User meta is great for saving a key and value to a user’s ID in the database. For example, user with ID 385 might have a favourite colour. You could then use usermeta to save this info:

User ID: 385
Key: colour
Value: purple

update_user_meta( '385', 'colour', 'purple');

The database description can be found…[Read more]

function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );

This function above (called remove_xprofile_links) and it’s hook to bp_init might be what you need to remove. Try removing all of the above from bp-custom.php

Humm, I’ll have to look into it to see exactly what’s going on here.

I think xprofile_data_value_before_save is the hook you want to use. So, if you add this to functions.php your xprofile fields will accept HTML:

remove_filter( 'xprofile_data_value_before_save', 'xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save', 1, 2 );

Note: Use this with caution. Not sanitizing incoming data is dangerous so you will need to…[Read more]

@natehawkes right, I see… Yes, somebody in the bbPress forum should be able to help!

Hi @natehawkes

Do you mean blog post count?

echo count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id() );

Did this happen in 1.9? Or just 1.9.1?

@somethingelse doing if ( $wp_user->roles[0] == 's2member_level3' ) inside the loop is great but you might find your pagination doesn’t take your condition into account. For that you’ll need to hook into the bp_ajax_querystring filter

See the technique in action on the BuddyDev…[Read more]

@hnla right! I’ll give it a go. Thanks Hugo.

Hi @randallpacker

You can do that using the advanced template hierarchy introduced in BP 1.8. Check out:

Template Hierarchy

Also, rename your ‘register’ page to something else. Lots of spam bots look for /register/ so something as simple as /register-page/ will help hide your sign up form from at least a few of the bots.

@wpdragon have you tried Akismet? I’ve found that to work well as part of your overall spam fighting strategy.

@modemlooper – Wonder why this thread reads “Last activity: 1 year, 1 month ago”?

Update: Well it did before I posted 🙂

Survey done!

@colabsadmin agreed!

You could raise a Trac ticket for this?

Alternatively you could create your own version on bp_get_the_thread_recipients() – which is what I did.

I think the wording here is the problem, not the math.

‘recipients’ would be far better is if said ‘participants’. There’s no real need for the ‘and you’ bit. That part is obvious as you know you’re in the conversation 🙂
