Yes, check out this page:

https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-flags

It’s a script that’s suppose to do what I suggest (and they even have all the flag graphics in different sizes in the link) but I couldn’t activate the plugin on my site – I think you need to have this Questions2Answers thing installed…

In reply to: Sitewide forums -> group forums in future?

Paul Wong-Gibbs

This is a bbPress question.

There is a bug (or, perhaps more accurately, a missing feature) in the bbPress migration tool; it doesn’t properly keep track of what group the posts came from. If you did it today, it looks as though it works, but it doesn’t let you post new topics or reply. I’m not familiar with the roadmap for bbPress.

I don’t know enough to answer all your questions, but I believe a goal is for Groups to eventually support multiple forums, but that time isn’t now.

We’re using Elegant Themes (Chameleon) to run our membership website. The following are questions we have. I’m not sure if all of these are buddy press related, or if we should contact elegant themes for some of them.

Thanks for your help!

• Can we assign specific widgets to specific pages?
• How do we create the Lost Password URI for the BBpress login widget in the footer?
• How do we list all forums on the forums page? [We’ve created a forum, but nothing is showing up on the forums page in the navigation.] How do we make sure only members see the forums?
• How do we enable the registration on the register page? [The register page is blank right now.] (Can we limit who can register with a code?)

Topic: Temporarily blocking a user, while keeping their data/network

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Dan O'Keefe
Participant

I searched for a good while, but did not find this exact problem, or at least any method of solution so far. More questions seem to be about blocking spam signups, which is not an issue for us, as we dole out our logins upon request:)

I run a school site. In order for it to run well, we need to be able to block students who have been inappropriate, etc.. We do NOT, however, want to delete their profile, stream, follows, friends, etc.., since this would be super punitive. Right now though, neither the Capabilities Manager plugin nor the Admin “block spammer” option works for us. The CM actually doesn’t seem to do anything, and the “block spammer” removes all important traces of the user. From their perspective, it’s basically a delete and then a new account.

Is there a solution for this? This is huge for our site, and for anyone with students who must be allowed to fail and then try again, without dire consequences. thanks all for looking at this, and thx for all work on BP so far.

Asynaptic,

We should set up something more formal then, perhaps you can put his contact information on here and anyone who comes across this post in the future can contact him.

In the meantime, I think the best solution is as follows:

1. Use a standard wordpress SEO plugin to modify the individual page SEO meta data.
2. Install group forums.
3. Utilize bbPress plugins and features for SEO.

Then push the community to participate in group forum discussions for important questions and answers. It will allow more flexibility in posts anyways.

I am at a loss as to how I generated 11,900 empty groups pages, but when I goto the Groups Pages in the dashboard, they they are. My first questions is how do a bulk delete them? The second is, what may have caused this. Thanks for any help.

Guys, this really is outside the scope of this forum as it pertains to a third party plugin. Someone may or may not answer these types of support requests. This support forum is for answering questions like “how do I set up the BuddyPress Pages”.

s2member uses WordPress Roles and Capabilities: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

Learn about how that works and then you can wrap any code you want hidden by s2member. Specificly user levels/roles. Google it

There was a free plugin but it has not been updated for some time https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/import-from-ning/ There have been many changes to BP since the plugin was released though.

There’s a premium plugin http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/ning-to-buddypress-user-importer/
which states it’s compatible with latest version. There’s a link to contact them on same page for any pre-sales questions.

You should ask these as separate questions – the first two issues are general WordPress (not BuddyPress), so best asked on the wordpress.org forums.

Post issue 3 as sep question on here, and issue 4 you could ask to @pollyplummer on her group for the plugin

in forum Creating & Extending

newbie2011

Ok, for about three days I have been pulling my hair out. I have been working on locking out users from wp-admin, creating a generic login-page(not the wp standard), custom members homepage, and adding links to the bp sliding login panel.

