Use a filter. Check out the filters in /bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

@ovizii – I deleted your other post in the FAQ. No need to post in two places.

Your bug is a known one in WP 3.0.

@danhay – It’s disabled, but you can still edit it! (it’s kind of a hack!)

Make sure you’re logged in to the WP admin area, then go to:
http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-profile-setup&group_id=1&field_id=1&mode=edit_field

Change example.com to your website address.

@dmcdmc – You’ll have to manually upgrade to BP 1.1.3 before upgrading to BP 1.2.4.1.

@parkstreet – Gotcha!

Looks like this issue has been reported:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2415

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@mercime – Just looked into this bug… and found the problem! Check out ticket #2431.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@parkstreet – I think you’re making this way too complicated!

The easiest way is to copy over the /blogs/blogs-loop.php to your child theme and use the template tag: bp_blog_description() somewhere in the loop.

There’s an action to hook into in the bp-default template, but the hook is after the last activity block, which is probably not where you want the blog description to show up.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

There’s currently a bug in BP where if you have a role less than administrator, your blog and user role will not show up under “My Blogs”.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

To rename the “Home” tab, add the following line to the “forum tab displayed first” snippet listed above:
$bp->bp_options_nav = 'Activity';

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

@socialsnus – You fix the member profile problem by adding the following code snippet to wp-config.php:

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

If you just created the bp-custom.php file, you need open and closing PHP tags.

Look at the bp_blogs_record_post() function in bp-blogs.php.

Are you sure it isn’t possible to hook into the “bp_blogs_activity_new_post_content” filter?
Using the $post variable, I’m pretty sure you can grab the $post->ID. From there, you should be able to use the get_post_meta() function and grab the custom field.

Append and return your extra custom field content to the “bp_blogs_activity_new_post_content” filter and it should work.

Though if Brajesh says he’s having trouble, then there’s probably another issue at work here.

If you’re using WPMU, then you’d need to use switch_to_blog() to grab the postmeta… which is quite intensive…

@discotoast – Deactivate that Terms of Use 2 plugin and you should be able to register on your site.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

I’m running BP 1.2.4.1 and it’s working for me.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

If you activated BuddyPress sitewide, this should work across all sites.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

It could be a case-sensitive issue.
Try using lowercase characters in the bpgc_loader() function in bpgc-core.php

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

A child theme is basically a stylesheet with a tag telling WordPress to use another theme as its foundation.
Then you can inherit all the templates that foundation theme uses and you can also override these templates in your own child theme.

Please read the article I linked to and start reading from the “Let’s start building” section.
If you have any questions about it, please list them.

@nuprn1 – Ahh okay, I thought Nick was talking about this:
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2009/04/23/comment-reply-via-email-open-to-all/

The “Post via Email” option you mentioned isn’t available in WPMU, which is what I have on my testbox.
Am wondering if this option is available in WP 3.0 in network mode?

An interesting plugin idea indeed! The only thing I’m worried about is the email address that users will be sending to. It could get potentially hammered! I know this will definitely not work well on shared hosts.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

It’s not compatible with IE6. IE6 just dropped below 5% market share in the US, so it’s not a priority for BP devs to add compatibility for a poorly-designed and rendered browser.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

If you built a child theme from the default BP theme, then your changes will never get wiped out.

Something I forgot to mention last night is you can also use a customized language file to make changes to the tab names:

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

That’s only on WordPress.com and only for blog comments. It’s proprietary code unless Automattic decide to release it to wordpress.org. And then someone would need to adapt it for BP as well.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 5 months ago]

Not a great technique because when you upgrade BP, all your changes will be gone!

I’d rather do something like this in my theme’s functions.php:


function my_bp_group_overrides() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_options_nav = 'Group Home';
$bp->bp_options_nav = 'Group Forum';
$bp->bp_options_nav = 'Group Admin';
}
add_action('get_header', 'my_bp_group_overrides');
