BuddyPress.org

i had a mail from soneone sayng joined but couldnt log in
i then looked on users and saw everyone is automaticallyy registered as a subscirber, which my logic would say reader and recieve feed updates but cant comment etc

what i need is that people can make groups themself and also post in the groups and forums, but not make blog posts or create or edit pages
I see no way to change or modify permissions, and there is no interface explainig the differences in permissions between subscriber and members, contributors editors and authors.. editor will have pages and posts i thin and author will just have blog section open ??

but member and subscriber.. what more can a member do what a subscriber can not? and if no difference, why in hell have two member roles for the same permissions?

That site is a highly custom WordPress, they are mostly just using the profiles part of BuddyPress. You will need to hire a developer if you are not comfortable with extensive coding. No plugin currently exists to gain this type of functionality.

It’s a block of code in sidebar.php from line 8 – 56

@tommyhoang– why not widgetize your header! http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

Make sure to do it in your BP child theme… don’t hack bp-default.

The more specific or technical a question is, the less people feel comfortable answering this. The answer to this is you’re going to have to code a custom component for BuddyPress, which requires a familiarity with PHP and WordPress and BuddyPress. Do you have this? If so, I can go into more detail, otherwise I suggest you try to hire a developer to build it for you

This plugin has example code, but in the next version of BuddyPress this code is changing slightly

Yes. If WP is at domain root,
– create a network with subdomain structure
– then choose which subdomain you want to “install” BuddyPress and add
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`
replacing $blog_id with ID number of chosen BP subdomain to your wp-config.php

I installed BP on the main site
Now I open a subsite mysite.com/subside1
but I don’t understand how activate groups in subsite
because when I go on GRUPS say me PAGE DON’T FOUND

What can I do?
Thanks

Yeah, so I’m bumping an 11 month old post. But if anyone has done a Gigya + WordPress/BuddyPress integration, I’d love to talk to you about any lessons learnt, etc.

BuddyPress must be installed site wide.

Jamie and I ended up talking about this on Twitter. For anyone who finds this later, bbPress 1.x adds custom roles and capabilities to WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use these, but when you install BP 1.0-1.2.9 and activate group forums, it installs a version of bbPress for you.

BuddyPress has no externally accessible APIs. You’d have to create your own bridge, which may or may not be very complicated depending on what exactly you need out of it.

I’m having the same problem. When I enable W3 Total Cache if I click log out it still shows me as being logged in. It takes a couple of refreshes to change it. Likewise when I log in it still shows me as being logged out.

Wordpress 3.2.1
Buddypress 1.2.9
W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.3

Clearing cookies has no effect on the problem. If anyone can suggest a fix, please do.

You mean wall == the wire (old BP) or activity updates (current BP)? What versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using?

second test after deactivating Group Extras was the same, so It doesn’t memorize all fields below the field “phone number” which sometimes doesn’t work too because after the saving it change the value into the value of the field above (WEBSITE), @modemlooper or @boonebgeorges if you want admin access to my testing site (www.stripunity.com – untouched brand new clean installation (latest wordpress & buddypress versions with 3 plugins in it) for your plugin testing purposes , I would gladly send you an password.

jad117 –
something similar happened to me. I was editing the wrong file that was supposed to be the right file.
there are a few different ways to find other versions of the same file.

my preferred method:
if you have your site backed up to your local machine:
if you have Notepad++ (which is a free text editor program found here ->http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) you can use the “find in files” function. enter the phrase you are looking for (in this instance “public groups”). on the Directory section, select the wordpress folder. I tend to go to the highest directory possible so that I know for sure I’m not missing something.
the results will show you all instances where that phrase is. you can click on the phrase and it will open the file for you!
edit it there and then ftp/upload it to the same file path it came from (the file path is listed in the search results)

other places to look for the file you need to edit:
if you don’t have your site backed up on your local server
sometimes, the files are not on the Appearance tab. sometimes, they are in the plugins folder. (that was the case for one of the profile files I wanted to edit)
yoursite.comwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default
go to the plugins page
select buddypress from the drop down menu
edit the file there

hopefully, one of these two suggestion will help.
good luck.

@foxly and others – Just wanted to drop a note about a recent commit https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4977 where I made a minor adjustment to the new load order that should help a lot with plugin backward compatibility. In particular, plugins that are using the (old and incorrect but functional in 1.2.x) method of hooking their global and nav setup routines to ‘wp’ and ‘admin_menu’, which wasn’t working in earlier revs of BP trunk, should now be working. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3476 for more explanation.

That said, you should do the right thing and update your plugin so that it does it correctly: set up your globals at bp_setup_globals and your nav at bp_setup_nav!
