Humm… Looking at the proposal and the patch, it doesn’t look like ‘in-profile’ notifications are factored in yet. Just email notifications at the moment it seems.

bp_notifications_add_notification() does the adding of an ‘in-profile’ notification. See here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-notifications/bp-notifications-functions.php#L35

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Regarding notifications for activity comments, see this open ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5395

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @deepbevel

The notification types in BP core are:

• ‘new_at_mention’
• ‘friendship_request’
• ‘friendship_accepted’
• ‘new_membership_request’
• ‘membership_request_accepted’
• ‘membership_request_rejected’
• ‘member_promoted_to_admin’
• ‘member_promoted_to_mod’
• ‘group_invite’
• ‘new_message’

Plugins might add their own notifications on top of these but this is a comprehensive list for BP version 1.9.2.

Hi @cnaughton

The function should be defined? See here:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L2660

Do you have the groups component activated?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

…can I just create those pages to satisfy BuddyPress and then just make them private?

You can. In fact, if you’re sure you’ll never need them you can perform a 301 permanent redirect to ensure they never show. For example:

function redirect_pages() {
	if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || bp_is_members_component() ) {
		wp_redirect( home_url(), 301 );
		exit();
	}
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redirect_pages' );

If for some reason you find you do in fact need the activation page, then remove || bp_is_activation_page() from the above code.

@joshwinkles With BuddyPress installed, try going to yoursite.com/members/username whilst logged in as a WP user. If you can edit your profile, change your avatar etc then it works!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Akismet is a good plugin to have enabled. It’s free for personal websites and is completely unobtrusive:

But think of your fight against spam as a ‘strategy’. No single plugin will do the job. You’ll probably need to deploy a combo of plugin(s), manual moderation etc. Spammers are always changing their tactics so your strategy will need to change from time to time also.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Nice solution @barney92!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

I can’t really tell for sure but reading your post it seems you have ‘private tags’ that you’re wrapping around stuff you’d like to keep private?

Maybe try wrapping these tags around the members loop bp_has_members()?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Although I haven’t used it myself, I’ve read good reviews:

SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Glad you got it working! 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Or would get_query_var( 'upage' ) do the trick better?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Would this work?

global $members_template;
$paged = $members_template->pag_page;

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

You need both. You create the pages and BP fills them

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@ubernaut looks like it to me too. Do these people have no shame?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Have you created the pages in the WP dashboard?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @stefwilliams

Enhancement suggestions can be made here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

I’d agree with steps 1 to 3! With reference to 4, you could try installing a capcha plugin. It’s always better to stop spammers at the front door as opposed to trying to deal with them when they’re inside your house!

5. What else should be done at this stage?

Celebrate! 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

#element {
   display: none;
}

Is how you’d hide a page element with CSS. See here for more info:

1. Have you disabled site tracking? Try going to the WP dashboard where you can disable and enable BuddyPress components and check that site tracking is enabled.

2. Maybe check entries are recorded when using a different theme? Twenty Thirteen is a good tried and tested one.

Hi @gamerclips

There seems to be a new entry posted on 17 Feb (a day ago)?

Member Z and Member Y are now friends a day ago

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

There is a plugin that will let you do that:

BuddyPress Username Changer

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

I didn’t think they were as I’ve read about the plans for rewrite rules in 2.0.

@hnla that must have been a rogue edit to that page in the Codex

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Just had a response from Paul, he confirmed root profiles are here to stay. profiles.wordpress.org uses them!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@hnla Seems odd why somebody would want to make an edit like that?

I was getting worried there for a while – absolutely love root profiles! Good to know they’re not being deprecated. Panic over 🙂
