Yeah, this issue has already been reported on Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2681

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Could be a memory problem.

Have you tried manually uploading the plugins to the server via FTP and then activating them in the admin area?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Apparently, the link no longer exists on WPMUDev; the developer of the plugin says the next release will be available on wordpress.org/extend/plugins/.

@risi @modemlooper – Just added a sticky for this over here:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/forum/topic/embed-ly-plugin-support/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Like I said, if you’re using any caching or redirecting plugins please disable them and test.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Sorry about that! I thought it would work. Looks like BP is missing some template tags for this.

This will work.

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

`
function bp_topic_poster_is_admin() {
global $topic_template;
return BP_Groups_Member::check_is_admin( $topic_template->post->poster_id, bp_get_the_topic_object_id() );
}

function bp_topic_poster_is_mod() {
global $topic_template;
return BP_Groups_Member::check_is_mod( $topic_template->post->poster_id, bp_get_the_topic_object_id() );
}`

Then use this in your template:

`if ( function_exists( ‘bp_topic_poster_is_mod’ ) ) :
if ( bp_topic_poster_is_mod() ) echo ‘Group Moderator’;
endif;`

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Try it!

Be sure to wrap it around php tags though.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

I don’t understand your issue; I navigate straight to this URL:
http://www.eziny.net/

I am able to access your posts without being redirected to the register page.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

It’s a server thing with the way the *press.org sites are hosted; don’t ask me the specifics as I have no idea!

If you really need to show an avatar, then follow what modemlooper said.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Yeah, the second code; I was just trying to explain where you can find useful functions for groups

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

BuddyPress’ forums are group-specific like the forums on Facebook’s group pages.

If you’re looking for a traditional forum, then stick with phpBB.

Also, stay tuned to the new bbPress WordPress plugin:
https://trac.bbpress.org/timeline

There will probably be an alpha release for that in the next month or so.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Check out /buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php.

In particular, here are the conditional functions you’re looking for:

`bp_group_is_admin(); // will return true if the user is a group admin

bp_group_is_mod(); // will return true if the user is a group mod`

Use in a conditional statement and you’re good to go!

eg.

`if ( bp_group_is_mod() ) echo ‘Group Moderator’;`

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

It’s better to be clear when posting!

You can use this snippet in your theme’s functions.php:

`function ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name( $name ) {
global $forum_template;

return str_replace($forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_displayname, $forum_template->topic->topic_last_poster_login, $name);
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’, ‘ray_bp_get_the_topic_last_poster_name’ );`

This snippet is part of my BuddyPress Usernames Only plugin, which you might be interested in:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

If your site has open registration like you say, then users shouldn’t be redirected to the register page when they’re trying to read a post.

Do you have any redirection or private BuddyPress plugins installed?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

@imjscn – Works for me.

Like I said, the code only works during the forum topic loop.

The corresponding template is:
/groups/single/forum/topic.php

Look for this line:

“

Then, add the following and see what pops up on the screen:

Check out the BP Skeleton Component:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

It teaches you how to create a whole plugin for BuddyPress; you won’t need to use all the code in the skeleton component, but it’ll help you structure your code for BP.

The functions you want to look at in particular are:
`bp_example_setup_globals()
bp_example_setup_nav()`

Both are located in bp-example-core.php.

Hope that helps.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

There are two hooks BuddyPress uses when editing a profile that you can hook into:

`do_action( ‘xprofile_profile_field_data_updated’, $field_id, $_POST );
do_action( ‘xprofile_updated_profile’, $bp->displayed_user->id, $posted_field_ids, $errors );`

These actions are in the xprofile_screen_edit_profile() function in bp-xprofile.php.

If you’re unfamilar with WP plugin development, check out the WP Plugin API:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

@bigjimmysisco – Please try the amended code; I was typing on the fly and forgot to end the conditional statement!

The function_exists() conditional is important because if you ever upgrade BP Template Pack, you’ll get an error.

@mercime – Yeah, I’m looking forward to the release as well

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Create a new WP page with the verbiage you want to add.

You might want to create your new page with a custom page template:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

Then set this new page as your frontpage:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Reading_SubPanel

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

The code you’re looking for is this:

`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
switch ( $activity->component ) {
case ‘groups’ :
case ‘friends’ :
// Only insert avatar if one exists
if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {
$reverse_content = strrev( $action );
$position = strpos( $reverse_content, ‘a<' );
$action = substr_replace( $action, $secondary_avatar, -$position – 2, 0 );
}
break;
}

return $action;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’, 10, 2 );
endif;`

Add to your theme’s functions.php.

*Sidenote: I’m working on my own “template pack” plugin, tentatively titled “BuddyPress Theme Unite!”, which will make it way easier for theme developers to add support for BuddyPress to their WP theme.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

`function bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username() {
global $topic_template;

if ( !$link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename, $topic_template->post->poster_login ) )
return __( ‘Deleted User’, ‘buddypress’ );

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username’, ‘post->poster_login . ‘”>’ . $topic_template->post->poster_login . ‘‘ );
}`

Then use the following in your template:

`if ( function_exists( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username’ ) ) echo bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username();`

This will only work in a forum topic loop.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

The code should work without friends enabled, though I haven’t tested thoroughly.

I’m guessing you’re using the BP Followers plugin?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

There’s a new group category plugin that might help you out:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-hierarchy/

I haven’t tested it though.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

The register page uses a BP template:
/registration/register.php

You could add some verbiage before the registration form in that template, perhaps a link to your blog post?

If you’re currently using the bp-default theme, create a child theme, copy /registration/register.php to your child theme and modify the template anyway you like (just don’t break anything

[@r-a-y Keymaster 15 years, 9 months ago]

If user #1 becomes a friend of user #2, then the wp_bp_friends will add only 1 entry to the wp_bp_friends DB, not two.

Hope that helps.
