BuddyPress.org

I’m not sure if this is a good solution, but it works for me until a fix is released. I installed the “Page Links To” plugin (http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/page-links-to/), created a new page called “Activity Temp”, and have it redirect to the Activity Stream. I set the temporary page as a child of another page so it doesn’t show up in the main navigation bar.

[EDIT]
Updated patch commited by JJJ:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3066

Perplexing? lots of back slapping on that link announcement yet 1.2.4 does not work particularly well with 3.0 or particularly badly (to be fair) Why? not necessarily criticizing just rather bemused by BP development and testing.

Not unless you want to backtrack to WP(MU) 2.9.2… make sure you can revert to your DB backup and filesystem.

I say just wait for a fix unless you’re on a production site.

So it was supposed to be ready? Very interesting. We’ll there’s at least two of us who know the truth about that statement. It’s too bad. I just started with BuddyPress and with so much attention I expected to see something a little more polished. Am I expecting too much given it’s maturity? I’ll have to evaluate that question a little closer.

Keep tabs on this ticket:

no solution at the moment

I’d recommend not using Twire.

Try Tweetstream instead:

I’ve got something to help you out.

Wait until BuddyPress is 3.0 compatible.

I actually thought it would be out of the gate considering the time frame of the WordPress 3.0 development and the popularity of BuddyPress.

I just tried an upgrade and it was a failure to say the least. One of the issues is what your encountering.

@r-a-y thanks for this and I have seen this code before and tried it several times but I cant get it to work…I know its me….Im just not putting it in the right place on the functions.php page. Ive put it at the very start of the page. For example:

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
/* Stop the theme from killing WordPress if BuddyPress is not enabled. */
if ( !class_exists( ‘BP_Core_User’ ) )
return false;

/* Register the widget columns */
register_sidebars( 1,
array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘

‘,
‘before_title’ => ‘

‘,
‘after_title’ => ‘

‘

blah blah……….

Is that correct? Because when I do this I get an error reading.

I just need to know “exactly” where to put it on the page. For example put it between “x” and “y”.

Thanks for getting back to me promptly though…appreciate it.

Hi @simoncreative, just one recommendation.
Have you thought about installing a cache plugin, you don’t have one yet, do you?.
I’ve tried W3 TOTAL CACHE https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/ and WP SUPER CACHE https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/. Here you have some WordPress Cache Plugin Benchmarks http://cd34.com/blog/scalability/wordpress-cache-plugin-benchmarks/ to select for yourself. W3 TOTAL CACHE has a complete JS/CSS minify system and helps you to work with CDNs, but maybe its more difficult to use.
But that’s not all, you always can find out what you have to improve with Yslow, PageSpeed, Firebug firefox addons.
One of this “Improvements” will be “Add expire headers”, my friend AD7six has made up a simple .htaccess that will resolve this problem http://gist.github.com/440336 (here is the conversation on Vladimir Prelova blog http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/improve-website-yslow-performance-grade-in-a-blink-of-an-eye ).

I think this might be helpful for all.
By, and great work!!

If your site relies on Groups, you can try out the BP Group Documents plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

Using this plugin, your users can upload documents to a group. You can set the plugin to upload certain file extensions like .ZIP or whatever.

i think a really great plugin would be one to integrate BigBlueButton with WordPress, and specifically with Buddypress. Then, as mentioned above, individual users or Buddypress groups could be easily invited to sessions. The api for integration is here:
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/API

and the main site is here:
