BuddyPress.org

Hello,

I would like to add a text field in the activity stream.
Do you have an idea how to do that ?
I found the different persons who talk about that :
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/add-custom-fields-to-activity-stream/
http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/adding-a-second-element-for-posting-with-an-activity/?topic_page=1&num=15

But I don’t know what to do. I tried some example but nothing work…

Somebody know ?

Thank you very much for your help !

I decided to jump into 1.5 and see what popped up on my site. Here are some of the things that didn’t work out of the box (Using Current WP and latest BP):

Plugins:

Bp-Like – Failed. via @hempsworth (will be updated soon according to him)

Activity-Stream-Bump-to-top failed. via @nuprn1 (Currently Rich is not updating this, but I hope somebody does for 1.5 as this is a most useful plugin)

External blog failed. via @bowromir

Bp-custom code that didn’t work:

Error:

Code in that section:

Line 143:
` $activities_template = new BP_Activity_Template( $page, $per_page, $max, $include, $sort, $filter, $search_terms, $display_comments, $show_hidden ); `

The most unexpected thing for me was that BuddyPress asked me to “initialize it” and I had to walk through all of the steps as if it were a new/fresh buddypress install not an updgrade…. it didn’t wipe my databases, but I was afraid that it had… is this expected behavior?

For What It’s Worth…

Hi

let me first explain the situation as good as possible. I have a site up and running (http://www.slople.com/) that’s built be me in php, but not in wp/bp. I installed wordpress and buddypress in a subdirectory to play around and it’s working.

Now I need several things in the next few days I think I can not achieve alone. I have some ideas how to solve it, but since I am in no way an expert in wp/bp, I’d need your help.

Things to solve:

1. On each slople (example: http://www.slople.com/index.php?slopeId=13644&sortId=0) people should be able to discuss/share images/share movies. I thought of creating a group programatically for each slope (about 10’000 at the moment!) and displaying the activity stream of each group right below the content you can see above. Remember, those pages in the root are NO wp or bp-pages! That bp-section below the existing content should first show the group-members, then the comment-form and then the activity stream. I’d like to display the login-form in a separate box on the right (and don’t redirect them to the standard wp-login when someone enters a wrong user/password)
2. This should be most easy and I may be able to achieve this myself Make a custom menu on top of the page, where users can navigate to the current non-wp/bp-page (something like “home”) and of course have access to the buddypress-features (not all, I don’t want users to create blogs etc.)

So please please please, if someone can help, get in contact with me ASAP! mail@slople.com or reply here.
Forum-admins: If this is the wrong place to post, please move or tell me where to post. Thanks!

create…
-Welcome page with information about your profile, a blog in the side bar, two scrollable boxes that have the last updates on things.
-a bar at the bottom that have icons to other websites I *may* make
-a bar at the top with customizable categories not just “home”, “activity”, etc.
-I want two different types of members, one with more power than others
-I want the lower status ones to be able to submit a form with information directly to the ones with the higher status

Sorry if these answers were obvious

I will not give specific details, but these are things I am looking for:

I’m puzzling what the point of the custom pages are in 1.3 or whether something has changed I’m unaware of.

I had a page set up for directory forums – labeled ‘all group forums’ – this I set with a parent ‘groups’ which was a parent of a page called ‘community’ more a test than anything. This worked fine and /community/groups/all-groups-forums/ resolved to the forums directory just fine… until today when hitting the link just produces a 404.

and I can set ‘Activity’, and ‘Groups’ directories as a child page of another and they are found quite happily!

Hello all,

I have a rather simple problem that does not seem to have a simple solution. I want to make the user names on the activity page in my theme links to the user’s profile (just like their avatar) but the entire meta section of an activity post seems to be contained in “bp_activity_action()” which I can’t make heads or tails of. If anyone can help me out or provide a suggestion I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
