Hi,

it works like a charm ! Have you registered the default plugin settings ?
Have you visited another profile than yours ?

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

here a CSS trick which let you wrap the whole fields into 1 column:
https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/buddypress-registration-page-1-column-layout

Or
could be made with this premium plugin: https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-ajax-registration/

Or
manually by coding your own reg template

Hi,

you have better chance to get an answer on bbPress support.

Also, updating BP to 2.6.2 would be a good idea, as some email bugs have been solved since 2.5.1

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

@renix,

the first solution would be to use a group blog, but it may be a heavy project. So, IMHO, best way would be to create a plugin and using Group Extension API.

You can also check for an eventual existing plugin who fit to or narrow your goal and customize it.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

color scheme’s are usually defined by the theme. Positioning elements needs some ID’s or class correctly defined and a medium knowledge for HTML & CSS handling.

if you create a child theme, you can change a lot of things related to BuddyPress, including CSS.

Read through the theme guidelines on BP Codex to get a general overview and check also the documentation of your theme.

Unfortunately, you use a premium theme and, as we have no access to his code, we can’t assist you more for it. Any questions related to it should be asked on your theme support.

But don’t hesitate to search the BuddyPress forum using keywords like css, template and so on…

Sorry, I haven’t tested the plugin i mentionned. You’re right it doesn’t show a button but simply display favorites differently.

OK, here is a snippet you can add to bp-custom.php which will add a Favorite button to blog posts.

Note
the function works with currrent BP version (2.6.2).
The grey side of this solution is that you have to use a child-theme and to tweak a little the way the button will show. This is very theme dependant and would not be used the same way if you use ie. Twenty Sixteen or ie. Graphene.

While using 2016, you can simply echo the button on the template.
If you use a more complex theme, you could probably use an existing action hook of the theme. This means that you need a function who hooks into such a predefined placeholder.

In any case, the file to modify is your theme’s single.php. Copy it into the child theme to get:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/single.php

If you don’t see any do_action( ‘something’ ), you add the following in an appropriate place:

echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
Certainly inside the post loop, and probably below the post and before the comments.

If you see some action hooks in single.php, you add this function to bp-custom:

function fav_buttons() {
  echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
}
add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template', 'fav_buttons' );

You need to change graphene_before_comment_template to the action name used by your theme.

add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template'

Hope to be clear.

And here the function for the button:

function get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post ) {
global $bp, $activities_template, $post;

	// only show the button to logged-in users
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
	return '';
	}
	
	$activity_id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array(
		'user_id' => $post->post_author,
		'type' => 'new_blog_post',
		'component' => 'blogs',
		'item_id' => 1,  // blog_ID
		'secondary_item_id' => $post->ID // post_ID
		) );
	
	if ( ! $activity_id ) {
	return '';
	}

	bp_has_activities(); // update $activities_template with user's favs
	$old_value = false;
		
	if ( isset( $activities_template->activity->id ) ) {
		$old_value = $activities_template->activity->id;
		$activities_template->activity->id = $activity_id;
	} else {
		$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	
	// build the template
	$code = '';
	$code .= '<div class="activity-meta">'."\n";

		if ( ! bp_get_activity_is_favorite() ) {
		// if not favorited, add a "Favorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_favorite_link( ).'" class="button fav bp-secondary-action" title="Add to my favorites">Favorite</a>'."\n";
		
		} else {
		
		// else, add "Unfavorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link( ).'" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action" title="Remove from my favorites">Unfavorite</a>'."\n";
		
		// Bonus button: "View all my favorites"
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'activity/favorites/" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action">View all my favs</a>'."\n";
		}
		
	// closing .activity-meta
	$code .= '</div>'."\n"; 

	if ( false !== $old_value ) {
		$activities_template->activity->id = $old_value;
	} else {
		//$activities_template->activity = null;
$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	return $code;

}

And voila !

Hi @donsauce,

there is no such setting in BuddyPress, but it exist a plugin !
See:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-views/

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Salut,

members are deleted 3 or 4 days after their registration
Perhaps simply because they deleted their account ? 😉
Check Settings > BuddyPress > Options
Suppression de compte []Les membres peuvent supprimer eux-mêmes leur compte

or some custom function in theme or bp-custom ?

To know if it is related to theme, Force Photo or any other plugin, deactivate it(them) and see if it change something.

Nothing better at the moment.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hummm, now it’s me who doesn’t understand !

You asked first
is there any way we can add the existing buddypress favorites to the blog posts

and now you say
I wish to have it in blogs – so […] I can press Favorite

Sorry if i misunderstand your request, english is not my mother language… Do you want to add a [favorite] button to each blog post ? Or do you want to remove some filters from activity favorites ?

Activity → Favorites

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Please note that you don’t need to add your site url in each of your topic. It’s useless and considered as a bad practice when nobody asked specifically for it.

