Hi,

I’ve got pretty much everything running how it should now but the admin bar for logged in users (left side) still shows a link to the back end profile page.

Is there a way to remove this? They can edit profiles via the drop down on the right side of the admin bar using the front end which looks cleaner and has better options so this just causes confusion and makes the site look a bit messy.

many thanks!

I don’t want registered or non-registered users to got to http://www.abc.com/wp-admin
I want them to be redirected to profile page.

Issue
I work with trade associations and we want a simple way of hiding profile displays for members’ whose dues aren’t paid.

We’re hoping not to run through a third party plugin. This is both to cut costs and to limit complexity for our volunteer-led organization. (handling multiple plugins will make the site less easy for the non-technical volunteers to maintain).

Questions

• Is there plugin to hide a profile based on an Admin-field value?
  • (i.e. “Paid Dues?” with a boolean value like 0 or 1)
• If not, is there an easy way to prevent a profile from displaying through scripting?

I’m almost done with a custom implementation of WordPress 3.5.1. It’s a closed community and I have a pretty complex profile page and member directory. I can’t use BuddyPress completely because of specific requirements. For example, some profile attributes are not editable by members, but are required. These fields are populated during member signup, which is also a custom implementation of mine.

However, eventually I would like to use BuddyPress for most of it’s other community features, such as the activity stream, messaging, forums, etc.

Any ideas on how I can replace/integrate my profile implementation with BuddyPress? Here are some initial ideas:

• Override BP profile page with a child theme to use my custom php template to only display the profile not edit it. Is this possible? Then users would use my custom profile form which is in wp-admin.
• In addition to the above I could hook my profile page to save it’s data in BP’s xprofile tables instead of my custom table.
• Continue to use my custom implementation but only put the default name field in BP’s xprofile table to “connect” the two profiles together.

In addition to this, I played around with BP and my implementation and I couldn’t figure out how to filter 2 essential items: links to profile page and avatars.

1. I have a filter on get_avatar to display the member’s profile headshot, but I couldn’t get BP to display it when I filtered on bp_core_fetch_avatar or bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter.
2. My member profile page is at /profile/member using a custom specialized page template. Can I filter BP’s profile links to link to this instead of it’s profile page?

Thanks in advance for any input

Hi

I am running BP 1.7.1 and WP 3.5.1 have a theme (ProjectTheme by sitemile) with a child theme (Bounce by ghostpool). I had a developer help me set up this. I am not a developer and am a steep learning curve due to a small budget (read: can’t afford a developer at this point).

My problem is that no matter what theme I run I can make friend requests and receive both mail and WP toolbar notifications that I have a friend request, but when I try to accept I get 404 error. I have no way of accepting outside of the toobar, i.e. no page.

I have tried to figure out how to create a friends page and requests page, but it is beyond my skills. When I look on the FTP I can see that all the .php templates are there. When I look at page attributes and try to choose a template from the drop down I get the following options (I have put what I believe to be the controlling component in brackets): Default (bounce), Blank page (bounce theme), BuddyPress activity directory (BP), Login (WP), Page list (?) and project_special_page (project theme).

Irrespective of which theme I choose (including BP theme) I can not get friends or request pages to work.

How do I fix it? Do I need to create friends and request pages or should they generate automatically? Why are there .php templates, but they don’t show up in the page attributes template list and if I wanted them to show up there how do I do that?

I realise that these are not necessarily easy questions to answer in a post, but if someone can point me in the right direction via documentation or similar, I would appreciate it.

BP 1.8-beta1 is now available. If you’re a BP developer, translator, or site admin, this is a good time to start testing the next major release in your dev environments. Read more about it here: http://buddypress.org/2013/06/buddypress-1-8-beta1-is-now-available/

I’m having a tough time trying to get member profile fields. I believe any of the following should work, but the only info I can get from these is from bp_member_name(); Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

while ( bp_group_members() ) {
					bp_group_the_member(); 
					//$role = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Role' );
					//$role = xprofile_get_field_data('Role', bp_get_member_user_id());
					$role = bp_get_profile_field_data('user_id=' . bp_get_member_user_id() . '&field=Role');
					bp_member_name();
					echo ' role: ' . $role . '<br/>';
					if ($role == $value){
						echo 'found user with '. $selection . $value;
					}
				}

I am looking for some mods on this plugin.

Hi, i need to hire someone to help us out installing BP into Multisite.

I have my main site in the root and want to install a different theme for Buddypress. I don’t want to move the main site as the permalinks need to stay as they are.

Is this possible?

Hi All,

I want to protect all (if can choose from all then would be great) Buddypress pages from non logged in users.
From all I mean anything associated with Buddypress like forums, activity page, members etc and also other pages which might be created on fly.

From protection i mean the non-logged in users should not be able to see/browse the page even if they have the precise link to the page (only a logged in user should be able to see/browse it)

I have found this plugin, but donot know if this can protect my BP pages too.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-post-by-default/

and http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-buddypress/
but the private buddypress plugin seems like is no more supported and is compatible to WP 3.1 and BP 1.3

Can some one please help or share some ideas?

Thanks in Advance
