BuddyPress.org

@r-a-y Wow!! Not sure what the problem was but after replacing the function, it works. Thank you!

More info: for some reason it returns my username as “admin” even though I deleted the “admin” user a long time ago. My profile page even uses “admin” in the URL: http://piphut.com/members/admin However I user @r-a-y ‘s username only plugin and it shows up correctly as “piphut” in my blog comments. So the problem appears to […]

@r-a-y Hey, even better for me! 😉

@r-a-y I hadn’t, yet, but there are filters on that name in bp-core-templatetags.php, which is where I copied it from. Using that filter does match what BP does for its templatetag loop. I’ll look at it in more detail after work. @pjnu I hate to be boring, but disable each plugin other than BuddyPress and Welcome Pack […]

Heh, that’s a new feature in the latest version: Stealth Mode™, to stop people looking over your shoulder.

Seriously however, I bet you’re using @r-a-y‘s user names only plugin? I have heard it causes this problem.

@r-a-y (“Usernames are unique.”) Only when they are required to be unique. You could also require display/real names to be unique. The emerging standard is that the email address has to be unique. The @mentions system could check by the email address connected to the real name. There really is no excuse to keep a username […]

@r-a-y I take it that it is this area of code

/* MEMBER OVERRIDES —————— */

// used in member directory
function ray_bp_member_username() {
global $members_template;

return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_member_name’ , ‘ray_bp_member_username’ );

How should it look after it’s edited? I’m still finding…[Read more]

@r-a-y yep works beautifully and of course one doesn’t remove the amended sql query just the function call in functions.php.

@r-a-y ah thanks I’ll give that a shot, but reverting the changes after successful completion will just produce the same issue if one dectivates/reactivates BP or am I thinking that through incorrectly (guess I’ll know after running it 🙂 )

@r-a-y what file are you referring to with that sql query earlier as at the moment each deactivation reactivation of BP simply wipes the reset fields in that table. Users seem correct. tbh I’m not prepared to waste too much time on this as it was only out of curiosity and I hadn’t intended trying to […]

@grosbouff @r-a-y

if you want to have a look, suggestions are quite appreciated, thanks!
if you want to help to finish the update, it will be appreciated too, because I need the plugin if I want to finish the professional social network I’d like to create.

@r-a-y

Hil,
Just noticed that this plugin and Paul’s Welcome Pack plugin are incompatible as when the usernames only plugin is active NO names show under the Friends Pop down in Welcome pack.

Any way to make them compatible?
Thanks
Ross 🙂

I’ve sent this to Paul too.

@russnm – the avatar problem has been reported (#2400) and @r-a-y‘s contributed a solution. There may be several avatar problems.

Please someone report any other issues, including this blog list one, to https://trac.buddypress.org/. I’m wondering if something added for WP 3.0 has broken WP 2.9.x installs.

@r-a-y

I have added your line:
define( 'BP_AVATAR_URL', 'http:///nijmegeneet.nl/club/wp-content/uploads' );
to my bp-custom.php

That works fine. Thanks for helping me out!

@r-a-y Works like a charm R-A-Y! Thank you!

@r-a-y, @eborg9 is right, this is happening with me too, in the activity stream it always shows the username but in the rest of the site it shows the display name

@r-a-y

I’m using BuddyPress on a subdirectory:

http://nijmegeneet.nl/club/

After upgrading to 1.2.4 my avatars are gone!

I’m not using a custom BP_AVATAR_URL

Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!

Thank you @r-a-y. “bookmarked”
