Hi @asd315

You should look at the plugin’s documentation to find out if template tags are provided and then copy the relevant ones (if available) into your activity template. For more info on template tags see the Template Tags article.

Hi @garrett-eclipse

Can you provide a gist of the code you’ve written? People here might then be able to help.

Hi @dimensionmedia

I had a look at the .zip, in particular I looked at your class that extends BP_Component. I noticed you’re not registering it as an active component. So inside your constructor method after your call to parent::start(), you can do:

$bp->active_components[$this->id] = '1';

It may explain why things aren’t working because you…[Read more]

@mcpeanut good point. I think < 10 is a manageable number when it comes to updating. As you say, when you go above that number, you run the risk of bringing on a headache when it’s time to upgrade WP. Also, until WP bumps the required version of PHP to 5.3+ and namespacing becomes available, function naming collisions is another problem because…[Read more]

Not really that big of a list 26, ive had a site running 75 plugins efficiently

That’s the highest number I’ve heard of 🙂 But, if things run smoothly then why not! 😀

Do you think that perhaps the plugin I’m using, to block those several pages, could be causing the issue?

Is there any way you can disable it to see if the problem resolves?

I’ve always wondered if it’s normal that it says /forums/forum/?

example.com/forums/forum/ is quite normal. I’m not hugely familiar with bbPress but I think there’s an op…[Read more]

You could just provide your own template for the registration page (hence have your own custom registration form).

BuddyPress will use the following template hierarchy /buddypress/members/index-register.php

Check out the Template Hierarchy article for more info on how templates work in BP.

Hi @gromozeka

You could create a new component but that isn’t required. Check out bp_core_new_nav_item() for how to add items to the navigation.

bp_core_new_nav_item()

Hi @zigmund

This will all be possible, likely with xProfile fields. To get started with BuddyPress, check out the docs (there’s links to subpages on the left-hand-side).

Hope the info helps.

Hi @feyrisa

Is that a way to add membership checkout to my buddypress registration ?

It will be possible but there isn’t a configuration setting that’ll do it for you (unless the plugin itself has a setting that allows integration with BuddyPress).

Hi @feyrisa

Is that a way to add membership checkout to my buddypress registration ?

It will be possible but there isn’t a configuration setting that’ll do it for you. It’ll need some custom code.

@mcpeanut

glad you got it working! 🙂

Oh one last thing henry it turns out i didnt need to use the echo $count; at the end because it was causing it to echo 4 times on the page

That’s strange. I’m not sure why that would be happening because the echo statement should execute once only. Perhaps you’re running the code inside a loop which causes…[Read more]

I heard recently at WordCamp London that the WordPress core team are considering introducing a button on abandoned plugins that lets developers register their interest in maintaining them. I’m not sure if that will happen but if it does then there is a chance that some of the older plugins that no longer work could be updated.

Hi @itkid

Does buddypress support markdown?

Not currently. A markdown plugin would be great for BuddyPress activity posts and comments, private messages and so on, but to my knowledge there isn’t one available right now.

Always great to see a new BuddyPress plugin! 🙂

Hi @matthias70

There are quite a lot of active BuddyPress plugin developers out there, although you’re right in that there’s not as many BuddyPress plugin developers as there are WordPress plugin developers.

Both kinds of developers overlap, so feel free to put plugin ideas out there, and who knows, maybe a BuddyPress dev (or a WordPress dev)…[Read more]

Hey again @mcpeanut,

I’ve had a little bit more time this evening to look at this for you. I found that the notifications component provides a public static method get_total_count() which can be used to get the unseen mention count. You can use it like this:

$query_vars = array(
'user_id' => get_current_user_id(),
'component_action' =>…[Read more]

@danbp right, I see what you mean! 🙂

Great stuff! (and thanks to @danbp 🙂 )

Hey @danbp

More about this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_notifications_add_notification/

@mcpeanut isn’t trying to add a new notification, instead the aim is to get the ‘unseen’ mention count.
