Thanks. It turns out bp_before_get_suggestions_parse_args was the filter I was looking for, applied to the bp_core_get_suggestions() function’s args. Since it’s called from AJAX, you need to parse $_SERVER[ 'HTTP_REFERER' ] to find out where it’s being called from, but then you can pass args through to BP_Members_Suggestions or BP_Groups_Member_Sug…[Read more]

I was thinking of developer docs rather than guides to the user interface – but thanks anyway.

As I said, it’s too erratic to replicate easily. At the moment I can’t get it to do anything other than suggest group members, which is what I expected. But before I posted this it was sometimes the list missed group members, sometimes it included all site members. Sometimes it was different in updates compared to comments, sometimes not.

I’ve looked. I was looking for more information, and have searched to no avail. It’s not documented anywhere?

That’s crazy. Why are there loads of code samples out there, very close variations on what I’ve got, with no mention of this need to stick code into the main activity template? I assume you mean members/single/activity.php – it’s the one being displayed despite me specifying members/single/plugins in the subnav screen function callback. I’ll work…[Read more]

This hack works, though not sure why it’s necessary. Just inside the loop:

global members_template;
if ( empty( $members_template->member->user_id ) ) :
$members_template->member->user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
endif;

Thanks @henrywright. I’m discovering a few bits that are ‘utility’ styles that I’m copying over (e.g. screen reader text class). It’d be really useful if things like this were in a separate ‘core’ include for people who want to strip back to a minimum. Anyway, I’m ploughing ahead, I’ll keep an eye on the markup.

Thanks. I was wary because @danbp suggested otherwise: ‘Yes i understand (i’m also using a bootstrap theme), you can do like you want. But don’t claim after that that BP doesn’t work correctly.’ You’re saying that ‘doesn’t work correctly’ means ‘won’t be styled correctly’? There seems to be a confusion between functionality and presentation here.

Thanks. As far as I can see, the relevant section there that deals with the Members directory is looking at the ordering drop-down. It’s not what I would call a ‘filter’, i.e. filtering results by certain criteria to shown only a sub-section of members. I was thinking that the tabs (where currently there’s only ‘All Members’) would be the more…[Read more]
