BuddyPress.org

I am looking into how promptly we may be closing old discussion threads (if we leave them open, someone replies to them months or years later, normally with a “did anyone ever find a solution” etc”, and the discussion’s out of date). I can’t see any threads that you’ve started recently that have been closed, so I’m assuming you meant…[Read more]

So much spam potential 😀

Generate @ mentions for all group members.

@shanebp I’m also going to add support for more commands such as @mod, which will mention the group’s moderators.

Crowdmentions is in progress.

Maybe use an illegal character at the beginning of the mention string? So:

@-group

@-channel

I’m not sure I like that approach though as people may forget the -. How does Slack avoid the problem? They seem to use mentions without illegal characaters such as @channel @all and @everyone without any problems.

How would you guys suggest this works?

@group

@channel

What if these are usernames too? I’m wondering about the best way to do this.

In post #190874 on the topic you’ve linked to, snippet 2 has the line:

$excluded_user='1'; // Id's to remove, separated by comma

You can just add more user IDs like this and those IDs will be excluded from the loop:

$excluded_user='1,34,56,201'; // Id's to remove, separated by comma

So it is better for this plugin to do the styling.

BuddyPress is intentionally built to be flexible. Even though it works well “out-of-the-box” it isn’t designed to be finished. If we added everything to core, then it would bloat the project. The idea is for you to extend your own personal copy of BuddyPress with plugins and themes to make it…[Read more]

Best request so far on this forum and surprised you reopened this thread. Buddypress, bbPress, and WordPress are so easily close the threads before anything is even discussed and easily just assumes its better to go to a theme author to implement it when it not the theme author that works on this plugin at all. Theme Authors are 3rd party. So it…[Read more]

This is the only community plugin on the repository that does not have the grid option. That is how far behind this plugin is.

Something like this:

function sm60_filter( $html, $user_id ) {
// Get the data we need.
$display_name = bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id );
$url = bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id );

// Now you can filter.
$html = '<span class="display-name"><a href="' . $url . '" title="' . $display_name . '">' . $display_name .…[Read more]

Oke, permalink problem 🙂 Needed to change it back and again… Now it works, issue is solved!

Do you mean BuddyPress users accessing the main WP site? BuddyPress users and WordPress users are the same, perhaps with different roles and capabilities but they all live in the users table. So two-way access shouldn’t be a problem.

If you feel multisite is the way to go, then I’d suggest you set up a test install first to try it out. Creating a…[Read more]

Your theme not being suitable for standard pages isn’t reason enough to use multisite. It might solve your problem but it is kind of like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Have a read of this article, it will give you some things to think about before you go down the multisite path.

If I understand your requirements right, I wouldn’t use multisite for this. I also wouldn’t use separate installs.

Considering you just need a main site area and a BuddyPress area, I would aim to keep things as simple as possible and address this problem with a custom theme. You can add a /your-theme/buddypress/ folder which contains all of your…[Read more]
