    @mercime,

    Thank you for the support questions.

    I use the newest versions of both (WP 3.7.1 and BP 1.8.1)

    I am hosted at Hostgator, domain through GoDaddy.

    I have checked, if I deactivate BuddyPress all email work fine.

    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 ๐Ÿ™‚

    @pjbursnall yeah that code replicates the notification element only (the only part that is somewhat confusing to replicate) you place the code in the plugins directory in bp-custom.php you may have to create the file yourself.

    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9953482/how-to-make-a-pure-css-based-dropdown-menu – shows you how to create a drop down menu, https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo get the current users info so you can create links to their profile pages, etc.

    Just a note, to add the notifcations to your custom bar your code will look something like <li><?php bp_notification_badge(); ?></li>

    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 โ€œiโ€™m looking for someone the age ofโ€

    Is there a way to customize the labels for the fields on the search form?

    thanks in advanced

    i think i’ve tracked it down. there seems to be a conflict between buddypress and ‘Take Control Of The WordPress Toolbar’ plugin.

    i’ve posted a support question but it doesnt look like the author is answering support questions any more. if anyone has any idea of how i might be able to fix this it would be brilliant as i am reluctant to delete the plugin, although i expect that will be the only option in the end.

    @clanvision use the default buddypress theme and see if the error still exists, my site doesn’t have this error.

    Also, I’ve used shared hosting for a Buddypress site before, it’s fine for getting a site online and tested but beyond that it will be useless. Your site takes 4 seconds to load <!– Generated in 4.036 seconds. (294 q) –> and that’s without many concurrent users.

    This laggy slider of yours would be the last of my concerns, you need to optimize your site quite badly. (btw Buddypress is free, and so is the support if no one answers your questions, it’s because they don’t have an answer. If that’s the case it’s YOU who should do the research to fix the problem, not complain about the lack of free support)

    While 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.

    @mercime I should have added more info

    It is default behaviour when the WP static front page is set to “Register”. I actually came up with a way of doing what I needed with the help from folks over at Stack Overflow:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20039607/different-wordpress-front-page-for-logged-out-and-logged-in-users

    My final code after some minor tweaks to the accepted answer is:

    function bp_custom_front_page() {
    	if ( ! is_admin() ) {
    		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        		$page = get_page_by_title( 'Contact' );
        		update_option( 'page_on_front', $page->ID );
        		update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
    		} else {
       			$page = get_page_by_title( 'About' );
        		update_option( 'page_on_front', $page->ID );
        		update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
    		}
    	}
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'bp_custom_front_page' );

    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.

    After taking a look at how BP does it my questions 1 and 2 have been answered. Now facing a new but related problem:

    When I redirect the user back to the edit profile page to display the “Too many characaters have been entered” message – any new text the user may have entered into the input fields is lost.

    For example – the max characater limit for location is 10

    1. Location value is currently: London
    2. The user updates the location field to: London, United Kingdom
    3. The field validation kicks in – the page is refreshed with error message displayed “Too many characters”
    4. Location value reads: London

    So, you can see the illegal value the user has entered “London, United Kingdom” has been lost. My aim is to redisplay the illegal value so the user can modify it under 10 characters.

    Perhaps location isn’t the best example. Imagine if the user has written an about me paragraph which is over the character limit – on clicking submit the page refreshes and they are told they’ve entered too many characters. Their old about me text is displayed and all their new hard work has been lost.

    Hi @henrywright-1,

    A similar question was solved here: http://wpquestions.com/question/showChrono/id/3529

    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=x in my form inputs.

    Cheers for the vote of thanks to all those that plough hours of their time into providing you with free software to use, it’s most generous of you. As to the question learn a little about the software you’re using as you’ll find you won’t need to waste time asking questions on how to remove a simple piece of hardcoded markup.

    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

    I have Actually done this on my own site that I am developing. I at first Used Buddypress Facebook, Buddypress Googleplus and Buddypress Twitter and they work well enough but I wanted to be able to add some other sites as well as use my own icons. So I figured out what they did and updated it for my needs.
    Here is what I came up with. The following code will go into your themes functions.php.

    <?php
    //Social Media Icons based on the profile user info
    function member_social_extend(){
    		$dmember_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
    		$fb_info = xprofile_get_field_data('facebook', $dmember_id);
    		$google_info = xprofile_get_field_data('googleplus', $dmember_id);
    		$twitch_info = xprofile_get_field_data('twitch', $dmember_id);
    		$twitter_info = xprofile_get_field_data('twitter', $dmember_id);
    		echo '<div class="member-social">';
    		if($fb_info||$google_info||$twitch_info||$twitter_info){
    			echo 'My Social: ';
    		}
    
    		if ($fb_info) {
    		?>
    		<span class="fb-info"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/<?php echo $fb_info; ?>"  title="My Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/facebook.png" /></a></span>
    	<?php
    	}
    		?>
    		<?php
    		if ($google_info) {
    		?>
    		<span class="google-info"><a href="https://profiles.google.com/<?php echo $google_info; ?>" title="My Googleplus" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/google-plus.png" /></a></span>
    	<?php
    	}
    		?>
    		<?php
    		if ($twitch_info) {
    		?>
    		<span class="twitch-info"><a href="http://www.twitch.tv/<?php echo $twitch_info; ?>" title="My Twitch" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/twitch.png" /></a></span>
    	<?php
    	}
    		?>
    		<?php
    		if ($twitter_info) {
    		?>
    		<span class="twitter-info"><a href="https://twitter.com/<?php echo $twitter_info; ?>" title="My Twitter" target="_blank" class="twitter-follow-button""><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/twitter.png" /></a></span>
    	<?php
    	}
    	echo '</div>';
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'member_social_extend' ); ?>

    I will explain the code to you so that you can use it for more than just these 4 sites.
    First the Variables

    $dmember_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
    $fb_info = xprofile_get_field_data('facebook', $dmember_id);
    

    $dmember_id grabs the currently displayed user id.
    $fb_info gets the data that was placed the facebook text box I created in extended users profiles.
    The same goes for $google_info, $twitch_info, and $twitter_info all you need to do is change 2 simple things.
    $your_variablename_here = xprofile_get_field_data('your_textbox_field_name_here', $dmember_id);

    That textbox field name can be anything you want it to be as long as it is the same as the extended profile field name. For each different site you will need to do that line.

    echo '<div class="member-social">'; All this does is start a div with a class of member-social so you can box all the different icons in one place.

    The below code is optional but may be important if you want to prefix the icons with something.

    if($fb_info||$google_info||$twitch_info||$twitter_info){
    			echo 'My Social: ';
    		}

    This asks if any of the variables have data in them. If so then prefix the icons with “My Social: ” if not then show nothing. You will need to add your new variables each seperated with the horizontal bars as shown. So that it will show as long as any of them have one field filled in.

    if ($fb_info) {
    		?>
    		<span class="fb-info"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/<?php echo $fb_info; ?>"  title="My Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/facebook.png" /></a></span>
    	<?php
    	}
    		?>

    This asks if $fb_info has any data then show the icon.

    The Below code can differ based on your preference.
    <span class="fb-info"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/<?php echo $fb_info; ?>" title="My Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/images/facebook.png" /></a></span>
    I wrapped each icon in its own span HTML tag. Then create the link.
    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/<?php echo $fb_info; ?>" title="My Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/images/facebook.png" /></a>
    In this example I am linking to facebook.com with the $fb_info data. Here is where the preference comes in if you want them to just put their whole social profile link in the profile field then all it needs to look like is
    <a href="<?php echo $fb_info; ?>" title="My Facebook" target="_blank"><img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/images/facebook.png" /></a>
    the title=”put_hover_text_here” is what you want to show when hovering over the link the target= “_blank” makes the link open in a new tab.

    <img src="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name_here/images/facebook.png" />
    This is where you placed the image of the icon. Currently this will point to the images folder of your theme and the image name of facebook.png as long as you updated the theme name.

    <?php
    	}
    	echo '</div>';
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'member_social_extend' ); ?>

    this closes the if statement and closes the div that I made earlier. Then adds the function to the buddypress profile.

    here is an image of the results:
    social Results

    The Twitch icon I made myself but the others are free here http://icondock.com/free/vector-social-media-icons along with many more social sites. I used the 32px images.

    If you have any questions or need some extra explanation of this or want to add these social icons to the group header,or even add them to a users authorbox(this will require you to change your themes code) just PM Me or reply. I hope this helps anyone else looking to do something similar Note this will only send people to their respective social media profiles not allow them to follow or friend straight from your site.

    I was able to get this (create a link to the post author’s BP profile) to work using Boones suggestion here http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/43528/how-to-get-a-buddypress-user-profile-link-and-a-certain-user-profile-field-for-t

    To get it to work in the sidebar (running Genesis and the Content Aware Sidebar plugin) I had to use the code below to pull the author id outside the loop. I am strictly an amateur but this may be where folks are having trouble adding a link in sidebars, plugins or widgets?

    http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/39493/getting-user-id-for-the-author-meta-outside-the-loop-in-multisite

    If you are like me, and not a coder, below is the exact code I used:

    <?php
    $temp_post = get_post($post_id);
    $user_id = $temp_post->post_author;
    $author_bp_profile = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id );
    ?><a href="<?php echo $author_bp_profile;?>">View the author's profile</a>

    Hi @keiser-media @celticdancer,

    The usual answer in this case is: these notice are only notice. A kind of weather report: all hear and read about, but who cares ?

    If you see the notice on a production site, deactiveate the debug define in wp-config.

    Don’t be afraid by “strict standards” messages. It’s probably because you use PHP 5.4.x or higher. These versions are a little bugy actually. And most shared server are yet under 5.3.x

    More here

    PS: i encounter the same problem (php 5.4.12) ๐Ÿ˜€

    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.
