BuddyPress.org

@aces : Thank you for your help but it don’t work. I recevied fatal error message

@hnla : i am sorry, buddypress 1.7 wordpress 3.5.1 bbpress 2.3.1 Browser : Chrome last version.

thank you

I don’t understand this part (Settings -> Forums):

Archive Slugs
Custom root slugs to prefix your forums and topics with. These can be partnered with WordPress pages to allow more flexibility.
Forums base: forums
Topics base: topics

Should I have real pages named after these slugs or not?
I mean, to create pages by myself or it is not necessary?

BuddyPress
Forum settings for BuddyPress
Enable Group Forums: [[checked]] Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums
Group Forums Parent: [[group-forums]] is the parent for all group forums

Is this correct or not? And should I have a real page named after the slug ‘group-pages’ or it conflicts with my forum (type: category) named same way ‘group-forums’ and parental of all the Group Forums? Maybe sth like this ‘pg-group-forums’ and ‘ctg-group-forums’ to destinguish them…??? I am totally messed. 🙁

And should I then have a new page for each my group forum where to display or it’s wrong way?

@Chouf1 amazing insight. Thank you. I may have to get rid of Salutation theme – each time I ask them for most basic stuff on how their theme works with BuddyPress, they refer me to BuddyPress support. And their entire sales pitch is based on their theme being BuddyPRess and bbPress compatible. Just on that sales pitch, they sold over 4,400 themes as you can se here: http://themeforest.net/item/salutation-wordpress-buddypress-theme/548199

Thanks again.

Thanks @mercime although that article talks of wp-login.php (the WordPress login page). This isn’t much use as I am using a custom login page such as example.com/login

This is the site.

@chouf1, I use WordPress-Bootstrap by 320press. In the circled tab, i want to display the class of the student. Also depending on the Class menus with different elements will be put in that sidebar.

How do I do this? Even if I could compare the value of the profile field it would do.
For example,

if( bp_profile_field_data(‘field=class’);==X)
<do something here.>

something like this.

@hnla
can you please help me with this.

Thanks Hugo @hnla

I will give this a go, my WordPress skills are quite limited but I am learning!!

I am also emailing the themes developers but response has been very slow!!

Unlike you guys here at BuudyPress.org who always respond very quickly 🙂

Thanks again for the reply

Have a great day

Thanks Fee … that worked up to a point. I’m using WP 3.51 immediately after a fresh install and so the default theme Twenty Twelve is being used. So, after your instructions (with a small uncertainly at the end) all I see on the nav bar is Home, Activities, Members, Sample Page. Nothing about groups or forums.

Your instructions mentioned ‘Activate group forums for BuddyPress’ which I couldn’t see on the page. What I got was

BuddyPress Forum settings for BuddyPress
Enable Group Forums Allow BuddyPress Groups to have their own forums
Group Forums Parent is the parent for all group forums
Using the Forum Root is not recommended. Changing this does not move existing forums.

The first box was ticked by default (which I left alone) and as instructed, I set the Group Furums Root to ‘Group Forum’.

So, why are there no Forums on the home page ?

Apologies if I’m being stupid here. I think you BP folks have done a great job .. however, I find the available docs not very user-friendly i.e. if I click on ‘documentation’ from the BP home page, I get a list of extremely esoteric items where I would expect to see a few idiot’s guides on installation, configuration etc etc. I reckon that I’m quite knowledgeable about WordPress having created and supported 3 sites, but I’ve found bbPress and BuddyPress very confusing.

Thanks
