I made a cute bp child them, and I am a super dummy in all aspects of coding. Since bp theme works great with a super dummy, I think it should not be considered as a beast

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

Seems this code not working on my site at all.
I also tried another way– hide all activity type with “mini” class by modifying the $nothanks like this:

`$nothanks = bp_get_activity_css_class();`
and
`if ($nothanks=’mini’) `

It does’t work either.
Any idea?

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 8 months ago]

anxious for an answer!

I’ve been trying to edit the group header too. I want to move the “New Topic” button to item body div, exactly like what it shows on this BP site.
I was able to remove the button from group header by add `remove_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ );`
To add the button back into item body, I tried “ , the button shows up but when click, it doesn’t bring the new topic form up to front. What else should I add?

anybody around?

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

I am not excited — this mood is required when you are waiting something good, otherwise it’s gona be a long time , LOL

Actually, I’m preparing some of my pages for 1.3, coz it’s said there will be some front end editing posibilities. So, I am programing some stuffs to add to BP pages.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Great! Thanks for all the dedicate jobs in the mushroom kingdom!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks, Andrea!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@hnla,
I failed to search out your robots.txt thread. But I found this one was recommended in another thread: http://perishablepress.com/press/2010/07/14/blackhole-bad-bots/
I will try it and feed back.
By the way, the .htaccess referer trap doesn’t work.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Thanks, hnla! I will wait the new solution then. No hurry.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@hnla, I got 2 results from googling:
#1. “
#2. `sign in`
#1 requiires to be added in header, I don’t know how to add it in register.php’s header without bothering other pages;
#2 stops bots following the link on other pages, but BP spammers come without a reference page. They know which link is BP register page. I’m not sure if there’s another way for BP.
The above is the reason why I ask Andrea.

I did track down the solutions in this forum. If you pay attention, this topic was posted one month ago. I did my homework. But of course, I didn’t read all the threads, because search in this site is not as efficient as other places. No result if a word or a letter not match. Only accessed the threads that I searched out by different words combinations that I could imagine.

As for the .htaccess method, my research shows it worked for a while, but stop working since WP 2.9. I tried it, I can comfirm it’s not working on my site.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

BP Humanity does blocks the spamers completely, but they still try. For the past month, the total bandwidth comsumed by /register page is 3000MB
@andrea_r , how to disallow bots to follow signup link?

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Great FunkyBuddy! It looks having a New Year celebration

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@luvs123, I just tried it in topic.php, I see the place your might want to add this meta is above the loop. The function need to be working inside loop.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@luvs123, you need to add the first function below the 2nd function to get the starter.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@r-a-y , It works!
Either active the plugin, or paste the filter in function.php, then, add the first snippet below this filter, done!
Thanks!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@r-a-y ,
Sorry for my question wasn’t clear. I need this function works on Forums Directory page. Not on signle topic pag.
If add the above code in topic.php, it does create the post starter’s username. But I need this starter on Forum Directory page, or single Group’s Forum List. Just like this site’s Forum list.
Sorry for being troublesom, but I really wish to get this working.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@r-a-y
Use the function still get “Deleted User”.
In the function, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename , maybe it’s “nickname” instead? Anyway, “nickname” not working either.
By the way, the code for forum-loop.php, missed a “)” before echo, I added it.

Need further help. Thanks!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 9 months ago]

@DJPaul
Thanks for response!
I am making a Questions and Answers forum, so, it’ neccesary to address who asked the question. Would you point some clue on how to create a new function to get the starter’s username?

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

I’m not sure if I’m doing things correctly but it’s working for me this way– I make a copy of register.php, remove the div that I don’t need (eg. “content” ) , also remove the line that calls sidebar, then, save the file as “something.php”. In the page I want to use the register form, inside a div where I want to show the form, use the “locate_template” to call this “something.php”.
If I’ve done things wrong, please correct me.

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

That’s wonderful, BG!
Please make sure you give us a UI to play with

I updated my code to include all the field I need to validate on the signup page:
`<?php
function elsa_err_username( ) {
global $bp;
if ( !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
echo ‘color:red’;
}
add_action ( ‘elsa_err_username’,’elsa_err_username’ );

function elsa_err_email( ){
global $bp;
if ( !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
echo ‘color:red’;
}
add_action ( ‘elsa_err_email’,’elsa_err_email’ );

function elsa_err_pass( ){
global $bp;
if ( !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
echo ‘color:red’;
}
add_action ( ‘elsa_err_pass’,’elsa_err_pass’ );

function elsa_err_x( ) {
global $bp;
if ( $field_id == 1 && !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
echo ‘color:red’;
else
if ( !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
echo ‘color:red’;
}
add_action ( ‘elsa_err_x’,’elsa_err_x’ );
?>`
It get the result of changing the label color if there’s an error. But I guess there has to be a smart way to do it ?
I also removed the line of “do_action(‘bp_ …. error”) which was below each label that need validate. I don’t know what else this line does beside creating a templete for displaying error message. ???
Thanks for helping!

[@imjscn Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

@boonebgorges
I followed your suggestion, got the thing working! However, by my codes, I will have to write down each error for eah label color. Is there a way to run through all the erros and match it with label?
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
In the register.php, I test the signup name field by adding style to the label line like this:
`<label for="signup_username" style="”> `
In the bp-custom.php, I added this function:
`<?php
function elsa_bp_label_color( $errocolor ) {
global $bp;
if ( !empty( $bp->signup->errors ) )
$errorcolor = ‘color:red’;
else
$errorcolor = ”;
return $errorcolor;
}
?>`

Thanks for helping!

@gunju2221
It’s not css, it’s in the process of validation. I need to find which function deliver this error message, then I can work on changing the way it deliver.
