I think Conditional Menus would need tweaking to understand that the BP pseudo pages where the menu needs to display: Ask the developer.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Regarding changing the messages BuddyPress shows, you can create your own local translation file using the PoEdit application, see this doc:

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

If you really want to disable the activation emails, there’s an old plugin which I think still works:

BP Disable Activation Reloaded

If you have issues with it let me know.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

You could just overload the buddypress/groups/single/cover-image-header.php file for your bp theme to display the new fields you have added.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

The standard way of doing this is to let the users activate themselves and to use BP Registration Options to approve their application to join. BP Registration Optons does work, I use it on every site I build. It’s generally not a good idea just to activate users without them confirming their email address, it can lead to spam users getting easy access to your site, though you can significantly liit these types of requests if you use the Registration Honeypot plugin.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

You can enable search for names by putting this code in your child themes functions.php:

add_filter( 'bp_activity_get_include_user_search', 'venutius_add_name_to_search' );

function venutius_add_name_to_search( $setting ) {
	return true;
}

Unfortunately there’s not a similar filter for the title, you could raise a feature request for this on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

It looks like you have an extra <?php in your code, so you’ve deleted too much. another opton would be to put the code back and just hide it using style=”display: none;”.

So for example you could change this:

<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'

to

<span class="current-visibility-level" style="display:none;">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'

and add that to all the elements you want to hide.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Just a note, I’ve not tested this, but give it a try, it’s possible that some variation will be required.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Then you can overload the edit.php and ‘register.php` files and remove that attribute.

get ftp access to your site and location wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/single/profile/edit.php

in these files locate and remove:

				<?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_xprofile_change_field_visibility' ) ) : ?>
					<p class="field-visibility-settings-toggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>"><span id="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>-2">
						<?php
						printf(
							__( 'This field can be seen by: %s', 'buddypress' ),
							'<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
						);
						?>
						</span>
						<button type="button" class="visibility-toggle-link" aria-describedby="<?php bp_the_profile_field_input_name(); ?>-2" aria-expanded="false"><?php _ex( 'Change', 'Change profile field visibility level', 'buddypress' ); ?></button>
					</p>

					<div class="field-visibility-settings" id="field-visibility-settings-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<fieldset>
							<legend><?php _e( 'Who can see this field?', 'buddypress' ) ?></legend>

							<?php bp_profile_visibility_radio_buttons() ?>

						</fieldset>
						<button type="button" class="field-visibility-settings-close"><?php _e( 'Close', 'buddypress' ) ?></button>
					</div>
				<?php else : ?>
					<div class="field-visibility-settings-notoggle" id="field-visibility-settings-toggle-<?php bp_the_profile_field_id() ?>">
						<?php
						printf(
							__( 'This field can be seen by: %s', 'buddypress' ),
							'<span class="current-visibility-level">' . bp_get_the_profile_field_visibility_level_label() . '</span>'
						);
						?>
					</div>
				<?php endif ?>

Then place these modified files in `wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php’ and
`wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php’

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Hi there, yes this is possible. You would need to hook on the filter bp_activity_add and use that to send an email to the site admin. You could add this to your child thees functions.php:

add_filter( 'bp_activity_add', 'venutius_activity_admin_notify', 10, 2 );

function venutius_activity_admin_notify( $activity_array, $activity_id ) {
	$site_admin_email = get_option( 'admin_email' );
	$username = bp_core_get_username( $activity_array['user_id']);
	$view_link = bp_get_root_domain() . '/' . bp_get_activity_root_slug() . '/p/' . $activity_id;
	$subject                  = 'New Activity Posted ';
	$message                  = 'A new activity has been published.';
	$message                 .= "\r\n\r\n";
	$message                 .= 'Author' . ': ' . $username . "\r\n";
	$message                 .= 'View the activity' . ': ' . $view_link;
	$result                   = wp_mail( $site_admin_email, $subject, $message );
}

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

I think this is possible to to but would require quite a bit of additional coding on your part, no exisitng plugin would do this.

So for example in the file buddypress/groups/groups-loop.php there is the call to bp_has_members(). It’s possible to add to this the include= argument where you can choose which groups will be found. so you could add a function to this file which checks the user role and inputs only the groups that they can see.

However you’d need additional function to allow you to add your groups to a groups/role list and keep that updaded when new groups are added. Then you could also create a function that adds new groups to this list on creation based on the member role. I’d be tempted to do this using group types but there’s a few options on exactly how this would be implemented.

So it’s not an easy fix and would require custom coding.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Hi, I’m thinking that the user_id is not in the users dp before activation is complete and you might be better hooking on `bp_core_activated_user’ instead?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Which BP Template are you using? Youcan see this in Settings>>BuddyPress>>Options.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

There’s an old plugin called BuddyPress Links which allows members to add links to a links directory and then other members can vote on those links. I think this would probably serve a similar function to what you want. However, it’s out of date and throws a lot of errors. I’ve been working on updating this and have asked the developer the code can be updated. I think for your requirement it would still need some changes so it recognises videos and embeds the video instead of a static thumbnail for the site. I think this is the closest BP has got to delivering what you want easily.

Alternatively there’s MediaPress which allows video links to be added to video galleries. You can also have a sitewide gallery that everyone can add videos to, this could serve as a basis for what you are looking for.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

I’m afraid that method would not work for what you are looking for. I think the only way you could do this would be with some pretty extensive custom code. You’d have to add fields for group descriptions in the other languages your site supports, you’d then need to have these displayed in the group settings page so group creators could add the correct translation of their group description and finally you’d have to change a number of BP functions in order to display the correct translation to the viewer in the groups directory and the group pages. The issue get’s even more complicated when it comes to searching for groups. So I think this is quite difficult to do.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Another one I’ve just discovered is this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/dynamic-user-directory/ not tried it yet but maybe it will overload that page for you and work.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

For side to side members pages you could try my plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-directory-views

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

You’ll need to report this to your theme developer, they are the ones to fix this.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

So let me check, this is definitely a theme problem – you use a different theme and you see the search?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Sorry about that last message, I somehow posted to the wrong thread

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Which elements are missing? I can’t see as I’m not a members of the site, I can see the avatar and title etc. as a not logged in visitor I can see all the elements I’d expect to see.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

It’s going to be a bit difficult supporting you with a premium theme as it’s unlikely any of us has got a copy. What are you trying to do, overload some of the BP template files?

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

I’d try something like this:

<?php 
// Run WP_Query
// change posts_per_page value to limit the number of posts
$per_page = 8;
$following_ids = bp_get_following_ids( array( 'user_id' => $user_id ) );
$args = array(
	         'author__in' => $following_ids,
			'posts_per_page' => $per_page,
			'author'		 => $following_ids
		);                                              
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
//begin loop
while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post(); ?>

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

Are you setting the $user_id? Also you are not passing the following id’s into the query, you can use the author parameter for that, you may need to restructure the following id’s into the right format for the query. Not sure what you are doing with the meta query.

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

$following_ids = bp_get_following_ids( array( 'user_id' => $user_id ) );

[@venutius Moderator 7 years, 7 months ago]

What did you try? do you have the code?
