BuddyPress.org

Before diving into technical or feature suggestions since as a developer I’m automatically wired to go via that route, I thought about asking non-technical people about the product, BuddyPress, itself.

I recently participated in the WordCamp US and had the chance of talking to a few people, besides conversations I had online (Slack, etc). I t…[Read more]

This requestion seems similar to this issue we got here: https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST/issues/449#issuecomment-1196139043

> I’m able to use the provided function in that documentation article and get the proper response.

Awesome! Sorry for not seeing that at first. In my tests, I always get an array for bp_get_option( 'bp-active-components' ), so I did not see it as a possible bug at first.

Glad we sorted this out! =D

Could you also type cast this as an array? On line 98.

$active_components = apply_filters( 'bp_active_components', (array) bp_get_option( 'bp-active-components' ) );

I think this is coming as a string where it should be an array.

@wcholbi Odd! Could you var_dump the $active_components as suggested below?

var_dump( $active_components );
if ( 'optional' !== $type && ! empty( $components['core'] ) ) {
$active_components['core'] = '1';
}

@wcholbi Thank you for trying that again.

I’m still unable to replicate this issue but I think I know why that’s happening. Could you apply this patch and test it?

`
if ( ‘optional’ !== $type && ! empty( $components[‘core’] ) ) {
$active_components[‘core’] = ‘1’;
}
`

@wcholbi Could you share the error you are getting after applying my patch?

@wcholbi I’m able to replicate the issue and I have a fix for this here: https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST/pull/450

Thanks for reporting the bug.

The activation key is necessary to avoid spam users in your community. It is an intergral part of BuddyPress and I wouldn’t recommend removing it.

The main reason to use the hook is in case another plugin or yourself try to reinstall the emails. If one does that, that email you showed creating will be deleted and you will have to recreate it by hand again. That doesn’t seem to be desireable.

Also, creating via the hook, you can use the correct name when sending the email. You say you read…[Read more]

Hi! Hard to say only looking from the outsite. To really confirm what happned requires looking at the code and database. So, I guess you won’t get valuable feedback here.

I’d recommend asking your developer to check the code. See if something changed, a plugin or custom code. Because with the provided information, it is unlikely someone will do…[Read more]

Hi Folks!

I agree it is that easy to add a new situation. That requires custom code and a bit of knowleger of BuddyPress internal. Also that’s not documented anywhere. This is just not an area that a lot of devs look for.

Anyway, fair to say you can hook into bp_core_install_emails and install your own email. I recommend you look at the code to…[Read more]

If there is, I’m not aware of it. I’d recommend searching on https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or googling it.

I’d confirm if your fields validation is front-end or back-end. Also, check the pages that are open to registration and the BP REST API, if some plugin is opening for signups.

There is a way, but requires custom code/development. BuddyPress is flexible enough to allow you to do whatever you want.

Oh, I see! You can use the same hook and create your own email doing what you just wrote.

I think this is more of a preference than a requimenent. One could think that if the user is already logged in, he already has the necessary permissions to delete it, so why ask the password another time.

Social medias sites like Facebook and similars, ask that to make it harder for a user to delete their own account.

So I don’t think this is a…[Read more]

This is already the default behavior. Here is the code that fires a email when someone request to add someone as a friend: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/d44e81fd40e4e9e48fc599836d311cf2752f9f34/src/bp-friends/bp-friends-functions.php#L858

I’d recommend you to confirm if something is disabling that. Maybe the emails are not set up…[Read more]

I’d recommend searching here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/

Could you elaborate on that? Don’t understand the request.
