@bassjobsen how many plugins do you plan to write? hehe. The core team are great, if there is a bug they tend to jump on them straight away – hopefully you won’t have to wait too long for the fix. 🙂

@jetlej as far as I know @admin can do that by default. Personally as a website owner I would want that functionality to be sure that my members were behaving themselves.

@bassjobsen if you’re writing a plugin then you could introduce a {plugin-name}-functions.php file which could be home for your custom helper functions. Just a thought.

You can use Trac if you need to report a bug in BP core:

With reference to (2), you could always remove the action then enqueue the script you want.

remove_action( 'wp_head', bp_core_confirmation_js', 100 );

@jetlej are you logged in as ‘admin’? That would explain it as admin has access rights to member’s private messages. Try setting up a dummy user with subscriber access rights. You’ll most probably not be able to read the messages.

Actually apologies – not convinced this will achieve what you want it to

$value = wordwrap( $value, 16 );
$value = explode( "n", $value );
$value = $value[0] . '...';

The best approach would be to filter the data before you display it to screen. The general idea would be something like this


function filter_about_me_info( $value, $field_id, $user_id ) {
if ( bp_is_directory() ) {
$value = wordwrap( $value, 16 );
$value = explode( "n", $value );
$value = $value[0] . '...';
}…[Read more]

@mikealan can you list all of the plugins you have installed?

@jetlej which theme are you using?

@jetlej does it happen with the user role editor plugin deactivated?

I think you might be able to do something like this in functions.php


function absolute_message_sent_date() {
global $thread_template;
return $thread_template->message->date_sent
}


Then this will go straight into your single.php template

echo absolute_message_sent_date();

@ugcheleuce WordPress and BuddyPress could handle this no problem. Depending on what features you’d need, you may need to write some custom code or add some plugins.

@bphelp I’ve seen websites that grant login access even before the account has been activated. Twitter is an example.

Thinking about the profile URL being created – Although BP doesn’t give login access, the fact that a profile URL is created opens up opportunities. For example, on registration submit you could add an action that redirects the…[Read more]

Ah yes of course.

Replace:

bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=VALUE' )

With

xprofile_get_field_data( 'field=VALUE', bp_loggedin_user_id() )

<?php
echo 'Hi ' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . ' – Account Type: ' . bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=VALUE' );
?>

Note: VALUE should be the exact name of the field you want to use.

echo $_REQUEST['s']; in members-loop.php worked! The global was the bit I didn’t like. For some reason I completely overlooked the obvious. Thanks @shanebp for the solution.

@bphelp I haven’t been able to test this for you yet but I did notice yesterday that non-activated users get given a URL which is visible to anyone. For example, if you completed the registration form on my site and chose username ‘bphelp’ – even before you click on the link in the activation email you will be able to go…[Read more]

@shanebp I thought that too but it seems to be. Check out how BP remembers the search term after clicking. See bp_directory_members_search_form() in bp-members-template.php

@robg48 – this could well be half of the solution you’re looking for when importing stuff from WP to BP. Although there’s no mention of a user import (just blog posts).

Edit: Just came across the following – please note i’ve not tested it.
