Topic: How to get notifications about new topics

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi,

This might be a simple task, but I can’t seem to figure out how to set it up. I’ve setup BuddyPress on my site to allow users ask technical questions. I do not require users to register in order to post a topic. Every time someone adds a new topic or adds comment to the existing topic. I need to get notification so that I know to reply. Is there a setting where I can specify to email me notifications about each change in the forum?

You’re going to need to get some basic skills especially in the PHP area if working with WP/BP as ther is a need quite often for running up functions – in terms of files to hold that WP provides only one really in themes functions.php, BP provides bp-custom.php that can initiate functions for BP regardless of theme in use.

For the nav question do a quick search for ‘wp nav menu’ you’ll find previous threads, and also make use of the codex to see if any questions are covered there.

Peace.

@dmd54 I can understand your frustration with a problematic installation and know that you want help asap. Remember though all who help out in the forums are volunteers from all over the world with different ways of responding to questions posted here. What’s kosher for some may be impudent to others. Moving on…

i have the register page set to my sign up page but nothing appears.

– You mean you created a blank page with title/slug for registration, and then assigned that page to Registration in Settings > BuddyPress > Pages, right?
– What do you mean when you say nothing appears? Is it white screen in front and no source view or do you just see the title Register (or slug you chose) and no registration forms below?
– Are you on MAMP, WAMP, or XAMPP?
– Are you using a custom theme or have you tried using Twenty Twelve theme or the BP Default theme?
– Yes Register page and Activate page are separate because each page has a different function.

Topic: Problem transferring (does BP have a new db system?)

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Participant

I’m building a Buddypress installation from scratch to replace my community’s old one, which has been a train wreck. I installed Buddypress, noticed no installation steps needed taken, and no tables were added to the database. However, I can post on the streams and store all other info.

So this leaves me with three questions I hope you guys can help with:
1. Where’s the BP data being stored?
2. How can I transfer the users’ activity, blog posts, et al?
3. Should I just tell my friends “Tough poopy, I guess we have to start all over”?

Thanks

Topic: Can't Get Forum Pages to Show Up In Menu

Hi guys…well, I installed Buddy Press AND BBpress and I am trying to set up my forum pages. I have set up a single forum and no matter how I try, I can’t get the “Forum” to show up in my menu. I have tried creating a menu item that points to the actual “forum” itself, but it returns with “page not found”. You can see the site at http://www.ldjautobody.com/tempsite.

I know this is just me being “brain dead” at the moment, but could someone please help me out with configuring the “BuddyPress” part of this? I’d really appreciate it.

I have some other questions too, but I will save those for later as they have to do with keeping out people who insist on creating pages that are TOTALLY unrelated to our site…LOL and I’m sure that you guys deal with THAT problem on a daily basis! Once I get the site up and running I will no doubt have questions regarding that little problem. Just to give you a good laugh this fine Sunday morning…I had 12 new groups created last night…all written in Polish and ALL of them related to website design, SEO and other fun topics that have nothing to do with cars! But, that is for a later post. Right now…I just need to get this thing running!

Thanks for any help!

Topic: Big Upgrade (1.1.1 to 1.7.2)

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Michael
Participant

Hey All;

Let me preface by saying I am new to Buddypress. I have been asked to upgrade an old 1.1.1 install of BuddyPress to 1.7.2. I have been successful for the most part, but I am having one issue that I can’t seem to resolve.

I am running WordPress 3.5.1 and I have BuddyPress 1.7.2 installed.

I am running WordPress inside of a subdirectory on a domain (although my test environment is a subdomain)

Everything worked fine prior to the upgrade and I have no BuddyPress plugins outside the core install.

I am using a customized theme and nothing in core has been modified in any way.

My test environment is Linux. The production server is Windows. This isn’t something I am able to change.

I can answer the other questions, but I am not sure if they are relevant.

Prior to the upgade, I had the main site at:

http://www.domain.com/wordpress

The blog lives at:

http://www.domain.com/wordpress/blog

During the v1.1.1 days, the /wordpress/blog path worked fine. After the upgrade to 1.7.2, it is broken. It gives me a “page not found” error. I have everything else about BuddyPress working. If I go to specific posts in my blog (/wordpress/blog/10/20/2013/blah-title) they work fine, it is the main page/most recent post that does not work.

Be gentle with me as I am new and I apologize if I am re-asking a previously answered question (I did a search but didn’t find anything). I appreciate your help.

Thanks;
Michael

@bp-help

You so seriously ROCK!

One question though, how do I mod that content (guessing in the wp_nav_menu_items) to tell it exactly which menu or sub menu I want this to display in? This code makes “My Profile” show up on all of my menus (there’s the top of page one, the one under my masthead and the one at the bottom of the page in the footer). Having footer duplicated is great, but having it duplicated in the two top menu’s together looks really bad lol.

I’d like to begin to seriously understand this code, so please if you can tell me what part of it needs modding and how, so that I can begin to understand and have to ask fewer questions later on, that would be spiffy!

