BuddyPress.org

Ok I just about got this sorted out.

So I have the forum icon in the picture below.
http://www.cmpg-annex.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Home___Post_Processing_Group___cmpg-annex1.jpg

Is it possible to send it to a different url? Below is the current code sending it to a forum. I would like to send it elsewhere. Is there something I can put into my child theme to accomplish this?

@shanebp Thanks for the reply.

[…]in any relational table, if an item is assigned to a group ID and that group ID no longer exists in the table that holds group IDs, then that data will not be displayed, ie. orphaned.

I deleted through the admin panel so I am not sure what was deleted, that was what I meant by asking if is was standard behaviour. Possibly what I should have said is; when a user deletes a group by using the ‘bp-profile-setup’ page to click on the ‘delete group’ button, is buddypresses default behaviour to just drop the group and leave the profile data in the table or does it also iteratively remove the profile fields?

I can see the reason why you would want to leave the data in the table (and also reasons why you wouldn’t). I had a quick look at the code but I am not familiar enough with it yet to pinpoint the exact code block.

If fields are not deleted then I guess any fields directly referenced would still be visiable on the site. That may be misleading to user as they may assume deleting a group would also remove fields. However you wouldn’t want a group to be deleted by accident and then a large amount of data be lost. I would guess a system of deleting the group and then updating each profile field to explicitly notify calling functions that their parent has been deleted would be appropriate in the circumstance.

I have used a relational database before but I am unfamiliar with the logic employed by buddypress to interact with it.

The behaviour I was was getting was weird. When I deleted a group and created it again no fields were showing. Then when I added a field, it had a value immediately after creating so something weird was going on so I thought I would ask to see if you knew if the profile data gets deleted when a user clicks delete group in admin panel.

I am starting again now so will pay closer attention to all data as it goes into fresh tables but sometimes it is harder to see to absence of data compared to the addition of new data.

Why? BP will always create a Base group.

I am running a multisite where individual user blogs can create their own fields (https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/segregated-x-profile-fields-for-multisite/).

As the article says:

This code will not create dummy content, so for every new site you will need to create a Profile Fields group and add profile fields to it manually.

When I create new site there are no field groups made at all which I assumed is what it was talking about. Also I wanted to have a default set of groups but allow subsite to edit them. If they want to get default groups back they can just delete all their groups and default will be restored. I could add a separate button for that but I just figured I’d do it like this, no particular reason, I am still in early stages of project.

I think there were other errors at play so starting from scratch with a little more understanding will hopefully enlighten me. I will be duplicating tables this time instead of using meta table.

Okay @henrywright, I’ll check about that error message with that bbPress plugin through their forum.

So I did what you recommended and turned off all the plugins (including the bbPress plugin) where I only have the BuddyPress plugin activated, with me still using the TwentyFifteen theme, went ahead and filled out the registration form once more, and it still took me right back to that registration page with my same information filled out that I did but left the password boxes empty and this is all still showing up each time the page loads up instead of creating the new user profile or redirecting me somewhere else.

Hello @henrywright

Thank you so much for replying back so quickly. And yes, I even tried it with the TwentyFifteen theme (which is currently at the 1.2 version). In addition, I just noticed that my BuddyPress plugin has an upgrade to now 2.3.0 so I went ahead and updated that as well. So when I tried filling out the registration page again, it still did the same thing even with that WP default theme. Any suggestions on why that’s still happening?

Hi @Henry Wright 🙂

I’d rather not reveal with what theme I use, but here you have form from comments.php

//Author
'author' => '
            <div class="one_half_c">
             <label for="author">' . esc_html__('Name:', 'graphic') . '<span>*</span></label> 
             <input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30" ' . $aria_req . ' />
            </div>',

//Email
'email' => '
            <div class="one_half_last_c">
             <label for="email">' . esc_html__('Email:', 'graphic') . '<span>*</span></label> 
             <input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="' . esc_attr(  $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) . '" size="30" ' . $aria_req . ' />
            </div>',)),

//Comment
'comment_field' =>'
            <div class="one_full_c">
               <label for="comment">' . esc_html__('Comment:', 'graphic') . '<span>*</span></label>
               <textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true"></textarea>     
            </div>',
 

If this helps 🙂
if it does not help, please write which i must find file for you 🙂

Thanks for all your help. I don’t think I would need multisite at the moment, maybe when my site grows to have more dedicated bloggers. Can you give me your opinion on a plugin called Buddyforms http://themekraft.com/store/wordpress-front-end-editor-and-form-builder-buddyforms/

It looks better than BuddyBlog

Thanks once again

Just tried it with the default theme (not my child theme) and twenty fifteen. Same result, does not appear to be theme related.

@mrjarbenne:
Thanks so much i forward my help to Theme X support, I thought it was a BuddyPress issue, that is why i came here. I do have access to my server and a FTP. What should line 427 say? I know silly question but it is a shot in the dark if it is supposed to be something specific

again thanks so much, i am excited to get buddy press working again

I will check, if i change themes and the problem goes away what are my fix options. I am currently running theme “X”. If i change themes with the pages be edited due to cornerstone?