Issue One:

In the finctions.php I put the following code:
`add_action(‘admin_init’, ‘no_mo_dashboard’);
function no_mo_dashboard()
{ if (!current_user_can(‘manage_options’) && $_SERVER != ‘/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php’) { wp_redirect(‘http://mensrightscoalition.org/activity/’) ; exit;
}
} `
For the wp_redirect I used the http adress because I couldn’t get the code right for wordpress to render correctly. It worked till I added the wp email plugin. Why would this change that code? The site owner don’t want the members to have access to the dashborad of wordpress, only admins. The wordpress is being used to create a website and community. I searched for a plugin but, every plugin does what I don’t need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.

Issue Two:
I installed the A2 custom login plugin and this just isn’t what I am looking for. This site has a basic login page, how could I implement the same type of page?

Issue Three:
This is more of a question than an issue. Most social networking sites have a members homepage where a user can see whats going on at a glance. Well, I need to create a section called at a glance. This area will be the page that users see after logging in and gives information about that user activity and the entire site (i.e donations that they contributed, hours they volunteered, forum topics, etc…). Would it be easier to create a plugin or just create a new section in the core files.

Issue Four:
I installed the bp sliding login panel and I need to put a link just for the admins and users who can post to the site blog. Again trying to keep limited people to access the dashboard of wordpress. Sorry for the long post but, these are things I haven’t figured out yet. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

hi,
I am new on this forum, I’m not sure to be in the right place…
I ask me some questions about buddy press: I’m working on a website on wordpress. I’m looking for a tool to share videos with different suppliers. In fact I need to send them some movies (in high quality), each supplier can access to only videos which concerned them. Do you think Buddypress can be a good tool for me? and if I can insert movies on this tool, how does it work? is there a sort of administrator who can choose how to define the parameters of access? is it possible to download videos which are posted on line or are you obliged to just seen them without any possibilities of downloading? if my suppliers can download a video, will it be quick?

I found the problem. When I change the theme to bp-default and the link in the Group Directory is working. But oh boy, it is not theme it was the function.php that I add @boonebgorges codes is not working:

What’s the easiest way to change the default landing page for BuddyPress groups?

