To my knowledge, profile fields accept HTML. Have you tried inserting tags to see? try adding <strong>test</strong> to a profile field to see if the text is bolded.

@harpeml do you want to disallow all HTML tags? or allow certain ones?

@anointed with reference to the large number of joins throughout the code and speed issues – where would you say speed improvements can be made in BP?

I’d love big new features to be left up to plugins and 2.0 to focus on speed improvements and code optimisations which will all make for a zippy user experience.

@synaptic I didn’t realise the auto emails were sent from ‘wordpress’@mydomain so thanks for this!

@laurentdesserrey

The code does go into your theme’s functions.php file. This is what I have:

function custom_wp_mail_from( $email ) {
$handle = 'laurentdesserrey';
$find = 'http://';
$replace = '';
$link = get_bloginfo( 'url'…[Read more]

I wanted to avoid editing templates

I suppose you could achieve what you’re trying to do by using a bunch of action hooks although the advantage of theme template files is they are there to be edited.

Hopefully you’ll be able to get your plugin approach to work! Perhaps it might be worth throwing BP Profile Search into the mix. It offers some…[Read more]

Copy bp_message_search_form() to your theme’s functions.php file then change the name to custom_message_search_form(). You can then use the custom search form function in your theme templates.

Essentially it sounds like you need two roles. Band and fan.

Then, once a ‘band’ user has logged in after they’ve registered you want them to be able to embed music into their profile. Users of role ‘fan’ won’t be able to do this.

On those requirements, why isn’t it as easy as the process outlined in my post?

Once you have separated the fans…[Read more]

Hi @laurentdesserrey

You can usually update content of these emails via a filter. See the Codex for more info https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

For example, to filter the email body for message notifications, use messages_notification_new_message_message. To filter the subject line, use messages_notification_new_message_sub…[Read more]

JJJ’s work on the notifications component pretty much answers that question. If you look at the updates in the Trac ticket you’ll see just how much time and effort he has put in over the past month.

I’m looking forward to the new notifications component! Notifications facilitate interaction – now they’re going to be super charged!

Ah I see! Can you try setting up a new profile field called ‘Role’ – make it of type option list and have ‘fan’ and ‘band’ as the options available.

This field will then appear on the registration form. As a user signs up they’ll choose if they are a fan or a band. Then that info will be saved as an xprofile field and will be searchable. To my…[Read more]

Remember you asked the same question in another thread few weeks ago

Can you dig out the link and paste it here? I’m trying to understand your exact requirements – and maybe that will help. If I asked the same question then it is possible that I found a solution to it already

@noizeburger yep, it is for use in your templates. For example, your page template could look like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Also on another topic I would like the site admin to use the registration page to add new users but if the site admin is logged on then they cannot view the page because of redirects, is there a way to turn this off some how?

I’d raise each different question you have as a separate thread. That way, the thread title will catch the eye of readers…[Read more]

Do you want to trim the text on output? Or do you want to accept a maximum number of characters on user input?

@noizeburger I think I get what you mean. To show all members of type ‘fan’ in a “fan directory” you would do this

<?php

if ( bp_has_members( '&include=' . $fans ) ) :
while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
// you can output whatever you…[Read more]

1: There is some inconsistency, yes.

2: It isn’t specific to your installation. bp-default implements the transition effects (see global.js) in certain but not all places

3: bp-default, whilst a fantastic theme in my opinion, has come to the end of it’s life and will be retired in 1.9 (currently in beta). Look out for the brand new and improved…[Read more]
