I think he is referring to roles based on member_type, not by wp capability (role).
As he mentioned above, his buddypress website having various roles, so he wants to display different profile field based on created role.

If role is a (member_type) lyricist = profile field
If role is a (member_type) singer = profile field

Many peoples are waiting for this, but their is no exact piece of code to restrict group creation. And their is no latest posts in the Internet regarding restriction. Buddypress has been evolved as a one of best open source platform with best supporting community even though this problem has not been solved, sad part is from past few years many peoples queried about this you can check in this forum till date no solution.
I’m requesting the community to provide support to restrict group creation ( either direct or based on role) since old codes/plugins are not working any more.
Thanks

[youmin]

ever heard about html and CSS ? …. Lol

[youmin]

Hi ,, I too don’t no the exact code but this will help you correct what went wrong,
You need to tweak it to work with notices.

Custom Post Type Support for Activity

Hope this will help you a bit, and don’t forget to publish your corrected codes .

[youmin]

Thanks imath, that’s awesome. But this is only one part of my question and another part is Displaying CPT on group home page instead of activity .
Example : like most plugins do injecting CPT by making sub nav menu ( may be by registering as a new component or with a slug ) or on both activity and group.

[youmin]

Thanks Monkey1980 I’ll try, but I suspect it need more codes since in group you need to add the CPT as a menu in group admin menu. So just wanted to know injecting CPT (bp 2.2 method) in group home page.

And I think we need to change this part

if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }

To

if ( ! bp_is_active( ‘group’ ) ) {
return;
}

As well, ya imath will solve it , hoping soon

[youmin]

Isn’t it possible to register CPT and display it on group home page instead of activity or on both? Since posting an CPT article on group page is it self an activity. So isn’t on group home page as well ?

What do I need to change in above piece of code ?

[youmin]

Firstly is have set 3 members type using member_type() function . then I set the roles
Using Henry’s solution
I.e

 add_role(
    'student',
    __( 'Student' ),
    array(
        'read'         => true,  // true allows this capability
        'edit_posts'   => true,
        'delete_posts' => false, // Use false to explicitly 
    )

); 

Then by using this function I tie these roles to wo roles.

function youmin_set_role( $user_id, $member_type, $append ) {
    $userdata = array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'role' => $member_type );
    wp_update_user( $userdata );
}
add_action( 'bp_set_member_type', 'youmin_set_role', 10, 3 );

But still every user is able to create group since by default wp role ‘subscriber’ is loading and buddypress user role let’s the subscriber to create group.

So isn’t it possible to pass an array to above role function to restrict group creation ? Or any other code snippet ?

Take a look at https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-bp_set_member_type/

[youmin]

Where is the link ?

[youmin]

Awesome work, everything is perfect congratulations.
But only thing which I didn’t like is active time ‘ago’. Its so lengthy. Eg: 2weeks 4days 30 minutes ago. Can’t it be like 2W 4d 30min ago or some Thing sweet shortly.

Thank you once again really impressed.

[youmin]

Edit page in theme\buddypress\groups\home.php

[youmin]

Need test I’d and password, from snaps its look clean . perfect color for social site.

[youmin]

Awesome and welcome move by you both,

Waiting for tutorial of your works.

Than you,

[youmin]

In my above comment i mean to say , I have already set member types using bp_set_member_type function (not roles ) .
So from above snippet I can set roles to these created member types isn’t it ? Or else still these two functions are independent ?

[youmin]

Thank you sir its a great relief now. Now I got it.
I have already assigned the roles now I’ll modify it by this snippet I.e adding and modifying array.
Thank you once again

[youmin]

Hey guys dev Henry Wright had replied to this topic but its not showing here strange!!
https://buddypress.org/members/henrywright

But you can see his solution in his profile link provided above, he rectified error

[youmin]

Thank you mcpeanut for you research and work, I am glad to see details of your work since I am struck at this point I am willing to impliment it soon. Plz make a time to explain in details.

BTW have you seen the ticket I had raised ? I am curious about that ticket just because of the new introduced api member_type and the person who reviewed ticket is respectable Chief Dev of buddypress, as per his comment its take 6 lines of codes, to tie WP roles with member_type code. So it means Two solutions at one shot.

Thank you again.

[youmin]

Try editing buddypress/activity/home.php , after copying these files from buddypress plugin to your theme. If you have already copied files from plugin then search the files from activity folder and edit it from there.

[youmin]

See this ticket.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6154#ticket

Since buddypress 2.2 released we can tightly integrate user roles based on their profile selected. As well their is a hook . if you know php you can create a snippet so that others can get benefits along with you.
I think same above codes with a little modifications we can hook it to bp_set_members_type at line 2576.

[youmin]

Is it buddypress related question or BBPRESS related one ? Be clear in the question.

[youmin]

Will you kindly provide me the snippet based on this ticket, as you directed I had raised this ticket and I am happy that their is a solution.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6154#ticket”

Thank you once again.

[youmin]

So I think its a bbpress related widget,

Try this one, when you install buddypress you need to set the permalink, try changing this options in settings of buddypress or in bbpress.

[youmin]

I did not got what ur question is clearly. You installed bbpress and buddypress . I will suggest you to be clear on problem.

[youmin]

yes it wont do any thing, but devs love to play with codes to a new idea lets see what happens. i have raised a ticket .

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6154#ticket

thanks shanebp its working perfect

[youmin]

thanks for quick reply, and i really appreciate your hard work and dedication (Dev’s).

 bp_register_member_type( 'student', array(
        'labels' => array(
            'name'          => 'Student',
            'singular_name' => 'student',
	    'role'          => 'subscriber'
        ),
    ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bbg_register_member_types' );

will this third parameter in array assign user role?

and how to out put selected member type ‘name’ below profile avatar ( as meta ) or as it is .

thank you
