Does the tab work right on the default theme? If so, it’s your theme that is the issue and your theme author should have the skills necessary to fix this!
Would love to help, but not sure about a few things. What version of WP are you running, what version of BP are you running, what theme are you using, what plugins are you using. Please provide hyperlinks to the plugins and the theme (as names can be identical and difficult to track down)
to change home page, what are you using for your home page button?
You’ll need to use is_user_logged_in() and output a different a href depending on the result. You’ll also want to hardcode the menu link into your template (ie: not use the wp nav menu for home buttons) take a look at header.php!
Wangguard worked for me for a while but spammers started slipping through the cracks. A great plugin (which you can use in conjunction with wanngguard) is recaptcha:
I am having the same issue. intuition tells me this is a JS issue. Currently tested on Chrome.
Have left this issue (forgot about it) until I read this.
Here’s a few troubleshooting things you could try:
First the mundane things that should always be done when something isnt working right (lol):
0. Try in all browsers – see if this is a browser issue or not, clear cache etc
1. Try using buddypress default theme, see if it stops there then you know its something to do with your theme. (then we go from there)
2. If still having the problem, try without all other plugins disabled – if it works now then you know it has something to do with a plugin.
Haven’t really dug into this (too many other irons in the fire!!) but am curious about it, hope you get it resolved and will follow this thread.
I have figured out how to get this in the header, without hacking bp or running a custom sql query.
So basically, what I did was create a function that loads the data by using global $bp, and a very powerful $bp function known as bp_activity_get
Now that I’ve dissected your bp-activity-functions.php file the sky is the limit.
Here’s a very small sample of this in action (mine also grabs rtmedia etc, now finally facebook will grab any images uploaded and all the content, finally)
First, you want a function that is going to run in the <head> tag like so:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'insert_fb_in_head', 5 );
So it’s going to run in wp_head (yay) and it will be called ‘insert_fb_in_head’, priority lvl 5.
You may also want to load bp_head() before you run wp_head() in your header.php file. I didn’t test it the other way around, just know this WORKS:
I fixed the css issues you brought to my attention. Also fixed the number count (broke after updating to 1.9 beta, had to copy over legacy again to fix)
As for only one image showing up in your activity feed that is strange, did you try editing entry.php?
@modemlooper why was bp made this way? seems to be bad engineering, despite it’s awesomeness. trust me when I say, it is a great web application. Just hate it’s architecture, to be blunt it’s highly limiting compared to wp. can’t grab outside loop? wth? Anyway love it though, love it.
@danbp That really does help, I see how I can grab db info for the future.
Great! the code I posted above should work then. I havent tested it but that will work if you’re using permalinks. becuase bp will do members/user_login/profile/ by default so you jsut need their user_login which you can ECHO out via the PHP using wordpress alone.
IF you’re familiar with wp_nav_menu() (see wp codex) bp_nav_menu() behaves the same way, and that’s the easiest way, I”ve found, to customize it. I hope this helps
