I got the what’s new feature taken care of, now just want to figure out how to do the group/forum tab thing
I have two things I would like to do, as I believe they will confuse members.
The what’s new feature – I would like to post this only on my profile (don’t want the option to post what’s new on groups), would also love to know if there is a way to show the most recent what’s new on top of the users profile (like facebook)
Also When I enter into a specific group, i would like it to automatically go to the forum tab and preferably remove the group home tab….
Hello,
Today, I have two questions to put(rest,pose) you,
I shall like posting(showing) every “fields” independently: that is for example in a page the edition of one fields xprofile grace has a function ( label+input)
I left this base:
`<label for="”> `
<input type="text" name="” id=”” value=”” />
Is it possible to make this?
`<label for="”>`
If yes what would be then this function?
Roughly, instead of generating quite the galls, making them intérvenir one by one by indicating “field_name=facebook”
“field_name=Blog” etc…
Then, I shall like knowing how to open the edition of adversity in a pop-up,
Is this possible?
Woa
There’s a plug-in called LEENK.ME that is now auto-posting to LinkedIn. It’s $0.99 a month, but worth it. I’m using it and it’s great. it posts to Twitter, Facebook Fanpages and profiles, Google Buzz and LinkedIN automatically. And users get to decide whether or not they want to use it. You just have to share your API key with the site and each member can set it up on their own blog. The developers also answer questions in a very timely fashion.
Hi !
I am quite disopoited about the forum part of this greaaaaaaat buddypress. No traditionnal forum functions, at least some nice editor, smileys (that is fundamental !!!!! and manage/add as many we want), quotes, image link insertion, etc. Well, a forum huh !
Tried some extension (bpckeditor) without any success.
My questions :
– is it possible to integrate directly bbpress plugins (in the my-plugins folder, and if yes how to ?
– Does anyone have successfully installe some enhanced editor ?
– This forum part is on the roadmap I saw. What news about that ?
Great thanks !
No courseware. The site was launched March 2009 on WordPress MU/BuddyPress. Slight modifications based on snippets/plugins posted by Burt Adsit, Paul G., Boone G., JJJ and Andy.
The content is mostly pre-recorded video and audio – not a formal educational program with assignments etc. So the setup is pretty straightforward and most of the customization is just theming. Main site has different content for logged out and logged in users. “Classrooms” are private sub-domain blogs (soon-to-be sub-domain sites) with a classroom theme. The main site and classroom sites are both using custom child themes powered by the BuddyPress default theme.
I’m in the process of upgrading the site so I’ll be around here more often if you have questions.
I tried BP Registration options based upon this post and the plug-in has some serious bugs. While it does the things it says it does, it also disables admin editing of any of the WPMU blogs posted. I also have a contributor blog going and it disallows contributors from posting media, it cancels out the permissions function I used to allow media publishing. Registration also does not prevent the spammers from posting blogs all over your site. And they do not respond very soon to any type of support questions asking how to fix these problems. I really wish I could use this plug-in.
thank u so much for helping 
i’m gonna study and if i have questions i’ll post there or better here. Thank u again
please somebody help me on this… i love buddy and wordpress but i don’t have the time now to study again from the beggining the multisite installation. there will be more questions, i made a local installation so i need for sure time on mu site and time now is a big issue. For now please somebody point me on this “simple” thing i ask: maybe it would be more easy to do the opposite? let’s say that i want to user to fill the wp’s fields Yahoo,IM.msn but into bp’s profile. Is this possible? I’m so confused plz help/ .
Thanks mercime. Do you guys know if gigpress will work with wp and bp as well? Can site visitors add content to archived gigs? Sorry for these questions. I’m just not envisioning the whole thing yet. I guess that’s why I would need a buddypress developer to help me!
@modemlooper Sounds great. (:
Two more questions…
When updating the theme, how can we maintain custom css changes without editing custom.css after updating?
Is it possible to show the ad code (sidebar.php) only on certain wordpress pages. Because I would like to hide this ad code on most buddypress related sites.
One more suggestion, how about adding ajax pagination for latest blog posts and or maybe ^^ make ’em sortable by date, most hits and most comments. (:

Likely if the plugin is called ‘single random post’ then you would place some form of template tag in one of the post loop pages i.e index.php or single.php however you are asking a question about a plugin on another plugins support site, I assume this isn’t a BuddyPress specific plugin but a WP one? If the plugin instructions are not clear then it might be best to see if the authors can answer specific questions.
I found a few people asking this questions, but it always seem to go unanswered – pardon me if I missed it.
Is there any way to order the groups in buddypress?
Some groups are very important and should be at the top of the groups list, yet my team keeps suggesting new (not so important) groups to be added (they definitely shouldn’t be top of the list).
I need to add these topics at the bottom but don’t want to delete the existing groups. Any ideas?
I would like to give members the possibilty to add a logo to their profile page – besides the usual Avatar. Does anyone know how to do this – possible with a plugin? Ive posted this questions several times now – hopefully this time someone can help!! thank you so much!
sorry no the one which is published:
We only use wordpress.org to distribute the current STABLE version of the plugin. We do not support, answer questions, or accept bug reports through wordpress.org.
Such info should be in red
I frequent the BuddyPress site often: to learn, to help, to discover something new being developed, and to see how others are using BP. I enjoy using BP. Unfortunately, there seems to be a slowdown again. This happened in the spring and it’s happening again.
Now, this is minor challenge to the success of BP but was never fully addressed the last time it happened. There was a flurry of activity and eventually important people disappeared again. We really need to show active development of the product. Here are three examples that come to mind.
Example 1: Product Announcements
BP 1.2.7 is in a holding pattern for packaging and distribution. There should be an announcement group, and those announcement posts should be stuck to the top of the support topic thread page. After all, I believe an important portion of this website is the support forums but also giving out important information about BP development.
Example 2: New Features
I also believe development of some cool features are being held up. For example, real time activity stream should be a high priority. This would set the product apart from the competition. Two plugins exist as half-solutions. However, there seems to be a lack of will to move forward. Maybe that is me projecting something onto other people’s lack of action. Maybe that is cruel and I’m just pissed that someone on bbpress.org marked me as a spammer. But I truly mean my statements in a way to prompt action in developing code and not anger. Sorry if this post offends but I’ve watched BP languish in minor details rather than reaching out toward improved features. BBPress as a plugin will be a great compliment to BuddyPress and hopefully allow this site to have improved forums.
Example 3: Forum replies
In terms of the support forums, some people are answering questions as best they can but I’m noticing time lags are getting longer and that might turn people away from using the product. I don’t have an immediate solution – except to suggest that discussions begin (or re-addressed) about how to make the forums more efficient and get more people involved.
Well, thank you for letting me vent my concerns. I can’t get to the developer chat sessions due to the times (I work during those hours). I look forward to BP 1.2.7, newer features, and better support and announcement forums.
Take a look at BuddyStream and see if that will work for you.

