I’ve used the Ban Hammer plugin successfully for this in the past.

You can filter using bp_after_has_members_parse_args. Take a look here for examples:

Can you show us the full path you have to your child theme’s member-header.php file?

It should be your-theme/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

I’m wondering if the remove_cap() method is what you need. Try adding this to functions.php. Feel free to remove it after you’ve visited the front end of your site, it just needs to be run once.

add_action( 'init', function() {
    $role = get_role( 'subscriber' );
    $role->remove_cap( 'upload_files' );
} );

You can do the same with the author and editor roles should you wish.

These are fantastic, Slava, keep them coming!

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

There sure is: xprofile_field_after_save

Let me know if you need anything else.

The problem with bp_core_signup_user is it’s executed during registration only. If a member decides to change their “Name” at a later date, I don’t think the corresponding WordPress fields will be updated.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks for the reply, so you’re saying I should rename this field to “First Name” and create a secondary field for “Last Name” ?

That’s one approach you could take.

If there is nothing special about the field, is there a hook or filter where I can replace the field entirely and map them to first / last name fields in WordPress?

I think not unfortunately. You could request one be added by opening a ticket on Trac

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

There isn’t anything special about the “Name” field aside from it being required. You could treat the field as the member’s first name and set up a second field labelled “Surname”?

I’ve just removed bp_is_member() from the Template Tag Reference so there’s no confusion going forward:

Often you’ll also want to change the from “name”. That can be done with:

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', function( $name ) {
    return 'Jam Session';
} );

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

Try the wp_mail_from filter:

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', function( $email ) {
    return 'admin@jamsession.dk';
} );

Hi @chavodbharat

No need to edit the core file. The bp_attachments_current_user_can filter can be used here.

add_filter( 'bp_attachments_current_user_can', function( $can, $capability ) {
    if ( 'edit_avatar' !== $capability ) {
        return $can;
    }
    // This will let all users upload an avatar (not just logged in members).
    $can = true;
    return $can;
}, 10, 2 );

How do I do that on the server side?

You’d use the modulo operator, like in my example above.

Did this work for you?

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

Ah, the “load more”. I forgot about that. In order to load your items (and activities) you’ll need to make an ajax request. In your server side processing script you can use the modulo operator to insert your items at every 5th iteration.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve used Pastebin because there’s quite a lot of code to paste here. Notice my amendments on lines 34, 36, 37, 38 and 58.

Let me know if it works for you.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

You’ll need to replace // Loop start and // Loop end with your actual loop. If you want to paste your loop here I’ll try to take a look

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

You can use the modulo arithmetic operator. Here’s an example:

$counter = 1;
// Loop start
if ( 0 === $counter % 5 ) {
    // Do something here.
}
$counter++
// Loop end

You use bp_core_new_nav_item(). See this article for more info:

bp_core_new_nav_item()

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

Try doing the same thing using a different theme to see if your theme is causing the issue.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

It just feels like that should be part of a passed or available object rather than the raw $_POST so it’s gone through any form validations

At the point bp_signup_validate executes we’re still very early on in the process (still validating the data). Setting object properties or saving to the database only happens after the validation checks.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 7 months ago]

The $_POST variable should have what you need.

The BP Edit Group Slug plugin has been updated to work with BP 2.8. See this Tavern post for details:

@danbp Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll keep it in mind. My only thought is how do we know this issue is PHP 7 specific? To me it looks unrelated to PHP version.

[@henrywright Moderator 9 years, 8 months ago]

@airathalitov instead of commenting on an existing issue, this is probably worthy of opening a new ticket.
