BuddyPress.org

And a bit more —
I tried using buddy press GROUPS as a way to keep content ‘private’ from one group of students to the next. This works … but WP POSTS would no longer be a way to include content and as I mentioned POSTs are a great way to be able to post content, still images, and slide shows….

Any suggestions??

Hi Paul —
Thank you very much for the rapid reply. Yes — I would like to be able to have social networking type of on functionality on multiple WordPress sites in an MS environment.

I’m trying to create a kind of social networking environment to teach small private classes (in photography) in a single install of BD on a single WP site, I couldn’t find a way to provide students taking a particular class access to a private set of POSTS in a single install of WP, hence the leap into Multisite. Posts provide a much richer way for students and teachers to share rich media than spaces like Forums.

It sounds like I can’t get ‘multiple blogs’ in BP and can’t get ‘multiple’ social networking tools — beyond Forums — in a multi-site install — RIGHT?

I do NOT one to re-locate a single buddypress install, which is what I believed you referenced above in the post about secondary blogs.

Hope this is clear —

Please give me your best advise.

THANKS!

I looked at trying to accomplish my goal in a single site and

You can also reply to their hidden content from your profile page..! Anyone have a fix? I have searched and searched! Lol.

Yes. My sister told me (she’s not a member of the private group).. so I signed in as her and I saw the posts myself. You can’t see the group from her side.. but you can see the posts in the feed on her profile even though she’s not a member of the group.

@mercime
– WP/BP versions? WP – 3.3.1 / BP – 1.5.3.1

– Are you on Windows or Linux server? Linux Server

– Have you changed to bp-default theme? Yes… I tested a few themes.

– Have you deactivated plugins except BuddyPress to isolate issue/s? I have a total of 4 Plugins active… Better RSS Widget, Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, BuddyPress, Private BuddyPress… Originally I thought it was the Private BuddyPress plugin that was causing the issue. I deactivated it and the problem continued.

Thanks for your insight.

Hi @r-a-y

I checked my bp-custom.php, which looks like this: http://pastebin.com/Tp861Dy9

And your code was already in there.However autocomplete still doesnt work.

Im using the bp-default theme.

Thanks for your help Paul and Brian… here’s my htaccess:
‘

# Server root folder www .htaccess
# This file provides server security limiting access to the localhost only.
# Comment next four lines to deactivate. (Allows external access)

Wordpress is 3.3.1, BuddyPress is 1.5.3.1 and Dynamic Widgets is 1.4.2 which is out of date (latest is 1.5) however the list of fixes doesn’t include anything that seems to be related to this problem.

TIA,
George

Has no one else encountered this problem before?

Hey Chris,

my mistake. You were right. All I had to do was paste the following into the functions.php (does not matter where):

add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_public_message_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_private_message_button’ );

Thank you again.

Hey Chris thank you for the prompt response. So I found this code:

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’ );
}
}

and added it to the bottom of my themes functions.php. I had to remove the code though because it crashed the website

I recently changed my theme, but was experiencing the same problem on my previous theme BP Columns 1.5.3. Below is what I’m currently running:

Wordpress 3.3.1

Theme:
Frisco for BuddyPress 1.5.04

Plugins:
BuddyPress 1.5.2
bbPress 2.0.2
BP-NotificationWidget 1.4
BP-Registration-Options 3.0.3
BuddyPress Moderation 0.1.6
Buddypress Sitewide activity widget 1.1.3.3
Calendar 1.3.1
Email Users 3.4.1
File Gallery 1.7.3
oEmbed for BuddyPress 0.52
U BuddyPress Forum Attachment 1.2.1
Visual Form Builder 1.9.1
WP-FB-AutoConnect 2.2.0
WP-Filebase 0.2.9.10
WP-Polls 2.62
WP Survey And Quiz Tool 2.8.3

I didn’t mean to be critical of the lack of help, I’ve just got to get this resolved. I can’t link to my site because it is private, but are you basically saying that there is no longer a link to the member directory as the basic part of bp profiles? It seems such a basic thing.

If a custom menu link is my only option, I will do that.

Would love to know, tho’, if that is a bp thing that changed in the recent upgrade?

With thanks,

Lesley
