Andrew, the issue you raise–not doing the highlighting with javascript–is valid, and I will be addressing it in the next version, however i’m going to take another approach than you’ve suggested. So other users don’t need to be concerned with the above code, because it will work differently quite soon.

[Andrea Rennick]

Yes, it does. The groups & forums use bbpress. The MU part only manages additional blogs.

[Maythil]

WP regular with buddypress doesn’t show groups and forums.

[nickrita]

liveview, the solution is here:

[Andrea Rennick]

did you make sure you had the matching amount of closing divs?

Do you have a link to code where I can see (don’t paste it in the forum please, it’s too hard to read)

And to reiterate – don’t change your page.php template. Change the BP ones.

[rsutaria]

I am also not able to see the “create group” button. Also, when I click on the “groups” tab in my buddypress setup I am not able to get the groups directory- instead I get a “page not found” error (not a 404 but a buddypress formatted page not found).

How can I enable the “groups” page and the “create group” button?

[IPA]

Maybe being able to moderate.approve new posts may be good enough.

I am using WordPress 9.2 (not WPMU, just WP), and latest BP.

[Anton]

Would it be possible to integrate your plugin with this one: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/integrating-sign-in-with-twitter-or-login-with-twitter-to-buddypress

Reason I’m asking is that if you login with that Twitter plugin, you need to “allow” Twitter again for the Tweetstream to work for members.

[designodyssey]

I would start with GF “paid” help. I’m working with them on similar questions, so check the forums there. Ultimately, it will be a matter of creating a function that inserts the results of a bp function in the value of a form field.

[stwc]

BuddyPress -> Component Setup–>Let users create, join and participate in groups would seem to be for disabling Groups entirely, so that’s not it.

Not sure what I had in mind, there. I wonder if you can hook Buddypress permissions into Justin Tadlock’s excellent Members plugin (http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/17/members-wordpress-plugin)

Basically I’d just disallow Subscribers (if that’s your default role) from creating groups, but I’d have to go digging to figure out how to do that….

I haven’t actually tried!

1. problem with blog creation

My wpbp installation is in the folder http://mydomain.com/mywpbp.

When someone wants to create a blog the url he gets is http://hisblog/mydomain.com/mywpbp, which of course won’t work. Any solution? Can I use the present installation with some changes, or have I to start from scratch with a new installation?

2. Just one blog

This may sound funny because wpmu is meant for creating many blogs.

However, my main attraction is in the social network miraculously made possible by buddypress.

For my needs, I only want a single blog (for the admin to put contents) and a social network for users (which includes groups and forums, with the blog-creation option invisible to them).

Is there a way to handle this?

[Mark]

How do you “disallow ordinary users from creating groups”? I know I can disable the groups component completely but I’m not aware of controlling users ability to create groups. The link below resorts to removing the ‘create group’ button. Is there another way within the BP admin?

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/restricting-group-creation-to-admins

[Moominmama]

Nope — didn’t help. But I appreciate the suggestion. It would’ve sucked to disable and then enable 51 forums but then it sucks more not having working forums, eh?

[Moominmama]

Well, I’ll try that but I’ve got 51 groups and none of the forums work so I sure hope that’s not it! I’ll let you know…

[Avi M]

You could try disabling and then re-enabling the forums for that group. Doing this recently fixed a similar issue for me.

Forums are automatically created for Groups. Create a group, there’s a forum attached.

Just disallow ordinary users from creating groups, and you’re done.

[thekmen]

yeah, echoing it to see what’s returned & it returns the post/page name with component tacked on, heading in the right direction though.

Using

if ( bp_is_page( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG ) ||  bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG )

|| bp_is_member() ||  bp_is_page( BP_GROUPS_SLUG ) || bp_is_group()

|| bp_is_page( BP_FORUMS_SLUG ) || bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) )

still works fine, just would prefer an easier way & a way to make sure other components & plugins also work

Thanks again.

I’m so happy that now I got activity problem solved which I had to follow the suggestion at http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-upgrades-with-multi-db#post-28120. Unfortunately, I couldn’t solve the broken message problem where a member or even admin cannot send a private message to another member. Whenever trying to send a private message to a friend (which had been accepted as a friend already), I get this error “There was an error sending that message, please try again.”

Anyone has any idea how to go about fixing the private message problem?

[abcde666]

sorry, I have missed that this has been posted in the “ideas forum”.

I am definitely not against any new features & Supergroups is a great idea from Bowe.

Thanks for outing me as a spammer

apologies, but have to bump

[finni3]

Why are you spamming every feature request post erich73?

This the “Ideas” forum, and it where people post new ideas. Just because you have your opinion that devs should “stop all new features” that doesn´t necessarily mean that everybody shares your opinion. Please stop forcing your opinions on others….

[Boone Gorges]

This is a theme issue. The new bp-default has a main content area (where you’re seeing the “not found” message which signifies that you haven’t yet posted any blog entries on the main blog), and one sidebar at the right. You’ll have to create a child theme and register some new sidebars if you want to use the new bp-default and have a similar look to the old bp-sn-parent.

Here’s a discussion on the subject: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/three-columns

[Tim Nicholson]

BP v1.21 is very whacked out in how it handles user names and profile URL’s. I’m seeing inconsistencies all over the place. Sometimes it uses the users nicename and sometimes it seems to be using their display_name. It doesn’t handle spaces in the user name at all. With some code I found on these forums, I’ve been able to patch things up a bit, but its still a mess. Check out this thread: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/all-links-are-working-minus-my-adminauthorall-of-my-pages.

Fixing the issue with spaces in the user name is actually quite easy by adding a urlencode() function to the string that gets used to find the user. However, in most cases the spaces in the user name are appearing because BP is using the wrong user name for the lookup.
