, very confusing since each version don’t have the same support for plugins.

Still nothing guys?

@voopress

Dude, I have been trying to get another issue resolved for over 3 weeks now.
I agree, with all these experts it baffles me that you can’t get answers.
I feel your pain!
It’s incredible!

Hello and again, problem solved ….it´s a little bit embarassing 😉

@lpds
@pjfbncil

you have to log out from WordPress, otherwise you are not able to see the register page. If your are logged out and then try to register, the page will appear (it was so in my case).

Many greetings,
michi

Good Morning,

I have the same problem, I just install WordPress and Buddypress, the registration and activate page doesn’t show.

did you find a solution

Thank you

@nylarosie,

first, you certainly need a child theme for your Frisco theme with all the modification you do, want to do.

Read the Codex how to accomplish this and also your theme doc.

It’s extremely important that you understand how your install and BP are working.
We all, and you the first, wasting time if all the help you receive is ending by “doesn’t work”.

To add a sub-menu, you have to create a custom menu who goes to BP group page. After that you can create a new php page called join_group.php and add it into your child theme.

In this file you integrate all necessary html tags to reflect your theme, the php who belongs to BP groups and all the conditions to join any group you have and the join group button php code. Done. But be warned, this is a rough scenario, who need certainly to be adjusted a bit.

Now go back to your custom menu and add  join_group.php file as sub-menu target.

That said, it’s not a good idea to do that. People mainly don’t like to search in dropdown menus for some simple action like joining a service.

Do it simple ! 😉

@Digital Soup Worked for me too! Thanks!

Hello, I received the solution from houseofstrauss: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-the-user-id-for-pm-plugin?replies=2

Thanx @houseofstrauss

Is it also possible to integrate in buddypress the member header? The link work, but he does not detect the user from buddypress, the user I want to mail.

And is it possible in the same window e.g. in Thickbox to open Colorbox or Lightbox?

this link is:

a href=”the_messaging_page/?pmaction=newmessage&to=<?php the_author_ID(); PM me

the_author_ID is not correctly for Buddypress.

Thanx Greetings R.

Désactive tous tes plugins en les renommant via FTP, sauf BP, et vois si le problème persiste. Puis réactive-les jusqu’à isoler le coupable.
Deactive all your plugins by renaming them via FTP, except BP, and see if the problem persists. Then reactivate them 1 by 1 to isolate the culprit.

Et merci de répondre aux questions posées par @mercime, c’est important.

@ajim808
no that is wrong…go to groups you created and then goto admin, under it forum…uncheck the box and save then refresh the page and check the box and save the setting again…let me know if thhis helps.

For sure you can !
Copy /activity/index.php to your child theme and invert line 94 & 95

Also add select=selected to the update option to get finally this:
<code>
<option value=”activity_update” select=”selected”><?php _e( ‘Updates’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?></option>
<option value=”-1″><?php _e( ‘Everything’, ‘buddypress’ ); ?></option>

</code>
Empty your browser history to view the change.

And take care by copy/pasting from here.  You probably have to rewrite the curly quotes into single quotes.
