I’m having problems with this too – but you shouldn’t be editing the core files as they’ll likely get over written. Please can someone advise me how to do this?

My now defunct code:
function new_group_items_setup_nav() {
global $bp;
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => ‘Latest Club Posts’,
‘slug’ => ‘recent-posts’,
‘parent_url’ => $bp->root_domain.’/’.$bp->groups->slug.’/’.$bp->groups->current_group->slug.’/’,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘show_blogs_from_club’,
‘position’ => 20 ) );

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ => ‘Events’,
‘slug’ => ‘events’,
‘parent_url’ => $bp->root_domain.’/’.$bp->groups->slug.’/’.$bp->groups->current_group->slug.’/’,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->groups->slug,
‘screen_function’ => ‘show_events_from_club’,
‘position’ => 20 ) );

}

add_action( ‘wp’, ‘new_group_items_setup_nav’, 2 );
function show_blogs_from_club() {

//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘show_blogs_from_club_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘show_blogs_from_club_screen_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘groups/single/plugins’ ) );
}

function show_blogs_from_club_screen_title() {
echo ‘My Page Title’;
}
function show_blogs_from_club_screen_content() {

// page content goes here
locate_template( array( ‘groups/single/blog-posts.php’ ), true );
}

function show_events_from_club() {

//add title and content here – last is to call the members plugin.php template
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘show_events_from_club_screen_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘show_events_from_club_screen_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘groups/single/plugins’ ) );
}

function show_events_from_club_screen_title() {
echo ‘My Page Title’;
}
function show_events_from_club_screen_content() {

// page content goes here
locate_template( array( ‘groups/single/events.php’ ), true );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘new_group_items_setup_nav’, 2 );

@foxly I can see in your spreadsheet that Jet Events System is listed as “fail” to work with BP 1.5, but I just tested it and it works fine for me perhaps the tester forgot to click on “update database/templates” buttons? can you clarify this? thanks!

Hello, thanks for the response.

I tried bp_setup_nav and with that the menu item does not even appear. my code is

`

add_action(‘wp’, ‘CubePoints_List_Menu’);
function CubePoints_List_Menu(){

global $bp;
$cubepoint_link = ($bp->displayed_user->id ? $bp->displayed_user->domain : $bp->loggedin_user->domain) . $bp->cubepoint->slug . ‘/’;
global $wp_filter;

bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
‘name’ =>’test’,
‘slug’ => ‘top_points’,
‘parent_slug’ => $bp->cubepoint->slug,
‘parent_url’ => $cubepoint_link,
‘screen_function’ => ‘top_points_screen’,
‘position’ => 70,
) );
}

function top_points_screen() {
global $bp;

add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘top_points_events_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘top_points_events_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/plugins’ ) );
//bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_em_template_screen_one’, ’em/screen-one’ ) );
}
/***
* The second argument of each of the above add_action() calls is a function that will
* display the corresponding information. The functions are presented below:
*/
function top_points_events_title() {
echo ‘Top Points’;
}

function top_points_events_content() {
global $bp;

?>

hello world

<?php
}
`

With this the menu item shows up, if I hover over it points to the correct place, but when I click it just takes me to the home page. I have tried several variations of this code with no luck.

This is really easy with S2Member. Go to your S2Member settings in your admin and then General Options > URI Restrictions.

The next step would be to block the sections you want to protect based on membership level. If you would like to keep the group homepage visible, you could do this:

URIs That Require Level #1 Or Higher:
/members
/events
/groups (if you want to block all access to groups)

You can also protect certain templates (like the post form or a join group button for example) by using S2Member conditionals. For instance:

`
Some content for Members who are logged in with an s2Member Level >= 1.

Some public content.

`
It’s a great and extremely powerful plugin! Good luck Be sure to check out the S2Member APi/Scripting section in the plugin settings to learn (a lot) more.

PS: Shameless plug: I’ve created a BuddyPress Theme with S2Member Integration as well.. Read more about it here: http://bp-tricks.com/purchase-bp-slick/#S2Member

Hi Sven — Thanks! I replied to your question on the google group. Copy/pasting here for the sake of completion:

Depends on whether you’re using EventPress on WordPress or EventPress on
BuddyPress — support for nicely displaying tags and categories hasn’t been
included at the moment, but for I can definitely add in templates for
WordPress by 0.1.3. Tag/Category support in BuddyPress needs much more work
and will take a bit of time.

@David Lewis, It’s a page template in your standard theme directory. You just need to select it in your page edit screen as template for the site where you want the calendar or event list to be displayed.
Look in your theme for a file: page-events-list.php
If you can’t see the template, check the page-events-list.php and add the missing Template name.
`
/*
Template Name: Events Calendar List
*/

@kunalb, first of all, thanks for the nice powerful plugin. Brilliant work!
I have a question. how can I display the event categories?
I like to display The event categories in the sidebar. But with the eventspress templates for the entry. Not as a normal entry.
I couldn’t find anything in your files. Will this function be developed soon? It’s an important part for me.

Dude – I want it. I have mixed feelings about the GSOC Eventpress effort. It’s kinda bloated and there is still too difficult a workflow process (I’d have to tweak all of the templates just to de-confuse my members)

How can I get my hands on this and take for a spin?

I have just been playing around with eventpress and am very impressed, find the plugin file layout a little different than used to in it’s use of a MVC pattern and the new custom pages but the results look very good, seems pretty stable.

Jet events is also worthy but I did have to customise it to add google maps picked up automagically from event address fields, the plugin does look to be in ongoing development which is good, although the same can be said of eventpress.

Jet events tables can be changed just create your own templates it’s what I would have done.
As for authors just check the files as they carry that information.

Best thing is to have a play around yourself with both to get a feel for which suits.

(appended here so that other participants can read the answer)

In reply to your message saying that you still don’t see the tab in the subnav, I could be wrong but I would be inclined to think that your problem is not caused by the WP/BP versions (I am running the latest ones) but by the theme you are using.

The “Events” nav is posted in the member profile through this call (in bp-events.php)

/* Add ‘Events’ to the main navigation */
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __(‘Events’, ‘bp-events’), ….. [stuff removed here]

In order for this to work, your theme (wp-contentthemesyour-theme-herememberssinglehome.php) should contain this call in the “right” place

bp_get_displayed_user_nav()

e.g. If I take this line away from my theme (I decided to turn a regular WP theme into a BP compliant theme thanks to BuddyPress Template Pack), then the “Events” tab no longer shows up (and a few others disappear too).

So you might want to verify your theme. Is it truly BP-compliant?

@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

Brajesh

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.
