BuddyPress.org

Check out this article on what hooks are and how you can use them to interact with WordPress and BuddyPress:

bp_core_activated_user is the hook you can use for this sort of thing.

@amid11 you could use WP user meta to tally the ratings. +1 for an up-vote and -1 for a down-vote. Querying by user meta is supported by WP_Query – see here:

@godavid33 that plugin is actually free. Maybe tear open the code to see if a solution jumps out at you? Just an idea.

Regarding your problem, I came across the issue a few months back when 1.9 was rolled out. You need to capture the item’s ID when adding a notification. See here for some related…[Read more]

Try deactivating all plugins ‘one-by-one’ to see if any are causing the issue.

There might be a problem with $user->ID then? Can you echo that out to see if that is what you expect it to be?

This might be a silly question but check these members actually do have friends. The var_dump seems to indicate they don’t as an empty array seems to be returned.

something like

$var = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user->ID );
var_dump( $var );

All I can think of is friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user->ID ); doesn’t return an array as we expect. I just looked at the documentation and it doesn’t specify the return type. Maybe try echo’ing out friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user->ID ); to see what exactly is returned?

Try changing:

$friend = get_userdata( $friend->ID );

to:

$friend = get_userdata( $friend );

Can you paste how you’re using friends_get_friend_user_ids()?

Sorry, you’re right!

friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id ) should be what you need. So change my first line to:

$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );

I the function is the one you need to use, you’ll just have to do a little more work to get info about each friend. Loop through the array that’s returned by friends_get_friend_count_for_user() and then use get_userdata() like this:

$friends = friends_get_friend_count_for_user( $user_id );
if ( $friends != false ) {
foreach ( $friends as…[Read more]

Just looked at your plugin code and think you may be using the function wrong. I could be wrong but you seem to be treating what is returned as an object where as it will be either an array of user IDs, or false if none are found.

As far as I’m aware you don’t need to include any files in order to use BP core functions. I’ve never had to. Perhaps someone else here can confirm?

Hi @mika89

You should be able to use friends_get_friend_count_for_user() in your plugin. Are you sure you have BP activated? Are you sure you have the Friends component enabled?

@dta_madrid

Further to @shanebp‘s method, WordPress has a native function called count_users() which can be used to get the number of users in each role.

$users = count_users();

Hi @davinadanian

What is the difference between using BuddyPress from the webiste versus downloading it to your computer?

Do you mean like wordpress.com and wordpress.org?

BuddyPress is downloadable only – there is no web service version of it available like there is with wordpress.com.

Hi @denmengel

This is most definitely a theme issue. Which theme are you using?

Bp Chat is free and makes use of BP profiles.

Chat logs must not build up causing site to slow down etc

I haven’t tested it myself so can’t answer this. It’s available here:
