I’m trying to write the code for a website and to be honest I’m finding the Buddypress code a step up from WordPress. I’m trying to write php includes into a childpress theme, specifically in Buddypress pages for Activity, Blogs, Forums, Groups and Members.
I’m hoping to add a second sidebar to every page of the site. I’ve managed to achieve this in all of the standard ‘wordpress’ style template files by using php include(“sidebar2.php”); I’ve defined a function in functions.php that achieves this.
My problem is, if I try to reference sidebar2.php from the Buddypress specific index files I receive :
Warning: include(../wp-content/themes/panda/sidebar2.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/96/7255496/html/mybeautifulbump/wp-content/themes/panda/activity/index.php on line 13
Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘../wp-content/themes/panda/sidebar2.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php’) in /home/content/96/7255496/html/mybeautifulbump/wp-content/themes/panda/activity/index.php on line 13
I’ve tried many addresses for the include, but none seem to work. I notice that for all the other functions the files simply reference ‘buddypress’.
I basically would like to use buddypress as it’s perfect to handle all the members/students – so they can friend each-other & etc
but I would need ANOTHER buddypress install to handle all the teachers, so teachers can message/friend eachother but members/students CANT friend or message the teachers.
Using groups really doesn’t work, I basically want to have a different profile for the teachers –
I’ve searched high & low for a solution, but none exist – I was thinking about two buddypress installs would be perfect, but is this even possible?
@mercime first off sorry If I am doing anything wrong.
And what I got down was those plugins that you told me about and what happen to buddypress is this,
So I download the plugins and stick them on my site then all of the sudden, my slider on the site starts to show funny code things that I can’t find, the pages worked at that time and later, they didn’t work either making it seem odd. I began to play around and try to find the missing functions but I couldn’t find them. I tried plenty of things but it just wouldn’t work, Like I said every time I enable it the site has problems with those pages, I am only trying to figure out how and why these are happening. I don’t quite know what the functions are but I do know that something went wrong.

@videogamerznet you should know that we are volunteers here living in different time zones just trying to help out.
– WP/BP versions? Linux or Windows hosting? Single WP or WP Multisite?
– What do you mean by “I think I got that down”? Can you write down the steps you made to install BuddyPress and BP Template Pack plus include information about the exact errors showing up and when, and what you mean by “things are collapsing” and “some pages won’t show up its crashing down”?
I am still in a mess so I mean, I know a lot of coding but I still cant get it to work! I hope this is not to much but could anyone help me fix it? I have been trying hard and can’t find stuff!

2. Is there ever going to be a core privacy module ever for BP? If yes, then in which version can we expect this?
Yep. It’s already coded and is set to be released in 1.6 (next major update)
“I think when prioritizing the tasks for upcoming release, this should of the highest priority. Things like theme/css bugs and changes, minor bugs can be ignored. This one feature will make this software complete.”
I disagree. Features should NEVER come before bugs… i hate cockroaches all over my site
2. open up create.php, and above line #99 add: ` `
and then after line #106 add: “
so that you, the Site/Super Admin can create hidden groups if you want to
In effect, the hidden group option would look like this now:
`
`
3. upload the file to your child-theme-folder/groups/create.php
Hello! I just installed wordpress and buddypress and I’m using the dynamiX theme. How I can make one of my menu items (home, about, contact, etc on non-buddypress websites) be named “profile” and have that send the user to their profile?
I do not believe I have any membership plugins activated.
The only thing I am doing is limiting each user to a single blog, auto creating that blog without user interaction and then auto assigning that member to the main blog.
Edit: This is not happening to all of my members. Only recent ones, possibly after an upgrade of WordPress and Buddypress a few months back.
I got multiple different WordPress blogs and Buddypress blogs and would like to share content and users data from WP-blogs with BP-blogs, so users don’t need to create lots of different accounts, passwords etc.
Is there a plugin that synchronizes content and users data from a WordPress blog with a Buddypress blog and vice versa? The WP-blog is the master and the BP-blog the slave.
We’re working on a project that’s utilizing BuddyPress as their backbone, and we’re curious if there’s any plugin available for each Group to have their own personal online store. Ideally, it would make use of some sort of chained payment system (PayPal?) so the main site could take a percentage of every sale.
I’m aware of MarketPlace…but it doesn’t seem that they offer this specific functionality (they suggest using WordPress multisite instead).
I’m curious if anyone here has utilized a similar system in a project, and if they could point us in the right direction. Thanks!
Hi
I have the newest wordpress, buddypress and s2member installed. When I integrate the s2member with registration, I don’t have the ‘activation key’ problem. But when it is not integrated, I have this problem.
I took a look at the ticket… Wouldn’t it be better to move it to the author field rather than just pull it from the description field? That way the WordPress widget option can use the author info if the blog owner wants to or not.
For me, it would be valuable to figure out a way to actually figure out how to scrape a title out of the first line of input and then use the rest in the description field if that was possible.
I don’t know if the bpfb short code is anything to do with BP Activity Plus or not, but it may be work contacting its authors directly for supporting and letting them know about the problems when viewing it in an RSS Feed. That’s not something we can fix in BuddyPress core (obviously).
Based on the HTML structure of your theme, you’d need to use the first option, i.e., change 16 template files within the 6 BP folders transferred to your iFeature theme folder in server during the compatibility process.
If you’ve previously changed any of the BP template files in your theme folder, replace all of them for a clean slate by deleting the 6 BP folders in server – /activity, /blogs, /forums, /groups, /members, and /registration – then re-run Appearance > BP Compatibility.
Download the 6 clean BP folders to your computer hard drive.
A. At the top of each of those 16 template files I linked to above, replace
`
thanks for this code, answers my next need in current BP project. in answer to last two questions, try this plugin I found: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-access-manager/ has allowed me to create custom BP roles recognized by BP core and other plug-ins like Justin Tadlock’s roles-at-registration, role-scoper, etc.
