@poetrybyjade yes, following the instructions in the article, that is exactly what I would do. Did it work?

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

You need to start with an empty functions.php file in your child theme folder.

e.g.

<?php

// put whatever you want here

?>

Hi @3rdaxis,

Which author’s posts would you like to display?

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Have you tried doing what the article suggests? i.e putting this in your theme’s functions.php file:

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

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Just found an even better way of getting the total. This will always match your loop count. e.g be correct even when member search has been used.

global $members_template;	
$total = ( (int)$members_template->total_member_count / 2 );

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Can’t you just pass the ids of the roles you want to bp_has_members() using include?

You could get the user ids you need using get_users() then do an array_merge()

Take a look at:

Members Loop

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Just needed a bit of maths to get this value

$total = ( bp_get_total_member_count() / $per_page )

Note, $per_page is whatever you’ve set in your custom members loop. I think the default is 20.

Then you can do:

$pages = ceil( $total )

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Got it, if anyone ever needs this:

global $messages_template;
$total = $messages_template->total_thread_count;

[@henrywright-1 Member 12 years, 12 months ago]

Try adding this to your theme’s style.CSS document

.avatar {
    display: none;
}

I need the post list to stay updated e.g when a member updates a post, WP Query will display the updated title in the post list. With activity, the old entry will remain in the list and a new item will be written to the list as well.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

A couple of reasons but mainly to keep everything on one page. A load more button for posts is also consistent with the activity feed load more approach.

I was thinking the same about a fallback so I’ve added plain pagination to the page too – it gets hidden via the js so falls back nicely when js is disabled.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

OK got it down to the built in WP function next_posts() not taking into account the current component and current action parts of the URL.

The URL getting passed to the script is this username/page/3 whereas in BuddyPress we need username/current_component/current_action/page/3

Now my next problem is how to modify the link returned by next_posts() to add in the additional bit of the URL?

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@tse11

I came across this exact same thing a few weeks back so wrote the function below:

// redirect front page for logged in visitors
function redirect_front_page_for_loggedin_users() {
	global $bp;
	// redirect only when user is logged in and we are viewing the front page as set in WP admin
	if ( is_user_logged_in() && ( is_front_page() ) ) {
		wp_redirect( $bp->loggedin_user->domain );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action( 'wp', 'redirect_front_page_for_loggedin_users' );

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@hnla in the end this wasn’t a problem with the .pot file. It was a self-inflicted problem caused by messing with wp-config.php. Thanks again for your help.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

You can do this by checking if the displayed member is friends with the logged in member and then showing the comment form conditionally.

$status = friends_check_friendship_status( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_displayed_user_id() );
if ( $status ) {
    // show comment form
} else {
    // don't show it
}

Please note I’ve not tested this but that is the general approach, I think.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@martinbeaulne the avatar upload process uses certain scripts (jcrop etc) so you will need to check they aren’t being enqueued only on the /change-avatar/ page

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

Are you removing support for that provider (soundcloud) anywhere? if you take a look in class-oembed.php – soundcloud is supported and looks as though it has been since WP 2.9

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

sweet! thanks again for the help

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

bp_action_variables are stored as an array

That does make it easy. you just have to ‘catch’ them right?

so if somebody randomly entered the URL posts/page/2/3/hello and I did something like

if ( $bp->action_variables[2] == 'hello' ) {
// do something
} else {
// do nothing
}

then ‘do something’ would happen

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@modemlooper got ya! I see now – perhaps the pagination needs the actions variables to be available. Hiding the subnav (but still keeping it) works.

Thanks for all your help in this thread, appreciate it! 🙂

Now i’m off to learn about why this blasted pagination query needs the action variables in order to work…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@modemlooper tried the space, it didn’t work very well for me.

looking through BP core – i noticed every single component has a subnav set – even BP Follow has subnavs set – it’s making me think subnavs (bp_current_actions) are needed as the BP Follow subnavs are highly redundant:

members/username/following/following
members/username/followers/followers

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

actually – it only seems to work when a bp_current_action (subnav item) is set. strange!

EDIT: Oh right, i’ll give the space a shot…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

@modemlooper

bp_current_component
bp_current_action
bp_action_variables

members/user/bp_current_component/bp_current_action/bp_action_variables

So bp_current_component is the main nav item, bp_current_action is the subnav item and bp_action_variables is what comes after that.

bp_dump() shows me that when bp_current_action has a value, pagination works. When it doesn’t have a value (e.g. I don’t have a subnav item), although paginate_links() outputs the proper URLs, when I visit the URL I just get redirected to the members directory. It’s almost like the query doesn’t contain the post information.

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

bp_dump() V useful thanks – just taking a look through now…

[@henrywright-1 Member 13 years ago]

I suppose my problem comes down to why paginated posts are only displayed when a subnav is specified.

e.g. If I display my list of posts on page

members/username/COMPONENT-NAME/

then i’d want my paginated posts to display like this:

members/username/COMPONENT-NAME/page/2

As it stands, i’m displaying my list of posts on:

members/username/COMPONENT-NAME/

and my paginated posts are available like this:

members/username/component-name/SUBPAGE/page/2
