It can be a real pain when combining js scripts so i feel you, i have not yet tried to combine the js files used within buddypress, although i have done this many times with other js files with mixed results, its a case of trial and error manually combining js files, i will probably be trying to do all this myself within my latest buddypress install when the time comes, i would recommend trying a plugin called minqueue to help you combine files as i have used this myself on previous built sites with great results but i have found an issue recently that i posted in the support forum for the plugin which you can read here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-at-first-then-logging-out-and-back-in-stops-it-working?replies=1

maybe you could try it and see if it works for you without the problems i described then i know it wasn’t just my install and config causing it.

The beauty of this plugin is that it lets you see exactly what scripts are loaded on a per page basis via the front end of your site and if you hover over the said scripts it will let you also know the dependencies of each script, then you can add different scripts to be combined in a queue on the backend, the dev has not responded to my support yet there so im still unsure if its my install that is causing the problem, try it and follow the steps i raised in the support and see if it does the same for you.

I am also suffering from this issue.

@modemlooper it was posted in support forum / github of almost all Like and similar plugins long long ago by many users. No response.

Buddypress core via trac was also requested / issue submitted to make the “Favorit” logical like comments – if you can comment both ways, favorit should also be like that. Isn’t it ? But this has been indefinitely postponed.

Jetpack Like team was requested because they have the “power and punch” – but there also nothing happened.

True – only Buddypics does Favoriting both ways.

post on support forum for like plugin and ask developer to add that feature

[danbp]

You’re connected to BuddyPress support forum, where you can get some help. There is no other way for that.

Nobody here can debug your site at your place. If you’re unable to do that, you can use BP Job Board to hire somebody.

No One Seems to be able to assist me here.

🙄 You apparently use a premium theme (sixteen plus), which make things more difficult anyway, as we have no free access to it’s code. And you use a lot of plugins… And perhaps some custom function in your theme functions.php or bp-custom.php.

No idea what happens and i’m unable to reproduce what you describe.

See here if you can apply what is described by @r-a-y.

Hi @danbp,
no I mean the link to the profile shown here in the buddypress forum replies.
When I write @danpb it is linked to your profile!
Just want the same in my bbpress install, but the code in functions.php above does not work…

[5high]

Ok I’ve searched the BP codex, all the BP forum again and the i/net and basically got nowhere. I’ve tried a few more times and new (test) members are still having email notification ON by default, so it’s definitely not working.

I’ve tracked down 2 files that seem to be involved in this and they are:-
buddypress/bp-notifications/bp-notifications-functions.php
buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-notifications.php

Please can someone help me here? From searching it’s obviously a common request – but no answer anywhere!

Waiting hopefully…

[shanebp]

Thank you for the report.

What happens if you activate it per site instead of networked ?

Did you note that is

Compatible up to: WP 4.1.1 / BP 2.2.1

?
So wordpress-4.2-beta3 is out of range.

Please continue this discussion on the support forum for this free plugin.

[danbp]

BuddyPress doesn’t handle post comments.
As you’re certainly using a premium theme (your picture is stored by that theme support), they have to tell you how you can deactivate those comments on BP pages.
You paid a licence with included support. And we have no free access to the theme, so it’s quite impossible to tell you exactly what to do.

If they don’t give you support, change your theme or find by yourself. Sorry for that.

Technically, you have to create a child-theme first. Add a copy of the original page.php of your theme and remove the part related to comments.

Which part precisely, or even a specifif function of your theme is impossible to say, as we have no information. And you didn’t tell which theme you’re using.

Search for similar question on the forum, you’ll probably find some.

[Henry Wright]

Can this be reported to BuddyPress dev team?

You can report bugs using Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

Your login details will be the same as those you use here in the forums.

@henrywright

Thanks but that didn’t seem to do much either. I even checked back to other BP_Component examples and i’m using the same hooks. I’m guessing this is something “weird” (or something i’m not aware of) with bbPress. I just went ahead and created the bbPress forum and connected it to the BP group in my plugin manually. I hate to do that – if bbPress decides to change something my plugin is going to be out of date, but such is life.

