@nahummadrid – This is a known bug. Using bp_core_remove_nav_item() will remove access to those pages as well. Right now, I’d suggest hiding the nav item via CSS or by hacking the $bp global to remove the item.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

@shanebp, @nahummadrid – The problem is BP Follow uses an older method to add items to the nav. The plugin needs to be updated to use the newer BP conventions; I’m thinking of asking Andy for contributor access.

In the meantime, you need to make sure your code runs after BP Follow.

Change:
`add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘sc_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );`

to

`add_action( ‘init’, ‘sc_remove_nav_tabs’, 15 );`

And it should work.

Ahh cool!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

@celsosoares – I haven’t debugged your code fully, but this section:

`WHERE meta_value = ‘favorite_count’ ORDER BY meta_value`

should be:

`WHERE meta_key = ‘favorite_count’ ORDER BY meta_value DESC`

—

Also, the documentation for the `include` parameter indicates that you have to pass a comma-delimited list of activity IDs.

So you’ll need to change this:

“

to:

`
<?php
$ids = implode( ‘,’, $favorite_id );

if ( bp_has_activities( ‘include=’ . $ids ) ) : ?>`

—

Again, I haven’t tested this, but give it a shot!

@beppe999 – That’s one way of doing it. It’s a quick way to achieve what you want, however you lose the ability to properly paginate and to grab a specific amount of members.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

First, you’ll need to know how to create a shortcode:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Then, you’ll need to add the shortcode parameters you just created from the article above in a BP members loop:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-members-loop/

Check out the “bp_core_mysteryman_src” and “bp_core_fetch_avatar” filters located in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

This article details a little bit of how to do it:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-add-a-custom-default-avatar-for-buddypress-members-and-groups/

Please read the second point in the “Registration” section:

You should preferably use:
“

In the example above, if header-example.php doesn’t exist, it will always fallback to the default header.php.

Yup, BuddyPress will always be free! If you paid for it, try and get a refund
There will never be a paid version.

However, there are some 3rd-party premium themes and plugins that you can add to BuddyPress, which will cost a bit of moolah.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

Hi,

Try reading these sections of the BuddyPress codex:

Check out the bp_activity_add() function in /bp-activity.php.

Then you’ll need to add your custom activity to the dropdown select menu.

Check out the bp_activity_type_tabs action in /bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php.
Make sure your scope matches the <li> id.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

This will most likely have to be done on the frontend with javascript.

Brush up on your jQuery! Look up “jquery conditional form fields” on Google.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

I’m assuming you’ve already generated an icon. If you haven’t, you can try a site like:
http://www.favicon.cc/

Next, upload your `favicon.ico` to the root of your WordPress install. (This is where files like wp-config.php reside.)
You’ll most likely need to connect to your site via FTP in order to do this.

`bp_get_member_profile_data` is only specific to one member. It will not grab all users with a certain xprofile field nor is there a built-in function that will do what you want.

I’d write a custom function to return the user IDs that match a certain field. Then use the `include` parameter in the members loop to do what you want to do.

eg. `if ( bp_has_members( ‘include=’ . my_custom_function() ) ) : `

`my_custom_function()` will have to be written!

If you know your way around WordPress, check out the `wp_bp_xprofile_data` table in your DB and a way to query the WPDB for hints. The `xprofile_get_field_id_from_name()` function will help as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

This isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

If you know your way around WordPress, here’s one way of doing what you want to achieve:

The favorite count for each activity item is stored in the activity meta table (wp_bp_activity_meta). So you could probably query the DB and grab all the “activity_id” sorted descendingly by the “favorite_count” meta_value.

Then you could use a BP activity loop and use the `include` parameter to add the activity IDs you grabbed from your WPDB query.

Hey Andrew,

You can customize these types of messages by modifying the language file:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

Okay, sorry forgot that the patch was for BP 1.3.

Just open up bp-xprofile-templatetags.php and find lines 197-8 from the first patch and remove them.

You could also override the “alt” CSS class with the “bp_field_css_classes” filter.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

Use a language file:
https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

FYI, you currently can’t override /_inc/ajax.php in your child theme as the template path is hardcoded to the parent:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L19

Needs to be patched to use STYLESHEETPATH instead of TEMPLATEPATH.

Regarding your problem, make sure you haven’t changed any of the list tab IDs. The AJAX requests rely on the IDs of the tabs.

Plugin probably wasn’t by Andy FWIW. There’s a bug on the bp.org plugin groups section that sometimes defaults to Andy being the plugin author.

If it’s an admin menu problem, then read the post on the BP development blog:

Or:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 7 months ago]

You’d have to modify the AJAX query string.

@ultimateuser – Since you were manually modifying the profile field loop to hide a certain field, you’d also have to apply both patches.

Amended again! Should work now as I’ve actually tested it this time
