this is cool but what if i have a page with some php and HTML code i wrote on it? how do i link to that and have it be in the buddypress template? i found another thread about it https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/make-your-own-custom-buddypress-page but it’s not working and nobody’s come up with a solution for it yet.

@profitsbuzz – try the updated forums that ship with bp 1.1+ because they’re a bit better than the previous version (and very easy to install). otherwise, you can try your luck with the simplepress plugin.

I agree, messaging is completely worthless without autocomplete.

I have friends enabled. made friends with users and still no autocomplete.

When I inspect in firebug, it says that autocomplete is off. See below code.

<input id="send-to-input" class="send-to-input ac_input" type="text" name="send-to-input" autocomplete="off"/>

I have searched the forums and found people have similar problems(though they were several months old), however, no solution has been posted that I could find.

Is this a 1.1.1 bug?

Hopefully a moderator sees this and helps us out.

Issues with under-allocated memory when running PHP are a common occurrence for many PHP-based applications. It is just one of many things you need to know–or find out about–when you are in charge of systems administration.

I usually set my PHP mem at 96MB.

[Anonymous User 96400]

I guess so. I need that much just to run most of my single WP blogs.

[profitsbuzz]

I do not mind using the buddypress theme, however I do not like the forum config with bbpress can I work my way around it.

[Xevo]

Nice, I can really use this. Since I’m probably going to use zips/rars/torrent files a lot in the forums.

Thanks!

[Catherine]

but it is trying to load my main website template, i need that – how do i tell buddy press to load a different template for bbpress?

[Xevo]

Had the same problem with an older buddypress template (deprecated template) on a new buddypress release. Gave me a 404 even when I used either of the forum installs. Then when I used the newest release of the template it worked fine. So yes, its most likely the same problem.

Why not just take an existing template that works and edit that? As far as I know there shouldn’t be any major changes on templates anymore.

[Catherine]

I just went in and made a group make a forum – and no go –

i am sure it is a template issue, because i moved the bp template into the main template folder to test this

when logged in as admin i can see the forum main page!

(I tried posting this reply as new threads for 2 days now, but it won’t take, so trying it as a reply to my thread to see if it shows up….. this better explains my question)

I”m not sure what I am trying to do is even possible, so before I install bp again, I figured I would ask first.

I run a network of mu blogs, and want to give each of the blogs their ‘own’ bp.

My best guess as to how to do this is to stat by uploading the bp plugin into plugins instead of mu-plugins, and then only activating it on the blogs which I want to use bp.

I can then add the template/css files from bp into each blogs theme directory, along with any logic files needed. This way each site can have their own ‘unique’ bp theme, matching the blogs theme.

What I am not sure is possible:

In this scenario, is it currently possible to filter all of the widgets, like the activity stream, to only show activity for the users belonging to the blog being viewed at the time?

I have a custom plugin already that allows people to signup on a sub domain blog without having to go to the root blog. Each member is then transparently added to a few other sub-domain blogs as well as the root blog… i have future plans for this.

This means that each of my sub-domain blogs have their ‘own’ userbase, so separating out the activity in bp ‘should’ be possible?

My idea is that there should be no reason for a user to ever leave the sub-domain blog to edit or view their profile pages, or the pages of friends etc..

They would only be able to see the members and groups, groups forums, created by the members of the sub domain blog only… is that possible?

I plan on offering bp only to my ‘premium’ sub domain bloggers, and most of them will have their own custom domain name mapped.

So if the sub domain blog ‘xyz.com’ users should not even know that my ‘root’ wpmu install is at ‘123.com’ which is how bp worked for me in the past.

It was making my bloggers ‘angry’ that their users were sent to another site to update their profiles etc…. so I am trying to figure out a way of giving them bp on their own site.

I have no problem applying filters myself in order to filter the members to the blog in question only, if filters would work.

What I don’t get, is I would have to figure out how to ‘assign’ bp to the blog in question instead of a particular blog. (in old bp we had to add command to functions to tell bp which blog id# bp was installed on)

I hope this makes sense…. is this currently possible?

[Jeff Sayre]

This thread is pretty old, especially since there have been many changes to BP over the 7 months since it was first started. But, there are some good hints about what you can do.