Thanks for the attempts.

[djsteveb]

I am pretty sure ” register and comes out the message that check the email to activate ” has been already answered in the forums here a time or tow – please search the forums for your answer first.

your bp associated pages info: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/

[danbp]

No it doesn’t and is throwing an undefined function error, filters only the forums template topics. bbPress also has a similar function which cannot be used outside of the forum template.

[shanebp]

Wouldn’t this work? Or am I missing something?

$topic_count = bp_forums_total_topic_count_for_user( bp_displayed_user_id() );

$reply_count = bp_forums_total_replied_count_for_user( bp_displayed_user_id() );

[David Bisset]

Thanks. Sadly this isn’t working out. I’m going to post this here in case someone can tinker with it (you’ll need BP and bbPress installed):

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14006840/curriki-group-import.zip

Yeah, i’m trying to use the BP native functions and hooks. I have no problem with the BuddyPress flow – just when it comes to relying on bbPress to create the forums is when it falls apart.

If anyone figures this out, i’ll throw them some PayPal change for some coffee. 🙂

[shanebp]

Use bp_loaded to load the file that creates the class instance.
Add the bp_ready hook in your class constructor.
Something like:
add_action( 'bp_ready', array( $this, 'curgi_group_something'), 99 );

Timing issues can be tough.
Kudos for trying to use BP native functions.
If you’re in a hurry, you can always use the brute force approach and write some custom sql to insert a forum.

[David Bisset]

@shanebp

The change to ‘bp_ready’ gets past the “crapstop” but my plugin no longer shows up in the menu. Although i’ve always thought ‘bp_loaded’ was the proper hook here, for the moment i’ll take it.

Here’s the full bit of code. Perhaps i’m not init the class properly here?


function curgi_group_import_init() {

if ( !function_exists('bp_forums_new_forum') ) { echo "crapstop"; exit; }

buddypress()->curgi_group_import = new CurrikiGroupImport();

}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'curgi_group_import_init', 20 );


[shanebp]

What happens if you use a different hook ?

function curgi_group_import_init() {
     if ( !function_exists('bp_forums_new_forum') ) { echo "crapstop"; exit; }
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'curgi_group_import_init', 20 );

[David Bisset]

Furthermore, I can create a group with my plugin WITH the “this groups has a forum” checkmark (but remember – my problem is that i can’t ACTUALLY create the forum). I can go into the “groups” area in the WP backend and simply edit the group and hit ‘update’ and WordPress DOES create the group. So it works there, but not in myplugin. I’m thinking that bbPress simply isn’t being loaded or activated prior to my plugin but I can’t figure it where or why.

[David Bisset]

@shanebp – I have looked at that. function groups_new_group_forum is called by function groups_edit_group_settings which i’m calling. The “checkbox” for groups to have a forum is updated but no forum is created.

Here’s the lines of code in groups_edit_group_settings() in bp-groups-functions.php

	// If forums have been enabled, and a forum does not yet exist, we need to create one.
	if ( $group->enable_forum ) {
		if ( bp_is_active( 'forums' ) && !groups_get_groupmeta( $group->id, 'forum_id' ) ) {
			groups_new_group_forum( $group->id, $group->name, $group->description );
		}
	}

I believe the bp_is_active( ‘forums’ ) never is true for when my plugin calls it. Therefore the groups_new_group_forum never gets run. I tried calling the groups_new_group_forum directly but that doesn’t work either. Here’s the key part in groups_new_group_forum:


$forum_id = bp_forums_new_forum( array(
'forum_name' => $group_name,
'forum_desc' => $group_desc
) );


That bp_forums_new_forum doesn’t exist. So I could change my oringial code example above to this to illustrate the same problem (the result of the code below is ‘crapstop’ showing):


function curgi_group_import_init() {

if ( !function_exists('bp_forums_new_forum') ) { echo "crapstop"; exit; }

}
add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'curgi_group_import_init' );


[shanebp]

Have you looked at function groups_new_group_forum in bp-groups\bp-groups-forums.php ?

