Sounds like you need some extra integration that what follow already provides. I’ve not seen anything that does that off the shelf. How’s your coding skills?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Thee’s a few plugins for that, never used either myself, maybe you could ask the developer? Mind it’s a content posting plugin so I’d not expect any issues.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Maybe you should look at BuddyPress Follow?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Looking at Display widgets the version I have allows you to display a widget on all profile pages, it does not allow you to select specific pages within the profile pages. I also notice there is a version available for download here:

https://seo-gold.com/display-widgets-plus-plugin/

The author promised a premium version but it looks like he never got round to creating it.

One option that I’d think about would be to modify this plugin to provide you will the desired functionality. most of the hardwork has already been done in that it’s picking up the bp profile pages to the virtual url used is supported, it would just require some further logic to only display on a specific profile page.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

No, I never tested that, what it did allow was for me to create a sidebar that would only display in the members profile page for example, or in the group home page. That’s as far as my testing got.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

What error are you getting?

I’ve set my wp-config settings to be the same as you have set and I don’t get an error.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Yes it does, I tested it a while back and the one issue I found was that the site started to get very complex when it came to sidebars, and the widgets page does not take to that compexity too well – it gets clunky when you are displaying lots of sidebars and widgets.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Content Aware sidebars does this, but in my view it costs too much for that feature, it’s something that I’d like to see a solution for, along with more profile and group specific widgets to use in those places.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Which plugins are you talking about? Some plugins can work for years after the last update.

I recommend moderating new sign ups using BP Registration Options and coupling that with required registration fields that allow you to judge who is requesting signup. ( “About me” for example, spammers typically fill this with spam, so a dead giveaway, “location” is another one, spammers rarely declare their location to be that reflected in their IP address).

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

What I do is use a plugin that only displays the widget on specific pages – it’s called Display Widgets SEO Plus, unfortunately that’s been removed from the repository. An alternative is to use Content Aware Sidebars Pro (premium version) to create sidebars specific to those pages and insert your widgets there.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

I think the first step for this would be to ask the Followers plugin developers to add this as a feature to their plugin.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

All of the fields that are in the Base field group will appear in the registration page, if you add another field group and add those fields there they will not be shown on registration.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

What Varun means is he thinks this is an old notice that’s not been removed, so login as admin and make sure you delete any sitewide notices that are still set up. Go to Profile>>Messages>>All Member Notices, you should be able to delete any there.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Well the function that is probably being used is messages_send_notice, but that’s not guaranteed, you’d need to search for that in your plugins and theme directories files, that’s where the function you are looking for are likely to reside.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

I find it a bit strange myself, that only admin can moderate

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

This is the default behaviour for BP, only Group Admin can delete other members activity updates.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

This thread seems to have a tip to help:

Disable buddypress login page and switch back to wordpress default login.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

It sounds like you need to hire someone with knowledge to look at your site and remove that function. It could have been added in a number of ways. Could even be done via a plugin.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

functions.php or bp-custom.php is possibly where an additional function has been setup to create the notice:

wp-content/themes/your child theme/functions.php

or

wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Is it in your functions.php or wp-custom.php?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

That’s interesting. I just created a new user, they did not show up in the members list until I actually logged them in, then they appeared, and in the members widget too.

So it looks like there is a problem with your site blocking those users from appearing active. What other plugins are you running?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

Give it a try, get them to do something and see if they appear.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

The widget will only display users who have logged in and have been active on the site, it won’t display users who have registered but not logged in.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

You could overload activity/entry.php and instead of:

if ( bp_activity_user_can_delete() ) bp_activity_delete_link();

You could do:

if ( current_user_can('manage_options') ) bp_activity_delete_link();

That’s one option.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 6 months ago]

You mean something like this:

function venutius_change_profile_settings_edit_tab() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :

	$access        = bp_core_can_edit_settings();
	$slug          = bp_get_settings_slug();

	$args = array(
		'parent_slug'     => $slug,
		'subnav_slug'	  => 'notifications',
		'screen_function' => 'bp_settings_screen_notification',
		'user_has_access' => $access
		);
 
	bp_core_new_nav_default( $args );

	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'general' );

	endif;

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'venutius_change_profile_settings_edit_tab' );
