BuddyPress.org

The default theme files are in plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/

But, don’t edit these directly, create a child theme and work on that

You’ll find the activity loop calls in the activity folder in the default theme

@brianowens

What theme are you using?
Could you post a link?

But Mystique has already been ported to BP by the same author: http://bp-theme-converts.com/mystique-with-buddypress/ have you tested it ?

Hello guys,
I think i have arrived at right thread to post my query at.

I am looking to filter Group creation and member joining activity from Group activities.

I dont want to display “Member has joined this group” And “Member has created this group” in group activity stream.

Please tell me how to do it using custom-bp.php file or themes function.php file. I am ok with both the types.

Regards,
Sam.

hello sir,

Can you please guide me how to use this function to filter ‘user joined’ and ‘user created’ a group from groups activity.

Awaiting your response.

Sam.

@PJnu: Yep so far I’ve tried a bunch of popular plugins and they work and look fine! BP-Slick is a Child Theme of the standard Theme and inherits a lot of it’s templates. The templates I’ve added are build with the same classes and template structure so this means that all plugins which are developed for BP-Default (I think all plugins are) are working fine.

Plugins that are really extensive (BP-Media, CourseWare etc) might require some additional styling, but these modifications can be shared in the support group. Everyone who has bought the plugin can upload/download new templates, styles and tweaks for the Theme. So if something does not behave as expected, chances are that me (or someone else) has fixed it and has put it up for grabs in the “goodies” section of the support group!

@Bowromir have you tried the theme with most of the popular buddypress plugins to see that the plugin works well with them? I’ve had a few awesome themes that strangely didn’t work well with BP. The video demo seems to show you’re quite comfy with BP so that’s a great sign.

I removed/commented out the create a blog option from the member registration form while still keeping blog creation on. I only left access to the bp create a blog form for users is_loggedin Only. By tucking it away within the member profile for the member to create a blog later during their profile detailing/editing process, I was able to get to the point where I only needed to delete crap members that get in, not crapmembers + crapblogs that get created at one time wasting all my low number blogIDs!

At the end of the day, if you’re running BPmu you don’t really need to have insta-blog. The option to create a blog is link within the member profile “dash” that they can get around to when they feel settled. I’ve found it’s easier for the user to get their profile up and running first and then breathe and think of a good blog name/url after they’ve logged in for the first time.

but if you really really want instablog, which really isn’t that instant due to the wp-admin of it all. Plus, it’s not really instant because there are too few frontend posting options in member themes for the user to start posting right away, so no need for instablog in registration process, so just indicate to your user that they can do that part later. if you still want blog creation at first registration, then you can keep up the good fight by zapping spammers and their blogs.

1 – Phew!
2 – Cool!
3 – Umm… no more for now

1: No you can keep the same membership page! Just fill in the ID of that page on the S2Member Theme Options page. By using a very simple plugin (included with your purchase) this page will then be added to a person’s profile. So basically it’s a nice wrapper to show the membership page inside someone’s profile. I did not want to mess with the brilliant S2Member plugin, and this is a nice solution.

2: See answer one.. Since S2Member can be used for so many different things I focused on adding:

– an extra template for the welcome page with some nice tabs (shown on the bp-tricks homepage right now)
– a sidebar for that page
– Profile integration
– Some nice shortcodes to create cool looking buttons
– A welcome page template to get people started

So the changes are mostly aimed at making your sales/welcome page look awesome, add a nice membership section to profiles and allow you to quickly set everything up. S2Member remains intact and is not “messed” with.

3: Nope! Although most question you might have should be answered in the docs

Hope this answers your questions!

@Bowromir

That will be a great start to a new week!

A few questions…
1 – I’ve got s2member set up on my install and have already coded a membership page to display info according to level and ccaps along with various other extras. I’m guessing I’ll have to take that page down when I install bp-slick, right?
2 – Do the s2member settings in bp-slick adapt to the current install, or should the current install be reset to default settings and let the theme take over?
3 – Should I wait for theme documentation before asking more?

Hi Rob
First question is what have you changed recently? Switched to a new theme, installed a new plugin, changed permalinks?

A lot of us try to help answering questions on these boards, but we’re just volunteers doing this for fun. We seem to get most issues replied to within a two day period, which I think is very good.

Regarding above — neither of you have provided sufficient detail (have a look at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/ for the sort of information we’d find useful). Does WordPress (without any plugins or custom themes installed) send emails correctly, for example on user registration?

@pcwriter The theme is done! I’m now creating the different packages and setting up the payment system. It should be two days max!

@pjnu: thanks for your order!

algunas cosas:

[es tan temprano – no puedo escribir mi respuesta en castellano]

1. You should not change the core BuddyPress files (e.g. bp-activity-templatetags.php). If you do this, you will make it much harder to upgrade your site.

2. If you want to show all activity items on the home page (including the hidden items), you can do this in your theme files (without changing the BuddyPress core files):

– Have you built your own child theme? If not, check the ‘docs’ section of this site for information
– In the activity_loop file in your child theme, include the parameter (‘show_hidden’=>true) in the call to bp_has_activities()

3. No, it’s not a bug to let you reply to an activity item:

– The default logic for privacy / hidden decides whether an activity item is shown in the stream. By default, private / hidden items wouldn’t be shown. You have over-ridden this logic, by changing the template tag to show all items regardless of whether they are hidden or not
– Once an item is shown, you can reply to that item (unless it is a blog or forum item with replies disabled)

4. If you want to show hidden / private items, but disable replies to them if the member is not in the group:

– Try adding an additional check for group membership in the activity-meta section of entry.php in your default theme. I’m not sure if there is enough information in the activity item to let you do this

Use FTP to do a complete reinstall of the entire BuddyPress plugin again. Make sure that you have the correct folder and that it’s in the correct folder level. After that then remove your Facelook theme from the theme folder. Then see if your site comes back with the BuddyPress Default Theme activated.

If you do not want to use FTP then you might try yoursite.com/wp-admin/theme-install.php and search for Facelook.