Again, thanks this was wonderful I’m so excited 🙂

Topic: Profile Fields not displaying

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

I tried to get this question answered and have tried to be very patient, however, it has been about three weeks since anyone responded. I was asked numerous questions, responded to all of them, and still have heard nothing. After about 5 days of not hearing from you, I tried to inquire about a response, but, still, no one replied. I apologize for starting a new thread for the same topic, however, I feel like somehow my post got lost in the pile and no one was acknowledging the current thread I had started. You can refer to

http://buddypress.org/support/topic/missing-profile-fields/

But to reiterate,

I am having issues with some of my profile fields showing up in my user profiles. I created a few test profiles (with far fewer characters than our actual profiles), and all of the fields showed up fine. When we tried to create legitimate profiles, with user information that was far more substantial, a few of the profile fields are not showing up. These profiles were created in the exact same way.

My questions was, is there a limit on the number of characters per profile? I’m trying to figure out why fields are not showing up (additionally, these are the final three fields in the user form). Can anyone please help?

In reply to: Privacy in BuddyPress

bp-help

@janogu
BuddyPress now has profile privacy built in for individual field visibility. BuddyPress Activity Privacy plugin is great at controlling who see’s individual activity posts. https://github.com/bphelp/private_community_for_bp does a decent job of locking down BP pages for logged out visitors. BuddyMobile is great for providing users of mobile devices an app like version of BP. So in conclusion I would say BP privacy has come along way since 2010. It would be nice if more of those features were built into the core in future versions but I am not sure that it would be something the core team would undertake at this point in development. The plugins I mentioned are in the repository with the exception of Private Community For BP in which I provided the GitHub link. Hope this answers your questions. Cheers!

I need multi-site, multi-network buddypress and wordpress. SINGLE signin point of entery and then multi private networks. Some networks may have top level domain and some maybe “behind” a website hosted on wordpress.

Is this a possible layout?

Topic: Extending WP plugin for BP? (RSS)

in forum Creating & Extending

akukskuks
Participant

I’m relatively new to BP, and to PHP. Been trying to hunt down an RSS feed importer for my site but haven’t had much luck. Here’s why:

1) Needs to aggregate and import a number of RSS feeds onto a unique group page (“News”) as opposed to posting directly to the group activity feed…

2)…except that I do want ONE distinct RSS to be fed onto each group activity feed. The content of this feed will be emails that users send off to a distinct email address whose sole purpose is to post those emails (and attachments maybe??) to the group activity.

Unfortunately (fortunately?), I’ve found an almost PERFECT plugin…but it’s for WP only! I’ve noticed that some of the other “WP only” plugins I’ve tried on BP have actually worked (“Spreadsheet,” for example) but can’t test to see if “WP RSS Multi Importer” works on BP as we’re still on a development server with no access to the outside world.

http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rss-multi-importer/

QUESTIONS:
1) Is anyone willing to see if “WP RSS Multi Importer” works on BP?? I doubt it, but still.
2) If it doesn’t work, what can I do to adapt it for BP? Is it realistic for me to hire a programmer to do this migration, or is that in bad form/impossible? I’ve already asked the author if he’d be willing to work on this but he’d rather focus on other aspects of perfecting the plugin first (exporting RSS). Not sure of the protocol here…just figured it’d be easier to do this than start a new plugin from scratch.

TIY!

the problem is that the capabilities do not actually exist like they do for bbpress and wordpress maybe you should try to ask your questions after the next devchat. @jjj mentioned that they do want to add them at some point in the future perhaps you can pitch in if you are eager to make it happen.

I am new to Buddypress and notice the Conditional Tags are different from WP. At this time, I have only used the (bp_is_current_component( ‘members’ )) tag.

My question is, when I am in pages like /members/Admin/activity/24/ the members tag doesn’t work. After looking at the conditional tags, I have no idea which to use while in pages like this.

I saw the conditional tags page for BP but am stumped on which to use.

Any insight would be appreciated!

ebraxton30

Thank you for responding.

I answered the version of Buddypress when you directed me to respond to all of the questions after my initial inquiry.

I did troubleshoot in Twenty Twelve as well as the BP Default theme and still am experiencing the same issues.
The reason I did not consider this to be an issue with the plugins and perhaps a question of character max level, is because I have created several test profiles and am not experiencing this problem. These profiles were created in the same exact way as the true NEW user profiles. That is what I meant by “test profiles.” So…I will ask again…

Is it possible that there is a limit on the number of characters available in a profile? Or, is there some sort of pagination option? I would provide the URL but it is an intranet site for and I do not want to include it here. Could I possibly send you a personal message?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

I’m using the latest version of BuddyPress for a brand new community I’m launching. I want to have a free and a paid version. The paid version will have a lot more features than the free version and will also be ad free.

My questions:

1 – Is there anywhere I can find a list of all the possible user functions for buddy press?
2 – Can anyone recommend any cool plugins to add more value to the paid membership user experience?
3 – Has anyone done anything similar? Or do they know of any example communities I can check out?

Thanks in advance, Im very new to all this but with the help of the forum Im learning (slowly!)
