Topic: Categorise groups by city?
I would like to categorise my groups by city. I tried BP Groups Heirarchy plugin to create a parent group for the cities. This is great but clicking on a parent group link takes me to that group (which will always be empty) – i want it to link to a page of all the child groups.
Is there another way to do this, maybe using custom fields?
Thanks.
ps. I’m new to BuddyPress, so please accept that some of my questions might seem stupid ๐
Hello
I am preparing a site for a small research network, and I hope it is OK if I ask here about my questions about BuddyPress. I need a solution for 100+ members with individual presentation pages, access to forums, and limited posting rights+collaborative edit-rights to certain pages? Will BuddyPress fit these needs?
I am especially uncertain about whether the member profiles can be made public and listable/linkable on the site, and furthermore if there is away to give them edit-rights to certain pages (specifically a biliography page).
hello!
i’m using buddypress and the buddypress profile search plugin, i really like it, but the only thing i really dont know is how to change the field label of the questions in the search form.
e.g.
how old are you? โ are not consistent to how they would be searched โiโm looking for someone the age ofโIs there a way to customize the labels for the fields on the search form?
thanks in advanced
benWhile working on my own site, I noticed that the activity and members pages have a nice (jquery?) transition effect that crossfades the activity stream (or member list) whenever a new nav item is selected. This has the desirable effect of making the site feel solid and smooth. The transition is accompanied by a spinning icon on the active tab, which lets me know that something is happening in the background and that the page will refresh presently.
I thought perhaps that this transition was caused by something my own theme was doing (StudioPress Genesis Minimum Pro), but crossing over to the BuddyPress Default Theme on a separate installation of WordPress, I observed the same thing. It appears, then, that this is a BuddyPress function, and a very nice one, at that.
So far, so good. My second observation, though, is that this effect is not consistent across BuddyPress. On the Activity and Members pages, the transitions are as described above. But on the Home page, the transitions appear to be unmanaged. They are sudden and have the feeling of being more ragged, and there is no spinning icon, either. This behavior is consistent across both of the themes I tested.
Questions:
1. Am I seeing things that aren’t there, not seeing things that are there (or otherwise being too fussy)?
2. If I am not seeing things, is this behavior an artifact of my own installation(s) or is it an issue with BuddyPress? I am using BP 1.8.1 with WP 3.6.1. My browser is the latest version of Chrome on OSX Mountain Lion and I made my observations on MAMP development sites (although my live site seems to behave the same way).
3. If this is a real issue and not just an artifact of my installation, is there a way to extend the smooth transitions to the home page?Your thoughts on any or all of these questions will be very much appreciated.

Hi there,
Very new to BP so I apologize for the newbie questions. Client would like to be able to upload documents into specific folders that the users can create. How would this be accomplished? Or CAN it be easily accomplished?Thanks in advance.

I am trying to limit the length of 2 xProfile fields (location {field id 2) and about {field id 3})
This is what I have come up with so far for location.
function custom_validate_xprofile_location( $data ) { global $bp; $max_location_length = 56; if ( 2 == $data->field_id ) { if ( strlen( $data->value ) > $max_location_length ) { bp_core_add_message( 'Too many characters old chap. Please try again', 'error' ); wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain . 'profile/edit/group/1/' ); exit(); } } return $data; } add_action( 'xprofile_data_before_save', 'custom_validate_xprofile_location' );2 questions:
1. Is this the best way of doing it?
2. How do I factor in limiting the length of the about field as well? I think this bit is harder than it looks.Note: I’ve also got
maxlength=xin my form inputs.I’m building a membership site.
/** I have a question **/
Those who qualify to become members (after paying a subscription) will have access to pages containing data on the other members (this data will be collecting during the mambership application) with different pages containing members details of different categories. Members will have a basic listing and can buy into further exposure: private pages, video and pdf brochure downloads. I need some way of representing these additional pages etc
/** My Questions **/
Can BuddyPress achieve the above out of the box ? or with some tweeks ?
My other option is customised pages that ”GET’ the member’s details
I plan to use WooCommerce Subscriptions to manage payments and the privatisation of content.
Thanks
TimTopic: Building a theme
I’m building a theme from scratch and hoping to release it on ThemeForest or for personal use only.
I really want to build something that matches my semi-extensive experience of WordPress and BuddyPress and have tried before.
The trouble is I always seem to build something that has support for all the features including BBPress and end up becoming overwhelmed with all the code in the theme and design assets available.
Typically I start in Photoshop, which is what I plan to do this time and cater for all the design assets.
Then I like to go in and convert the psd files into static html templates (which is a pain as BuddyPress has tons of hard baked markup).
Finally it gets ported over to a theme, usually a child theme, however with all the design assets catered for I feel it’s not essential.
My questions are…
How many templates are there with a WordPress / BBPress and BuddyPress installed? If so, is there a list available.
Secondly, what’s a good way to organise the project so that I don’t become to overwhelmed with all the pages and code within?
This is more like build phylosophy than anything else but didn’t know where to publish.
Thanks for any help and understanding.
