@fideldonson no problem

Backup all tables in site’s database and you’re fine. But also check if there’s a bp-custom.php file in wp-content/plugins/ in server, and back that up if there’s one.

You can remove the status update box in different ways. It just depends on whether you’re using a WordPress theme or BP Default child theme.

I came across the topic of someone asking about 123flashchat by TOPCMM and felt I should share with you what my experience is so that others don’t get caught.

Anyone considering any of TOPCMM software should spend a lot of time asking questions. I lost $1300.00 plus thousands of dollars in advertising, hardware and other software because TOPCMM was never able to make this software work right.

After only a few months of owning it, I started begging for a refund which never came. When they found my review, they said in public that they were happy to offer me a refund but in email, the keep telling me it’s not possible and that will not happen.

Support is almost nonexistent and they will make you nearly crazy with delays. No matter what ticket type you use, low priority or critical, you still will receive the same support no matter what. You might get lucky and someone will respond in a day, maybe two and often, a week. By then, you will have lost many customers and money if you are advertising as I was.

They also take countless holidays and leave you hanging during those and only sales is on staff during weekends. Their forums are useless and they never give any real answers other than ‘give us your login details and we’ll fix it’. This means you’ll never learn about your server and will always be dependent on them, just how they like it.

From what I can tell, they are on their knees after abusing countless customers and their future is unsure. Be very careful!

I could go on and on and would be happy to share more horrors if anyone is considering this software. Just PM me.

Good luck… now… on to more positive things

Ah, sorry about that. I misread your question.

This StackOverflow answer is perfect for your needs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13795283/fixed-header-while-scroll

You basically need to use Javascript to do something like this, else your shadow will always show up.

You can put that Javascript either in <script> tags in your template’s header.php or put it in a file and enqueue it in your functions.php

Basically, change #my_fixable_table_header in the javascript to your own id, which would be #header #searchbar and change the myHeader.addClass(‘fixed’) to something like myHeader.addClass(‘scroll-shadow’)

Add a class to your CSS called .scroll-shadow (which you’re now adding a class for based on your scrolling) and put your box-shadow in there. Make sure to remove it otherwise from your #header #searchbar.

You can check the answer in that link to see a working example to toy around with.

BP isn’t a forum app, you can’t have non registered users, wouldn’t bother to try hacking it to, however comment posting to blog posts or allowing anonymous topics and replies in bbPress can be allowed.

I’m afraid you’re trying to achieve something not possible, WP might allow anonymous posting of comments but BP is a membership system, you must be a member to be able to add items to something like the activity stream (otherwise it simply won’t know who to attribute data to) , and many such functions in BP are based on a logged in requirement.

On a user’s own profile page the class “my-account” is added to the body, so you can add a style to your CSS to hide it only on the profile page. E.g. if the element has the id=”agree-or-not”, then

body.my-account #agree-or-not {display: none;}

should do it.

As would have reading those guides I mentioned, but assuming you did do that, if not please do try to when you have a moment as the reason we write those guides are to attempt to provide answers to these sorts of questions, and help people understand the options they have in dealing with custom themes. 🙂

Have you checked the Codex Documentation ? I suggest you read the guides on theme templates as these will help your understanding and allow you to ask more detailed questions that we can help with.

I created the the buddypress-pages on full width and also changed the template-page in WordPress, but Buddypress is still using the standard-template. Someone knows the Problem?

I assume you mean the pages created in the setup routine for BP such as ‘activity’, ‘members’ etc these are placeholders only you can not do anything in them except set the page title.

‘<i>changed the template-page in WordPress</i>’
You need to be clearer on what you mean here!

‘<i>standard template</i>’
Again not sure to what you are referring here, BP in theme compatibility mode uses page.php, unless you provide other named templates but this is all explained in the template compatibility themeing guides written for users to help them out with just this sort of issue.

As for the loader gif it’s impossible to say, you haven’t told us the theme in use, linked to the site, or shown any code to work from thus it’s a complete guess as to what may be happening.

As always if there are issues first test is activate known good theme such as twentytwelve and see if things work in that theme then you know it’s a theme issue.

I’m also looking for this. Looks like one option is User Account Type Pro (http://rimonhabib.com/buddypress-user-account-type-pro-has-been-released/) but the information on this is sketchy, the pro site page is currently in maintenance mode and I read on another post that it is not compatible with 1.8. Also the Lite version on the WP repo has a few unanswered questions about whether this is being supported.

So that looks a bit bleak. Anyone have any other ideas?

It’s generally preferred to let the user decide whether he wants to open a link in a new window or the same window. That said, you can use jQuery to force content to open a new window to happen:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4742746/jquery-open-new-window-on-page-load

Or, you could filter the output for the fields by adding a filter to bp_get_the_profile_field_value (you’ll be adding target="_blank" to the anchor tag). Here’s an example that removes hyperlinks from the output for specific fields:

function cpfb_unlink_fields( $field_value ) { 
 
	$options = array ( //These are the ids of the fields you want to target
					12,
					14 
	)
		
	if ( in_array( bp_get_the_profile_field_id(), $options ) )
		$field_value = strip_tags( $field_value );

	return $field_value;

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'cpfb_unlink_fields', 998, 1 );

– Yes, 'nav_item_name' should be translatable if you plan to distribute the plugin. If it’s for a custom installation, it doesn’t matter.

– Yes, you can set 'enable_nav_item' (or any other config value) conditionally. I’d do your conditional logic *inside* of the constructor, to be sure that it’s loaded late enough:

function __construct() {
    $show_nav_item = (bool) plugin_is_enabled( bp_get_current_group_id() );
    $args = array(
        'enable_nav_item' => $show_nav_item,
    );
    parent::init( $args );
}

@techknowledgic This solution doesn’t work for me, but if you made some customization as I did you can try it, but I would bet that in your case it is some old plugin issue related.

Hi,
APologies for jumping into this thread, but I couldnt help as this is related to my problem.

I have two questions:
1. is the issue now fixed
2. will it be possible to embed gravity form into a tab on the member profile. we want to have an experience tab (next to profile, activity, settings) where the user can view and edit job experience.

is there a better way of doing this please?

would really appreciate any comments

cheers
