There are widgets that display Most Active wiki pages and Most Recently edited wiki pages, and ways to search the list of wiki pages by tag or content.  Wiki pages are essentially BuddyPress Docs pages that may or may not have associations with a group, so I don’t think a hierarchical display would be too difficult – but I am pinging @ha…[Read more]

The first thing to do, it seems, is apply the patches to the BP Group Hierarchy plugin (which is really vital to my set up, so it would be really hard to turn it off). But I will admit to confusion about how best to proceed.

When I look at the…[Read more]

Can you check out Settings>>BuddyPress and see if all those options seem correct?  Have you tried to refresh your permalinks – i.e. just go to that page and hit save (ensure you are not using default permalink structure).  I am copying Christian @haystack to see if he has any other suggestions.

You also might want to look at some privacy plugins like https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-pages/ that might accomplish w…[Read more]

@haystack @r-a-y – can you please advise Denise on how to get her site ba…[Read more]

See above.  Can you provide some advice to @baly on changing site URLs.  Thanks.

I see that BP Docs offers that functionality (Add Media button) in the toolbar while BP Docs Wiki does not.  I don’t think this would be a big deal to implement on our side – but I am copying @haystack and @r-a-y to see if we can implement an “Add media” button on the BP Docs Wiki to simplify the addition of images on wiki pages.

After I read your post, I upgraded my old site to new version of CBOX (upgraded CBOX, CBOX theme, cleared my cache) I see the same issue that w…[Read more]

I tried the same scenario in my test site and got similar results.  Lots of warning/error messages and then it finally works.  I agree it’s not the best user experience.  I am pinging @haystack and @r-a-y to see if they think this is a BP Docs Wiki issue (https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-wiki/issues)

Thanks for reporting.

I tried to reproduce your two issues, but everything seemed to work okay on my test site, but I know that your live site has more users and more places where things might go wrong.

I know that there are a number of fixes to BP Docs recently – is it possible to pull the most…[Read more]

I took a look at amember – I don’t think you should have any trouble with using it with CBOX, but am pinging @haystack to see if he sees any concerns.  Good luck with your site – it’s looking great already!

Yes, we are looking for a “community as a service” solution (thank you for giving us that terminology :)). Since we are starting with a clean slate, I am trying to install and configure my way through a final decision on whether we should go with a multisite or single site installation…[Read more]

There are a number of plugins that will create RSS feeds for various parts of your groups and forums – I think Boone wrote one – but it might be a little out of date.  See this post: http://teleogistic.net/2010/09/new-buddypress-plugin-bp-lotsa-feeds/

I’m not sure if that would fit in with your use case.  I am pinging @r-a-y and <…[Read more]

A quick fix for this would be to add some custom CSS (Appearance>>CBOX Options>>Custom CSS):

#members-dir-list.pagination{
padding-top:10px;
}

I am not sure why this is happening and why there is some hard-coded padding (325px) on the left of the list of members.  Perhaps you added some customization to make the member list…[Read more]

Thanks for being part of the CBOX community.  Your use case an interesting one.  If I understand correctly, you want to have a multisite installation with a bunch of connected but independent CBOX enabled sites.  I am pinging @r-a-y and @haystack to see if they have any advice on the configuration of such a setup.

Thanks!

Officially, our last release on Dec 9th brought us up to WP 4.0 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/commons-in-a-box/changelog/).  But I haven’t heard of any issues using WP 4.1 and I don’t see any posts on this forum concerning that upgrade.  Just checking with @haystack to see if he might know of any any issues.

I am pinging @r-a-y and @haystack in case they have better suggestions.

I think it would be a good idea to look at the “BuddyDrive” or “BP Group Documents” plugins if you plan to manage a big list of documents (I am thinking that your minutes documents are Word documents?)

I don’t think 30 seconds is that long if you are…[Read more]

Do you have FTP access to your site?  If you think you might have corrupted your functions.php file, maybe you can replace it with a new version?  Or (more drastically) maybe you want to re-install the CBOX theme?  I am pinging @r-a-y and @haystack for their insight – it might be a different issue.

Very strange.  I just tried to change the logo on my test site and it worked fine.  I was wondering whether, in Firefox, you have Firebug intalled?  If so, can you see where the CSS for that overlay is coming from?  Also, maybe you could look to see if  any javascript errors appearing.  I am pinging @haystack and @r-a-y to se…[Read more]

There is another thread about this here – https://commonsinabox.org/groups/help-support/forum/topic/submenu-icons-iconsweets/

as well as an open ticket on GitHub here – https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/issues/159

Hi Christian @haystack – do you know where we stand on this and the best workaround for…[Read more]

But as you stated Iurie — the real question now is then how would we show all site activities in one group? A lot of the most valuable info that is coming off the activity stream is…[Read more]

I like the Christian solution, I tested a similar one some time ago. It is useful if the “General” group is linked to the main blog and this is the only blog. But, the idea to inform group members about all site activities can be not too good without a good activities filter, especially if there are more blogs and more…[Read more]

Iurie

The only needed adjustments was the CSS .flex-container {width: 640px; margin: 0px auto;}.
For those who will want to implement this solution the rule is simple: all representative images for Featured Slider must have a width not less than that fixed by this CSS.

Best regards,
Iurie

I re-enabled my site, so you can see how your code works. It seems like it needs some adjustments.

A small explanation: In my slider I have two test slides with two featured images – with sizes 424 × 283 and 960 × 639 p…[Read more]

I copied the featured slider template to the template folder of my CBOX child theme and renamed it to featured-slider.php. I load it with the below shortcode/function (see the source). Also was needed a little css code: .flexslider li {…[Read more]

The CUNY Academic Commons preceded CBOX by several years and is full of customizations.  It does not use the CBOX theme.  In terms of disabling the responsive theme’s menu – I am assuming you might want a toggle on/off?  Maybe @haystack or @r-a-y might be able to direct you where in the code to begin and give you an idea of ho…[Read more]

Do you have other plugins installed besides CBOX?  Can you try deactivating them to see if it resolves the issue.  It looks like some kind of conflict is preventing jQuery from loading.

@haystack / @r-a-y – would you know what might be going on with David’s site?  Thanks.

@iurie one solution would be to clone the BP widget in a separate plugin, then change the argument to read ‘action’ => ‘new_blog_post,new_groupblog_post’.

@haystack – Christian, I found the ‘(BuddyPress) Recent Networkwide Posts’ widget (in my public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php) but can’t find the ‘Recent…[Read more]

However, you will find entries in the dropdown on the activity stream that allows you to filter the stream by activity type.

@haystack – Yes, I know, but this doesn’t solve the described problem.
