I’d also be interested to know how scalable BuddyPress is…? Never really tested it past a few thousand members.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @mercime

The thread example I posted “username/messages/view/30/” can actually have more than two members. Conversations can have lots of members.

Obviously I can tell if the last message in the thread was sent to me by looking at it. I wanted to know how to check programatically. Sorry if I didn’t make that obvious. 🙂

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Hi @mercime,

Apologies, let me explain..

If you see the message listed there then the message was sent

A private message thread can end up with many messages. Some of the messages in the thread were sent by you to a site member and some of the messages in the thread were received by you (sent to you by a site member).

I am interested in the very last message in the thread. How can I tell if that very last message was sent to me from somebody else or sent by me to somebody else?

Hope that helps?

@peter-kuipers

Yep, I wrote a function to do redirect users away from it. You can add this to your theme’s functions.php

function bp_redirect_away_from_activate() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( bp_is_activation_page() ) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_redirect_away_from_activate');

@la-lena it is probably worth posting in the plugin’s support forum. That way one of the staff at rtCamp will be able to respond. They’ve just released v3.0 (is a bit buggy at the moment but their developers release bug fixes super quick)

http://rtcamp.com/groups/buddypress-media/forum/

@modemlooper is also a top dev, try his plugin too.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

BuddyPress Media (soon to be rtMedia) is great for albums. You could give that a try. It works very well for me and is actively supported by the development team.

Never used BP Album myself, perhaps try posting in the plugin’s support forum if you need to get that working.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

The demo used to be at testbp.org but it’s no longer available.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@chouf1 / @bphelp wrote a function to remove the button in this thread:

The language translation page has info that might be useful:

So you want to replace fullname “John Doe” with username “johndoe93”? Do you need to make the change sitewide?

r-a-y (BP core developer) has built a plugin for that:

Hugo beat me to it 🙂

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Ah yes, my bad. BP forums was pre 1.6.5. The bbPress plugin is different.

This may help you move everything across:

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

‘BuddyPress forums’ is bbPress (as far as i know)!

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@maan18

Your code is outputting the exact same line of code to both logged in users and logged out users:

do_action( 'bp_member_header_actions' );

The idea of an ‘if’ statement is to output different code based on certain criteria being met.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@maan18

it should work, I have used this approach many times.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@maan18

I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly but take a look at this:

<?php 
       if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { 
       // whatever you put here will be displayed if the user is logged in
       } else { 
       // whatever you put here will be displayed when logged out
       } 
?>

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

‘Add friend’ and ‘send private message’ aren’t supposed to display when a user is logged out. For example, how would BuddyPress know who the friend request came from? How would BP know who the private message came from?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@daol9999

I wasn’t going to suggest you use bp-default, in fact I was going to suggest a switch from it. As @hnla mentioned, 1.7 introduced a template hierarchy which will allow your developers much more flexibility when working with BP. Watch for the 1.8 release – it introduces an even more advanced template hierarchy (the dev and testing teams are working on it as we speak) which will make adding job title and company to the members directory even easier as you’ll be able to create a template for that specific page.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@mewrd

Try to get as many details from the client as you can. Browser, version and so on. Then perhaps try again using their exact environment. Might help you replicate the issue.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

@shanebp nice approach targeting the array item, didn’t think of that!

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Are you using the bp-default template or the newer template hierarchy method?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

If you add this to your theme’s functions.php it will basically filter the entire button. You’ll then be free to modify whatever you need:

//filter group button
function bp_change_group_button( $button ) {

global $groups_template;

		if ( empty( $group ) )
			$group =& $groups_template->group;

		if ( !is_user_logged_in() || bp_group_is_user_banned( $group ) )
			return false;

		// Group creation was not completed or status is unknown
		if ( !$group->status )
			return false;

		// Already a member
		if ( isset( $group->is_member ) && $group->is_member ) {

			// Stop sole admins from abandoning their group
	 		$group_admins = groups_get_group_admins( $group->id );
		 	if ( 1 == count( $group_admins ) && $group_admins[0]->user_id == bp_loggedin_user_id() )
				return false;

			$button = array(
				'id'                => 'leave_group',
				'component'         => 'groups',
				'must_be_logged_in' => true,
				'block_self'        => false,
				'wrapper_class'     => 'group-button ' . $group->status,
				'wrapper_id'        => 'groupbutton-' . $group->id,
				'link_href'         => wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'leave-group', 'groups_leave_group' ),
				'link_text'         => __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ),
				'link_title'        => __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ),
				'link_class'        => 'group-button leave-group',
			);

		// Not a member
		} else {

			// Show different buttons based on group status
			switch ( $group->status ) {
				case 'hidden' :
					return false;
					break;

				case 'public':
					$button = array(
						'id'                => 'join_group',
						'component'         => 'groups',
						'must_be_logged_in' => true,

					);
					break;

				case 'private' :

					// Member has not requested membership yet
					if ( !bp_group_has_requested_membership( $group ) ) {
						$button = array(
							'id'                => 'request_membership',
							'component'         => 'groups',
							'must_be_logged_in' => true,

						);

					// Member has requested membership already
					} else {
						$button = array(
							'id'                => 'membership_requested',
							'component'         => 'groups',
							'must_be_logged_in' => true,
							'block_self'        => false,
							'wrapper_class'     => 'group-button pending ' . $group->status,
							'wrapper_id'        => 'groupbutton-' . $group->id,
							'link_href'         => bp_get_group_permalink( $group ),
							'link_text'         => __( 'Request Sent', 'buddypress' ),
							'link_title'        => __( 'Request Sent', 'buddypress' ),
							'link_class'        => 'group-button pending membership-requested',
						);
					}

					break;
			}
		}

		return $button;

}
add_filter( 'bp_get_group_join_button', 'bp_change_group_button' );

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Looks like you’re on the right track. The do_action will execute a particular function. However, the statements inside that function build a button. It is these statements you’d need to change if you want to modify the button.

Filters CHANGE stuff.

So are you trying to change the new topic button or the group join button? These buttons are filterable using:

bp_get_group_join_button

and

bp_get_group_new_topic_button

Does this put help put you on the right track?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 4 months ago]

@kizmark

I’m still scratching my head with this one. It must be my install playing games. In the end I got it working with

Anyway I thought why not just build the link and throw it directly in the friends template?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 4 months ago]

Once logged in as a member, try navigation to the Groups area. You’ll then be given the opportunity to create a new group.
