hello @optiqal,
using snippets from 2012 leads to errors in many case. 😉

Here’s a new version of what you used. I tested it on BP 2.1 and 2013 theme.
(original code comes from here) As it contained errors i corrected them and adjusted the code to get content everywhere.

/* we're building the nav button and add it to the profile main menu */
function mb_bp_profile_menu_posts() {
	global $bp;
	bp_core_new_nav_item(
	array(
	'name' => 'My Posts',
	'slug' => 'posts', 
	'position' => 11, 
	'default_subnav_slug' => 'published', 
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_posts'
	)
	);
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_bp_profile_menu_posts', 301 );

/* we're building 2 sub item
 * the first is the one showing by default
 */

function mb_bp_profile_submenu_posts() {
	global $bp;
	if(!is_user_logged_in()) return '';
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => 'Published',
	'slug' => 'published', 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'] . '/' ,
	'parent_slug' => $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'],
	'position' => 10,
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_posts' //the function is declared below
	) 
	); 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => 'Drafts',
	'slug' => 'drafts', 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'] . '/' ,
	'parent_slug' => $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'],
	'position' => 20,
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_drafts' //the function is declared below
	) 
	); 
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_bp_profile_submenu_posts', 302 );

/* here we control our 1st sub item
 * first function is the screen_function
 * second function displays the content
*/
function mb_author_posts(){	
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'mb_show_posts' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}
function mb_show_posts() {
	echo 'Function to Generate the displayed users posts.';
	// add yout stuff here
}

/* here we control our 2nd sub item
 * first function is the screen_function
 * second function displays the content
 */
function mb_author_drafts() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'mb_show_drafts' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}
function mb_show_drafts() {
	echo 'Another function to Generate the displayed users drafts.';
	// add yout stuff here
}

@yoshimitsu1234 @dromy,

1) create your social fields on xprofile
2) give them a name like Twitter or Facebook
3) tell the user to enter their social username
4) install font-awesome or similar to get nice social icons

This function works as of BP 1.7 and was tested on BP 2.0.1. Add it to bp-custom.php or your (child) theme’s functions.php

Icons are showed under @username | active since at the right of the user avatar on the profile header.

Remove the text Test… if you want to use only font-awesome icons or replace it with an image or text of your choice

function bpfr_socialize_profile () {	

echo '<br>'; // don't remove !

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Twitter ' ) ) : 
?>

<a href="http://twitter.com/<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Twitter', bp_displayed_user_id() );?>/" target="_blank" title="Twitter"><i class="icon-twitter">  </i>Test Twitter</a>&nbsp;

<?php endif;

if ( $data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Facebook ' ) ) : 
?>

<a href="http://facebook.com/<?php echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Facebook', bp_displayed_user_id() );?>/" target="_blank" title="Facebook"><i class="icon-facebook"></i>Test FB</a>		

<?php		
endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_socialize_profile' );

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Will this help you ? Add it to your theme’s functions.php

function bpfr_my_directory_setup_nav() {
	echo'<li><a href="#main">Encore</a></li>'; // link to what you want
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'bpfr_my_directory_setup_nav' );

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

It’s a field builder plugin, not a filter, so no it wouldn’t help you. BuddyPress already do this (building fields and fields section) for xprofile component, so such a plugin is not to use with BP.

Conditionnal fields is an old and remaining “must have” thing, but the state of the art is far away i guess.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-conditional-profile-fields-available-now/

i would take a try over Gravity Form at your place.

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Where do you use this code ?

Read here and see especially the recommendation at the end of the post:

Members Loop

or view more here:

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Are you aware about css styling ?
The css goes into your theme style.css, not in the core file.

Please read a little the codex before asking for such basic things !
Read about child-theme and buddypress customization. On BP’s codex and WP codex too.
You can also learn a lot by only reading topics on this forum.

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

I confirm: the code example doesn’t work from within bp-custom.php. But he works in theme/functions.php

And if all is goig well, you’ll have the right result after that. 😉

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Both example mentionned by imath on the codex are working. And the output goes nice when you’re on a group page. Just tested them with 2014 and the whole code in functions.php…

But can you be more explicit of what you want ?
Do you mean the group directory menu only ? Like this:
| All Groups (3) | My Groups (1) | My item |

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

see this discussion:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-a-subnav-with-new-page-content-to-the-profileactivity-page/

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

This filter will remove any members count everywhere. Goes into bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

add_filter ('bp_get_total_member_count', '__return_false');

Now you see a count with zero. But this count is hardcoded in a span. So you can hide this with css:

#activity-all span, 
#members-all span{
	display:none;	
}

See html/css details in index.php of each folder in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

are all (8) salt keys in place in wp-config ?
Do you have also something like this ?

/* Multisite */
define(‘MULTISITE’, true);
define(‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’, true); // false if sub directories
define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘your-site.com’);
define(‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/’);
define(‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);
define(‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1);

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Anyway an image says more as words (in our case).

