BuddyPress.org

Hi eyg1,

I already replied to this in your update.

For future reference, please refrain from posting about your problem in multiple places as that is unnecessary.

Ahh, I understand why it doesn’t work right now.
It’s because BuddyPress 1.2.6 hasn’t been released yet with the updated patch.

If you can’t wait for BP 1.2.6, make the following change:
https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/3132

New oEmbed for BP build fixes URL matching with certain providers like Photobucket:

Please test! I want to get this out the door in the next day or two

Just looking over the parameters again, it appears that the “recipients” parameter should be an array.
So try changing that.

PMs and other BP components can be enabled/disabled from the “BuddyPress > Component Setup” page in the WP admin dashboard.

You have to modify the code from that other post to work for groups.

Use a conditional like bp_is_group_home(), then modify the query string to add the “user_id” parameter for the group admin.

Modify to your liking.

“Activity > Groups” works for me. I see only group activity here.

I’m getting the opposite behaviour.
Under “Activity > Personal”, I get all the activity I’ve made including groups.

I can see potential problems with that $args variable you have setup. Try setting up the arguments as an array. $args = array( 'recipients' => $user_id, 'sender_id' => 11, 'subject' => $title, 'content' => $message ); If PMs are disabled, the code will not run. In fact, most likely you’ll get an undefined function […]

To be fair, this is a third-party theme, I’d recommend contacting the authors of that Buddymatic child theme:

Also follow the instructions listed in the post.

I actually brought this up a long time ago when I was a BP noob 😉

Seems like BP is missing a “Remove from group” option in the manage members screen.
This functionality could be added using the groups_leave_group() function.

Needs some investigating.

If you want to emulate the reviews functionality for groups, then I’d recommend building it off the awesome Group Extension API:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/

It’s actually not that hard to build it.

Look at the pretty red arrows! 🙂

I forgot to mention that this won’t fix existing blog posts in the activity stream.
See if new posts work.

FYI, if you’re going to be making changes to the bp-default theme, it’s better to create a child theme:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

Nope, no DB entries for avatars!

Stickies in the support group forums are broken and we have no way to super-sticky them at the very top of the main “Support” or “Community” pages. When Boone gets a chance to tackle some of the site’s issues, I’ll propose this to him 😉 I did start something on the current codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/faqs/specific-faqs/…[Read more]

Notice how I’m linking to a specific post in the thread, rather than the beginning?

The post I’m linking to should allow you to override the BP-truncated excerpt with the original content.
I’ve updated the post above with a direct link to the code I’m referring to.

Add the snippet to your theme’s functions.php.
