thanks @ubernaut +1

@modemlooper yes, I understand that but you’re missing the whole point… why has there been no prograss in 2 years? And yes, I do realize that it could be done as a plugin but again, that is missing the point! As it is, imho this mentality of functionality being in plugins vs. core has gone way too far.

@modemlooper Thanks, I did know about hiring a coder to build a plugin. But you’ll note that’s not what I asked.

The article lays it on a bit too thick but it does have a point. For example, the ticket on custom post types has languished without any attention after a great initial discussion. And it has been punted several times already.

@modemlooper & Henry, thanks for your help so far.
Ok . . . . . I have just done a fresh install of WP and BP in a sub domain and not in a separate folder as it was before. So the address is now ‘cyc.manorway.org.uk’ All the HTTPS’s have gone (there were a lot of them looking at the browser source code!).
The next problem: I can now get into the…[Read more]

@modemlooper got ya! I see now – perhaps the pagination needs the actions variables to be available. Hiding the subnav (but still keeping it) works.

Thanks for all your help in this thread, appreciate it! 🙂

Now i’m off to learn about why this blasted pagination query needs the action variables in order to work…

@modemlooper tried the space, it didn’t work very well for me.

looking through BP core – i noticed every single component has a subnav set – even BP Follow has subnavs set – it’s making me think subnavs (bp_current_actions) are needed as the BP Follow subnavs are highly redundant:

members/username/following/following
members/username/followers/followers

@modemlooper

bp_current_component
bp_current_action
bp_action_variables

members/user/bp_current_component/bp_current_action/bp_action_variables

So bp_current_component is the main nav item, bp_current_action is the subnav item and bp_action_variables is what comes after that.

bp_dump() shows me that when bp_current_action has a value,…[Read more]

@modemlooper ah yes I see! – I suppose if it works, why not 🙂

@modemlooper not sure I follow?

@modemlooper – Great stuff, as in doing this?

$nav = array(
'name' => __( 'Component name', 'bp-component-name' ),
'slug' => 'component-name',
'position' => 80,
'screen_function' => 'bp_component_blah'
);

This does give the page I need:

example.com/members/username/component-name

Although this leads…[Read more]

As @modemlooper stated you should not use that plugin. Please review:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

You would build a theme like any standard WordPress theme.

@modemlooper Thanks, I’ll give that a shot but then I may decide not to edit them altogether as they work well already. I could add my own .js elsewhere

@hnla the site I’m working on was built pre BP 1.7 so uses a child theme of bp-default. I thought that BP assumes add_theme_support for bp-default child themes?

@hkcharlie
Once upon a time @modemlooper had a plugin that would do this but he removed it from the repository. The only downside was it did not give any options to order the nav item. It just added a profile nav item at the end of the other nav items. I have no clue if he has this available anywhere on the net. Sorry!

@modemlooper
“Neither Facebook, Twitter or Google+ allow yo to edit activity/ status updates. Seems like it’s the normal on the interwebs.”

Facebook does let you edit now.

Even if they didn’t, is that a good reason to not allow it on buddypress? Facebook do lots of things that don’t follow the “golden rule”.

@modemlooper,

I have the same need but snippet did not work for me. I am running Running BP 1.81.

@realista69
This is contains the same basic subject matter as your other post:

@modemlooper has already given you advice there so check it out.

Hi

Thanks @modemlooper I managed to figure it out after trying a few things and your conditional helped me deduce it.

if ( bp_is_current_component(‘activity’) && !bp_is_user_activity() ) {

worked for me.
(redirect if on main activity page but not own activity)

@modemlooper Thanks for your reply 🙂 I believe what you suggested in the first place is possible, I just posted the entire PHP file at http://pastebin.com/WnpZsY1t – It’s the “actions.php” file from the “buddy press-messages-attachment” plugin. The code excerpt I posted was lines 47-50. Where would I embed the code you suggest to make this work out?

@modemlooper Clearly given up on the English language as well are no longer for sell

” no longer for sails ” and you probably meant ” after a donut-ation
