This sounds like you need to raise it on the bbPress support forum

The single topic view template (loop-single-reply.php) has 2 actions hooks you can use:

do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_author_details' );
do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details' );

In so far, the above function should work.

Try this one. Add it into your theme function to test. And if it works from there, remove it and add it to your child-theme functions.php file.

function country_flag() {
if( class_exists( 'bbPress' ) ) :
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
$country = xprofile_get_field_data( 'country', $user_id );

	echo '<div class="country">'. $country .'</div>';
endif;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'country_flag' );

Activate also wp_debug in wp-config.php while testing. It could be possible you have an error somewhere who avoid the function to work properly…

If it still doesn’t work, ask for help on the bbpress support.

hi @davehakkens,

You use a standalone bbPress. Normally you have to ask on bbPress forum for such questions.

Add this to bp-custom.php or child theme functions.php and give a try.

i tested it with group forums only, so i couldn’t test all the filters.
You might to find/experiment others.

It’s a working example who fires the country value. But you’ll certainly have to complete it to get the flag image.

function country_flag() {
$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();
$country = xprofile_get_field_data( 'country', $user_id );

	echo '<div class="country">'. $country .'</div>';
	
}
add_filter( 'bbp_theme_after_reply_author_details', 'country_flag' );
//add_filter( 'bbp_theme_before_topic_author', 'country_flag' );

Hi @davehakkens

bp_member_profile_data() defaults to the current user in the members loop… It is probably coincidence this is the thread starter user, but I can’t remember how bbPress interacts with it.

What I think you want to do is

bp_get_member_profile_data(array('field'=>'country', 'user_id' => bbp_get_reply_author_id()))

That way you’re passing the bbPress reply author ID to the BP function, to fetch the data for that user. Hope that helps.

I did the tests you recommended and it was my W3 Total Cache plugin that was causing the issue. I will have to look into that to figure out what setting was messing it up. @Scaffies doesn’t have that plugin, so guess our issues were caused by different things.

Buddypress does not support this functionality out of the box, but with a little PHP knowledge one could make these adjustments to your buddypress site.

Be sure when making customizations that you don’t overwrite the plug-in! You can include BuddyPress/bbPress template files in your theme and modify them to do whatever you want. The possibilities are endless!

Check out the BuddyPress documentation for more info on extending BuddyPress for custom features.

BuddyPress Codex

Hi @mei-ling,

it’s not an issue but how it works ! 😉

You can filter the activity stream and remove the activities you don’t want to be showed.

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php or your child-theme functions.php

function bpex_bp_activity_types( $retval ) {
   if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {

// list of all BP activity types  - remove or comment those you won't show.
	$retval['action'] = '
		activity_comment,
		activity_update,
		// bbp_topic_create,
		// bbp_reply_create,
		friendship_created,
		created_group,
		joined_group,
		last_activity,
		new_avatar,
		new_blog_post, 	
		new_blog_comment,
		new_member,
		updated_profile
	';	

	return $retval;
	
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bpex_bp_activity_types' );

You might also remove bbpress activities from the activity filter. You can use this (goes to same file as previous)

function bpex_remove_bbp_activities_dropdown_labels() {
   if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {

         // Remove forum filters in site wide activity streams
        remove_action( 'bp_activity_filter_options',        array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
     
         // Remove forum filters in single member activity streams
         remove_action( 'bp_member_activity_filter_options', array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
 
         // Remove forum filters in single group activity streams
         remove_action( 'bp_group_activity_filter_options',  array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
   }      
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bpex_remove_bbp_activities_dropdown_labels', 9 );

bp-custom.php

dbDelta is a WordPress function, @danbp, it’s not bbPress specific. It’s used to update the schema of a MySQL database. The bigger question is how did something trigger the BuddyPress installation methods yet not make sure the relevant WordPress function was loaded.

@nhatnnt1 What version number of WordPress are you using?

Ran into this issue recently regarding getting TinyMCE to work on BP group forum pages.

The following code fixes this:

/**
 * Enable at-mention autocomplete on BuddyPress group forum textareas.
 */
function my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas( $retval ) {
	$bbpress = false;

	// Group forum reply.
	if ( bp_is_group() && 'topic' === bp_action_variable() && bp_action_variable( 1 ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Group forum topic.
	if ( bp_is_group() && bp_is_current_action( 'forum' ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Do stuff when on a group forum page.
	if ( true === $bbpress ) {
		$retval = true;
		
		// Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
		add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce', 10, 2 );
	}

	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas' );

/**
 * Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
 *
 * @param array  $settings   An array with TinyMCE config.
 * @param string $editor_id Unique editor identifier, e.g. 'content'.
 * @return array  $mceInit   An array with TinyMCE config.
 */
function my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce( $settings, $editor_id ) {
	// Add bbPress' editor IDs to enable BP mention autocomplete.
	if ( 'bbp_topic_content' === $editor_id || 'bbp_reply_content' === $editor_id ) {
		$settings['init_instance_callback'] = 'window.bp.mentions.tinyMCEinit';
	}

	return $settings;
}

Hello Scott,

My site is not really focused on images and videos so I did not have to export/import a lot of this, but the media I did import went well.

Comments on blogs (from Ning) were imported so I guess this could work out well for comments on photos/videos as well. The only thing is whenever you have a lot of media content it will take some time to export.

You just would give it a try to see how it works out. I took the following steps:
Installed WP
Installed Buddypress
Installed BBPress
Downloaded the Ning Export tool (http://www.ning.com/help/?p=5219) and started exporting
Downloaded and installed Import from Ning tool https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-from-ning/

I used ftp to upload the Ning files, to avoid errors I did this step by step (not all content at once).

Good luck with it!

I have moved my site from Ning to Wp/Buddypress with a bbpress integration a few weeks ago. I was able to import a lot of content except the forum topics/responses.

What I did was this:
– used the export tool from Ning
– used the import tool to import ning to Buddypress
All my members (not that many, around 34 at that time) and their profiles, usernames, etc were transferred. All blogposts from Ning were imported as well.
It was easy for members to activate their account on my new Wp/Buddypress site.

The only down thing was that I had to manually copy topics and responses from the forum since I was unable to import this due to an error in the json file. I tried to repair that file but with no succes.

I hope this helps, should you have any questions please let me know. Like you I browsed many old topics and was unable to find any recent topics, so I just started out with trail and error to do it all myself.

Karen
