@bphelp thanks for sharing the link.

I’ve come across that thread before. Unfortunately the solution no longer works. Perhaps it did work at some point in the past but not with today’s version of the plugin and BP 1.7.

@modemlooper I know it isn’t rocket science to know what the plugin will do but any chance you have a demo?

Just to add, at larger width/height sizes that function seems to assume a thumb size so you have to specify type=full along with your width and height or you’ll get a blurry photo.

@m1000 perfect! thank you.

In addition to displaying the favorite count under each activity item, it would be nice to display a list of usernames who have favourited that item. Each usernames could be linked to the corresponding profile page. Similar to how the Instagram feed currently looks.

I think this would add a new level of engagement to the activity stream.

Hi @mercime

I am using my own child theme of bp-default. The annoying thing about building your own child theme is when stuff like this happens. My line of thought right now is global.js is loading after the HTML form which is why you see the form appear and then disappear (as soon as global.js is loaded the hide functions kick in). I’d be interested to take a look at the fix. Any ideas how I could find the trac ticket without manually searching through all of the closed tickets?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 5 months ago]

You may have already checked but have you looked in your spam folder? Could be in there.

Using a fresh install of WP 3.5.1. Tried 3 different versions of BP (1.6.1 / 1.6.4 / 1.7.1 ). Aside from BP, no plugins activated accept BP Follow. Same outcome each time.

Can you remember the version you saw this problem on? Considering you say the issue was only on an old version for you, I wonder if there was ever a trac ticket which resolved the issue? Any information you have that will help me track down the cause will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 5 months ago]

Resolved. It was in fact a problem with my (customised) global.js. No one else should have the issue so I won’t go into an explanation of how I fixed.

Thanks anyway!

When you’re creating your profile fields you can drag each field up or down which will help control the order of them.

The email address, username, password and repeat password fields are part of register.php. If you want to change the order of how these are displayed then you will need to open that file and reorder them manually.

In theory, the two column set-up could be achieved via CSS (again the markup used can be found in register.php), so you wouldn’t need to know how to write PHP.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 5 months ago]

Upgraded from 1.6.5 and everything seems to have worked perfectly. Thanks, great job!

You can submit your bug report here. This way the developers will catch sight of it.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Open member-loop.php and you will see instructions on how to add custom profile fields such as Location. It is quite straightforward to do.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

The activate page can be used to activate an account manually. It has a text input field which lets members enter a key to activate their account. It may be useful to some site admins who need to activate accounts via the front end.

I see no need for the page myself.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Humm, all I can think of is your functions.php and bp-custom.php. Make sure any white space is removed from the top of these files.

Perhaps before you do anything else, try reverting to the default theme and disabling all plugins. Then once the problem has gone, work backwards, first by activating your plugins one at a time. Then activate your custom theme. This is probably your best bet to catch the culprit.

For the life of me I cannot figure out why it doesn’t work for the friends loop. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

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

echo wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . bp_core_get_username( bp_get_member_user_id() ) );

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

@shanebp you mean the bp_directory_members_item is different? That is the same in both the members directory and the friends list (both use the members loop)…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Interestingly I just tried this outside of the members loop. It doesn’t work on the friends list page. What is different about the friends loop and the members loop for this not to work? Humm…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks for that! I can see now you’ve created a new function display_private_message_button which hooks on to action bp_directory_members_item in the members loop. Sorry for being slow, i got there in the end :}

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Of course, I should have mentioned I am using a custom page. I installed the Theme My Login plugin so can use /login as the login page.

Thanks for the links – is_page( 42 ), is_page( ‘login’ ), is_page_template( ‘login-form.php’ ), is_page_template( ‘page-login.php’ ) all didn’t work.

I pretty much can check for every page in BuddyPress except the login. I’ll keep trying…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Try going to your trash to make sure you’ve fully deleted the register page. You can then go into and edit the register page that has the -2 slug

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

the DOCTYPE declaration is usually in your theme’s header.php file. Try looking at that first to see if you can remove any spaces at the very top of the file.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks @mercime although that article talks of wp-login.php (the WordPress login page). This isn’t much use as I am using a custom login page such as example.com/login

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years, 6 months ago]

@shanebp

Is it possible to explain how the code works?