It was working in BP 1.6 but not BP 1.6.1. I deleted it. It works.
```
function bbg_set_new_group_default_subnav() {
global $bp;

if ( bp_is_group() ) {
// Set up your new default
$new_screen_function = 'groups_screen_group_forum';
$new_default_slug = 'forum';

$parent_slug = bp_get_current_group_slug();

if ( $function = $bp->bp_nav[$parent_slug] ) {
if ( !is_object( $function[0] ) )
remove_action( 'bp_screens', $function, 3 );
else
remove_action( 'bp_screens', array( &$function[0], $function[1] ), 3 );
}

$bp->bp_nav[$parent_slug] = &$new_screen_function;

if ( bp_is_groups_component() && !bp_current_action() ) {
if ( !is_object( $new_screen_function[0] ) ) {
add_action( 'bp_screens', $new_screen_function );

} else {
add_action( 'bp_screens', array( &$new_screen_function[0], $new_screen_function[1] ) );
}

$bp->current_action = $new_default_slug;
}
}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bbg_set_new_group_default_subnav', 999 );

function bbg_set_new_group_default_action() {
global $bp;

if ( bp_is_group() && !bp_current_action() ) {
$bp->current_action = 'forum';
}
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bbg_set_new_group_default_action', 999 );

@chouf1 It wasn’t victimization or moral harassment. It was a response to being called a d–k.

This isn’t about me. I can afford to hire developers, etc. I have been working with BP since it was in beta. I have answered questions here. I have contributed where I can etc etc.

I am calm.

I went out of my way to write this post in a productive way. It just seems I was talking on a completely different level. This isn’t about mods, locked posts or any of that other stuff. It was about the BIG PICTURE.

@FIQ, i believe i understand what you’re saying here and on other treads in the past days, but i’m affraid you use the wrong maner.
“The hostility expressed just underlines my point.” sounds like victimization of yours, a kind of moral harassment against the BP users simply coming here for help or questions.

Rome wasn’t buit in one day. Learning how to use BP needs time, try outs and heavy headaches in some situation. And similar to other situations in the real life, you can’t go faster as the lowest BP user.

“My point” is your’s. Everybody here has his own point of view i guess.
If you want to help on this forum, write answers.
If you want to express your personal opinion, write on your own blog or elsewhere you want.
If you haven’t the time or the skills to do so, read only.

So what happens to you appened also to other i guess
– discovering buddypress
– learning the software
– enjoying it
– becaming familiar
– viewing the dark side
– burning down the idol (your actual statement ?)
– taking back
– viewing global
– acting local

So please, calm down, you’re not alone.

@fiq I have to disagree. There has been plenty of occasions where non-developers pass down knowledge they have got from forum post to there support questions by non-developers as well as developers. If anyone has a solution to help someone out on the forum then by all means take the initiative to help. It doesn’t mean you have to be a developer to have a solution that was answered previously. It also doesn’t mean others won’t post a more practical solution. Basically what I am saying is most folks do a good job of paying it forward on the forum.

Of course they can and should be Googling that stuff, but we both know that is rarely the issue. The goal isn’t to educate the masses. The goal is to reduce the time it takes to answer those people by just posting a link.

For example. Someone recently asked how to change the color of the buttons. Yes they need to know how to adjust BP css, but they also need to know how to use tools like Firebug etc. Perhaps some feel the second part is beyond the scope of these forums (and I tend to agree), but the goal is to reduce the time it takes to reply to each. By providing them with links to non-BP tutorials it would reduce the amount of follow up questions.

As BP is made easier to develop you will be getting a lot more questions by people that don’t even know what css stands for. You have one of two choices, either try and help the helpless or turn them away frustrated by their ignorance.

You are going to have to deal with these issues as BP turns from being a a plugin mostly for developers into more of a consumer assessable plugin.

We all know the codex needs updating and some of us know keeping it up to date is like rewiring your house without turning off the power. Anyway, when the good people at BP get around to it I think they should include some basic coding tutorials. Things like how to use tools like Firebug to fix/adjust css etc. along with other basics.

As you know there is a flood of questions by users everyday that can be solved easily with a little basic knowledge. Of course few of these people will ever read those first, but at least you can just paste a link instead of wasting time answering the same basic questions over and over. When 1.7 rolls out I believe this problem will only increase as BP becomes more popular. It’s better to teach them to fish than keep buying them lunch.

Perhaps you should bring in some contributing writers to the blog to write some tutorials. There are a lot of talented people here that are writing these type of articles for their own site. I think it would be good if you tapped into that.

Welcome to the BP forums

Firstly, I would like to know if I already have a wordpress site up and running and with a template that is not buddypress. If I install buddypress on that site, would it fit in with the current template or would I have to change my look?

Answer: You will need to integrate the new BP templates with your current theme. The plugin BP Template Pack guides you through this process and is available fro FWEE! in the plugins directory .

I am still finding my way around plugins/ addons but would normal wordpress plugins still work with buddypress?

Answer: This depends on the plugin and it’s functionality – to my knowledge, trial and error is the bestway

My site would be a Christian portal with community features. Where is best to get buddypress plugins from?

Answer: https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

News – This would import news from other sites via rss feed. : Use WordPress
Ecards: Find a plugin or someone to make it for you.
Directory Mod: Maybe you can modify the Portfolio plugin to do this ?
Q&A: Sorry, no idea
Amazon Store: Run a search with our best friend, im sure he’ll hit you up with a good plugin

You’re welcome for as far as it helped

I have used phpfox in the past but feel it is lacking what I am want to achieve. I would require the following plugins and if anyone could direct me or suggest some i would be greatful:

News – This would import news from other sites via rss feed.
Ecards- Is there an ecard plugin? These would be inspirational ecards
Directory mod – listings for charities
Questions & answers such as yahoo questions.
Amazon store plugin – allows affiliate products/ astore to be integrated.

Thank you in advanced for your help.

It’s purely voluntary – with reasonably regular input from one of the core developers.

People will answer questions that take their fancy, or where they can provide useful feedback (and sometimes when they can’t) — most reasonable questions will get a response within 24 hours or so.

I’ve given a little feedback on your other question [tbh — including all that info about your setup tends to distract from your question — I know it’s in the forum guide, but just sticking to a minimum stops your post looking intimidating! Don’t tell anyone I said this]
