The functionality is available but I think it may work only for a member’s ‘friends’ by default. Take a look at this thread by @r-a-y which discusses how to make the feature work for all users.

Note: The thread is 4 years old but I assume the code still works.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @tomatillo

Try bp_current_action( ‘following’ ) and bp_current_action( ‘followers’ )

Edit: I actually meant use bp_is_current_action() so

bp_is_current_action( 'following' ) and bp_is_current_action( 'followers' )

Hi @spymasterhugh009

Check out the links on the left-hand side of the Getting Started page.

It’s the best place to start when learning BuddyPress. Good luck!

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

For some strange reason it’s working today (in Chrome). Wasn’t working all day yesterday (in Chrome). I haven’t made any changes to my phone aside from installing the Firefox and Dolphin browsers from the Play store.

I’m not complaining though 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Ah sorry, by PM I thought you may have been referring to public messaging (also known as @-mentions). Auto-complete should work on the private messaging compose screen too. Have you tested?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Perhaps use http://imgur.com/ to upload a screenshot. Which plugins do you have installed?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @rickymainwaring

What’s DoppelMe™?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @barchiola

The @-mentions interface has been recently improved actually. Check out the BuddyPress 2.1 “Patsy” blog post for more info on the revamp.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

@modemlooper do you have any more info on the bug? I seem to be having the problem on my Samsung 4 Mini running Android 4.2.2

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

@harry4039 if your server can handle the load then I don’t see a problem with having 10,000s users. Take wordpress.org and wordpress.com for example, I’m sure they have 10,000 + users. @djpaul will know more about those builds than me, but I’m sure both sites use WordPress 🙂

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Also have to think about some sort of mobile / tablet situation as it never had one before.

For this sort of thing, you can use CSS media queries. Check out this article for a little info.

Hi @bonnsaikitty

Check out this thread that recently discusses some of the options available:

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

@nd1 you were right, functions.php is the file it should go into.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Try this function:

function bp_set_notification_default( $user_id ) {
    $keys = array( 'notification_activity_new_mention', 'notification_activity_new_reply', 'notification_friends_friendship_accepted', 'notification_friends_friendship_request', 'notification_groups_admin_promotion', 'notification_groups_group_updated', 'notification_groups_invite', 'notification_groups_membership_request', 'notification_messages_new_message', 'notification_messages_new_notice' );

    foreach ( $keys as $key ) {
        update_user_meta( $user_id, $key, 'no' );
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'bp_set_notification_default', 100, 1 );

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

I’m not quite sure what you want to do. Can you explain a little more?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

Hi @nd1

Which email notification do you want to disable? Can you provide the text so I know which one?

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years ago]

The problem with loading scripts in the footer by default is dependency. Take jQuery for example, if WordPress were to load jQuery in the footer by default and a WordPress theme developer then loaded some jQuery-dependent code in the header or body then that jQuery-dependent code wouldn’t work. It’s these considerations the BuddyPress core developers have to make.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Take a look at this tutorial:

Load Next WordPress Posts With AJAX

It’s a good attempt at explaining how AJAX can be used to load more WordPress posts. The solution isn’t 100% perfect for you a) because it applies to WordPress posts and not BuddyPress activity items and b) the query is slightly off if a new post happens to be published between initial page load and load more button click.

*But* it should give you a good starting point to gain understanding on how AJAX *might* be used to load more items into the DOM.

Hi @requiemz

500 internal server errors can result from a lots of things. You’ll need to provide some more info as there isn’t much to go on from what you’ve wrote.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

i am quite puzzled that this only happens with this theme on this server. not with other themes on this server and not at all on other servers

What is this particular theme doing differently? I hate these kind of problems but once you can figure that out, you have the source of the problem.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

@hnla are you sure? I make 4194276 bytes roughly 4 megabytes.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

The bit that I can’t quite wrap my head around, 4194276 bytes isn’t much. It amounts to ~ 4 megabytes. I would have thought WPEngine could handle more than that. It isn’t like you’re doing some dynamic image editing which requires 100mb + memory. Can you find out from WPEngine what their memory limit actually is? If it’s more than 4mb then there could be something else at play here. If it’s less than 4mb then the issue is almost certainly their memory limit.

Just to note, you could try setting the memory limit in .htaccess but some hosts may not honour it depending on their setup.

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @valuser

I’d guess this is a memory issue. The error message tells us that the following query fails and that 4194276 bytes is needed.

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT b.blog_id) FROM wp_bp_user_blogs b LEFT JOIN wp_blogs wb ON b.blog_id = wb.blog_id WHERE wb.deleted = 0 AND wb.spam = 0 AND wb.mature = 0 AND wb.archived = '0' AND user_id = 1

Have you looked into what is currently used as the memory limit?

Try increasing your memory limit in your php.ini file like this:

memory_limit = 32M

[@henrywright Moderator 12 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @dogguyjosh

You could certainly achieve something like this with WordPress and BuddyPress (and maybe one or two more plugins). Try searching the WordPress Plugin Directory for membership plugins and try some out on a test install to see which work best for you.

Regarding Geolocation, I’ve used Geo Mashup and can recommend it. That said, I haven’t tried it with BuddyPress but I have found the developer usually responds to support questions if anything is needed to be asked. See their Google Group

Hi @namrons

This will most likely need a Trac ticket. Feel free to create one here:
