BuddyPress.org

@Whyameye and PeD,

In the plugin , there is a sub-directory called “events” (under bp-events) that need to be moved under the root of your selected Buddypress theme (i.e. same level as groups, members, activity, etc…)

Other thing I noticed:

When creating an event, one can attach the event to a group. The problem is that the group does not show up later on (it should display “organized by [name of the group]”) when displaying the event. In order to fix this, look for function bp_event_groups_dropdown( $grp_id ) in file bp-events-templatetags.php and replace this loop

foreach ($groups as $group) {
echo “name.”‘”;
if ($grp_id == $group->id)
echo ” selected”;
echo “>”.$group->name.””;
}

echo ”;

with

foreach ($groups as $group) {
echo “id.”‘”;
if ($grp_id == $group->id)
echo ” selected”;
echo “>”.$group->name.””;
}

echo ”;

(i.e. replace “group->name” with “group->id” in the if statement)

If U can find the template tags for forum posts, groups, events, post them here please

I’d like to put this on forums, groups, events, etc…is there a list of template tags somewhere?

Have you moved the template files to your current theme. It seems you have not moved the template files from bp-events to you theme.
Move them to your theme and the links will work.

In fairness I guess that this post on this thread wasn’t too helpful and got a lot of hopes up especially given the implied timelines and nearness of completion:

Great News! Heard back from Erwin re bp-events and he authorized me to post an update (quoted)

I am working with Dave Aubin to make bp-events work with 1.2,

including the new templates. That is just days away (I hope), then

I turn the code over to Sven who has been working on integrating the

excellent jQuery plugin FullCalendar (and has the code ready to go)

once I hand over the bp-events 1.2 code.

I tell you, working with the new template system without any

documentation has been quite the chore as I am sure you know as well.

Once that is all working I will release a preliminary version

and work on some additional features/widgets.

So, I hope bp-events 1.2 comes out within a month of the

official bp 1.2 came out, so in all, not too bad!

BP 1.2 was released on Feb 16th so I think it’s safe to ball-park a working copy around mid march, by his estimation. Suffice to say I am fired up.

Hi pjnu,

Maybe you haven’t defined a template to display your event in the settings menu? I’d need some more information to go on (any errors elsewhere, php error logs etc.)

Please message me on here (just friended you) as I wouldn’t want us to hijack this thread further.

UPDATE-IMPORTANT!

r-a-y, is there any way to get comments on blog and forum posts (in the BP activity pages) to actually add the comment to the WP blog post or as a reply to the forum post? This would be SO useful. The way it works now is that your user’s comments end up staying only within the BP activity stream and don’t get reflected on your actual main website (blog)! Disabling it prevents that, but also removes the convenience of user’s being able to comment globally from a single place on their BP activity stream pages.

I have to believe this *should* be a pretty easy plugin to develop (depending on how modular the WP and BP code is around this), but would much rather see this built into BP core. I already have a dozen WP plugins that I feel are essential for any blog and as I look to roll out BP, that’s going to add many more. I’m tapping out a dedicated server as it is and all these hooks and plugins and template tags and such require some seriously beefy hardware.

@Erwin: Ya… I don’t blame you at all and I fully support bp-events being 1.2+ only. No backwards compatibility. The new default theme is great… big improvement on the front end… but the file structure has been radically altered. It’s going to be a pain for a lot of people. I tried making new bp-events templates myself for 1.2 and gave up after about a week. I’m glad you’re on the case because I had no luck.

@MrMaz

Thanks for pointing

@webbimperiet

hi Daniel

This is related to theme not to the bp-links plugin. If you feel comfortable with css/xhtml, just use plugin-template.php as a base and create all the files in links directory based on that.

I am currently busy with a plugin and will be back to this theming again after that only, so if you can wait for 3-4 days, I will provide templates for bp-links/bp-events+updated cosmicbuddy for free [which I promised long ago there].

Otherwise, if someone have already templated cosmicbuddy for bp-events/bp-links, please point here.

Thanks

Well… the new default theme for 1.2 works in 1.2 I’ve been working on a child theme based off that for a couple of weeks now. It works great! Altho’ bp-events doesn’t work well with the new theme since bp-events uses the previous 1.1 template structure.

