Hi @aquapan

Have you thought about using multisite? This may or may not work for you – see the Codex for more info on it:

Hi @siteshack

Do you have a link to the question you posted?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Using get_the_category_list makes displaying the categories very simple! Nice find.

Hi @josswinn

Is this ticket related to your problem by any chance?

I’m 99.87% sure the change-avatar URL (slug) is hard coded. See this ticket for more info:

wp_editor needs to identify your textarea. It does that through the textarea’s ID.

Usage is this:

wp_editor( $content, $textarea_id, $settings = array() );

I see your textarea uses bp_the_profile_field_input_name() as it’s ID. So as a very basic (un-working) example, it would be:

wp_editor( $content, bp_the_profile_field_input_name(), $settings = array() );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@dverburg-1 I’m not aware of a setting in BP core. But, there is a plugin which lets you do that.

Theme My Login
https://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

The redirection feature is the bit that does what you need.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

I’m not aware of an exact tutorial but to give you an overview of what needs to be done…

You can use wp_get_post_categories() to get a list of categories for a particular post.

For more information on how to use wp_get_post_categories(), see:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_categories

add_filter() will let you hook your filter function to bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action

Hi @oken

In BP 1.9 + you can now do

echo bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

toss up between going through one by one or pulling page and re-writing.

I’ve used that page a huge number of times – mainly for the is_functions. I actually had it bookmarked at one point 🙂 I’m sure i’ll find a need for it again soon so personally I wouldn’t pull it if the choice were mine.

So I take it there’s no recent comments or recent posts pages? 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@hnla – i’ll search the BP v 1.9.1 code base.

Results:

bp_is_recent_posts not found in 528 documents.
bp_is_recent_comments not found in 528 documents.

Looks like these functions don’t exist today at least. They may have existed in the past perhaps?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @ewebber

You can do that by filtering bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

No, even if I bypass BP completely and construct a direct SQL query to return the field I have the same problem.

Humm, that rules out something like wp_filter_nohtml_kses acting on the returned value. SO is a good place to ask actually – hopefully someone over there can help out.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @terraling

Take a look at the first few lines in bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php

There’s lots of filters in place that act on the xprofile field value. Could be one of them?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Try this:

$update = get_usermeta( bp_get_member_user_id(), 'bp_latest_update' );
if ( is_array( $update ) ) {
    $activity = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $update['id'] ) );
    $activity = $activity['activities'][0];
    echo $activity->date_recorded;
}

Are you up for freelance work?

I don’t think that will be needed as I think this should work now.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@mykrabuilding could it be that the two members you’re displaying haven’t made an activity update yet? Just a thought! If that is the case then it’ll just need a simple check introduced to see if the member has made an activity update – if they haven’t then display nothing, if they have then display the date.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@trainingforamarathon I had this problem once before. Which version of BP and WP are you using. Plugins? Theme?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@lrv No, using the bp-custom.php approach – you’d need to re-upload existing avatars in order for the new sizes to be used.

The alternative is to use the full size avatar throughout your theme. However, this might involve making changes to multiple template files (depending on your theme).

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @lrv

Do you have a link to the original thread you opened? I’ve noticed the same thing happening so will pass on any info you have to the core dev team.

Regarding full avatars instead of thumbs – you can set the thumb (and full) avatar size in your bp-custom.php file. For example:

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 80 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 80 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 300 );
define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 300 );

If you don’t already have a bp-custom.php file, just create one and drop it in your plugins directory – i.e. yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@somethingelse

You can render an editor using the WordPress function wp_editor()

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_editor

Also, you might need to remove some BP filters on the member bio content areas – I’m not sure if there are any in place which strip HTML etc.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

The BP Global Unified Search plugin does that (and a lot more too):

Hi @a77a77

Try rtMedia’s BuddyPress Media plugin:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @mykrabuilding

I’ve now had a chance to do this at my PC. Just tested this so it should work:

$update = get_usermeta( bp_get_member_user_id(), 'bp_latest_update' );
$activity = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $update['id'] ) );
$activity = $activity['activities'][0];
echo $activity->date_recorded;

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 8 months ago]

@hnla good idea! It does look like it needs a little love
