@danbp Ah yeah no doubt, although surely if it’s changed in one place it should be changed in all occurrences? “Create [group]” for example would also need changed.
… or just add a login link to your site anywhere in your theme files. e.g <a href="<?php echo wp_login_url(bp_loggedin_user_domain()); ?>"><?php _e('Login', 'buddypress'); ?></a>.
This will redirect a user to their profile page after logging in.
@danbp yeah, sorry about that :). Reason I went a bit further was when working on a theme earlier I was using a function get_displayed_group_id() or something with a similar name. I was expecting a return value but it was echoing no matter where I placed this.
Ended up using a different method.
Just wondered if there were other functions inside BuddyPress that looked like a return value but had output instead.
Inside your theme, make sure there is a file wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php. If there is no file in that location copy this file wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php into the first location.
Then, look at line number 28 – 32 of post-form.php.
From there, you will notice you can change this text for the activity update form which reads “What’s new in “GROUP NAME” if you’re on a group page posting the update or “What’s new USERNAME” if you’re any where else.
So, to swap in a specific profile field you’d need to supply a bit more about the nature of your project and how it’s setup. You could simply drop in some static text, but if you want it to relate to a specific profile field in a dynamic way then please elaborate further.
If you want direct uploading on the activity stream there are a few plugin choices that exist. I think one is called RTMedia and there is also one from BuddyBoss.
With regard to activity posts going to the top on older items. I can’t help you with that at the moment, maybe someone else will come along.
