I’m new so I don’t know what trac is, and whether this is an issue or if I’m doing it wrong.

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

Same issue (details below)

In this file {themename}\members\single\member-header.php, is the following code:

		<?php
		/***
		 * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
		 * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
		 */
		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

		 ?>

I have some custom profile fields, so I replaced the ‘do_action’ with these:

		<h3>About Me<h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About' ); ?>

		<h3>Birthday</h3>
		<?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Birthday' ); ?>

When I click on the Edit Profile link, I can change visibility settings, and it appears to save them. BUT the saved settings don’t do anything. In another browser where I’m not logged in at all, I can always see all of the fields listed, no matter which settings were chosen.

Advice?

Update:
I searched through BP files for ‘bp_activity_latest_update’. When you find it you see it’s echo of the function ‘bp_get_activity_latest_update’. I copied this function into my theme, renamed it, and removed one line.

In theme file, where you want to place status, put the following:

	<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) : ?>

		<div class="statusnote" style="border:1px solid;">

			<?php //override 'View' button
			function tty_get_activity_latest_update( $user_id = false ) {

			if ( empty( $user_id ) )
			$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

			if ( bp_is_user_inactive( $user_id ) )
			return false;

			if ( !$update = bp_get_user_meta( $user_id, 'bp_latest_update', true ) )
			return false;

			$latest_update = apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_latest_update_excerpt', trim( strip_tags( bp_create_excerpt( $update['content'], 358 ) ) ) );
			return apply_filters( 'tty_get_activity_latest_update', $latest_update  );
			}
			?>

			<?php echo tty_get_activity_latest_update(); ?>

		</div>

	<?php endif; ?>

Then remove the old one from members/single/member-header.php:

		<?php if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) : ?>

			<div id="latest-update">

				<?php bp_activity_latest_update( bp_displayed_user_id() ); ?>

			</div>

		<?php endif; ?>

The patch seems to be working – I pasted it into functions.php.
Thanks!

I tried this solution, with no effect:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-wordpress-blog-comments-not-appearing-in-buddypress-activity-stream/

Are my WP comments not appearing because my dev site is behind a password, or maybe because of our other security measures?

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 2 months ago]

I tried to do this. I created bp-custom.php, and placed it in plugins directory (not in plugins/buddypress). the function gets as far as //return $user_id, and will display it, but doesn’t seem to know what $update is.

	<?php

	//Remove view button on status update

	function tty_activity_latest_update( $user_id = false ) {
		echo tty_get_activity_latest_update( $user_id );
	}

	function tty_get_activity_latest_update( $user_id = false ) {
		global $bp;

		if ( !$user_id ) {
		$user_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
		}

		//return $user_id;

		if ( !$update = get_usermeta( $user_id, 'bp_latest_update' ) ) {
			return false;
		}

	$latest_update = trim( strip_tags( $update ) );

	return apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_latest_update', $latest_update );
	}

	?>

wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\MYTHEME\members\single\home.php

In case it saves anyone else 5 hours of looking, here’s what worked for me. Copy the files from the default theme and do NOT put them all in a folder named buddypress, which was how I interpreted the codex entry. Also, for my theme, I needed to comment out line 80 of home.php:

<?php //get_sidebar( 'buddypress' ); ?>

Since my theme has no sidebars, this was making my site go splat.

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

I’m trying to edit home.php, and specifically the nav menu. Copied file:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\home.php
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\home.php

Edited this line:

<div style="border:5px solid red">
<?php do_action( 'bp_member_options_nav' ); ?>
</div>

Should I see a red border around the nav menu? Nothing happens.

Which file(s) would I use to edit the default layout for this URL:
http://www.mysite.com/members/membername

I am assuming this is Xprofile (the page that I get when I click on someone’s name). I want to edit how this profile looks for all members. So far, all the file structures that I tried, failed to produce an edit to this main page.

@ davni:
If this helps, the following structure produced an edit on the Profile tab inside the Member profile. I copied this file and made an edit:
wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\members\single\profile.php

Then I created this directory structure:
wp-content\themes\mytheme\buddypress\members\single\profile.php

This doesn’t edit the main profile page, but instead, the tab inside it. Still don’t know how to edit main layout.

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 3 months ago]

I have similar confusion. I have read the BP codex entry here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/

It says to create files inside your theme, in a folder called /buddypress. I am unable to match this template hierarchy against the plugin files, in order to do edits in my theme. I downloaded several themes to look for an example, but none of them had a /buddypress folder. So, I cannot figure out what directory structure I should have, and which files to copy.

I guess I will try copying the files from bp-themes/bp-default into {mytheme}/buddypress.

If anyone needs this snippet, here’s how I displayed ProfileX data in my theme’s comments.php. Inside your custom comments layout, add this:

<?php
$author_id = get_comment(get_comment_ID())->user_id;
if (function_exists('bp_get_profile_field_data')) {
	$bp_location = bp_get_profile_field_data('field=Location&user_id='.$author_id);
	if ($bp_location) {
		echo '<div class="authorinfo">'. $bp_location . '</div>';
	}
}
?>

You will need to change ‘location’ to the name of your ProfileX field.
Note that, if you allow users to comment who are not logged in, the $author_id will be zero.

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 4 months ago]

This is for customized comments on custom post types. The specific question is what user ID I would use, to display an xProfile field for each comment author.

I found WP’s comment author name and link, but not ID. If I did manage to get the comment author ID somehow (haven’t managed that yet), would it work with BP’s fields?

[@trinzia Participant 11 years, 4 months ago]

I would like to display data from Xprofile next to member’s comments.

I added an Xprofile field for Location, and can show it in my theme:

$bp_location = bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=Location&user_id=’.bp_loggedin_user_id());
echo $bp_location;

This is showing the location of the logged in user, not the comment author.
Any idea how I could show the Location field for each comment author? WP codex didn’t have comment-author-ID, and I wasn’t sure if BP uses the same IDs anyway.

Thanks!
