BuddyPress.org

Hi Modemlooper-

My theme is a child theme of Twenty Twelve, so my style.css declares Template: twentytwelve.

I followed your suggestion then took it a step farther and included slightly modified version of the js setup functions from the template pack in my `functions.php` file. I’ll post them here in case somebody else has the same problem I’m having:

`function bp_support_theme_setup() {
global $bp;

// Load the default BuddyPress AJAX functions if it isn’t explicitly disabled or if it isn’t already included in a custom theme
if ( ! function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’ ) )
require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php’ );

// Let’s tell BP that we support it!
add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
// Friends button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_public_message_button’ );

// Messages button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘messages’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_private_message_button’ );

// Group buttons
if ( bp_is_active( ‘groups’ ) ) {
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_directory_groups_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
}

// Blog button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘blogs’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_directory_blogs_actions’, ‘bp_blogs_visit_blog_button’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘bp_support_theme_setup’, 11 );

/**
* Enqueues BuddyPress JS and related AJAX functions
*
* @since 1.2
*/
function bp_support_enqueue_scripts() {

// Add words that we need to use in JS to the end of the page so they can be translated and still used.
$params = array(
‘my_favs’ => __( ‘My Favorites’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘accepted’ => __( ‘Accepted’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘rejected’ => __( ‘Rejected’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all_comments’ => __( ‘Show all comments for this thread’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all’ => __( ‘Show all’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘comments’ => __( ‘comments’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘close’ => __( ‘Close’, ‘buddypress’ )
);

// BP 1.5+
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.3’, ‘>’ ) ) {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20120412’;

$params[‘view’] = __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘mark_as_fav’] = __( ‘Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘remove_fav’] = __( ‘Remove Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
// BP 1.2.x
else {
$version = ‘20110729’;

if ( bp_displayed_user_id() )
$params[‘mention_explain’] = sprintf( __( “%s is a unique identifier for %s that you can type into any message on this site. %s will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.”, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘@’ . bp_get_displayed_user_username(), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ) );
}

// Enqueue the global JS – Ajax will not work without it
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

// Localize the JS strings
wp_localize_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘BP_DTheme’, $params );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_support_enqueue_scripts’ );
`

Which is identical to installing the template pack only for the JS, I think. Everything’s working as expected, so I think we can consider this problem resolved. Thanks for your attention, Hugo and Modemlooper.

@timvango I’m sorry, I don’t understand. which private message feature? Are you sure it actually sends messages to people you can’t normally? if you can’t, it just won’t send.

Alright, no suggestions. I sure am not having any luck getting feedback in these forums.

Plan B would be to get quotes from some reputable WP development companies to build something custom, as I don’t know that I can build it myself. Can anyone point me to some of the more recommended developers in the community? If it’s against the forum policies to reply publicly with suggestions just send them to me privately please – multiple suggestions are preferred.

@henrywright-1 Thank you very much, I used the below code and it worked like a charm. Your hint worked for me 🙂

Don’t know why the code is not shwoing here

I’m sorry I really don’t understand coding, however I am grateful for the solution you have provided. I will try to find a way to use this.

Thank you very much 🙂

Hi
I certainly did not go through all the details, though in another installation the link was working.
After going through the steps, I edited some settings under “B. Set Up Group and Sitewide Forums” and now the group forum is now active. I learned quite a number of new things about forums/group forums.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards

I’m aware that, in the past, there used to be two admin bars: the WPAdmin bar shown to logged-in users and the Buddybar shown to all users, including a log-in/register link for new users.

I believe I understood that the BuddyBar was being deprecated. Does that mean non-logged in users will see BuddyPress options on the main WP-Admin bar? (I am developing with a private site, so cannot see the options.)

I’m looking for documentation that might help us understand the change.

I am using Responsive theme, but have looked in source code and no longer see both bars.

Hello @djpaul ,

I see there is a ‘Send a Reply’ box bebeath every message received and the receiver can easily type a reply here and send it. To send a reply the receiver do not need to visit ‘/messages/compose/’ which I have restricted using S2member plugin.

I have successfully achieved the solution. I have kept composing messages for myself (admin) only. All my users can reply back to me and cannot message each other.

The problem that I’m facing is a little strange, the receiver does successfully reply to my message and I do receive the reply however as soon as this happens the user finds himself logged out!

NOTE : Only a user (subscriber) other than admin logs out while replying. When I use the same box to reply to a message I do not log out!!!

Any thoughts?

Thanks
