BuddyPress.org

Thanks, r-a-y! Am giving it a try now…

Worked like a charm!! Many thanks.

Hi r-a-y,

Thanks. I was hoping not to have to use this function, because alot of our users are getting to know each other and are sending messages.

The problem is that someone keeps creating accounts and spamming all of our members (well over 100) and I have to keep going in and deleting all of the messages. And I have to watch the user signups like a hawk.

So, anyway, this was my first time using it. I changed the functions, but still can’t get it working. I think it may be how I’m adding it to my bp-custom.php. Here’s what I’ve added:

function bp_send_message_to_friend_button() {

global $bp;

if ( bp_is_home() || !is_user_logged_in() || !friends_check_friendship($bp->loggedin_user->id,$bp->displayed_user->id) )

return false;

$ud = get_userdata( $bp->displayed_user->id );

?>

<div class="generic-button">

<a class="send-message" title="<?php _e( 'Send Message', 'buddypress' ) ?>" href="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->messages->slug ?>/compose/?r=<?php echo $ud->user_login ?>"><?php _e( 'Send Message', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</div>

<?php

}

But I’m a bit confused. Shouldn’t it start with <?php and end with ?>

Thanks for your help,

Hi Kunal17,

This pods thing looks like a great idea. I’m going to look into it and will send you a message once I’ve checked it out.

Jes

Totally clear. Thank you so much!

Yes. Actually, I found a WP plugin called Twitconnect; not sure if it works on BP yet, I may have to check it out.

Also, http://twitterfic.com, which is included in the BP showcase, has this feature working–again, not sure how.

Hi Jeff,

It looks like what you’ve suggested.

R-a-y, I’ll check it out.

Okay, still no luck! Can anyone help us get the buddybar added to the forums page? I am currently using the search/login bar, but really need the buddybar to be included.

Based on the help posted, here’s what I’ve done:

1. Added this code to the beginning of the bb-config.php file (I have WPMU installed at the root):

require_once( $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] . ‘/wp-blog-header.php’ );

2. Added this code to the bbPress footer (before the closing /html tag):

<?php wp_footer() ?>

3. Added this code to the bbPress header (before the /head tag):

<?php wp_head() ?>

4. Added this code to my bbPress header theme:

<div id=”search-login-bar”>

<?php bp_search_form() ?>

<?php bp_login_bar() ?>

<div class=”clear”></div>

</div>

The result: I am getting a white space above the bbPress header where the bar should be and the login bar is showing up in that space. But there is no CSS flowing (I changed the buddybar color) and I don’t see any of the buddybar menu items.

Hope this helps those who are newly joining the conversation.

Thanks!

@Jeff,

I am still having trouble. Didn’t want to keep reminding you; there are other people on the board who need help also.

But yes, I am still trying to get this resolved.

Anyone?
