Are those strings from BP or MyCred?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

during initial registration, WordPress has yet to create a user_id for the member, so can not save the avatar, only after the user has confirmed their email address will WordPress be able to save the avatar and reference it to that user.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

There’s two immediate options – BP Better Registration includes avatar upload in the registration process and BuddyPress Force Profile Photo https://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-force-profile-photo/ sets the site so users cannot access it unless they have a profile photo set.

I mean the debug log in WordPress.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

None I’ve seen

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Have you tried disabling all other plugins except for BuddyPress?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

There’s a few plugins that provide shortcodes, take a look at the BP Activity Shortcode and also Shortcodes for BuddyPress in wordpress.org.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Sounds like you have hit the limits of your hosting, you could ask your provider to increase those limits, it could be a timeout or maybe a memory limit.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Do you get any errors in the debug log?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Yep open another thread 🙂

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

You can overload the register page, but I’m not aware how you can disable it and have BP running.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

That’s a bit strange, It’s not a known bug, I can’t replicate it. I’ve turn on debugging and see if there are any errors.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

I can’t work out exactly what you are asking, but maybe you should take a look at this:

Activity dropdown filters in templates

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

There’s no easy way. The Plugiin BP Better Registration manipulates the registration page so it’s not impossible, just would need quite a bit of coding I reckon.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

What are you trying to achieve?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Just search the forum for past suggestions, this thread for example explains how to change the menu ordering:

BP 2.6.1.1 – Object of class BP_Core_BP_Nav_BackCompat could not be converted to string error

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Hold the presses! I’ve found a plugin that promises to deliver what you need!

Shortcodes for BuddyPress

If you install this one, it seems to have a group list shortcode where you can specify the id of the user that each group will belong to.

For example [groups-listing user_id=1]

I think this should in the least show all the groups you are a member of, WBCOM, the plugin author are also quite active and may add a feature for an admin= option.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

So for other group creators to have a shortcode that showcases their groups?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Actually I don’t think my way will work, it only lists out the groups that the user is a member of, not groups created by you. You could ask the plugin creator to add a feature to the BuddyPress Extended User Groups widget. http://www.buddydev.com have a support forum and generally welcome suggestions for plugin enhancements.

I’m not even sure David’s suggestion is going to work for you, are you thinking about making this feature available for others to use?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Which way do you want to go? Coding or none-coding?

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Regarding point 3, I have discovered one way to do this.

You would need to overload the members-header.php (if not using cover images) or cover-image-header.php file, located in plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single

Copy this file to themes/YOURTHEME/buddypress/members/single

Then after line 36 insert the following:

<div id="online">
    <?php
    global $bp;
    function check_is_user_online($user_id){
        if ( bp_has_members( 'type=online&include='.$user_id) ) return true;
        else return false;
    }
    $this_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
    $is_online = check_is_user_online($this_id);
    if ($is_online) echo "<label><img src='http://yourserver.com/wp-content/uploads/online.png' /> Online</Label>";
    else{ echo "<label><img src='http://http:yourserver.com/wp-content/uploads//offline.jpg' /> Offline</label>";}
    ?>
</div>

Replace the URL’s for the images to your own links and that should work, you can style it using the id #online

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

There must be an error there, youTube vids should automatically embed, so I suggest checking for plugin conflicts.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Is the link one that is supported by embed? my understanding is that only links with supported URL’s will embed, one such link would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Ideally though, you should fork this by changing it’s name and plugin specific references to your own plugin references.

[@venutius Moderator 8 years, 7 months ago]

Hi billysgtr, I’ve done it, you need to make the following changes to bp-pms-for-friends.php:

Line 69 replace:

if ( ! friends_check_friendship( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $recipient->user_id ) ) {
	unset( $message_info->recipients[$key] );
	$u++;
}

With:

if ( current_user_can( 'subscriber' ) && user_can($recipient->user_id, 'subscriber') ) {
    unset( $message_info->recipients[$key] );
    $u++;
}

Line 98 edit:
$message = __( 'You are not authorized to message the person(s) you are attempting to send a message to. Your message has not been sent.', 'bp-pms' );
With you own message

Line 129 Replace:
$is_whitelisted = in_array( bp_displayed_user_id(), $this->whitelist_ids );
With:
`$is_whitelisted = true;
if ( current_user_can(‘subscriber’) && user_can( bp_displayed_user_id(), ‘subscriber’) ) {
$is_whitelisted = false;
}’

This will deny any attempt to PM another subscriber and will remove the Private Message link from other subscribers profiles.
