Q&A sites have been on the wind for a while. It’s a great way to gain traffic. Any chance we have it in BuddyPress?

Hi guys. How can I make it so it displays the users by nicknames, not by their names?
And, how can I add Activity and Members links in the adminbar?

Thanks in advance!

Quick question to anyone in the know…

`id=”_wpnonce_new_activity_comment”`

Does any functionality actually rely on this ID? Can I safely strip it from the markup? (ok, that was 2 questions… )

Hi everyone!

Looking to do a new BP community and had a few questions..

This will be a multi city community using WP multi site.

Is this type of set-up possible?

site.com is just html directory with all the cities listed out
site.com/new-york is the WP/BP install
site.com/miami same thing
and so on..

Will all the city forums share each other? i.e. member from miami can post in new york with 1 username.

Is this the best way of doing this? do you have any suggestions and what I need to know for this type of set-up?

Thanks for all the help in advance!

OK. So I was in my Buddypress install earlier today, and everything was working just fine. A couple hours later I got a call from an associate telling me the site was down – redirecting in a way that would never complete. I pulled up the site, and my theme (Jooc) was telling me bp_dtheme_page_on_front was an undefined function. I went into the header and commented out all of the references to bp_dtheme_page_on_front – the site came up, but the redirection was still not working as it had. So I continued to debug…

The only plugin I have that does redirection is “BP Profile as Homepage”. I FTP’d the plugin folder to another directory, and everything started working as before. I figured I should verify that the plugin truly was the culprit, so I FTP’d it back in and reactivated it. Everything continued working correctly – back to normal. So, my questions are:

1. What is bp_dtheme_page_on_front, and why would the header.php of my theme suddenly stop “finding” it?

2. Why would removing the plugin fix the problem, and then moving it back in and reactivating it *not* break the site again?

To answer any questions in advance, the site is WP 3.0, the BP is 1.2.8, the plugin is version .3, and the *only* mods I;ve made in the last 2 days are uploading a new header image to the theme, and switching back to the “mystery man” defualt for avatars.

Thanks for any input

I am starting to play with buddypress and believe it may resolve some of my requirements. But I have some questions about how we could use it effectively with WordPress.

We already have a WP site, it uses a theme that is very good but not BP friendly. Most of the site is general purpose available to anyone, there’s just a bit that isn’t. The requirements are these:
….a) members can log-in
….b) members & non-members can book events and get the relevant price i.e. non-meber & membership
….c) non-members can purchase membership (and compete al relevant data)
….d) members can maintain their details
….e) perform various other membership activities supported by BP

So I was wondering if we could retain our current site, using the theme we took so much care to choose, then when someone wants to join or maintain their membership details link to another site with the buddypress functionality. But how would we sync the two?

Any advice about how best to satisfy our requirements but still retain our selected WP theme?

many thanks…………………….. liz

p.s. probably completely wrong in terms of etiquette but I did post this originally in teh WordPress & Buddypress group but no response and it is on a few mebers so I thought this group was a better bet. Apologies if I have broken any rules by doing this.

Here is my dilemma, I downloaded and installed the C.C. theme yesterday. I noticed that when I went to log in via the admin bar I would be redirected to a broken url.

Thus I was only able to log into site via a log in (what I am assuming to be widget) which is embedded along the right side of the theme.

Anyway, this afternoon I had the bright idea of activating a feature in one of my plugins that makes the site visible only to members.

Thus, I found the fatal blank screen when trying to log into my account.

Anyway, I disabled all of my plugins so that I could try to log in the back way but my admin bar is still missing.

and that lil widget in the theme provides me with this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_signup_allowed() in /home/prayorg/public_html/wp-content/themes/custom-community/core/cc_widgets.php on line 103

I viewed file in FTP, I am soooooo new to all this and I had no idea what needed to be done over there so I didn’t touch anything.

So I have figured that if I could disable this theme, I may be able to get back into my site, which is @ http://www.pray618.org

Thanks for your help…I have searched high and low…to no avail.e I hate asking repetitive questions but I just didn’t find anything on the net.

Oh…Btw while I am at…Once I get back into my site, how can I disable that log in widget that comes with the theme?

Thank you.
