@shanebp, funny you say that, since 2.4.0 dropped, I’ve been using 2013 on everything! My new favourite 20-something

Thanks for the feedback. I’m assuming this is feedback regarding the BuddyPress forum, rather than the BuddyPress software. In your own forum, you can change the location of the new topic form by modifying your theme. See the Theme Compatibility article for more info. Any questions you may have feel free to ask on their support…[Read more]

The person creating the user will need the create_users capability. By default, only super-admins and admins have it. But, you can add the capability to any role using the add_cap() function.

I’ve reported it to the theme developer

Good idea. Hopefully they’ll be able to provide a fix!

Great stuff @imath and everyone else involved, 2.4.0 looks a truly fantastic release! Thank you 🙂

Check out bp_parse_args(). It’s super powerful when it comes to filtering the activity stream.

It doesn’t help if I directly delete the field in the database.

That’s really weird. If you delete something from a database, usually it’s gone permanently

Great to hear 🙂

Very cool yacht by the way! I’m going to visit my uncle’s this Thursday. It’s moored at Canvey Island while he does some restorations.

There’s 2 ways of doing this.

1. You could modify the members-loop template (see the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy for details on how that’s done). See here. You would just add bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name here' ); to the template.

2. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function add_info_to_members_loop() {
echo…[Read more]

You can’t do that currently. The only way to add an item to the activity stream is with bp_activity_add(). See the bp_activity_add() article for more details.

Take a look at the source where the hook appears. See here. You should see do_action( 'bp_after_registration_confirmed' );.

This invokes all functions hooked to bp_after_registration_confirmed. So for example:

function test() {
// The code here will be run.
}
add_action( 'bp_after_registration_confirmed', 'test' );

In this particular case,…[Read more]

Can someone confirm if this code will ever be overwritten by an update to WordPress or BuddyPress?

Updating WordPress or BuddyPress won’t overwrite anything you have added to your theme, but updating your theme will do. The way around this is to create a Child Theme.

@venutius

You said group admins were a special case and not covered in the @mods command, would it be possible to have a shout to both admins and mods?

I’ve just released version 1.0.1 which lets you use both @moderators and @administrators within a group to mention group moderators and administrators respectively.

Could be a function name conflict? Try happymunkee_hook_test() just to be sure that’s not the issue.

Keep an eye on this ticket:

Thanks for these useful plugins @danbp!

@venutius

If Group1 already exists, you can’t create a new group with the name Group1 or group1.

Hope that helps!

@danbp Thanks for testing! I don’t think everyone would want this in core because some websites need groups to have the same name. I could package it up as a plugin if there’s much interest in it?

@paragbhagwat

I had some time this morning so wrote this: http://pastebin.com/7wBvs7MM

Note, I’m using a custom database query because I couldn’t find anything already available in the API.

Also should i be using the search_groups method for searching for an existing group with the same name or is there a different way?

BP_Groups_Group::search_groups() will get you a list of groups that match the first argument you pass to it. But the snag is, name and description matches are returned. We only want name matches.

An alternative…[Read more]
