No courseware. The site was launched March 2009 on WordPress MU/BuddyPress. Slight modifications based on snippets/plugins posted by Burt Adsit, Paul G., Boone G., JJJ and Andy.
The content is mostly pre-recorded video and audio – not a formal educational program with assignments etc. So the setup is pretty straightforward and most of the customization is just theming. Main site has different content for logged out and logged in users. “Classrooms” are private sub-domain blogs (soon-to-be sub-domain sites) with a classroom theme. The main site and classroom sites are both using custom child themes powered by the BuddyPress default theme.
I’m in the process of upgrading the site so I’ll be around here more often if you have questions.
I’ve just tried to integrate Buddy Press into a custom template I built for my sit STRAYOutdoors.com, but I’m having trouble with the Member Buttons that members use to connect with each other.
When a member tries to “Send Private Message” or “Mention this User” they are redirected to the latest blog post. Also, when a member tries to “Add Friend” they get a message that a message on the page that says “Friendship could not be requested.”
I’m running WordPress 3.0.3 and BuddyPress 1.2.6. I used BuddyPress Template Pack 1.0.2 to add BP functionality to my theme. I’m using a number plugins, but would rather not disable them as I’m working on a live site (yes, I know, bad idea, but it’s still a small site, so the stakes are fairly low).
These functions remained broken when I switched to using the default BuddyPress theme also, which makes me think it’s something to do with a plugin. (Does anyone know of any know plugin conflicts that might cause this?)
I’ve looked around, but haven’t had any luck finding an answer.
I’ve installed the plugin Easy Albums but I can’t create any gallery in the profile pages. When I try appear the message:”Error creating an album please contact the site’s administrator”.
In the plugin option page there is this error:
Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /membri/privatecommunity/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-easy-albums-photos-video-and-music/includes/bp-easyalbums-cpBase.php on line 124
There was an error validating you Cincopa secret Key
Please help
That “section” could be a “group” component already in WordPress and joining groups is either voluntary for public groups or by invitation for private groups and each group can have a forum if the group admin so chooses. That’s basic behavior which can be changed via a plugin you can make to do so. You could check out BuddyPress Group component and other default components by logging in http://testbp.org/ with the username and password you used here.
WP 3.0.2 Network configuration Buddypress 1.2.6 subdirectory configuration.
@mentions do not appear in the notifications menu item in the buddybar, nor is an email received by the @mentioned. @mentions can be seen by going to My Account >> Activity >> @user Mentions. Messages can be made to the activity stream and replies can be made to them, and if you should get an email notification for this reply Im not sure thats working either.
Private Messages are not sending at all even though a conformation is given after attempting to send a message.
Can anyone point me in a direction to start testing what maybe causing these problems?
Thanks, Jesse
Object caching bug most likely experienced with W3 Total Cache.
If you don’t have W3 Total Cache installed, not sure.
I haven’t made any changes to my site recently so I am at a loss as to what could have caused this…
On a member’s profile, when you click to send a private message, it loads the screen, but shows the wrong recipient.
Before I pull all my hair out, has anyone else experienced this? Or does anyone have any suggestions for likely causes of this bug?
Thanks!
if ‘User A’ is admin of two private groups (B and C)
when members request to join those groups, the notification is sent to ‘User A’ with multiple notification
the notification may look like this: “2 requests group membership”
the problem is the link of notification is just only one of two group, when click that notification, it will redirect to group admin request (B or C), and notification will gone.
brief: request is both B and C but notification link is only B or C
So, I’d like to change multiple notification to each single notification or any idea to fix above problem, please help.
Hi,
I’m using the latest version of WP and BP with WPMUDev’s BP-Community theme.
Link: cornhill.org/cornhillbeta
I accepted a friend request, but it is not showing in my list of friends and when I look at that member’s profile it is not showing her as a friend either.
Also, when I try to send a member a private message, there is an error.
Any ideas on how I fix these items?
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m also having issues with the “compose” page in IE. The ajax loader doesn’t show up. It works sometimes in firefox, but I’d like to figure out why it doesn’t work in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
hi folks,
do you know about any existing plugins which extends the private messaging system?
im looking for possibilities to send messages to all friend, all members of a certain group, and the possibility to choose multiple users by clicking checkboxes. Any hint? am i out of date, not want to use only the auto-complete functionality (which is great for single messages, but kind of annoying for massmessages).
best regards
roman
similar problem over here, autocomplete function finds valid users and shows them up, but in the following lines an error is displayed 3 times:
“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default_incajax.php:556 in mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-messages.php on line 556”
any idea?
by the way, is there a plugin which enables a better useabbility for choosing multiple user’s to send a private message to? Something like a list with checkboxes for example?
@dwenaus thank you very much for this code, it works awesome!
