Is there a formal process for requesting this feature?

Yes. The formal place to request features is Trac.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Just a thought, have you considered a CSS solution?

.tab {
    display: none;
}

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Inside groups_screen_group_admin_manage_members() before the banning and removal operations, there’s a check which asks if the logged-in user is an admin:

if ( ! bp_is_item_admin() )
    return false;

So as far as I know, it isn’t possible to give mods that privilege.

Hi @handyandywilson

Your first stop when customising the activity stream should be bp_parse_args(). Check out this article:

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

As far as I know, in order to reply to a specific participant only, they’d need to start a new private message. Unless that’s done, as you pointed out, the reply will go to all participants.

Which theme are you using? Do you see the problem if you activate Twenty Fifteen?

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Try searching the Plugin Directory.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

do you have any idea how to use this filter ?

add_filter( 'bp_activity_total_activities_sql', function( $sql, $where_sql, $sort ) {
    // Manipulate $sql here.

    return $sql;
}, 10, 3 );

Check out BP_User_Query

BP_User_Query

search_terms, meta_key and meta_value could be helpful depending on where you’ve stored your label data. I haven’t tried it, but xprofile_query might also be useful.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

OK. So if you open the project in a text editor such as Light Table or Brackets, then hit Ctrl + F, you should see a search box appear which will let you find what you need to.

Do you have files locally on your own computer or are they on a server elsewhere?

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Run a search in your code base for bp_add_friend_button(). Depending on your theme it could be in quite a few files.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Try de-activating all of your plugins. Sometimes a plugin can conflict with the log in process.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

In that case you need to get that value from your database, and then use it inside a function to filter the default image URL.

if ( $value == 'M' ) {
    $url = ''; // Set the URL to the male avatar.
} else {
    $url = ''; // Set the URL to the female avatar.
}
return $url;

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

remove_action( 'bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button', 5 ); should work.

Try looking inside your templates to see if the bp_add_friend_button() function is used to output the button directly.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

.save {
    color: #aaa; // This will change the text colour
    background-color: #fff;
}

.save is the selector. You can find the selector you need by looking at your button’s class in the page source code. For example:

...
<button class="save"></button>
...

It should be 100% compatible right now. Can you describe the problem you’re seeing?

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Do you capture gender from your users?

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Hi @stefannita

Try asking this question on the plugin’s support forum.

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-profile-search

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Hi @semperaye

Unfortunately, CSS isn’t a great solution here. To get this done properly, you will need to do 3 things:

1. Profile

Either implement a redirect or respond with a 404 page not found when an admin profile is visited.

2. Member directory

Use bp_parse_args() to filter the loop so that all admins are removed.

3. Activity stream

Again you can use bp_parse_args() to filter the loop so that all admins are removed.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Do you have the private messages component activated?

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

You can’t copy and paste WordPress unfortunately. You’ll need to set up a database and upload the core files then run an install script. Check with your hosting company as a 1-click install might be available.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Do you mean like a deactivate option? That isn’t available right now in BuddyPress.

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

I think this should be a question for the core team. You should post it on Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

[@henrywright Moderator 10 years, 5 months ago]

Yes, try letting your theme’s author know via their support channel. Hopefully they can release a fix.
