BuddyPress.org

here’s a untested function. Would perhaps output the member name and the Class he belongs

function bpfr_member_class($myinfo) {
global $bp;

$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();

$membername = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Name’, $user_id );
$data = xprofile_get_field_data( ‘Class’, $user_id );

if( $data )
$myinfo = ‘<div class=”myinfo”>’. $membername.’ CLASS: ‘. $data .'</div>’;

return $myinfo;
}

I’m a newbie to php (me also) – this is not an excuse especially when you’re going to code on the fly without reading documentation and forum topics.

What you doing wrong 😉
– You’re coding directly into your theme
– You don’t read the answers you receive and you don’t answer the questions.

Depends on if it requires a little wordpress and bp customization but you can try here:

BP Jobs Board

Just remember BP is a wordpress plugin and it requires wordpress to work. Good luck!

Be specific in what your requirements are. List your budget, and as much info you can.

http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/75261/how-to-when-a-bp-group-created-automatically-create-a-wp-category

Check this out. It MAY be of some help to you. It certainlyy was useful to me. Works in wp 3.5.1 bp 1.6,or bp 1.7

Please follow the discussion into the chat – It does work flawlessly – just at the time i was slow on the uptake!

Wow thanks @karmatosed this sounds really cool.

@mehrwash this is almost a 4 year old thread and no longer relevant. Please ask questions in a new topic.

@praveshraheja Please don’t open 2 year old threads and ask unrelated questions in them. Start new threads for your issues, and you have threads running so please avoid multiple postings of issues.
Closing this thread.

@boiy You may ask, but please start a new thread for new questions.

Thanks @chouf1

@jrgiblette : @bphelp has posted a link to a plugin. Please create a new topic should you have any questions.

Closing this topic.

Think maybe you ought to address questions about the bbPress plugin to the bbpress forums, you’ll likely get a more informed response there.

@djpaul @bphelp per @dimensionmedia there will be Live Stream of BuddyCamp Miami and it will be free http://2013.miami.wordcamp.org/2013/03/25/buddycamp-miami-live-stream/ 🙂

Submit questions to be asked at BCMiami to the panel of BuddyPress Pros by posting at http://davidbisset.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8f9242549d66d09eceb714b54&id=0f9fa5756d

@ozgurpolat Thank you for your feedback. I understand where you’re coming from. But comparing Perlmonks and BuddyPress forums is like comparing Apples and Oranges.

Perlmonks, which supports a Programming Language, has been there for around 20 years while BuddyPress Forums, which supports one WordPress plugin, is going on 4+ years. Not that that’s any excuse, but you can see that the awesome folks at Perlmonks have a 15-year headstart and more people power than BuddyPress forum volunteers 🙂

As for some questions not being answered in our forums, I will use the link posted by Perlmonk’s sages http://perl.plover.com/Questions.html

@Chouf1 for someone who is upset I’m complaining – all you really did is complain that I was complaining. I didn’t give any details, because mine were the same as the OP’s. In addition, I was talking about a base install – and the groups/forums issue is the same no matter what the theme.

I have since found a few tidbits of information that were helpful.

1. BP ver 1.7 does away with group forums
2. BP ver 1.7 is in beta 2 and almost ready for release
3. moving forward forums should be integrated using bbpress (which you have to install separately)
4. you only get the “create” a group button from the master root /user-groups BP URL
5. profile BP links like /members/username/groups are different than the master root pages
6. to manage a group after creation before BP 1.7 you have to actually visit the groups page in question (/user-groups/groupname) and the click “admin” to make changes – there is no master groups editing page
7. in BP 1.7 there is actually a new “groups” section in the wp-admin sidebar where you can (for the first time) have group management capabilities on the backend (edit / delete)

I stick by the fact that there is very little documentation on how to use BuddyPress after first install. I have been using WordPress since 2004 and have created and hacked hundreds of plugins and themes. I have written thousands of blog posts and articles / tutorials on WordPress. From that background, having installed BuddyPress I can quite easily say that it’s not intuitive to use, it’s difficult to figure out the integration points, and many things that should be easy are just plain hard.

WordPress is the #1 CMS in the world because of the low technical point of entry. It’s intuitive, easy to use, easy to install, well documented, and quite easy to hack. It’s usage has eclipsed both Joomla and Drupal because they are not. I think many people think BuddyPress will be as easy to install and use as WordPress itself, and it’s just not (yet).

I’m definitely figuring out where everything is, and how to get going after first install. I didn’t find much here in these forums or the Codex in that overall regard. Even external blog tutorials are a little sparse on the subject – most information you find is just severely dated.

Am I willing to contribute to the documentation? Certainly. I’m in the process of writing up my findings now – but I was looking for answers first…and all I was finding were others with similar unanswered questions.

No, changing the theme will only change the design, not the content.

Just so I know if I should do this now or wait until no one is coming to the site…

This depends off your own philosophy i guess.
Some solve problems when they occur
Other wait to have many problems, so they can say “i have soooo much problems, pls HEEEEELP !”.
And other close their eyes and say: ” Who is the problem ?” 🙂

You can also read this forum. There are many questions like yours with many answers.
