Something like this definitely needs to be in WP core!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

@tak5haka – If $profileTagClean returns an array, then you need to print out the variable as an array to debug further.

What happens when you use the following instead of echo?
`print_r($profileTagClean);`

@gwu123 – code snippet has been revised; forgot to set priority so it runs earlier.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

oEmbed is not a video uploading plugin. It relies heavily on 3rd-party sites like YouTube, Vimeo et al.

SInce you’re using P2 to write a blog post, you should try enabling auto-embeds in WordPress:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Media_SubPanel

Make sure “Auto-embeds” is checked.

Also read the codex page for more info:

WordPress will most likely build on top of 2010. They will not make a theme called 2011, unless the design is radically different.
Much like Kubrick to 2010 was a totally different design.

For example, P2 adds features on top of their theme all the time and I think a lot of people appreciate that.

Maybe new features should be a theme option…

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

Make sure your functions.php looks like this:

`<?php
/* Disable default themes header stuff */
define( ‘BP_DTHEME_DISABLE_CUSTOM_HEADER’, true );
?>`

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

Looks like you’re using a plugin as there is no stock option for that in WordPress network mode.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

Template Pack needs to be updated… I’m not sure who’s in charge of that plugin as of right now.

Ping @djpaul!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

The whole point of having a child theme is inheriting all the cool, new features of the parent theme; I think we shouldn’t be making comments after the fact BP 1.2.6 was released. The core team asked many times for testers to the 1.2 branch; some did test, but many did not.

Like it’s been stated, secondary avatars can be removed by getting rid of the filter. I do agree that blog avatars shouldn’t be used since you can’t even declare a blog avatar yet. However, you can get rid of that quite easily by duplicating the secondary avatar function and removing the “blogs” case.

The following code will work in your theme’s functions.php:

`function ray_secondary_avatar_fix() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’, 10, 2 );

// add the following if you still want secondary avatars, but omitting the blog one
function my_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’, ‘my_bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’, 10, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘ray_secondary_avatar_fix’, 9 );`

I do agree that there should be a better changelog for changes made to bp-default. Maybe in the codex?
[ EDIT: changelog created here – https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-default-theme-changelog/ ]

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

It’s in BP 1.3 trunk I believe.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

@intimez – Just checked Private Messages for Friends Only and the plugin still works fine on BP 1.2.6.

BP 1.2.6 made some changes to the way buttons are rendered.

If you modified the member header in your child theme, you’ll need to look at the changes made to /members/single/member-header.php and apply them.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

Codex page has been updated to be less confusing.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years ago]

It’s out now, so I expect no more replies to this thread!

Okay, if you really want to say your prayers, here’s the blog post:

BuddyPress 1.2.6

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

You would need to modify the profile loop template so only BP site admins can edit the profile field in question.

Get acquainted with the profile loop:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/

Which you can modify in your BuddyPress theme’s /members/single/profile/edit.php file.

You can use `is_super_admin()` to check if the logged in user is the admin.

There’s a problem with curling quotations (`“`) not (“) because it will give that T_STRING error.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

Make sure you’re not using quotations in the date() function.

Try this:
`date(‘D M j Y G:i:s’, strtotime(bp_get_the_topic_time()));`

I replied to a similar thread a while ago; I’ll try to dig it up.

Instead of trying to change the URL of the activity feed, you should redirect the feed to the Feedburner URL.

Read this excellent blog entry by Jeff Starr for hints:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

Hi @tubruk,

From what you typed, I can’t really confirm what it is you want to do.

Sounds more like a theme issue, you might want to check modemlooper’s BP Columns theme for hints on how to structure the page into 3 columns:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/bp-columns

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

Can’t you just create and upload a new favicon in the root of your server?
eg. example.com/favicon.ico

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

The main juice is the filter.

What you’ll want to do is disable the current filter and write a conditional to activate the filter (depending on where you want it to be enabled).

Let’s say you wanted to disable oEmbed from the home page, something like the following will work in your theme’s functions.php:

`remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘ray_bp_oembed’, 9 );
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content’, ‘ray_bp_oembed’, 9 );

if( !is_front_page() ) {
// re add the filters
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘ray_bp_oembed’, 9 );
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_content’, ‘ray_bp_oembed’, 9 );
}`

You might have to play around with the conditional to get it right, but hopefully this gives you an idea.

*Word of warning: I’m restructuring the plugin, so these filters will need to change for v0.6.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

This should preferably be posted in the oEmbed BP forum:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/oembed-for-buddypress/forum

But anyway… yup it should be possible.

Would have to write a custom activity fetch routine to do this. Might add this for oEmbed for BP 0.7 (that’s right, I’m talking about 0.7 before 0.6 is officially released!).

Re: thumbnails – I’m working on support for that for v0.6. Not all providers will return thumbnails. YouTube will work though.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

Okay, so I’ll probably create a plugin for this in the coming week or two. Please remind me if I don’t get to this!

@dougjoseph – Your ideas have been discussed before.

Using activity as wire in Buddypress 1.2 themes

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

FYI, I posted a solution in the thread Roger linked to.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 1 month ago]

@rgauny + @rogercoathup:

Like Rich said, @mentions- are basically a filter and a nav item.
It should be possible to remove the filter and the nav item by doing the following:

1) Removing the filter

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

`
// removes @mention links in updates, forum posts, etc.
remove_filter( ‘bp_activity_new_update_content’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
remove_filter( ‘groups_activity_new_update_content’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
remove_filter( ‘pre_comment_content’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
remove_filter( ‘group_forum_topic_text_before_save’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
remove_filter( ‘group_forum_post_text_before_save’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );
remove_filter( ‘bp_activity_comment_content’, ‘bp_activity_at_name_filter’ );

// remove @mention email notifications
remove_action( ‘bp_activity_posted_update’, ‘bp_activity_at_message_notification’, 10, 3 );
remove_action( ‘bp_groups_posted_update’, ‘groups_at_message_notification’, 10, 4 );
`

2) Removing the subnav:

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

`function ray_remove_mention_nav() {
global $bp;

bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, ‘mentions’ );
}
add_action( ‘init’, ‘ray_remove_mention_nav’ );`

Then, copy over /bp-default/activity/index.php to your child theme and remove the hardcoded li#activity-mentions from /activity/index.php.

Et voila! @mentions- are gone!

Might turn this into a plugin if requested.

—

*Edit: Also need to remove the table row on the “Settings > Notifications” page. This can be done by removing and duplicating the existing bp_activity_screen_notification_settings() function (located in /buddypress/bp-activity.php) hooked to the “bp_notification_settings” action.
