First I must say, I love this plugin. Its great. One issue….I have “Post an activity update when something is liked” checked in the admin menu, but when I like a users activity, there is no new activity item saying I like someone’s comment. Any idea how to fix this?

I have experienced the same problem too. Have you found any solutions as yet?

This would be a really great feature. Would love to see it.

I have the same issue.

Hey,

Just upgraded. The new admin panel is sweeet!.

One little hiccup though…happened after upgrading.
As a regular user who has joined the group, I cant see the ‘About Us’ page.This page should be public at all times. In the wp admin panel >> groups pages, it’s published + public.

Is there a quick-fix I can apply to get this back working again?

You nailed it for the ‘Site admin only’ permissions. Only site admin can see the extras tab on the group admin bar (This is great).

Great!

I would love to see this feature too. This would really be great.

Hi there,

Great plugin. Is there a way to make this a sidebar widget? This would really be awesome.

When do you think you will release v3.5 of the plugin? Can’t wait. Thanks again!

I made the tutorial very very detailed….Modify as necessary
—————————————————————–
In this tutorial, we will be creating two new pages that will show up on the buddypress group menus:
-Group Info
-Group News

Preparation:
[1]After the plugin is installed and activated, go the wp admin panel and click Settings > BP Group Extras
[2]If you do not have a buddypress group, create one.

Step 1
On the BP Group Extras settings page (in wp-admin), you will see a list of all your groups. Click the check box next to the group you want to add these two new pages to and click save.

Step 2
Note: Under “Set of Fields” you can create fields that will be available (by default) to add to your pages.

For this tutorial, I will create two sets of data, [1] Group Info and [2] Group News

***Skip to step 3 if you don’t want default fields.

2. a
Click “Create the Sets of Fields”
Name: Group Owner
Description: you can leave this blank
Click the “Show Fields” button to the right. The Contact info field set will expand.
2.b
Click “Add field”
Field Title: Name
Field Type: Text
Field Description: name of group owner.
Click “Add field”
Field Title: email
Field Type: Text
Field Description: you can leave blank for now.
Click “Add field”
Field Title: Phone
Field Type: Text
Field Description: you can leave blank for now.
Repeat 2.a
Name: Events info
Description: you can leave this blank
Repeat 2.b
Field Title: Event Title
Field Type: Text
Field Description: you can leave blank for now.
Field Title: Event Date
Field Type: Text
Field Description: you can leave blank for now.
Field Title: Tickets Cost
Field Type: Text
Field Description: you can leave blank for now.

Step 3
Navigate to the buddypress group that you want to add these pages & click admin > extras.

Note: You must be the wordpress admin or buddypress group admin to make these changes to the buddypress group.

Click “Add Page” on the group extras navigation to create your pages.

1st page: The Group Info page
-Page Title : Group Info
-Page Slug: group-info
-Page Content : This is the Group Info page

Repeat the process to add the 2nd and 3rd page
2nd: The Group News page
-Page Title : Group News
-Page Slug: group –news
-Page Content : This is the Group News page

Important: This page will display the link/tab to the events Info and all other page you may want to create.
3rd: The More Stuff page
Page Title : More Stuff
Page Slug: more-stuff
Page Content : This will be the link to all my other pages

Step 4
Click on the “All Fields” button on the group extras navigation.

Click on the drop down menu and select “Group Owner”, then click the import button.

Now select “Events info” and click the import button to import those fields as well.

*Note: You can drag and drop fields. The order in which they are listed here, is the order in which they will appear on the page.

4.b
IMPORTANT Click the “Edit Field” button.
Under “Should this field be displayed for public on “Group Info” page?” select “Display it” & save changes.
>>>>For this tutorial, repeat this step for all fields.

Step 5
Click on the “General” button on the group extras navigation.

Please specify the page name, where all fields will be displayed
Enter: Group Info
Please specify the page name, where all custom pages will be displayed>>
Enter: More Stuff
Click “Save Changes”

5.b
On the same page, enter/modify the following:
Do you want to make ” Group Info ” page public? Everyone will see this page. >> Show it
Please choose the layout for ” Group Info ” page >> Plain (field title and its data below)

5.c
Now Reorder the menu so that the last three items are:
-Group Info
-More Stuff
-Admin

Step 6
Click on the buddypress “Details” sub nav menu item on your buddypress group navigation. This menu item will always appear under the admin menu.

By selecting “Display it” in step 4.b, the fields will show up here, on the details page.

Name : Johnny Appleseed
Email : info@ Johnny Appleseed
Phone: 723-444-3242
Event Title: Music Fest 2014
Event Date: 2/3/2014
Tickets Cost : $10

Click Save Changes

Last Step
Refresh your page and you should see the Group Info & More Stuff in your buddypress main nav.

Click on “more stuff” and you will see the the Events Info page.

One more thing….what do I do with the language file after I edit it ? Do I rename it, put it in the wp-language folder?

Hi,

After you told me that you couldn’t replicate the bug, I figured it must be something that I was doing wrong…and it was. I really didn’t know how to use the plugin. After I tinkered with it for a while, it worked perfectly.

It is so awesome

If you would like me to, I can create a mini-manual with step-by-step instructions on how to create and display fields and pages.

This would really help to take any guesswork out of such a great plugin.

By the way
Is there any way to edit the code so that only the super admin can see the buttons (add page, add field)and all other configs? Dont want users messing things up.

The content shows up in the wp-admin area, but not on the About us page (in the group).

It would be great if this could be done. It would be extra nice if there could be a shortcode for each task. ex; registration, login, and lost password would each have their own shortcode.

Thanks!!!!

That resolved my problem.

One more question. Is there any way to automatically insert the user name of the user currently logged in.

[bc_member name=”%CurrentUser%” fields=”me”]
