Yes, it’s missing from the API. If you want it as a single function call, you can always write your own: my_activity_user_nicename() and put it in your bp-custom.php

And, submit it to the trac as an API enhancement!

@antonrsa off the top of my head, isn’t that just a theming issue… Modding your loop? Or does the core template tag spit out all the replies en masse?

@adelack Bp-album+ (I think it’s called bp media now) was going to be my other suggestion… It’s definitely a good starting point for your image upload challenges. Good luck with your site.

Yes, I suspect the group template only has the current group initialised when you are on a single group page. So, only has one group to loop over. The same as being on a single post page vs. a category page in standard WordPress. We had a similar issue with the activity loop. Try passing […]

@ch8rt – rather than write that long nested if structure, put your group names into an array, and then check if the bp_get_group_name is in that array, using the PHP in_array() function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

@pollyplummer – Yes, an exclude parameter would be very useful – it came up in another forum thread recently as well

Pass the ID into bp_core_get_username

@adelack – I would follow the recommendation from @lightcapturer and try the oEmbed plugin – which will let you pull images from urls If you want actual image upload features, that would be much harder work – you could look at how the avatar upload code works for profiles and try to find some ideas from […]

You could look at adding a filter on: bp_get_displayed_user_nav_ . $user_nav_item to remove the blog menu.

Or, take a look at these functions in bp-core.php:

function bp_core_new_nav_item( $args = ” )
function bp_core_remove_nav_item( $parent_id )

I’m not 100% sure what you are trying to achieve. Do you want to add an extra filtering option on the activity list? This will involve some UI work as well as a call to bp_has_activities() template tag. I think you might be getting confused between the bp_has_activities() template tag, and the bp_has_activities hook / […]

follow up: I took a look at the BuddyPress widget pack… that gives you widgets for member (popular, etc.) not for groups. To set the tab order in the tabbed widgets plugin, it looks like you can just do it from the widget’s admin panel… changing the tab from the dropdown. Unfortunately, the widget broke […]

@annchristine –

In general, you need to look in the wp-content/plugins folder to find the code for your widgets.

The code for the built-in groups widget is in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-widgets.php

You should post this request in the jobs board not in the gallery https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-jobs-board/

@tubruk if you are having a problem using Adam at Hyperspatial’s functions for age (they look fine to me), then please leave a comment for him on his blog The code you have for gender needs to be used inside a loop that’s iterating over fields, and have the correct profile fields and values set up […]

@djpaul @nuprn1 – Thanks for the help guys: calling the second loop bp_has_activities() with a full set of parameters overrode the default settings for the page and fixed the problem.

@nuprn1 – yes, they were running sequentially, but the second one was just returning the same activities as the first. As @djpaul suggests, I’ll make sure it’s getting a fuller set of parameters passed in its bp_has_activities() initiation, to keep it showing all activities. Hopefully, this should fix the PHP call. It’s late here – I’ll leave […]

@djpaul – I put some edits in my comment above – it looks like our posts crossed.

My two streams are independent (i.e. not nested)… I’ll try setting them both up with a full set of parameters specified, and see if that allows them to show different content.

Cheers, Roger

@djpaul, @nuprn1 – I ran into a stack of problems with this approach: 1. A call to make a new BP_Activity_Template requires a full set of parameters (it doesn’t default them). 2. All the bp_ functions, e.g. bp_has_activities() work on a single global activities template ($activities_template) 3. The methods (functions) you can call directly on the…[Read more]

@djpaul, @nuprn1 : I was thinking both the AJAX and the PHP switching tabs (e.g. between Personal, Friends, etc. on the Profile .. Activity page). I have a mini activity sidebar widget that’s permanently around showing all site activity. When a user is on a profile activity page, there is also the main activity stream. Essentially, I […]
