BuddyPress.org

I’m pretty sure this came up recently, and the core team had been unable to replicate — @djpaul was this something you were looking at?

@natetheaverage –

an outline solution (there are lots of areas where you’d have to work to implement it):

When a group is created, you could write a hook that creates a corresponding xprofile field group […]

Did you complete the BuddyPress setup wizard in wp-admin? Including creating the pages?

For new users, you need to enable new user registrations in wp-admin settings

You’ll find the various files in the members/single folder. member-header.php and home.php are ones you should start with

@jason — It’s something that could be built, but it’s a reasonable chunk of development work, which would need some thought and investigation.

I doubt anyone on the forum has done anything like this wrt […]

I suggest you post follow up as a separate question so people don’t miss it. We tend to switch off the admin bar, so I’m not sure what’s available on there.

You’ll probably need to upgrade your BuddyPress version for compatibility with the latest version of WordPress.

Unfortunately, a number of look / feel aspects typically change when you upgrade BuddyPress […]

Then you need to add an action that hooks in the function you want to run:

add_action ( ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’, ‘my_function’ );

If you read the link I gave earlier, it explains how this action whole process works.

dynamic_sidebar () is a WordPress core function for pulling in a sidebar that you’ve configured in wp-admin… settings.. menus.

There’s no built in switch to do this, but it is quite easy to code –

You’d need to hook onto the bp_activity_add action, and use the messages_new_message() function to send the email to the admin.

Yes, this is standard behaviour with BuddyPress on a multisite install.

Enable site tracking in your BuddyPress settings.

Looks like @djpaul and I posted simultaneously!

@ndugger I don’t know of a plugin that supports these permissions — so, you’d would need to get your hands dirty in the PHP code. I would suggest assigning WordPress user roles to members, and then in the […]

it’s not a function itself… it’s a call to the do_action() function, passing ‘bp_after_sidebar_me’ as the parameter. The call is being made in sidebar.php in the bp-default template folder.

You can find […]

@frank13 — there is no specific script for a do_action ( ‘abc123’ );