Well… the new default theme is pretty different from the old default theme. The templates are structured in a completely new (and better) way. I had built a child theme off the old default… and it took a fair bit of work to get the same child theme working with the new default. I imagine that any plugin which relied on you adding a folder full of template to your theme (like bp-events for instance) will have some issues with BP1.2 and the default theme. Unless the compatibility thing Andy is talking about will address that too.

I’m aware of that plugin. But bp-events is the only events plugin that integrates with BuddyPress. With bp-events you can invite friends, associate events with groups, etc. Very different animal.

Anyway… I haven’t quite given up… but I’m close to it. The new default theme is structured very differently from the old. I understand how it’s organized… such that the main template folder for your component just houses the directory and single views… while the templates for member’s stuff (i.e. your groups, your events, your blogs, etc.) are in “/member/single/…” … and there is only one loop which is loaded below the tabbed navigation via AJAX. I get all that. But trying to re-factor the old bp-events templates to work that way is causing me great pain. LOL. By the time I figure it out… Erwin may have resurfaced and released an update.

All I know is… my site cannot launch without this component. So at the moment anyway… I’m stuck with trying to hack the old bp-events or launching a 1.1 site with the old bp-events. Ergh

@dre Well… I’m not really much of a programmer. I’m more of a designer / frontend coder. But if I can get the templates for bp-events working with 1.2… I’ll share.

bp-events will work with 1.2 with some template modifications. I’ve been hacking it to work with the 1.2 default theme. I’m about 30% done. I’m starting to lose hope that it will be kept up to date however. The last commit was back in November… and the Trac site is down again. Of course… it’s the holidays right now… so if could just be that. But it seems to me like Erwin is either busy with other things (that probably pay better… LOL) or simply losing interest. Either way, it would be good to know so that perhaps someone else could take over the code. Events is a desperately needed feature of any community site.

p.s. re: my custom template tag above to show the start dates in the directory view… I just clued in and realized that I should be doing this in the functions.php file rather than hacking Erwin’s plugin. So here’s the function to add to the functions.php file of your theme.

function bp_the_site_event_date_start() {

echo bp_get_the_site_event_date_start();

}

function bp_get_the_site_event_date_start() {

global $site_events_template;



return apply_filters( 'bp_get_the_site_event_date_start', date( ('l M j - Y'), $site_events_template->event->date_start ) );

}

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'bp_the_site_event_date_start');

Then in the event directory loop template in your theme, just call it like this

<?php p_get_the_site_event_date_start() ?>

@simoncreative: Just to clarify… I am NOT part of the bp-events team. I just made up that little template tag function on my own. So I don’t know for sure if it will make it into the trunk or not. Keep that in mind when updating bp-events. This is my own personal little “hack”. When I mentioned it to Erwin, he seemed to think that such a template tag function already exists. But I checked and double-checked and said function does not exist.

Nice. Good to see someone do some real theme work (not just colors).

Are you using bp-events? The latest trunk lists the directory view by date. Much better than by active. I also added a tiny function to bp-events-templatetags.php to display event dates in the directory. I imagine this will show up in the trunk eventually. Probably just an oversight not to have a site event start date function.

function bp_the_site_event_date_start() {

echo bp_get_the_site_event_date_start();

}

function bp_get_the_site_event_date_start() {

global $site_events_template;



return apply_filters('bp_get_the_site_event_date_start',

date(('l M j - Y'), $site_events_template->event->date_start));

}

Of course, you could use whatever date format you like. I happen to like “l M j – Y”.

In your directory loop you’d just use this to display:

<?php bp_the_site_event_date_start() ?>

@ John James Jacoby,

I had a look in the bp-events-avatar.php to understand more what’s going on there.

I’m thinking the avatar part could be like it is now.

It would be enough, if the original resized image would be available.

I did some changes to the bp-events-avatar.php and make a plugin from it.

For the moment, I will use the modified functions in custom components until you offer a better way to do it. I think it would be really great if the original resized image would be saved by the core.

Be careful!

This Plugin is just a play around on a fun buddypress installation.