Is there a way for a user to share a post on a forum to their facebook or twitter? Also, how do you set up if you want a couple of people to be able to post blogs?
It is not myself you are ticking off it is a few people this will only be evident by the lack of responses you find to your threads, I am attempting to point this out so you can rectify this, my comments regarding your recent posts is meant just as I wrote above and carries no other connotation than that which you impose on it it. You have the skill level required to sort the issue out that you report in this thread, yes there may be a little bit of a learning curve but you should deal with some of the things I’ve had to get to grips with the last few days, we all have to advance and approach unfamiliar things and learn how to deal with them. This is not meant as unhelpful or as some brush off, but with a fair bit of experience over the years troubleshooting layouts for people on forums I can tell you providing an solution to this can only be achieved with access to the pages and using debugging tools such as firebug, this you are better positioned to do than us here on the forum, but we can guide you if you get stuck in and help you to use some essential techniques.
Latly and to re-iterate I have not hinted at anything, if I need to make a point I will do so in a quite obvious and definite manner, I will not hint at things. I do not require that you leave the forum and this forum is NOT mine it is a community project home and I am but a very minor and irrelevant part of it.
I would strongly urge that you spend 10 minutes and give this technical RFC paper a read it’s the definitive treatise on how to deal with forums and lists and will help:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Please look through the BP documentation (codex) read up on the child theme guide and the template pack guide which helps you convert WP themes to work with BP pages. If you require further help after reading those or have further questions post back in this thread.

@neosmedia
Sorry for the delay in getting you set up for the support forum. It was the weekend after all 
I’ve already made you a member of the Mapology group. Please post your questions over there. Thanks!
@MariusOoms This can actually be for anyone that can help. First the pugin is perfect for what I need, but just trying to get used to how it all functions within the site and how the member roles play. My issue that I am trying to solve is as follows.
I have groups that i create and not the members and I set who I want for a moderator for each group. Each group will have a different moderator therefore control their own blogs and post. When a member logs onto the dashboard to make a post there is a link “My Sites” that shows all the sites/groupblogs on the network. I only want them to see their own site/blog and not the entire network. I know I can go into each site on the network and click on users and set them so they have no role for that site and that will remove the network sites from their dashboard. However, that would take alot of time and as the site grows….not what I want to do. I also tried the WP Hide Dashboard plugin but it still shows the “My Websites” link. Is there a way to hide the “My Website” link? Or set it so when a new group is made it ads everyone with “no role for this site” instead of “subscriber”? I am just trying everything, but with no luck. Any help would be great. thanks
gunju2221,
After logging into your account directly from the GoDaddy.com website, or the GoDaddy hosting control panel (https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/Login.aspx), go to the Hosting Control Center and choose the File Manager that brings up all of the files in your hosting account. The “html” folder should be first to come up already opened and will house all of your site’s content. Next click on the “wp-content” folder. Then click on the “plugins” folder. Then click on the “buddypress” folder (this is where all files and folders related to BuddyPress reside as it is truly just really a robust, and wonderfully awesome, plugin). Then click on the “bp-forums” folder. You will then see the bb-config.php file. I believe that is the one you are in search of, no? You can’t access this through the wp-admin on your website. It must be done through an FTP client, cpanel, or as I have described above.
I know it’s irritating when a problem arises and holds you hostage while you pull out your hair looking for the solution, but instead of continuing the “bump” business, and further irritating the folks here, you can always try searching out your questions about WordPress/BuddyPress in Google, Bing, blogs, and other forums and so forth. I’ve literally found the answers to a majority of my past questions elsewhere than on here, though BuddyPress.org and it’s community is the obvious authority on all things BuddyPress. That’s certainly no slight on the terrific community of developers and volunteers here on BuddyPress, it’s just a fact. It is getting better though as time goes on.
The rest of the BuddyPress community,
A polite suggestion to the folks on here trying to answer questions that people have who aren’t quite as familiar with the product as you; Treat it like a car. Generally speaking, people don’t really need to know how it works, they just want to know how to drive it. Keep it simple, and forget about all of the tech jargon and mumbo-jumbo. For the location of the “bb-config.php” file, spell it out in the most direct and simplest of terms that you can muster, like I did above with a direct path to the file (think picture book). That’s it. It shouldn’t matter where your installation is hosted at as the basic files should all reside in the same place, unless you’ve moved them yourself after the install. This suggestion comes from a tech veteran who’s worked in IT over the past 20 years – mainframes, networking, hardware, software, web, etc.