I’m missing one feature though, when you click “create a new thread” you can’t chose the private/hidden groups, it would be great if you could add this.
mmm… none of the above… and I’ve done some further research and discovered more clearly what the behaviour is.
To start, this is what I am looking to achieve:
– If a user is NOT a member of a hidden group then it is hidden and they do not know it exists at all.
– if a user IS a member of a hidden group then it comes up on the group widget list as visible.
– all other current behaviour stays the same i.e. public (full access) private (can be seen but not entered).
Now… what I have now found is that the group list pages do exactly what I expect, but the group widget behaves differently.
The widget does NOT show hidden groups even if you ARE a member but does show private groups that you are NOT a member of.
Also what I have seen is that if I look at another members page the group widget appears to then show their groups not mine (this might be an admin ‘feature’ though)???
So if I have a 1000 groups and a user is member of 3 I do not want to display 1000… only 3 that are relevant to them.
For my application the users will not be able to register to be part of these set of groups as they relate to where they live.
If a user browses a friends page I do not want the group widget to then show the groups relating to the friend.
So it seems that the group widget is using some diffently coded filters than the group listing pages and this (to me) is not correct and is (possibly) a bug.
I hope that is a little clearer on the nature of the issue… can be a little difficult to explain these things in a posting without loads of illustration etc to demonstrate.
cheers and thanks for your input.
Well I am looking at that plugin for a news type capability perhaps but it doesn’t address the fundamental behaviour I’m looking for… I really want the ability for hidden groups to be ‘seen’ by their members and therefore display in the group widget or for private groups to be hidden from non-members. The announcement plugin says if not admin->display in read only mode.
In essense if you have a thousand groups you wouldn’t want to present them all to non-members, but you do want to display those that you are a member of. The current group visibility behaviour (public,private,hidden) does not support this and it seems to me to be logical in many situations.
There must be a segment of code that reads… loop the groups -> if hidden and if not Admin, do not display… I just need to know where that piece of code is !!!
@matiaspunx, Usually it will list the username, unless it is a private message.
It would surely be possible if you took the code of the (function ‘show user avatar’) ‘buddypress’)), and placed it in the adminpar php file, it would show up.
I would highly recommended seeking a professional web builder, because it requires going to to the Buddypress Core Elements, and would take some expert styling on avatar size, due to dropdown menu.
@liesl1698 Are you talking about a Facebook Notification Functionality?
If yes, sorry, unless you are an expert at html code functions, that is not an option at the moment. The Notifications feature is for private messaging, and community functions. There may be a plugin in the near future.
Hi guys… new around here and getting my head around the BP code etc.
I would like to modify the behaviour of groups such that hidden groups can actually be seen by members of that group.
Basically then the behaviour of groups become Public (all can see and enter) Private (all can see but only members and Admin can enter) and Hidden (only members and Admin can see and enter).
At the moment a member cannot see a hidden group unless they are the BP Admin which isn’t really that useful to me.
Perhaps some enhanced options to change the behavior within the admin would be a neat addition to core.
Can any one point me in the right direction for adjusting this?
cheers !!!
Hi (and thank you in advance for your replies),
The ajax-loader is just not working. When I go to type in a name for a Private Message, the drop-down shows blank rows and when I select one, I get some html code placed into the “Send To” input field. The html is erased before I can copy it.
Thx!
Hi,
The reason it is happening perhaps hide_sitewide is not set to 1 for private activity. Most probably a conflict with some plugin as you already mention above. Can you check the database activity table to confirm that ?
Have you put the code
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
In wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, It will make the profile accessible if put in bp-custom.php. yes,it simply change the default profile component(landing page on profile) from activity to xprofile.
Hi,
The private updates on group should not be visible to anyone other than the profile owner. It means something is wrong, you should check other plugins.
btw, yes, you can remove the activity section from profile. put the following code in your theme’s functions.php
`
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->activity->id);
`
But this will make the profile inaccessible, as activity is set as the default profile component. so you may want to put the following code in bp-custom.php
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
hope that helps.
Is there a way to disable the activity stream for Buddypress profiles? I have private posts to group activity streams showing up in the profile and viewable by anyone, even non registered users. I’d like to disable the activity stream in the profile, but not in the group. Is there a way to do this?

Hi,
When I start typing a name in the ”Send To” field for a private message, the dropdown to select the user names appears to be a set of blank rows instead of user names and then when I select one anyhow, I get some html code filled in as the user. Is this a known bug? I have not been successful at finding a thread for this.
I am using WP 3.0.1 and the most current version of BuddyPress.
Thank you.
@djpaul The welcome private message part works. But the emails. don’t. When will 1.2.7 come out? Any alternatives in the meantime? Its strange that we cant just go in and edit the subject
