BuddyPress.org

Hi @thinlizzie,

Yes, that is correct. It won’t be from the logged-in user. Currently, I am pulling the username from a page url. The username is located at the very end of that url. Here is an example of what it would look like for @johnsmith:

http://www.samplewebsite.com/bpmembers/johnsmith

*The url structure above does not change based on login status. The url would be exactly the same for both logged-in users and visitors (not logged in) viewing that page.

I want to pull information from any user’s account that is stored in my site’s database (profile image, bio, etc.) and use separate shortcodes to display each piece of information on any page I create in my WordPress admin. Also, the information will not be different, but display the same profile information regardless of login status. So a visitor or logged in user would see the same profile information.

I hope I can achieve this using PHP codes and custom shortcodes that look something like this:

Examples:

[show avatar username= “johnsmith”]

[show description username= “johnsmith”]

This way, I can manually swap out the username within the quotations to display information for any user’s profile.

Thanks @wbcomdesigns and @imath!

I stopped using Loco and created a custom language file. I found most of the strings, but there are still some missing: ‘visit group’ and ‘account settings’ for instance.

Maybe I need to update my Danish translation to latest pot-file? It is only 93% in Polyglot.

Where do I download the latest .pot?

Thanks again!

The same problem seems to appear at other endpoints. I tried to create an Activity with a different user_id with the admin account, and it also returned the same error message.

ok, I just tried that on my staging site and same issue occurs. It still sees the Group I created before. It’s like it’s somehow still connecting with an existing BuddyPress account, only I have no way to clear that out or select to create a new account.

Update clarification:
Apparently member types is front end and visitors to the site sees something like “User1 is an student” and “User2 is a teacher” where student and teachers are the member types, but user roles is back end and can be used to create conditions in wordpress.

What I’d like is something that allows people to register as different roles/types that can then allow them to be automatically (as opposed to the site admin having to manually assign each user after they sign up) restricted or redirected to different pages. For example, people who want to register as students use Form1 which automatically registers them as role/type “student”, and people who want to register as teachers use Form2 which automatically registers them as role/type “teachers”. Then all teachers get access to quizzes and quiz answers page, but students only get access to quizzes page.

I am only testing so I would like a free alternative, I don’t mind using several plugins to work together. I saw an old post on Stackexchange recommending a plugin called “Buddypress User Account Type” but this plugin is not available anymore.

Is there anyone who knows of an alternative?

Sorry, that’s the correct message flickering:

“You have successfully created your account! To begin using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have just sent to your address.”

I ran the German translation through Google Translate.

Hi @fawp

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I agree making easier for users to know about BuddyPress would be great, this is what I understand about your point on marketing (the right product, at the right time, etc..).

About documentation, we’ve tried to work on it but temporarily stopped due to the lack of contributions, here’s our last meeting summary about it: https://buddypress.org/2022/04/march-documentation-contributor-meetings-summary/

We’d be very happy if you could help us into this area, we’ve put a staging site in place. If you want to be part of this work I can create an account for you on this staging site 😉