Making a WordPress & BuddyPress Site Private, the Right Way

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

if you can code, it won’t be a big work.

Perhaps taking the problem from another side would be a better solution ?

Each blog post has an author. Presuming you want to show the author’s favorites ? In this case, instead of re-building the fav list on the blog template, you could link to this author profile, directly on his fav tab.

I have a shortcode ready for this, in case of you want use that solution.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

Which group menu are you talking about ?
How do you add the link ? And why ? Because, you haven’t to do that on a standard MS install, even for private groups. Sorry, but this point is a bit unclear.

Review your forum settings:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Group Settings and Roles

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

your question relates to bbPress. You’ve better chance to get answers by asking on bbpress forum.

Note: linking to sites requiring registration to see comment forms to illustrate what you want is not cool at all. You’ve better to make screenshots.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hallo @mmirlach,

I’ve activated the toolbar bubble in the settings… What are you talking about ? Such a setting doesn’t exist in BuddyPress.

You can get any css information you need for this by:
– right click on the page where you see this bubble and check the source code
or
– use Firebug or a similar tool.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Is the child theme only good for Buddypress editing? YES

Or can I use it to edit another plugin as well? NO
Plugins don’t have (at the moment) a child-plugin.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

no need to triple post. One topic is enought. (i deleted the 2 others).

You have trouble with a plugin, and this plugin has is own support. You have to ask there and give more details about your install (WP/BP version, used theme name, plugin list).

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi @ma3ry,

the issue comes probably from the membership plugin who conflicts with BP registration.

In brief, what ever this plugin does(or not), when BP is activated, you have on registration process the WP login routine (username, email, password) and the little mandatory Name field coming from BP.

That’s all.
What probably happen, is that you don’t have this Name field on Single Membership registering…
Because of this, BP doesn’t know about the user existence and can’t fire the additionnal xprofile fields.

That the first diagnostic.
A second one may be more complex, as it is related to the fact you changed the php version and using WP 4.6.x

You certainly made a big DB dump before that change. And also a new WP install – or at least, a WP update. If you made just a WP upgrade, it would be ok to a certain point.

If you started a new install after the php change, the problem can be in the old datas you injected to the new DB. But no panic, it’s only an hypothese at the moment.

So it would be great you give details about this and if possible your server configuration.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi @bastianernst

guess you made some mistake while activating BuddyPress and using your theme. Probably you have also some other plugins in use ?

So, aside from reading absolutely throuhg the install BP documentation, i strongly recommand that you check the site fonctionnalities by using only:

WP+BP+Twenty Sixteen theme. No other plugin, no custom code.

If you allowed registration, you have a login widget (the one coming with WP) you can activate in the sidebar. Do this for testing the password change (click on lost password ?) once active.

Also on the basic install, you should have all BP menus in the usermenu (top right corner) and on a user profile.

Once anything ok on this install, upload BP Default Data plugin and activate it. This will add fake datas in all parts of BP, so you have content everywhere that let you test completely the site.

Go through and see how it works.

If all seems ok, you can then activate the final theme. Simply remind that BP pages should be empty, without any content or template model.
Don’t forget to set up pretty permalinks (whatever but by default) and with a little luck, you’ll be on the right path.

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

it’s wrong !

1) You add only copies of the files you want to modify. The original templates are in
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/

2) the path in a child should respect the original directories, like this
wp-content/themes/graphene-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

hi Henry @henrywright,

wp-content/languages/plugins/buddypress-en_GB.mo

this path is the one used by GlotPress’s official automated translation updates for BP (and any other plugin translation if it exist). Same behave for the languages/themes/ directory.

If you add a customized po/mo there, it will be overwritten at next update !

Since i18n new improvements in WP 4.6, the only way to keep the integrity of a custom translation actually, so far i know, is to use this plugin: wpt-custom-mo-file, who allows you to override and use your own translation files for any WordPress themes or plugins.

Just to let you know. 🙂

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

@venutius,

that trick stopped to work since BP 2.6
The new syntax to use from now on is given here:

Navigation API

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

For 1), it’s no easy to do, if even it is doable ! Activities have already a filter for posts, but nothing for post categories. Main reason is given in this 6 years old topic – but technically still available i think:

More recently, slightly different, but just in case of.

Hi,

perhaps try this
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-default-subscription-status/

[@danbp Participant 10 years ago]

Hi,

sorry, less is more ! 😉
Try something like this within a function. The way to get the user_id depends where you insert the link(ie. in or outside members loop, blog, an so on).

if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
	$user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
} else {
	$user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
}
$username = bp_get_displayed_user_fullname( $user_id ); 
//$username = bp_core_get_username( $user_id );

echo '<a href=" '.wp_nonce_url( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) ).' " rel="nofollow">@'.$username .'</a>';
