Considering you need to use a custom where clause to get your data, you should do what @shanebp suggests here:

Just make it a custom function that you call wherever you want.

My tweak only makes sense when a simple adjustment to $count is needed.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

are there any guidelines for issue posting?

Anything that you think may help the core team really. Usually a list of steps describing how to reproduce the problem is super useful. Also, as much info about your setup as you can such as plugins activated, theme, whether you use multisite, which browser you use and so on.

Whilst notifications is a BuddyPress component, it’s actually bbPress that handles this particular notification via their bbp_buddypress_add_notification() function. If you pass the following link to the bbPress guys, they should be able to take it from here.

If you need anything else just shout.

3 reports in 3 weeks sounds as though there could be an issue here. Can you open a ticket on Trac?

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

You can use the same username and password that you use here in the forum to log in. Please provide as much background info as you can regarding your setup.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Inside the function, there’s a bp_get_total_group_count filter hook which can be used. Something like this as an example:

function my_group_count_filter( $count ) {
    // Do something with $count here.
    return $count;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_total_group_count' ,'my_group_count_filter' );

Oh, and you’ll need preg_match().

Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Would it be easiest to search for any text preceded by a “@”?

Yeah that’s a good idea. The regex pattern you’ll need will be something like @[0-9a-Z_-]+. That will find within the activity item’s text all strings that begin with an @ character which is followed by one or more lowercase or uppercase characters, including numbers and the – and _ characters. Please note I haven’t tested.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Right, I see! I’m thinking you’ll need to use a regular expression to get the mentioned user’s username from the activity item’s text. Then you can do a user lookup using that username. From there you’ll have everything you need to know about the mentioned user.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

echo bp_member_user_id(); will output the user ID. How are you outputting the 35, 170 cm part?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Do you mean grab the username and avatar of @-mentioned users for a) activity items already posted or b) new activity items going forward?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @goakes

Yes that’s right, you can copy and paste the code into your child theme’s functions.php file.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

There’s currently also 29 themes in the WordPress Theme Dir tagged “BuddyPress”. See here. I’m not sure if any of these will be different to the themes you’ve seen already at BP Inspire, but it’s worth taking a look 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

echo bp_member_user_id(); will output an integer (user ID) like this 38. Is that what you want to happen?

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @julia_b

http://www.bpinspire.com/ might be useful to you. It showcases lots of popular BuddyPress websites and themes.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @veelow

Try asking this question over at bbPress.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

My first thought is how best to open a selectable list of members. You could use a modal but if the list of members is long (30 or more) then a modal + list might not be the best approach.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

That information never arrived at the email.

Just a thought, check your spam folder as sometimes activation emails end up there.

I attempted another registration with different credentials and email and this time nothing happened.

This might be a problem with your theme. Try activating TwentyFifteen and complete the registration form again. Also deactivate any plugins you’ve installed, just to be sure none of those are causing the problem.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Here’s an example which strips all HTML from the text of activity comments:

function filter_activity_comment_text( $content ) {
    $content = wp_filter_nohtml_kses( $content );
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_comment_content', 'filter_activity_comment_text' );

Note, this won’t strip HTML from activity items that already exist.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

The template you’ll need to override is entry.php.

Ref: https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

Sometimes registration emails aren’t sent

Are you sure they’re not being sent? Could it be that they’re not being received (gone into a spam or junk folder)?

If the user skips this they can login normally

They can log in but unless they’ve activated their account via the email that was sent, or you have manually activated them, they won’t be able to do much on your site. Their privileges will be restricted.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

a) If I click to “View” the message (not the html link), in the majority of cases I’m taken to the error page. I’m not clear why this is the case?

Did you happen to delete those activity items? The reason I think you are getting the error page is because those activity items don’t exist.

b) Is there a way to disable html coding in these message boxes?

Yes. You need to filter the text so that all HTML tags are stripped out. There are WordPress functions that can do this for you. See wp_filter_nohtml_kses().

Ref: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_filter_nohtml_kses

2. How do you get the edit facility to appear under Profile? I have Extended Profiles checked. I can only see “View” and “Change Profile Photo”.

This could be a theme issue. Try activating TwentyFifteen to see if you get the edit facility appear.

3. Is there a way to disable the html coding for all of the message boxes i.e. site-wide, private, public, groups and members?

Yes, but it isn’t as straightforward as updating a setting. You’ll need to filter each one, using wp_filter_nohtml_kses() to strip out the tags, as mentioned above.

Hope this helps!

Hi @damland

Thanks for the report. Bug reports can be opened on Trac:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

The username and password you use here in the forums will work there too.

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

There is a guide available showing how to get started with Poedit. It isn’t technically demanding, but you do need to follow the steps carefully. Hope this helps!

https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/handbook/tools/poedit/

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

I think it’s pretty straightforward. Try this:

function my_bp_members_loop( $retval ) {
    $retval['exclude'] = 1; // This needs to be the ID of your admin user.
    return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_members_parse_args', 'my_bp_members_loop' );

[@henrywright Moderator 11 years, 1 month ago]

This can be done with bp_parse_args(). See the Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops article for a tutorial.
