BuddyPress.org

Very knid of you to support me like this, thanks. I have been able to locate and change the witch_to_blog function in the main domain (bp-default theme). How ever I’m not sure where to put in the code in other themes ( using TwentyTen), have tried again and again with the result error on lines. Will try more an hope to find the right place for it. Once again, thanks for advising.

You will be adding the switch_to_blog function in the header.php of your theme/s for subblogs.
Using bp-default theme’s sample Code here – http://buddypress.pastebin.com/MafW4WNU
If you are using different theme then you would have to add the 2nd code to your theme replacing the wp_list_pages or the wp_page_menu template tag in your theme’s header.php

@lisalove – if you want to have the same main navigation throughout the site then use the switch_to_blog function that andrea_r above posted or copy the HTML of the main navigation in main blog and paste that in all the themes you uploaded for your members to use in their own blogs.

“incorporate an article/post slideshow into the Thematic theme”
Getting the slideshow to work is more on the WordPress side … if you’re making a slideshow of the posts/articles in your site. BuddyPress doesn’t have anything to do with the slideshow … unless you’re making a slideshow of BP Gallery images or members or groups, etc.

Furthermore, since you’re using the Thematic theme (which has a BuddyPress-compatible version/adaptation), might I point you to the Thematic Forums since they can assist you better in choosing best slideshow/plugin for your site http://themeshaper.com/forums/

Hey gang,

I am trying to configure BP so that I can move the links that show up in the main navigation (i.e. Forum, Activity, Groups, Forums) into a child listing. For example, I have an “interact” link on my main nav, and I’m trying to move all BP-related links under there.

I’ve been scouring BP forums and can’t seem to find the answer without hiring a coder. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Benjy

Hoi, ik ben op zoek naar de NL vertaling van Buddypress 1.2.x (hoe nieuwer hoe beter)

Ik heb zelf een nl-vertaling gemaakt van/voor de P2 Theme en Mingle plugin, …dus voor de geïnteresseerden.

@superbloggernl @Xevo @blogomatic @xevo @tcesco @bowe @leanders @jesperpopma @deludi90

PS: Heeft iemand nog een idee hoe je een nieuwe .pot file voorziet met de overeenkomende data van een eerdere .po file?
…dan hoeft dus niet alles vertaald te worden maar alleen de nieuwe ‘te vertalen’ woorden/zinnen.

Ok guys here is what I found may work. If you implement the two additional plugins into your site, you should never see the wp-admin page while using a buddypress site.
1. Be sure not to disable BuddyPress to WordPress profile syncing in Buddy Press settings. You want to link both the buddy press and word press site together
Now for the rest of the settings
2. Install Absolute Privacy
Under settings: Lockdown the site and Block admin access. For the “Redirect Non-logged in Users To:” part: enter your Login page permalink for My Login
3. Install Theme My Login
Under settings for Theme My Login: Put a 0 for Page ID and ensure the other 3 check boxes are selected, Pagelist, Links, and Stylesheet.
NOTE: In order to log out from your wordpress control panel you will need to click the link at the top left of your wordpress control panel to get back out to the buddy press site. You should still be logged in as your user in Buddy Press. Simply chose log out and viola you should not see the wp-admin. Test it out by entering a fake username/password, you should bounce back to buddypress login screen..
Same thing with the login procedure. You will need to log in through buddypress and click on “edit this entry” to get back to the wordpress control panel.
Another layer of wp-admin lockout may be to create a redirect for wp-admin and wp-admin.php
ALSO: It doesn’t seem like Buddy Press Sliding Login Plugin works with this setting so it may be wise to disable that feature. Be sure to backup, as results may vary. Proceed at your own discretion.

@carmelo2 the author/s of that premium theme should be able to assist you – I do believe they do provide free support for their paid themes.

I believe Daniel wants to add a tab on the group directory page.

That would require manipulating the “bp_ajax_querystring” filter located in /bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php.

Same problem here. Running WP 3.0. Deactivated all my plugins and swiched to deafult WP theme before installing. I get the same message both when I upload via ftp and with a direct install through plugin search. I found this link but it didn’t really make me smarter http://hungred.com/how-to/sufficient-permissions-access-page-plugin-admin-page-update-wordpress-30/

Help please!

If you remove that function and filter, you cannot set the activity stream as frontpage.

if that is not an issue for you, then go ahead and remove the filter:
remove_filter( 'page_template', 'bp_dtheme_page_on_front_template' );

The problem probably has something to do with the empty $wp_query->post->ID.

The DAP team should either remove the filter and create a compatibility filter or change how it looks for the empty post ID.

@ajc88
I just did this for a website I’m doing. The easiest way is to make a language file with the changes. See this page on the documentation to do it: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

Basically, you change everywhere that it says group to whatever you want the name to be.

If you just want the link to “Groups” page to be something different, you could do a child theme (see https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/) and change the file header.php where it adds the group navigation link. However, it will still say group everywhere else you go.

I cannot get the PM system to work at all either.
I have tried rwo fresh installs of WP 3.0; installed the BP 1.2.5.2 plugin; used the default BP theme; changed the permalink setting to something other than default.

I can fill in the form to send a PM but nothing gets sent; nothing gets received; there are no messages in the database tables.
Other functions like Friends and Groups seem to work but I need PM.

I don’t get any error messages on screen and there are no error messages in my server’s log files.

There must be something missing in the set up instructions if a clean install doesn’t work. I’m not the only one.

To change the default theme on child sites, look at http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/change-the-default-theme-for-sites-without-a-plugin/

Your problem with locate_template could be your leading slash.

Try without and see what happens:
locate_template( array( 'library/components/buddypress/buddypress-postloop.php'), true)

locate_template() is a WordPress function, so any bug with it would be a WordPress issue.

Use STYLESHEETPATH instead of TEMPLATEPATH.

use something like http://pastebin.com/ and past the link to the code here.

@modemlooper it was default theme originally , then you must have seen 2010 now I see something called sufusion[sic] not really going to be possible to help with themes changing on a second by second basis
