BuddyPress.org

Yeah, I’m still getting the error message
‘Warning: Missing argument 5 for bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter() in /home/integral/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 479’

and I’ve removed step 3 from https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

Have you ever run into this or have any idea how to fix?

Thanks again for checking it out

Thank you so much, Mercime! I’ve got most of it all installed with the exception of a few hiccups.

I had a difficult time with the avatars even before this modification. I’m getting this error code
‘/home/integral/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php on line 479’
When I go into bp-core-avatars.php on line 479 I see this as the definition:
‘function bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter( $avatar, $user, $size, $default, $alt ) {

// If passed an object, assume $user->user_id
if ( is_object( $user ) )
$id = $user->user_id;

// If passed a number, assume it was a $user_id
else if ( is_numeric( $user ) )
$id = $user;

// If passed a string and that string returns a user, get the $id
else if ( is_string( $user ) && ( $user_by_email = get_user_by_email( $user ) ) )
$id = $user_by_email->ID;

// If somehow $id hasn’t been assigned, return the result of get_avatar
if ( empty( $id ) )
return !empty( $avatar ) ? $avatar : $default;

// Let BuddyPress handle the fetching of the avatar
$bp_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $id, ‘width’ => $size, ‘height’ => $size, ‘alt’ => $alt ) );

// If BuddyPress found an avatar, use it. If not, use the result of get_avatar
return ( !$bp_avatar ) ? $avatar : $bp_avatar;
}’

I’ve tried installing a bp-custom.php file within the plugin directory so that it would not be deleted when updating Buddypress but it produces an error everywhere on the site.
Here is what I tried to add as the bp-custom.php file for reference:
‘define( ‘BP_AVATAR_UPLOAD_PATH’, ‘/var/www/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files’ );
define( ‘BP_AVATAR_URL’, ‘hxxp://integralbeings.com/files’ );’

As I look at the code, I’m wondering if this is because there is no hxxp://integralbeings.com/files directory. Do I need to add this or is the path incorrect? Also, I’ve not seen hxxp before, is this a typo?

Thanks for the support on this, it’s rather minor in the grand scheme of things, but I’m wondering if it will become a bigger problem as the community grows.

Thank you both for your help, so I’m hoping I can return the favor. Modemlooper, here is how I adjusted the My Friends tab, but it has sub nav code for you, maybe it will help. Credit for this from @jeffsayre

`function my_friends_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

/* Add ‘Friends’ to the main navigation */
if( bp_friend_get_total_requests_count($disp_user) > 0 && bp_is_my_profile()) {
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Friends (%d) (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), friends_get_total_friend_count(), bp_friend_get_total_requests_count() ), ‘slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘position’ => 60, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->friends->id ) );
} else {
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Friends (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), friends_get_total_friend_count() ), ‘slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘position’ => 60, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->friends->id ) );
}

$friends_link = $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->friends->slug . ‘/’;

/* Add the subnav items to the friends nav item */
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => ‘my-friends’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_my_friends’, ‘position’ => 10, ‘item_css_id’ => ‘friends-my-friends’ ) );
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( ‘name’ => sprintf( __( ‘Requests (%d)‘, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_friend_get_total_requests_count() ), ‘slug’ => ‘requests’, ‘parent_url’ => $friends_link, ‘parent_slug’ => $bp->friends->slug, ‘screen_function’ => ‘friends_screen_requests’, ‘position’ => 20, ‘user_has_access’ => bp_is_my_profile() ) );

if ( $bp->current_component == $bp->friends->slug ) {
if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) {
$bp->bp_options_title = __( ‘My Friends’, ‘buddypress’ );
} else {
$bp->bp_options_avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $bp->displayed_user->id, ‘type’ => ‘thumb’ ) );
$bp->bp_options_title = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;
}
}

do_action( ‘friends_setup_nav’ );
}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘my_friends_setup_nav’, 11 );`

Here is the code on line 479 (referenced in error):

function bp_core_fetch_avatar_filter( $avatar, $user, $size, $default, $alt ) {

OK, I found this in bp-core-adminbar.php. Say I wanted to get rid of the text “Blog Authors”, but only for blog ID# 12:

function bp_adminbar_authors_menu() {
global $bp, $current_blog, $wpdb;

if ( $current_blog->blog_id == BP_ROOT_BLOG || !function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) )
return false;

$blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $current_blog->id );
$authors = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT user_id, user_login, user_nicename, display_name, user_email, meta_value as caps FROM $wpdb->users u, $wpdb->usermeta um WHERE u.ID = um.user_id AND meta_key = ‘{$blog_prefix}capabilities’ ORDER BY um.user_id” );

if ( !empty( $authors ) ) {