Check if this plugin can help you:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-tabs/

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

hi @pstidsen,

not sure i understand what you want. But if your goal is to fetch a xprofile data and show it somewhere on your site (aka outside of the profile loop), you can use a function like these:

function pstidsen() {
         // we need the user_id first (mandatory outside a loop)
	$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
        // now we fetch the field data (separate fied id's by comma)
	$my_field = xprofile_get_field_data('4, 41,55', $user_id);
	// we built the output
	echo '<div class="authorinfo">'. $my_field . '</div>';
	
}
// the new hook
add_action( 'show_pstidsen', 'pstidsen' );
// finally add this placeholder in the appropriate template
<?php do_action( 'show_pstidsen'); ?> 

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Sorry, it’s not clear at all ! 😉 Can you make a mockup of what you want ?

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

SEO best practices are more marketings philosophy questions before technical solutions.
By default WP/BP display correctly their content. Some learning about permalinks and tags usage would be good starters for a correct ranking and site search.

Good SEOing is a full time job and using a plugin to achieve this job is not the solution, but only an easier way to handle some parts.

That said, the most popular SEO plugin for WP/BP is probably Yoast. Googling about this produces many answers and good advices.

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Which language you use on your site ?

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

On xprofile component, the default field group is called Name and contains only one field who will contain the username. This group is already tabed on a profile page and is the only group field who appears on the register page.

Now, on the xprofile admin you can add as many fields and group fields you want, and you can set each field to different visibility.
These new field can be grouped and each group you create will automatically be tabed on a profile page.

https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/extended-profiles/

If you mean showing groups on the profile, this also made automatically by BP. On each profile, you have (if exist) the groups the member belongs to.

If all this is not what you mean, be more explicit 😉

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

In your first topic you asked: It is possible to turn off this notification?

Yes it is, and the solution is in the first link. The other link is given as reference to the code, who is in a core file. Such core files should never been modified directly.

You need to study a bit WP and BP codex to understand how to achieve this, and learn a bit more about buddypress customization. You are also free to hire a developer by posting at http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or somewhere else.

One easy way to begin is to search and read this forum first i guess.

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

hi @jjjaay9,

BuddyPress (BP) is a community plugin (a bundle of 8 distinct components and many other features) for WordPress. These components are all optionnal, but in any case, publishing is the territory of WordPress.
If you want to allow front-end publishing for your users, to avoid them going directly into the admin, search some plugin on the WP plugin repo or use a theme who provide such facility.

For example consider the theme P2, it probably contains anything you listed. (so far i remember)

User guide is here.

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Group exclusion doesn’t work on a single install for the moment (only on MS).
More advice on this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5650

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

Hi @paton400,

give this a try. You can the function to your child-theme’s functions.php or into bp-custom.php

//Remove Buddypress members search 
function bpfr_remove_member_search_form( $search_form_html){
    return '';
}
add_filter('bp_directory_members_search_form', 'bpfr_remove_member_search_form'  );

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

@doremdou,

Surprise! 😀
Here are two functions to achieve your needs. The first can handle several comment possibilities on different activity types.
You can use the second if you only want to deactivate ONE activity type.
May this help !

If you need to deactivate comments for several activity types.

function bpfr_remove_updates_commenting($can_comment) {
    //defining the context
	if($can_comment == true) :
		$can_comment = bp_get_activity_action_name();
	
	//just in case of...
	if(empty($can_comment))
	return;
		
	//handling the activity types we want to disable
	//to get other activity type names, go to the DB and check the "type" column in xx_bp_activity table	
	switch($can_comment){
	
		case 'bbp_reply_create': // type name
			$can_comment = ! ('bbp_reply_create');
		break;
		
		case 'activity_update': // type name
			$can_comment = ! ('activity_update');
		break;
		 
	}
	//action !
	return $can_comment;
	//context end here
	endif;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_can_comment', 'bpfr_remove_updates_commenting');

This function handles only one activity type: bbp_create_reply. In this example, a topic activity can no more be commented from within the activity screen.

function bpfr_remove_bbp_reply_activity_commenting($can_comment) {
if ($can_comment == true) {
	$can_comment = ! ('bbp_reply_create' == bp_get_activity_action_name());
}
return $can_comment;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_can_comment', 'bpfr_remove_bbp_reply_activity_commenting');

Finally I opened a ticket !

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5700

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

it’s not the theme
it’s not the translation
seems to be somthing unstable with bp-loader
sometimes i have things translated, sometimes not ! Stuning ! 👿

[@danbp Participant 12 years, 4 months ago]

@shanebp,
forcing a translation is not the best solution, even if it is a solution.
Mine by hacking the core file is not better, as we loose it at the next update.
Your function won’t be loosed, but it should be used by caution, as gettext pass a second time on ALL strings. It’s not dramatical to force the translation for one string, but what will happen if someone use this trick for 20, 50 or more strings ? Performance trouble !

I’ll track this further before opening a ticket.
