OK, I think I might have cracked it for you. Just tested and this works for me. Add this directly after bp_the_member() in members-loop.php

<?php
   $memberid = bp_get_member_user_id();
   $now = time();
   $last_active = bp_get_user_meta ( $memberid, 'last_activity', true );
   $last_active = strtotime( $last_active );
   $seconds_since_last_active = $now - $last_active;
   $minutes_since_last_active = $seconds_since_last_active / 60;
   $hours_since_last_active = $minutes_since_last_active / 60;
   $days_since_last_active = $hours_since_last_active / 24;

      if ( $days_since_last_active > 60 ) continue;
?>

Basically, for each member, this will get the number of days since last active and if that number is greater than 60 then it will skip them (not display that member on the page).

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

The general idea would be to add something like this directly after bp_the_member() in members-loop.php

$days_since_last_login;

if ( $days_since_last_login > 60 ) continue;

You just need to find out how to get the number of days since last login.

will do! i’ll get started on it this weekend and post on Trac if I come across any issues.

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

@hnla i’m going to start using theme compat post 1.8 as i need the template hierarchy stuff you’ve been working on. Can’t wait for that!

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

You certainly don’t have to set up a localisation file if changing the odd heading in BuddyPress is all you need to do.

That said – The benefits of having a localisation file in place are huge (i can name some if you like..?) and it isn’t difficult to set one up if you follow the tutorial on that page.

Going back to your method of editing your theme’s files – try making the exact same change in file:

plugins/buddypress/bt-themes/bp-default/members/index.php

If that change works then you haven’t set up your child theme properly.

thanks again @sbrajesh – i shouldn’t have assumed exiting was automatic!

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

@hnla you beat me to it – i was just reading that exact page. Thanks for your help!

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

@sbrajesh thank you! Adding exit(0); nailed it!

@hnla

bp_is_current_component( ‘activate’ ) and ‘activate’ == bp_is_current_component() and bp_is_activation_page() and is_page('activate') all work by themselves – it was my function that was missing an exit statement that was the problem. Thanks to @sbrajesh it’s all sorted now.

@sbrajesh i do wonder the reason for the exit statement? doesn’t the function get exited automatically? no real issue though as the problem is resolved.

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

The easiest way to inherit ‘some’ of the CSS from the default theme is to copy what you need and paste it into your theme’s style.css.

Then add this to your functions.php file

if ( !function_exists( 'bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles' ) ) :
    function bp_dtheme_enqueue_styles() {}
endif;

This will tell BuddyPress not to queue up the default stylesheet.

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

Instead of editing the text strings in the core or you theme’s files, you can use a language translation file. It makes life much easier:

I am trying to redirect logged-in users away from the activate page if they try to access it. This is what I have which isn’t working

//redirect logged-in users away from activate page
function bp_redirect_activate_to_profile() {
	global $bp;
	
	if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_activation_page() ) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
	}
}
add_action('wp','bp_redirect_activate_to_profile');

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

Hi @sbrajesh

Have you tested bp_is_activation_page() recently? Both that and bp_is_current_component( 'activate' ) don’t seem to be working for me even though similar functions such as bp_is_register_page() work perfectly.

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

@djpaul I thought the members search also had the autosuggest feature?

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

@soloacademy

You don’t need to put any code in your homepage template. @bphelp’s code goes into your bp-custom.php file.

I am using a slightly different method. Copy and paste this into your theme’s functions.php file.

//redirect logged in users away from homepage to their profile page
function bp_homepage_to_profile() {
	global $bp;
	
	if(is_user_logged_in() && bp_is_front_page()) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
	}
		
}

add_action('wp','bp_homepage_to_profile');

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

@bphelp nice new blog! looking forward to hearing some tips and tricks…

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

You’ll need to post a link to your website and/or provide screenshots of the problem. It will likely be a CSS issue

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

I haven’t used this plugin but it looks as though it will do what you need:

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

That code needs to go in your theme, replacing your current menu. It doesn’t go in functions.php. Try looking in header.php. you’re looking for wp_nav_menu

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

It works for me on a menu I’ve called footer.

I reckon the 2 menu approach will be easier anyway . you’ll have to create another menu in wp admin but that should be straight forward just a little time consuming.

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

if you want to make the avatar a bit bigger you could try

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=100&width=100' ); ?>

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

With reference to your code, you have primary-nav where you should have Main-Menu. Also, don’t forget to log out when you check if the register link is in the menu. It’ll only be visible to logged-out users

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

@hnla actually suggested an easier option i almost overlooked. You could set up 2 menus in WP Admin and display them in your theme according to the logged-in status of the user:

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
     wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'user-loggedin-menu' ) );
} else {
     wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'user-loggedout-menu' ) );
}
?>

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

Ah OK.

Remove this bit

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=full&width=750&height=750' ); ?>

and replace it with

<?php bp_member_avatar( 'type=thumb&height=30&width=30' ); ?>

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

@benjino use the last function i posted, making sure to replace CHANGE-THIS with the name of the menu you want to target. The name of the menu can be found in WP Admin, when you set-up the menu, you had to give it a name.

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

@hnla I searched for the thread you mentioned which had the solution already posted. Can be found here:
