[NEW PLUGIN] BuddyPress real names

Buddypress uses the Name core field to sort alphabetically or by letter the members.

But maybe you are using this field as a “nickname” field…

Use this plugin to replace the members names by their real names !

Sorting members will also work following their real name.

Got problems with the admin menu of that plugin.

The BuddyPress admin panel does’nt expand, and instead, it goes to “wp-admin/bp_profile_real_names” which is the broken url of my plugin (and should be : wp-admin/admin.php?bp_profile_real_names).

The page itself is broken.

// Adds admin menu to WP Dashboard > BuddyPress

function bp_real_names_menu() {

add_submenu_page( ‘bp-general-settings’, __( ‘Real Names Options’, ‘bp_profile_real_names’ ), __( ‘Real Names Setup’, ‘bp_profile_real_names’ ), ‘manage-options’, ‘bp_profile_real_names’, “bp_real_names_options” );

}

add_action(‘admin_menu’, ‘bp_real_names_menu’);

Please help ! I don’t see where the problem is.

you have to install the plugin sitewide… that’s the only reason why the panel is not showing..

and i can say that having a bp-plugins folder would avoid a load of errors like this, making support for these addons a simplier life.

That’s stupid

Thanks, I had forgotten about his.

But more stranger, I don’t see anymore the fields names in the select boxes of the admin options after having installed the plugin… Weird, uh ? I didn’t change a thing in the code about this…

Does it work with the new versions of BuddyPress? I installed it and tried to go to the admin page but it did not work. I tried to open “wp-admin/bp_profile_real_names” but I got a message saying this page does not exist.
