Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Still can’t login but it’s OK. The below code was supposed to work if you cleared your browser cache and restarted it. If that wouldn’t work still you could have tried testing the site on another computer which you had not used to visit the site. If you had a browser that you hadn’t used to visit the site that could work too to help you see the changes made by this code.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
} 

Also, make sure you’re placing that code in the right place “style.css”

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

I Can’t login are those correct?

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

This article may be of help to you to change that text http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/make-your-wordpress-site-buddypress-ready/

Or you can use this one too with a plugin: https://webdevstudios.com/2015/06/02/creating-custom-templates-for-buddypress/

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

I’m not sure of the solution to the issue in IE but I guess that’s probably the furthest you can go without hacking the core files.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Please create a temporary buddypress user account for me so that I can log in and take a look.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

@zabelator in that case, you’ll have to use jQuery and probably not CSS.

Open “head.php” and add the following code.

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a" ).click(function(oneb){
    oneb.preventDefault();
});

});
</script>

It should now work across the board. Note, this will be disabled even when the user is logged in so you might want to use php to load this script on home page only. Let me know if works.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

@canadianmusicnetwork, Please remove the previous code and add this.

#buddypress div.activity-comments div.acomment-content {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

Lemme know if it works.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

@henrywright, I’m trying to write a function that will return user id on account activation so that I can use the user id somewhere else with this hook: bp_after_activate_content. Something like my previous code which was:

function my_f( $user_id ) {
    // You can do something with $user_id here. Note though, the return value of
    // bp_core_activate_signup() may be false. In that case,
    // the value of $user_id here will be false.
    return $user_id;

}

add_filter( 'bp_core_activate_account', 'my_f' );

function do_thingsz(){
	$willie = my_f();
	echo "The user id is ";
	echo $willie;
}

add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'do_thingsz', 10, 0 );

Do you have more ideas @henrywright. I appreciate @shanebp’s suggestion above but it’s not working the way I want it to (Returning the user id)

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Hi @zabelator

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress .acomment-meta a, #buddypress .activity-header a, #buddypress .comment-meta a {
    text-decoration: none;
    pointer-events: none;
    cursor: default;
}

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Hi @urtu-learning

Try using this plugin

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Hi @canadianmusicnetwork

Try adding this to “style.css” in your active theme

#buddypress #activity-stream p {
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Thanks again @henrywright I’m executing the following code on account activation but I now get this error “Warning: Missing argument 1 for my_f() … ”

Here is the code:

function my_f( $user_id ) {
    // You can do something with $user_id here. Note though, the return value of
    // bp_core_activate_signup() may be false. In that case,
    // the value of $user_id here will be false.
    return $user_id;

}

add_filter( 'bp_core_activate_account', 'my_f' );

function do_thingsz(){
	$willie = my_f();
	echo "The user id is ";
	echo $willie;
}

add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'do_thingsz', 10, 0 );

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

Thanks @henrywright. Now that we’ve defined the function which is my_f( $user_id ) and returned user id, how can we use the same function to assign the value to a valuable? something like:

$user_id = my_f();

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years ago]

@shanebp is it also possible to use the following filter to get user id on account activation as discussed here? Here is the filter:

$user = apply_filters( 'bp_core_activate_account', bp_core_activate_signup( $_GET['key'] ) );

If yes how would I go about it?

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks @henrywright for pointing me in right direction. This will definitely work. I’m giving it a try and will let you know the results!

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks again @henrywright. What’s the simplest way to override activate.php? I don’t mind overriding it if I won’t be modifying the core files.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks for your suggestion @henrywright. Is it possible to achieve this with hooks instead?

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

@Venutius maybe a screenshot or a link would help identity the problem. Please try sharing those.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

@shanebp Thanks for spotting the problem with my code. I just got rid of the following line and I was able to get the user id of a user who just got activated without the warnings!

add_action( 'bp_after_activate_content', 'william_bp_core_activated_user', 10, 0 );

In fact, according to my logic, that line is unnecessary anyway.

Thanks so much @shanebp. The codex article was very helpful too.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

It’s an extremely simple plugin that just echos the user id of the user who just got activated. I’m going to do something a little complicated with the id later on. I just want it to work first. Here’s the code.

<?php

function william_bp_core_activated_user( $user_id, $key, $user ) {
// do something with $user_id
// there is no return for add_action, only add_filter
echo $user_id;
};
add_action( ‘bp_core_activated_user’, ‘william_bp_core_activated_user’, 10, 3 );
add_action( ‘bp_after_activate_content’, ‘william_bp_core_activated_user’, 10, 0 );

It echos the user id of the user who just got activated and so I’m now sure it’s working.

What could be wrong with my code @shanebp hence the warnings?

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

You’re a GENIUS @shanebp!

It seems to be working fine except that I’m getting these errors:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for william_bp_core_activated_user() in /…/two/wp-content/plugins/The Kick/TheKick.php on line 24

Warning: Missing argument 2 for william_bp_core_activated_user() in /…/two/wp-content/plugins/The Kick/TheKick.php on line 24

Warning: Missing argument 3 for william_bp_core_activated_user() in /…/two/wp-content/plugins/The Kick/TheKick.php on line 24

Any ideas on how to fix these @shanebp?

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

@shanebp here’s how to hook into “do_action( ‘bp_core_activated_user’, $user_id, $key, $user );”

// define the bp_core_activated_user callback
function action_bp_core_activated_user( $bp_core_clear_member_count_caches )
{
// make action magic happen here…
};

// add the action
add_action( ‘bp_core_activated_user’, ‘action_bp_core_activated_user’, 10, 1 );

but I still can’t return the user id. Please help.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks @shanebp I’ll try to use that hook. Will let you know the results.

[@william_oneb Participant 11 years, 1 month ago]

Thanks @modemlooper. This is doable but will the account remain deactivated as usual? The user might justchoose to ignore the second email with activation link since they can already login. What do you say? I’d like to sort of force a user to fill the second form and I don’t want them logging in if they haven’t filled the second form.
