BuddyPress.org

If you don’t mind dabbling with BP code… sitewide search could be implemented like this (I say “could” because I haven’t tried it yet).

First a form needs to be created with an input field. Then, you’d need to create a new page (in BuddyPress or a page in WordPress with a page template) and add a bunch of BP loops that checks for the same input field variable.

Try Modemlooper’s widgetized theme as a child theme of bp-default. It might be just what you’re looking for.

HI again and thanx for supporting,
I really dont see where u say i can find the ” groups” in my admin panel of wordpress site.
See picture, where should i go exactly to find this though i cant find anything in the logical place for me to look, as in “Buddypress>>Forums setup”

see picture:

Please advice.

hi @r-a-y is_site_admin() and is_admin() are very different. is_admin() checks whether you are inside wordpress admin or not.
@scotm
How about making the activity of admin user private
`add_filter(“bp_activity_hide_sitewide_before_save”,”make_admin_activity_private”,10,2);
function make_admin_activity_private($hide_sitewide,$activity){
//get the current activity
if(current_user_can(‘manage_options’))//user is admin
return 1;
else
return $hide_sitewide;

}
`
Hopefully the code goes through this forum.

@Anthony why don’t you check if “allow new registrations” is enabled at “options” under “site admin” in your wordpress backend ? Read the same question today and provided the same answer, let’s hope it is the same problem !

I am really a big fan of buddypress.

Looks solid, would love to check it out.

Hi Tosh,
What’s the easiest way for my users to view their points? I can’t seem to find a link on my profile page or the buddypress admin bar? Or is the only way to view your points is to go to the WordPress admin pages?

There’s one in /wp-admin/profile.php in the WordPress dashboard. Presumably you could look at how that’s working, and just reuse the code in your register.php in your child theme.

It looks like you need to increase the allocated memory limit for PHP. Depending on the way your hosting company has set up the servers, you might be able to do this yourself. If you’re on a shared hosting package, they might not allow you to increase the memory limit.

I suggest contacting technical support at Rackspace and tell them about the error message. Then ask them what is set in the server’s php.ini file for the value of the memory_limit directive. If Rackspace allows for this value to be overridden by Apache, then you can easily tell php to use more memory by adding this to the very top of your .htaccess file.

### Set PHP Memory Directive ###
php_value memory_limit 60M


As a final check, make sure that your site is running PHP5. Although WordPress does run under PHP 4, it also runs under PHP 5 and that is always better.

If this is all foreign to you, then perhaps Rackspace will do it for you.

For that to work as intended, you also need to set WP_LANG in your wp-config.php and load a nBb_NO translation for WordPress.

Maybe you will find this info from the Google SoC site interesting @derekbolden:

Title: Events Plugin for WordPress and BuddyPress
Abstract: Events have become an integral part of Social Networking; this plugin would also be useful for WordCamp.org – allowing people to handle WordCamp registration through the WordCamp site itself, etc.

This plugin will provide basic event functionality for plain vanilla WordPress installs and enhanced capabilities for BuddyPress installs by leveraging the new WordPress Custom post types and moving on from that.

Anyone tried using Posthaste Plugin or the TDO mini-forms with BP posting yet?

Now this is just my honest opinion, but I wouldn’t get it (this isn’t a slight against Lisa).

If you glance the TOC, it’s more of an introduction to BP, which is great if you don’t know anything about WordPress or BuddyPress and you’re just diving in. And, you’re right, you can find most of this info online.

If you are an intermediate developer (or if you’re experienced with WP), you can learn as you go and dig through the BP code and other BP plugin’s code.

FYI, WPMU.org is not an affiliate site.

Get to this screen in your WP admin panel:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_SubPanel

Set it to “Day and Name”. Save. Check your BP pages and see if they work.

Don’t worry about the .htaccess file for now.

Has anyone figured out how to use cubepoints with WordPress MU + Buddypress?
