BuddyPress.org

Thanks!

When I was first attempting to make something like this, I spent a couple months trying to write it by hand. Then I discovered BuddyPress and realized most of what I wanted had been done already (and probably better than I ever could’ve done by myself), enabling me to spend more time focusing on the important things instead of building out core features. I’m still not entirely satisfied, but I’m getting there.

If you guys find any errors or encounter any problems, let me know.
Likewise, if you have any questions, I’m all ears.

My problem similar

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-forums-page-within-buddypress

they advise
“well they don’t work well together so you need to hack it together”
“All I had to do was add [bbp-forum-index] in the proper page and there you have it.”

But what it is? where add the code? On what page? in what place?
sorry for my stupid questions.

Here’s what my developer came up with, though I sure would prefer this solution in the long term: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. I can’t understand why anyone would be OK with their birthdate publicly displayed. Anyway it’s a hack, but it works…

She put it in the CSS file, and you have to know the numeric field IDs. Scroll to the end of the themes/[your theme, in my case, Tachyon from Rocketthemes]/css/template.css file and adjust the following code:

.controlwidget {display: inline-block; float: left;margin-left: 1px;}
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_3, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_3 * { display: none !important; }
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_2, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_2 * { display: none !important; }
html body table.profile-fields tr.field_15, html body table.profile-fields tr.field_15 * { display: none !important; }

Hi yadigit

Many thanks for your reply.
I’m afraid I do not know the Avatar upload is controlled.
I have no special plugins.
The 2 plugins I use are BuddyPress template pack and bbpress plugin.
The avatar control is probably through those (except WordPress always has had avatar control so possibly it is inbuilt from my WP theme?).
I don’t know exactly as I am so new to BuddyPress!-sorry…

I am more concerned still about my BP site functionality and have several questions on that eg
1.How do I create a forum topic?

2. Why is settings>general returning a blank browser page?

In short how do I use BuddyPress and what can I do with it on my site given that I mainly want to use it as a forum?

I am grateful for more helpful replies, comments and feedback-thanks

Actually, I did. She was wondering if there were more obvious solutions than what she could think of. Though she mentioned that the listed solution only works if you don’t ever have a different field name.

Attached is a screenshot of what I really was hoping BuddyPress would have, a standard Ning feature, which allows you to select ‘private’, so the answer will only be visible to you and other administrators: http://csplacemaking.com/images/profile-questions.png. This is the ideal solution.

re: buddystream – brilliant, that should enable members of a BuddyPress use a phone to update stuff.

Many thanks Chris for your fulsome and prompt answer to my questions.

Got it all working now. on the 404 error, I just used a 301 redirect:
`
<?php
header(“Status: 301 Moved Permanently”) ;
header(“Location:http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/&#8221; ) ;
?>
`

This works better, if the 404 comes up, it redirects to the homepage… not bad for a starter – all in one day

Thanks you all for your answers, I’ll come up with workaround. As mentioned, I know Linux is much better for WEB SERVERS, but like I said, I have .aspx pages that I’d rather not want to play around with.

Thank you all for you replies. I have posted this issue on WordPress before when I was using pageline theme, but nobody replied on WordPress.

@Chris, that is exactly what I am looking for, I’m not too fimiliar with coding and currently learning, it will be a big help if I know which codes to remove. I’m basically trying to get rid of all the unecessary things on my site to increase performance. I know wordpress runs better on Linux, but I cannot change to Linux since I have another website that are recieving good traffic, and that website contains aspx pages.

ok, I managed to sort out number 2, just 1 and 3 remaining

Thanks for the reply @mercime.

1. I don’t have any groups registered, I just wanted to know if the functionality can be removed completely.

3. http://www.sweepbook.com is my main site, wordpress/buddypress is installed in a subdirectory, http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/. If I use the WordPress twentyeleven them, the logos redirect correctly to http://www.sweepbook.com/rate-this/.

I found this script at, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/15444/is-there-an-easy-way-to-move-the-wp-admin-bar-to-my-own-location

I’ve tried to implement it though I’m not having much luck. Should I be changing anything within which would allow buddypress to use it?

function wpse15444_wp_print_scripts()
{
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
wp_enqueue_script( ‘wpse-15444’, plugins_url( ‘wpse-15444.js’, __FILE__ ), array( ‘jquery’ ), false, true );
}
}

// wpse-15444.js
jQuery( window ).load( function() {
jQuery( ‘#wpadminbar’ ).appendTo( jQuery( ‘#wpse15444-admin-bar-container’ ) );
} );

The custom Functions I added area as follows: (When I delete the bp-custom.php everything works fine again)

// Setups up Type=Full avatar pics for BP-post author
function bp_custompost_author_avatar() {
global $post;

if ( function_exists(‘bp_core_fetch_avatar’) ) {
echo apply_filters( ‘bp_post_author_avatar’, bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $post->post_author, ‘type’ => ‘full’, ‘width’ => ’70’, ‘height’ => ’70’ ) ) );
} else if ( function_exists(‘get_avatar’) ) {
get_avatar();
}
}

// Changes order for member profile menu items
function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
$bp->bp_nav = 50;
$bp->bp_nav = 60;
$bp->bp_nav = 70;
$bp->bp_nav = 80;

$bp->bp_nav = false;
$bp->bp_nav = false;

}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );*/

// Setup the navigation
// Props to http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/16223/add-buddypress-profile-menu-item for helping me figure this out
// and http://themekraft.com/customize-profile-and-group-menus-in-buddypress/
function my_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘my adventure list’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘my-adventure-list’,
‘position’ => 10,
‘screen_function’ => ‘my_adventure_list_link’,
‘show_for_displayed_user’ => true,
‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘my-adventure-list’,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘my-adventure-list’
) );
}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_setup_nav’, 1000 );

function my_adventure_list_title() {
echo ‘My Adventure List’;
}

function my_adventure_list_content() {
?>

<?php
}

function my_adventure_list_link () {
add_action( ‘bp_template_title’, ‘my_adventure_list_title’ );
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘my_adventure_list_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/my-adventure-list’ ) );
}

?>

i have installed that. will that be able to limit the free users so they do not see the biz-buzzers questions?

Also, with that plugin will I be able to add a paid member if they chose to pay offline?

Thanks Chris, I think I got it.
Put it in a small plugin file.

Thanks for the replt Chris.
I’m quite new to all this and I’m not sure if I am meant to replace code with the code in your link or add it somewhere?

Any help would be appreciated