Please remember that the bp-custom.php file should be placed in /wp-content/plugins/ and not /mu-plugins/ as is mentioned early on in the thread. When the thread was first started, that location was correct. But not anymore.

Might be a silly question but do you have any forums created for any of your groups?

[Sven Lehnert]

could it be possible, that just from my user account the activity stream has stop working?

Now I try to use my favorites to find my active topics. But I also have no favorites button in my profile.

If i use the url https://buddypress.org/forums/profile/svenl77/favorites

I see my favorites.

It’s not easy to use the forum for me like this.

any idea?

[Sven Lehnert]

Hi JasonG, thanks for your help.

You wrote: Here is the case breakout of the types.

Where did you find this? Do you have a function name for me?

I still have problems to bring it to work. Hire is the original function from the parent theme on the forum index page. It calls bp_has_site_groups( ‘type=most-forum-topics&max=6’ )

If I look into this function I cant find the switch case from your post.

How to use groups_get_by_most_forum_topics()??

Do you have an example?

I’m looking forwart to your replay!

<?php if ( bp_has_site_groups( 'type=most-forum-topics&max=6' ) ) : ?>



<div id="popular-group-forum-listing">

<h3><?php _e( 'Popular Group Forums', 'buddypress' ) ?></h3>



<?php do_action( 'bp_before_directory_popular_group_forums' ) ?>



<?php while ( bp_site_groups() ) : bp_the_site_group(); ?>



<div class="group-forum">

<div class="item-avatar">

<a href="<?php bp_the_site_group_link() ?>/forum/"><?php bp_the_site_group_avatar_thumb() ?></a>

</div>



<div class="item">

<div class="item-title"><a href="<?php bp_the_site_group_link() ?>/forum/"><?php bp_the_site_group_name() ?></a> (<?php bp_the_site_group_forum_topic_count( 'showtext=true' ) ?>, <?php bp_the_site_group_forum_post_count( 'showtext=true' ) ?>)</div>

<div class="item-meta desc"><?php bp_the_site_group_description_excerpt() ?></div>



<?php do_action( 'bp_directory_popular_group_forums_item' ) ?>

</div>

</div>



<?php endwhile; ?>



<?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_popular_group_forums' ) ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

You create a forum as part of a group; you can’t get standalone forums. If you had existing groups you need to go to the ‘admin’ page of each group and enable its forum.

@snapstart, I think that’s a different issue. Would you make a separate post please?

Perhaps that’s a similar problem. But your directory page shows (as far as I understand) and mine doesn’t.

[gsmith6673]

So if the blogs are from WPMU what does BP bring to the table? I’m on both forums learning and having a good time, but on occasion I get lost trying to keep the two straight and separated.

thank you so much for the lesson – by the way…

i am having the same problem – it appears to work however when you go to /forums you get a 404 page for the blog…

[Jason Giedymin]

This function helps provide the ‘Latest Forum Topics’ list of topics which is default; part of the parent theme on the forum index page.

For your help:

Here is the case breakout of the types

switch ( $type ) {

case 'active': default:

$this->groups = groups_get_active( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'alphabetical': default:

$this->groups = groups_get_alphabetically( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'random':

$this->groups = groups_get_random_groups( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'newest':

$this->groups = groups_get_newest( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'popular':

$this->groups = groups_get_popular( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'most-forum-topics':

$this->groups = groups_get_by_most_forum_topics( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

case 'most-forum-posts':

$this->groups = groups_get_by_most_forum_posts( $this->pag_num, $this->pag_page );

break;

}

As you can see, if specifying ‘most-forum-topics’ it runs:

groups_get_by_most_forum_topics()

From there it does a straight up dynamic select to the database to get the forum data.

There is no conversion, and there is no import.

With versions of BuddyPress previous to 1.1, bbPress was an external library, meaning it was integrated with an XMLRPC bridge but was never included in the core of BuddyPress. This meant that bbPress could technically be anywhere and BuddyPress could still get at it, but it also meant that it was more difficult to integrate and make play nicely together.

Only use the existing bbPress installation option if you used a version of BP older than 1.1, or you had a separate installation of bbPress that still shared the user tables with an existing WPMU/BuddyPress installation.
