BuddyPress.org

Thanks.

@mercime:

i followed the instructions provided (put the 2 files in my child theme directory), however i can’t see changes in my website.

any advise?

thank you.

Ok, I have created extended profiles for users under the wp admin: Users > Profile fields

There is one thing that I can not do with the options provied in buddypress.

I want to create a section under the profiles similar to the “Family” section in facebook:

1. Relationship Status: should open up the options where people can select one from drop down and then other fields pop up where people can enter the name of the person they are in relationship with.

2. Family section: where people can add a name of a family member,  select the relationship and then keep adding more family members by repeating this process.

How can I do this?

Is there a plugin that does this?

Thank you.

Buddypress default theme.

All the latest of everything, but this has been an issue for 4 months.

Thanks Chouf1! I was using buddypress followers. I have now uninstalled it and installed buddypress follow me. I see there is a widget for users I am following, but I am looking for one that just displaying the avatar of the user and the “follow” button. This way you don’t have to go into the users profile to follow. It makes it simple and easy for someone to follow someone else.

Looks like I may need a custom widget?

OK…just wanted to post the fix for this. I’ll let the JetPack folks know, too.

To fix this, locate the class-IXR.php file in the \wp-includes directory. Then, locate the following line, comment it out (//) and save it:

header(‘Content-Length: ‘.$length);

Thanks for your response. I’ve been working on making a child theme of the buddy press default and I’m in the process of completing redoing all the CSS. This is how I’ve run into the issues, and in fact, I continue to find them. In the folder members > single > profile > profile-loop.php version 1.6.1, there is heavy use of tables for positioning the radio inputs yet other sections for settings (as in groups), there are no tables used. Issues like this are making consistent styling throughout the site quite cumbersome.

Since some of these markup issues are untenable to me as I do my work, I’ve had to change them, further specifying my child theme against the parent theme. This now presents an upgrading problem. I will have to thoroughly test any new version to ensure that I don’t have issues.

@Paul Gibbs

Not sure what you mean. When I look at the global.js file, I see at least two kind of things going on. There are things like ajax calls and error handling and then there are purely cosmetic issues such as height and scroll animations upon certain field focusing. I don’t see why these should be commingled in the same file.

For example, initially I ran into trouble with re-styling one of the textareas due to the cosmetic javascript, so I went in and commented out the offending lines. But then I decided I didn’t want a complicated build process every time the client updates the theme, so I eventually kowtowed to the javascript and kept the textarea height to match.

For me and other developers to have full control over the appearance of our themes, this is currently a stumbling block. But admittedly, I did not spend a great deal of time looking of global.js and maybe I’ve misunderstood and everything in it is cosmetic and optional?

EDIT

Sorry Paul, I misunderstood that you were responding to the moderator above you and not to the original post. But I’ve kept the reiteration of the problem here for emphasis.

The only plugin that doesn’t seem to show up as an option on the main site is
BuddyPress Moderation – Version 0.1.6

I’ve installed it using the network admin but it won’t show up on the site I’d like to enable it on.

Thanks @mercime. I found this one yesterday but was having some difficulty getting it to work. I am brand new to wordpress so this is most likely the reason. 🙂

I need to go to my main blogs dashboard and go to menus. Then just create my menu from the links on the left correct? Or am I totally off?

Ok, I’m getting this now and have some new questions.

1: How can I list all of the different blogs somewhere? Not necessarily most popular but all blogs in some form of list that people can look through.

2: How can I make some of the plugins non network? There doesn’t seem to be any option for making network available or not?

3: Same as above but for widgets.

4: I see that users can access their blogs once logged in, however, the network administrator needs to set up blogs for users. Is there a way to allow users to create their own blogs after they have registered?

5: BuddyPress – I installed BP from the network admin however, all of the plugins seem to be networked again? Is this so that blog owners can have the forums which are a part of BP or something else? I was wanting to make BP available only on the main site.

PS: I realize some of these questions are WP so no requirement to respond on those and I can post them there. Just figured I’d ask 🙂

I am already using buddypress follow, where you have to go into a members profile to “follow” them. I just want to make it easier for people to follow other people so I was looking to do the same thing but as a widget in the sidebar.
