Probably a really silly question but is it possible to create a topic I created myself. Ive posted several questions which have been resolved by now / or not relevant. How do I remove these from this forum?
Topic: Inspired to Say “Thank You!”
I am putting together a site which will be a directory for a specific profession. I would like people to have the ability to create a profile page, embed youtube videos on it and map their location. This would showcase their work and would be a resource for potential employers. I would also like these members to be able to interact using buddypress to create a supportive community. However, I suspect members would not want the whole world to see their discussions and interactions with other members. Members may steer away from posing questions where there are gaps in their knowledge for fear of undermining their credibility.
How would it be best to achieve this balance? Are the buddypress profile pages flexible enough to add embedded video etc and can those be public while activity streams etc kept private for members only? Should I be treating the public directory and the buddypress community parts of the site completely separately? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Topic: Hide Directory
hi,
searched around google and bp, found a lot of topics re how to hide particular blog from blogs directory and nothing re how to hide whole directory.
idea is to have MU enabled, but not to show this possibility to members for some time, let’s say beginning stage of site operation. yes, I found topic re how to hide blog(0) from profile, but even if blog creation is switched off, member still sees blogs directory (with one/main blog) + my blogs menu in admin bar, what definitely will raise tons of questions
if someone has some code line, please share.
thank you.
Well there you go!
@fellowchirps now you know what plugin you installed that caused this if you have follow up questions on it please post them to the plugin authors group:
I apologize for the different threads, but I had a few different questions and wanted to keep them separate for organization’s sake.
So I’ve found several threads that provide a means to do this, but none were quite what I was looking for. Being a PHP N00B, this may be the simplest question you all see today
I want to (if the field has a value) output specific profile fields on the members’ directory/search result list.
Two of the Profile fields (custom) are Stylist’s Salon Name and Relationship Status.
I have a feeling the Stylist’s Salon Name also isn’t working because of the apostrophe. I looked in the DB and the field name value is:
Stylist’s Salon Name.As for Relationship Status, the value outputs, but not the strong tags and “Relationship Status:”.
`
Salon:
Relationship Status:

If you’re using GenesisConnect, please keep questions over on that support forum.
Usually, Buddypress links are all on the blog where BP is activated. They do not go across all blogs unless you add a line to the config file. (like you see in our demos)
Topic: 2 Questions about Forums
Hello,
I am using the current versions of BP and WP.
#1 – When logged in I go to the forums page and automatically it already has “Post a new topic” opened, can this be changed? (originally it wasn’t open and you had to hit the “new topic” button…. Iam right?)
#2 – When creating a new topic can I have the “Post In Group Forum:” part already selected to a specific group instead of dashes
?Thank you very much!
Hey @boonebgorges – I’d love to suggest a standalone import/export – doing all these database imports and exports is definitely not an easy task for the below-average user like me, who became pampered with WordPress turn-key solutions
If you can share some light on the 3 questions I made on my reply to @aljuk that would be fantastic! Sorry to bother with these simple questions…
Hey @aljuk – this was superb!
I am a newbie, but a newbie with endurance
I confess I was puzzled by your answer, but then asked the support staff of my hosting company to help me with steps one and two you listed.
But now I am stuck. On step 3, I understand I should use Notepad (Text Editor on MAC OS) to edit the wp-config.php file that I have downloaded doing step 1 (I’m copying the entire public_html folder using FTP).
Questions:
a) what are the specific modifications I should do on the wp-config.php file in my hard disk after the copying of the remote files?
b) how do I create a new local database? With MAMP? Which configurations should be set for this new database (never did that before)
c) how do I import the gzip backup of the remote database I made with phpMyAdmin?Topic: A few questions
I am new to this malarkey, I have been using wp for some time but would like to make bp site.
1. I am looking to have a portfolio page for each of the users. I want them to be able to create the page/album of images, video and audio at registration.
2. Would it be possible to create a member query setup like on http://www.ooizit.com/ with drop down menus giving the user the ability to find other members using certain information.
3. Is there any good chat plugins that your would recommend??
Thanks
Hey all,
I’m a new developer (started a year ago). I’ve been working with WordPress for about 3 months and I get it.
Buddypress is a different issue, because there is very little documentation that teaches a new developer what the functions/actions/filters do,
how to use them, what parameters they take, etc. etc. I’ve been through the codex cover to cover (figuratively) but there simply isn’t enough there.So I’m gonna post some questions here, and I’ve asked a spiritual guru about this, if you answer them and help me understand how to use Buddypress,
you will have a happy and healthy life and birds will stop pooping on your car.Question 1:
I’ve read the wordpress codex page about the Plugin API, so I understand about add_action and do_action and hooks.
But there are a heap of do_action’s in the bp-default theme’s header.php, index.php, & footer.php that I don’t understand.
I’ve looked through other core files, but I can’t find where the add_action for them is, nor any documentation anywhere else.Could you please explain about, or direct me to the page of code for the following hooks:
I’ve also started a blog on the subject. Feel free to comments and help out there.

Is there a way to automatically enable a plugin for all current users, and have it be automatically added for new users aswell?
Same for widgets, is there a way to create a standard set of widgets that are enabled on all blogs? (i have the same theme on all blogs across my site).
I want to give my members the possibility to user certain plugins (if they like) that are available on wordpress (multisite), although i am currently running Buddypress ontop of my Wp 3.1 install.
I´d like to provide functionality like “disqus” “backtype”, post to facebook, post to twitter.. there are alot of plugins to do this, but they are all for wordpress, and not for buddypress, is this going to be a problem?
I was inspired this morning to express my gratitude and thanks not only to the developers of BuddyPress and the various and sundry plugins but to all of you participating in this community who take time out of your day to put in your 2 cents worth, help us learn the deeper concepts and overcome challenges we encounter.
Lord knows, I’ve dumped a bunch of questions here and received a ton of helpful advice.
So … THANK YOU!
