After looking at the DB, it seems as though the user_nicename was being unset when setting the display_name.

What I ended up doing was forcing an update of the display_name & the user_nicename and this helped fix the issue.

It was because I was updating my display name via wp_update_user that the profile page wasn’t showing.

So i guess the real questions is, why is it that when I update the display_name via wp_update_user, the profile url isnt updated?

Hey,

Were you ever able to get this fixed. Im having issues with another language.

@mikeboltonca

I know its been awhile but were you ever able to figure this out without changing the core files?

Thanks,

@Hugo64 Dose the Buddypress Upload Avatar Ajax plugin work with BP 3.0+

That might be your opinion, but I going to disagree. Why make a round trip to the DB if you already have the info in your object?

As for your filter, I have checked it out, but decided to go a different route that made a little more sense to me, then having to override more templates.

I already override: single-bp-email.php so in the template itself I just replace the function bp_email_the_salutation() with my own function. I added some logic as needed, and now it works OK.

I say OK because I am still unable to override {{recipient.name}}. I supply bp_send_email() with a WP_USER, and it’s a little frustrating that it does not take the info from the object.

Thanks for the direction though, you have helped me come to a solution that is sufficient for now.

I will try and give it try once I get a chance. For now I am happy with Brajesh’s BP plugin.

Thank you

I belive the “issue” is here:

class-bp-email-recipient.php:104 
$wp_name = wp_specialchars_decode( bp_core_get_user_displayname( $this->user_object->ID ), ENT_QUOTES );

Even though we have a WP_USER object we still try and go and retrieve the user from the DB by user ID.

Anyway to get around this/have this changed/submit a request?

Thanks

[binaryfabric]

Thank you I will look into that.

[binaryfabric]

I ended up going with Brajesh’s BP Activity Shortcode they do fantastic work on plugins for buddypress

[binaryfabric]

This worked for me, thanks

[binaryfabric]

I will look into both options to figure out what works best for me.

Thank you for your help

I like it but their are some features missing, like forcing the loading of hidden posts.
Maybe I can take it and build upon that, I dont know.

From the lack of replies I’m assuming their isn’t a straight forward approach at replicating the exact structure of the activity (or even other aspects or the plugin).

Thanks.

[binaryfabric]

I will check it out and report back. Thank you.

[binaryfabric]

I guess it would be something like bp_buffer_template_part( ‘activity/index’, null, false ), maybe something little more customizable with filters and stuff.

Thanks
