Copy bp_core_widget_members() and bp_core_widget_members_control() functions from the file bp-core-widgets.php into a new file. Rename the widget functions from “members” to “newmembers” or whatever. Remove everything in the div “item-options” if you don’t need ajax option choices.
Add these two lines to the end of the file:
register_sidebar_widget( __(‘New Members’, ‘buddypress’), ‘bp_core_widget_newmembers’);
register_widget_control( __(‘New Members’, ‘buddypress’), ‘bp_core_widget_newmembers_control’ );
Save the file as “newmembers.php” into mu-plugins. Next time you login the widget will be listed on the widgets page ready to be placed on the front page.
Hey I tried this with the latest version 1.0 release and WPMU 2.7.1 and nothing shows up in my widgets screen. Basically I\’ve just done this:
1) Copied the bp-blogs-register-widgets.php file
2) Renamed it to ds-blogs-register-widgets.php
3) Changed function to be ds_blogs_register_widgets()
4) Changed all function names to correspond with the wp_register_sidebar_widget()
Yet my new widget is not shown in the widget list.
Is this information posted here still supposed to work in the current release versions?
@Derosion-
Try placing your new widget in /mu-plugins/, not the /plugins/ folder.
