@mercime: Thanks… change set 3654 https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3654 looks interesting.

This is a major and awesome step in the right direction. Especially adopting the buddypress extension APIs. Excellent work !!! Now I need to figure what is needed to check it out.

3654 looks like it supports multiple forums per group. It looks like it also supports shared forums across groups.

I didn’t see anything to define a ‘preset’ list of forums on enable or group create.

Being able to define forums private to groups so they can’t be shared would be very useful, at least to remove clutter when you have many groups with 3-4 forums each.

It looks like forums can be part of categories (as a parent).

digging into the error log scared me

I replicated the bug, and these are the last few lines from the error log:

@marcime:

Thank you for your quick response.

I not pretty sure wheter you got me right in the first place. It is not about an additional Group Setting but about a general restriction. For my page I don’t want my members to set up private or hidden groups at all.

Every group should be public.

@ all:

Maybe I can amend the source code. Does anybody know how?

Thank you in advance and kind regards,

Pasen

Is there anyway to stop blog post from showing up in ACTIVITY?
I did awhile ago but forgot what I did.
All the PRIVATE COMMUNITY add ons stink.

Okay, I had somebody who didn’t have access to the private groups reply back that he was only seeing the appropriate content.

Sorry. Got a bit freaked.

@mercime

I managed to fix the issue with the sidebar. I just had to move the call function for the sidebar outside the div tag and it seems to work now..

Still trying to figure out what I need to do to change the CSS and only effect the buddypress part of the template though..

@mercime Thanks again for the help!

It’s looking tonnes better now.

There is one issue that the widgets are still showing up in the main content instead of in the right sidebar – http://progressivetalks.com/activity

is there something else I need to edit to get this working? I have the widget logic plugin so I can specify where I want widgets (there are some specific widgets I want in buddypress) but I must still need to define this sidebar in the buddypress pages or?

Also, just in terms of the final step of styling.. Just to clarify, I should copy the code supplied in the template tutorial and then modify that? I need to learn CSS so I am going through it, but is this the step where I can copy some of the styling over from Frisco?

Would it be a matter of just getting the styling from Frisco and copying into my style.css?

Perhaps this column gets updated when I mark the sender as a spammer? Which I did do in this case. This perhaps would prevent private messages from being seen by the recipient.

@mercime Ive copied across loop, loop-page, loop-home and single

Im not sure how much this impacts upon the buddypress format, but I am in the process of trying to get rid of the comments form out of these templates (loop, loop-page) as it is really ugly and I would prefer users commenting with Facebook, etc… still not 100% sure how i will do it, but reading up

thanks again.

Here are the 6 files @mercime including sidebar-footer.php. Thanks again for your help. Appreciate the tips. Its the header and footer that have gotten me quite lost…

The other thing I was wondering.. is it possible to change the look of buddypress within the template.. For example, at the moment it looks like it takes its styling from the default bp template, but if I wanted to change it to reflect something closer to the Frisco for Buddypress theme, but instead Red, Black and White to suit my website, how would I go about this?

Would it be a matter of copying the files from the new template over the default template files and then using a css sheet to redefine some values?

Thanks again! Cant say how much I appreciate it!

@mercime I have gotten pretty far now

you can see the site at = progressivetalks.com

Im still having some issues getting the template to work though.. particularly I’m not sure how to define the right widget or in other words, decrease the width of the buddy press window

see here for the buddypress component – http://progressivetalks.com/members/

any possible suggestions?

Thanks again for your assistance!

@mercime Thanks again for your help.

I tried this previously with another colorlabs template and it simply displayed =0 when I tried loading the page, however, using a different template now, it seems to work.. I just need to try and adjust the files to make it look a bit better.

you can see what I have done here – http://www.jakewhitehead.com/socialbp/

Just hoping this will do what I want.

Can you hide some of these menus so only logged in users see them?
