This isn’t a buddyPress issue. Google this for WordPress. There may even be a plugin already.

If not you create an if statement on e same page template:

If user_is_logged_in {

}else{

}

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

I find this completely odd because BuddyPress does not auto create a username on the registration page from the database. Maybe you have mal-ware or something? Also it could be the browser auto filling.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

You choose a front page just like creating a static page in WordPress.

So you basically want someone to develop a site for you? If you do not no how to develop a custom BuddyPress component then hire a developer.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

You can also create your own BuddyPress component that way things you post into it will work similar to Facebook’s activity stream.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

The answer is still the same. There is no OOTB way of doing this and it would require some coding skills to pull off right. If this isn’t something you could manage you might need to hire a developer.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Didn’t you already ask this in another forum post?

As stated in other thread this is not currently possible OOTB. You would have to code your own plugin to handle this type of thing.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

The code I provided is a way to go but you need to figure out the correct if statement to make it work on sitewide activity and not a user profile.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

The loop has never been easy to pick out individual items. The filtering is mainly for type AND to top it off the user activity stream is the same stream as the sitewide just filtered to an individual

Maybe someone else can suggest a way.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

@sirspacey I’m already working on a plugin for this. You can read the discussion here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-add-fields-to-group-creation-with-group-extension-api-please-read/

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-moderation/

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Try something like this:

if ( $bp->current_component != $bp->activity->slug || $bp->current_component == $bp->members->slug )

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Only in groups cam users be moderators. In a groups admin you click manage members and promote or demote members to moderators.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

why not post a notice to have users change their username using this plugin

Allow Your Users to Change their Username on your BuddyPress Based site

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

oh the code above should be placed in a file bp-custom.php in the plugins folder

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Hmm getting somewhere…..

if ( $activity->type ==’activity_update’ && $activity->item_id == ’34’ ) {

the item_id number is the id of the group.

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Maybe someone else can suggest something. I’m not sure you can exclude something that specific in the activity loop.

I tried this code but it doesn’t exclude a specific group just each content type

`function bp_my_activity_filter( $a, $activities ) {
global $bp;

if ( $bp->current_component != $bp->activity->slug )
return $activities;

foreach( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
if ( $activity->type ==’new_forum_topic’ ) {
unset( $activities->activities[$key] );
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count – 1;
$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count – 1;
}
}

$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;
return $activities;
}
add_action( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘bp_my_activity_filter’, 10, 2 );`

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Ok, so tried to move some code from core to create a custom component and nothing worked. Never got a page to create and not sure how to link it to template files.

For example: in bp-activity it has a file bp-activity-template.php and in include array there’s an entry ‘template’. Is this pointing to that file? Do we need to include all these files listed in the array? If I had bp-example-template.php in my array id still use ‘template’?

To me it seemed much easier to create components before. I know I can still use old method but that won’t last forever.

Can somebody update the skeleton component to reflect the new method?

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Duplicate the file header.php to header2.php then call this header in the top of your page template. You can them remove the tabs and have a different header on the page

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

oh wait, silly me was showing you the groups loop.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

It works very similar to WP post loop.

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-groups-loop/

while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘MyGroup’ ) :

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

Should have looked first, man oh man the component code is so much cleaner. Well done, gents!

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

another thing you could try is just create the user accounts in the admin for the page slugs and then not login with them and it won’t activate those accounts

[@modemlooper Moderator 15 years, 2 months ago]

there’s a plugin for that