[danbp]

Hi,

did you searched in bbPress ?
plugins\bbpress\includes\extend\buddypress

maybe you’ll find some answers there ?

like bbp_add_group_id_to_forum() in extend/buddypress/functions.php

[Henry Wright]

Do you think that perhaps the plugin I’m using, to block those several pages, could be causing the issue?

Is there any way you can disable it to see if the problem resolves?

I’ve always wondered if it’s normal that it says /forums/forum/?

example.com/forums/forum/ is quite normal. I’m not hugely familiar with bbPress but I think there’s an option in the back-end to disable the base slug if you wish:

example.com/forum/

[Alice Kaye]

Hi @danbp

I have a specific plugin that is blocking those pages, unless you’re a member of the site itself, so those are not supposed to show to the average user.

Someone on the official WP forums said that maybe it was a re-write error that is happening in the .htaccess file and so he told me to download that, and then when it messes up again with the Page Not Found alert, to then download the .htaccess file again and compare the two, to see if it’s re-writing oddly. If so, then he directed me to adjust it to 444, rather than 644 (though I am unsure of what issues could arise from that).

Do you think that perhaps the plugin I’m using, to block those several pages, could be causing the issue?

Also, I’ve always found it odd but, if you go to my forums (as a member) and go to any of the topics within, the URL is odd, always has been through three installs: http://www.heartwoodgaming.com/forums/forum/bulletin-board/general-banter/

I’ve always wondered if it’s normal that it says /forums/forum/?

Anyhow, thank you for the message! Hoping I can get to the bottom of this nightmare.

[mrgiblets]

P.S. I Think I posted this in the wrong forum, could an admin please move it to a more relevant one if possible and I promise to be more careful in the future 😉

[mcpeanut]

@mrgiblets HI, I was the same as you when i first came to these forums nearly 2 years back, although i had website developing experience i found buddypress just as confusing, the best way to learn is to get stuck into it in my opinion, there are quite alot of good reads regarding things you may need to achieve in these forums, you should also read through these pages here https://codex.buddypress.org/

When typing a message using “@” the dropdown list that pops up as soon as your start typing should only show names of the current users friends. What happens if you have 10,000+ users on your site? That’s going to get annoying for the users really fast. At very least there should be an option in the backend to activate this functionality.

I tend to agree with this 100 percent, i have mentioned (ironic lol) this before in these forums, you should really have an option to either have @mentions for either sitewide or friends only.

LIKE button. I wasn’t that surprised that something like this wasn’t installed as standard, but as this is an integral part of social interaction these days I was shocked after spending days trying to find a plug-in that works with the current version and have only managed to find one that works but is shaky at best. There are lots of “no longer available” plug-ins and bits of code and hacks out there but again – removed or deleted when you try to view them. From what I gather this seems to be something that developers have had real problems implementing. I can’t even find a single premium LIKE button plug-in out there! Surely it’s time to have this feature as standard?

I believe from what ive read from the dev’s talking about this but i cannot remember the link to give you, that they are working on this via the already built in favorites button, they are trying to adapt it to a kind of liking system but their main concern seemed to be scalability and are working on a way to reduce the queries and database hits this could potentially have an effect with.

A clean current install of BP doesn’t include a BP theme. I have read that you have removed this and tried to implement it with any standard WP theme but that doesn’t help new users when trying to figure out what BP is capable of. Despite formatting issues many of the things it can do simply aren’t that obvious with a default WP theme. Surely it should at least give you the option to install a standard BP theme from theme manager?

They decided to stop support for the default theme and i would advise you to really search for a newer theme anyhows seeing as buddypress integrates with most themes flawlessly now.
