In reply to: Looking for the code to customize Buddypress menu
Ah got you, I can confirm clicking on blog based notifications does not clear the notification.
Could you raise a bug report on Trac?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/
Once you’ve done that I’ll add some comments about my own testing.
In reply to: Notification issue.By the way, Im testing on BP Legacy, which BP theme are you using?
In reply to: Notification issue.My Admin user wrote an activity update and my user replied to that activity update. The admin user got a notification and clicking on that notification took them to the activity entry and removed the notification.
My admin user then commented on the users comment. The user got a notification and clicking on that notification took them to the admin comment and removed the notification.
In reply to: Making Group home pages independent from eachotherHi there,
I’m not exactly sure what you are looking for, do you want the link to change when it’s viewed in each group? is the link a group based link?
In reply to: Adjust or remove the “Send To” box in Messagethe name and id is
send-to-inputIn reply to: Notification issue.I just sent admin a message, it came up in the notifications window, I clicked on that notification, it took me to the message and removed the notification.
In reply to: Notification issue.I’m not getting that on my test system, I mark them a read, either as a user or admin and the are no longer shown as notifications.
In reply to: Notification issue.Hi there,
Which notification in particular is doing this? All or just some types?
In reply to: Allow each user to have internal profilesSorry no, not without quite a bit of coding. You’d need to create a new BP component for the sub profiles and code all of the options. Quite a bit of work I would guess.
In reply to: Suggestion for a theme to use with BPHi Tammy, These days most themes work with BuddyPress, although there can be occasional inconsistencies.
In general there are two types of themes, general themes not written specifically for BuddyPress these are typically free. There are also BP specific themes, often for a cost and written specifically with BP in mind.
Personally I use general themes and add the custom features I want. In the majority of cases you don’t actually need to do much customisation to get the site feel that you desire.
So really the decision is about the specific visual attributes of the theme as they apply to the site you want to create and for that only you know what you are looking for.
Which items are you referring to?
I think this would be quite a bit of work to acheive, should be doable but you’d have to rewite a lot of functions and behaviours. I don’t think it’s trivial effort. Can you code?
In reply to: Marking users in activity using the “@” tagHi there,
There’s two aspects to this. Firstly the inital list that gets displayed is based on the users friends list and it’s prepopulated on page load. To remove this you can add the following to your functions.php:
remove_action( 'bp_activity_mentions_prime_results', 'bp_friends_prime_mentions_results' );Secondly when a user types @xx there is a lookup for mentions suggestions against
bp_core_get_suggestionsif you return an empty array then no mention names will be displayed. Note that as it stands this will remove all mentions suggestions, so not just in activity but also in messaging etc. if you want to be more specific you will need to add a conditional which returns an empty array for only thse pages where you want that behaviour.add_filter( 'bp_core_get_suggestions', 'bpex_filter_suggestions', 10, 2 ); function bpex_filter_suggestions( $retval, $args ) { return array(); }In reply to: Age instead BirthdayHi Ben,
How did you get on with this? I’ve been playing with profile fields and I’ve come up with a solution to this, however there is a bug in BP which prevents it from working:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8082#ticket
Also, in doing this I realised that it would be simpler to add this as a feature to the existing datebox that comes with BP, it already has an option to display the elapsed time and it’s not too difficult to add another option for Age:
This ones free – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-views/
In reply to: Adjust or remove the “Send To” box in MessageI think you must be using the BP Legacy template as the BP Nouveau version of compose does not do that. So that is one option – move to BP Nouveau in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.
Otherwise I’m not sure what to suggest, the input field is needed to add new recipients so you can’t hide it.
In reply to: Allow each user to have internal profilesHi there,
I don’t believe this is a feature of BuddyPress, what would be the purpose of it?
In reply to: Where do profile fields show up?A few years ago I was in exactly the same boat as you, I guess we all have to start somewhere. If I were you I’ve remove some of the complexity to your setup by deactivating MemberPress and then proceed to configure your site just with BuddyPress and see how far you get creating your ideal site. BP has a great many features and options and with a wide range of plugins available for it there should be very few scenarios that BP cannot deliver for you.
In reply to: How to send email update to BuddyPress usersI don’t think there’s a bulk emailer specific for BuddyPress, not seen one anyway, the closest I’ve seen is https://wordpress.org/plugins/mass-messaging-in-buddypress/ which sends bulk messages. Of course BuddyPress users are also WordPress users so any plugin for wordpress that emails all users would work.
In reply to: Marking users in activity using the “@” tagI think there’s some code you could add to your site you make sure no users get listed. Are you using BP Legacy or BP Nouveau ( Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options )?
In reply to: Where do profile fields show up?What are you using memberPress for? Maybe there’s an alternative so you can deactivate it?
In reply to: Where do profile fields show up?Sorry no, I don’t know MemberPress, maybe you could ask their support?
In reply to: Where do profile fields show up?You definitely don’t want to have two sets of registration data.
In reply to: add “create new forum” to BP menu?You’d need to ask in the bbPress forums for a definitive answer as they are the ones best place to answer questions relating to forums – https://bbpress.org/forums/.
However to the best of my knowledge bbPress forums ( as opposed to forums created in BuddyPress groups ) can only be created by site admin, users can’t create them and there is no front end interface to allow users to create forums on their own.
So you could place the link in the BuddyPress menu, but for most users it would come back as not allowed.
In reply to: Where do profile fields show up?Hi there,
In Users>>Profile Fields there is the default Base profile Field Group. The fields are included in the Registration form inputs, if you make any of these required the user can’t sign up unless they fill them out.
You can create other field groups, but the fields on these are not included in the registration page and would need to be filled out after registration.
At the front end, site users viewing the page
sitename.com/members/username/profile, There user can edit these fields by accessing the agesitename.com/members/username/edit.As an admin you can view these details by going to the Users page in admin, for each user there is an Extended link which allows you to view and edit the users Extended Profile (xProfile).
When you are editing the profile field there’s a setting to Autolink the profile field, this should include it in the Members search.
