KS Web Designer replied to the topic Display Private Message Time rather than Time Since Sent in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 11 years ago

Perfect, that did the trick. For anyone else following this be sure to add the semi-colon after return $thread_template->message->date_sent so the snippet reads:

function absolute_message_sent_date() { global $thread_template; return $thread_template->message->date_sent; }

Just one quick follow-up question. How do I change the date…[Read more]

KS Web Designer started the topic Display Private Message Time rather than Time Since Sent in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 11 years ago

I’m sure the answer to this is fairly simple, just can’t seem to find anyone who knows it…

In the messages/single.php template there is this code:
<span class="activity"><?php bp_the_thread_message_time_since(); ?></span>

This calculates the time since a private message was sent and displays it something like this: “Sent 5 minutes ago”.

Is…[Read more]

KS Web Designer replied to the topic Displaying logged in user profile field value outside the loop in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years ago

Thanks again, just needed one slight tweak. Final code is as follows:

<?php echo 'Hi ' . bp_core_get_username( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) . ' – Account Type: ' . xprofile_get_field_data( 'FIELD NAME OR ID', bp_loggedin_user_id() ); ?>

Didn’t need the “field=” for xprofile… Works using either the field name or the id.

KS Web Designer replied to the topic Displaying logged in user profile field value outside the loop in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years ago

Thanks, it kinda works. Only if I’m viewing my profile page. If I view any other page on the site it doesn’t find the value and just displays: Account:

I am trying to run this in the header.php file of my template…

KS Web Designer started the topic Displaying logged in user profile field value outside the loop in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years ago

Hi, in my header file I would like to display the value of one of my xprofile fields for the currently logged in user. The field ID is “11”.

Basically I want an output that says something like:
“Hi [username] – Account Type: [value of field 11]”

No problem getting the username, but I just can’t seem to access the value of field 11?

Spot on! Thanks @shanebp

KS Web Designer started the topic [Resolved] Retrieving username within the members-loop in the forum How-to & Troubleshooting 11 years, 1 month ago

I have been editing the member list that’s shown on the member directory page. I am trying to show the username instead of the full name next to the avatar. So within the loop <?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?> I tried using <?php echo bp_displayed_user_username(); ?>, but that doesn’t show anything on the page. Where am I going…

KS Web Designer started the topic Listing user profiles filtered on xprofile field in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years, 1 month ago

Is it possible to generate a page that lists users that have a certain value within a custom profile field. If, for example, I made a drop down list that asked for a persons favourite colour and the options were ‘Blue’ or ‘Green’ could I make a template that would give me access to the profile data for the two sets of users?

Thanks

KS Web Designer replied to the topic Editing sign up form text in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years, 1 month ago

Thanks that’s very helpful.

However I also need to make some code changes in the same general area, so if someone can help me locate the right place to be making those changes I would also appreciate it.

Thanks

KS Web Designer started the topic Editing sign up form text in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years, 1 month ago

This is probably a very silly question, but. How do I edit the text above the registration form. The bit that reads: “Registering for this site is easy, just fill in the fields below and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.”

I have tried editing both of these files (which contain the text) but it didn’t…[Read more]

KS Web Designer replied to the topic Search page to search custom user fields in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years, 1 month ago

So I’m trying to figure this out on my own and I got as far as finding out that since BuddyPress 1.7 there’s a new class: BP_User_Query – which should be similar to the standard wordpress WP_User_Query

However the official BuddyPress documentation page for the class is just a holding page (argh!) – https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/class-refe…[Read more]

KS Web Designer started the topic Search page to search custom user fields in the forum Creating & Extending 11 years, 1 month ago

Hi, I would like to create a custom search page that allows users to select various criteria from user profiles to search on. For example if I create a profile field that allows user to select either male or female in their profile I would also like to allow users searching to filter on that field.

Can anyone help or point me in a useful direction?
