@tomnikkola,

as you discovered already, the CSS trick is a poor solution.
Two solution are on hand.
A first one, which applies to all activity feeds.
Basically the below snippet handles globally the activties output. You simply remove the activity(ies) you don’t want to see from the list. Note that almost all activity types are listed.
Add it to child functions.php or to bp-custom.php

function demo_parse( $retval ) {
	// existing BP/bbP activities
	// remove the one you wont to see from that list
	$retval['action'] = '
		activity_comment,
		activity_update,
		bbp_topic_create,
                bbp_reply_create,
		friendship_created,
		joined_group,
		last_activity,
		new_avatar,
		new_blog_post, 	
		new_member,
		updated_profile
	';	

	return $retval;
	
	}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'demo_parse' );

Codex:

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

The second solution, is to use a child-theme with a modified activity loop. This let you handle finer condition for each user.

Read this tut how you can do that.

The solution is given in the second stackexchange’s answer !

Go here to search inside BuddyPress

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

@trobertson82,

use this function bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Add this to bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php

function whats_new_my_friend() {
	if ( bp_is_user_friends_activity() ) :
		bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );	
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_body', 'whats_new_my_friend' );

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Sorry, i have no idea how to do that.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

That’s a pure wp question !
See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_userdata

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @david-ar,

consider first https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

then read here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo

and finally some snippet, http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/82239/make-display-name-unique

As alternative, it exist a wp plugin called Credible Names

Hi @maelga,

Querying by member type is explained here:

Member Types

Then, you’ll have to create a custom function to get a navbar specific to each member type.

Members Navigation Menus

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

re check all your settings, permalinks and htaccess

You may have a redirect problem because you installed WP/BP in /voyages/ directory

read also this and follow the links for more information:

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

I don’t know if this is any indication of the issue but no pages were generated during the installation of the plugin, I had to set them all up manually.

The answer is in your first topic:
I have deleted the original copy of BuddyPress from my site and the associated pages.

If you haven’t removed BP from DB, via plugins dashboard > delete before reuploading a new copy it’s normal that you have to recreate the pages manually.

The adventure starts here:

Installation in WordPress Multisite

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

That’s a recent function i didn’t know ! It’s filtrable, so you haven’t to hack that core file.

See also in same file member_can_edit function, related to bp_moderate capability, used for group admins, but i doubt you can apply it to “editor”…

FYI: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/bp_moderate-capability/

Additionnally, see this snippet written for WP only, if you can combine something:

Let Editor Manage Users in WordPress

I’ve already tested all this, but i got the same result as you. But i’m not a dev. 🙂

Good luck !

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

This is actually not possible. Is a work on progress: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5121

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

White page is generally due to a php error. Check your code or revert back.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

About the bbpress error:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/minor-debug-notice-with-buppypress-version-2-2-beta/

Notice are less important.
See on respective wplms-assignments and vibe-customtypes support forums how to repair.

If you’re on a production site, deactivate debug mode in wp-config and the mesaages will disappear.

And try to be carefull: never publish your server root path on a public forum.

hi @billmann,

to remove only last activity date from profile header:

function bpfr_core_get_last_activity( $last_activity_date ) {
   if ( empty( $last_activity_date ) )
      // we do nothing
         $last_active = '';
   else
   $last_active = sprintf( $string, bp_core_time_since( $last_activity_date ) );
 }
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_core_get_last_activity' );

To remove all last active instance (profile, group & member directory,…), you simply remove the filter

function bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', $last_active, $last_activity_date, $string );
}
add_filter( 'bp_core_get_last_activity', 'bpfr_remove_last_activity_filter' );

Add to your child-theme functions.php or to bp-custom.php

bp_core_get_last_activity function is in buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php:1418

Note that site wide activity is not affected by these functions.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Do you have ms defines in wp-config ?
define( 'WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true );

Have you setup pretty permalinks (something other than default) ? Also htaccess may be wrong.
Create a new one.
This can be done by removing the old htaccess and (re)saving permalinks, WP will give you new params or create htaccess for you.
Also are all salt keys in wp-config ? Try to remove the existing and add new one. Take them from here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

@stegtflesk,
depends where you want to show these option values : in or outside of a profile.

If in, you create filter function containing at least

function function_name() {
$val = ( 'FIELD_NAME', $user_id ); // custom field name; case sensitive

if($val == 'option_1') : // option name
//do something...
endif;

if($val == 'option_2') :
// do something...
endif;

//if etc
}
add_filter( 'my_custom_filter', 'function_name', 9, 2 ); // , priority, $val

and in the template, you add this filter at the appropriate place, by using
do_action( 'my_custom_filter' );

If ouside of profile, you need a user_id

$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
$val = xprofile_get_field_data( 'field_name', $user_id );

if($val == 'option_1')
do something

if($val == 'option_2')
do something

return $val;

add_filter....

In both case, you can use an existing BP template filter or a custom one.

Hope this help.

@puffyjoe, thank you for sharing your solution ! 🙂

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Hi

instead using a link field type, use a normal text box and harcode the link to social account in the function. That way, the user has only to enter his account name and the link is build when the data is on front-end.

profile fields are stripped
profile datas are made clickable by default for search purpose in BP
We don’t want this for icons or when linking to a social network.

Here an usage example which use fontawesome to add the icons. That the general idea, change it to your need.

function bpfr_socialize_profile () {	

echo '<br>'; 

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><?php echo $data; ?></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><?php echo $data; ?></a>		

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

Hi @azizul-karim-aec,

to add a profile field like biography to profiles, you have to activate xprofile component in BP settings.

This and much more is all explained on the Codex.

User Extended Profiles

it just showing membername|sitename This is not a issue, but intended so by default.
membername|sitename is the page title when on a member profile
members|sitename is the page title when on the member directory – where “members” is the title you give to the member page. BP create automatically this page and use “members” as title at first install, but you can modify it.

Aside, you’re using admin as user name. I strongly recommend you to change this.

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

Do you see warnings or notices when you activate debug mode in wp-config ?

Do you use a cache ? Yes ? So clear it.

Also, clear your brwoser history. In many cases, permission deny is a session error, which comes up when you try to login with two different usernames with two different role. (admin vs. subscriber zum beispiel)

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

hi @revadigital,

not sure what you call buddyblog… The blog is part of WordPress, not BuddyPress.

Can you give site url, theme, list of plugins and install type (network or single) please ?

Found a site which seems to be yours. If it is the case, you’re using Frisco for BP, an old theme. This theme hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

Since BP 1.9 (dec 2013), you can use almost use any existing theme.
If you’re in a test phase, use simply 2015. Once anything is working, you can search a theme. 🙂

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

no need to be a programmer to apply a patch. You’re still know how to copy/paste, i’m sure ! 🙂

the number refer to the line number. If you use a code editor like notepad++ you’ll see them.

+ or – is self explanatory: + is added, – is removed.

Depending the patch size, you should be very attentive and concentrated when copy/pasting.

Or you use the heavy pro method, explained on WP’s Codex:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/working-with-patches/apply-a-patch-using-tortoisesvn/

… but for one or two lines, it’s a bit to much IMO !

[@danbp Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

When the door is closed, you always enter by the window ? 🙂

This is the impossible thing (on backend):
1. create a new user with basic information

The WordPress login process use ONLY a username, a mail and a password.
As long as this is not handled and correctly introduced to DB, you can’t before or during this process, enter anything related to a given user from back office.

WP register first the user.
Once the user is registered, he receive an unique ID. It is this ID who allow BP to add additionnal informations.

Or you allow front-end registering or you have to use the 2 step work from back-end: register + extended profile information.
