@vapvarun,

Awesome find, doesn’t work with BuddyBoss theme 🙁

@buddyboss

I totally understand what you mean about having your product stack working out of the box.

– Suggestion.. I wish you guys would have an “escape” export OUT of Buddyboss and back to BP. *its just a piece of mind thing.

The attraction that I have with BP/WP is that I dont “feel” locked in to a software provider.. its a bit unreasonable of course.. but it just keeps me “feeling free”

**BONUS**

I think i would feel better paying the price (dont get me wrong.. its reasonably priced) if the Buddyboss platform would also address mobile-first-pagespeed. It drives me crazy that every site I launch on BP/WP scores poorly on googles pagespeed test. — its pretty clear that the main reason for this are loading a bunch of JS and CSS.. certainly there are many reasons why a site scores poorly but it would great if BuddyBoss Platform solved for some of that.

– How compatible is BuddyBoss Platform with the caching plugins like WP-SuperCache (and the like)

Im just a BP/WP hobbyist so Im sensitive to the “annual license renewal fee” – How does your renewal fees work? Is the renewal fee the same price as the initial purchase price?

LASTLY (I swear its the last question)

I’ve noticed that I still rely on WP plugins that interact with posts.. is the BuddyBoss Platform and Theme overall (reasonably) compatible with other WP plugins out there?

@buddyboss

your themes are just FREAKING AMAZING!!!!! I really love them

quick questions..

– The last time I installed BuddyBoss Platform.. it “conflicted” with my BP install.. (is that still the case? you can only either have BuddyBoss installed or BP installed..)

– Can you use the BuddyBoss Platform Theme on a BP install? (meaning without the BuddyBoss Platform)

– I noticed that the only theme available now is the Boss 2.0. Will you be only making themes for BuddyBoss Platform and will you be transitioning out of further developing the Boss 2.0 theme or other themes just for BP

Again.. Im such a huge fan.. really fantastic work

The funny thing is that I have tried BuddyBoss and in its BuddyPlattform it works that way, only I do not like BuddyBoss, I want to implement that function in BuddyPress

Sorry for not listening to the rules! Here is a better version of my previous post –
I am using WordPress 5.3 and I am actually using a theme called BuddyBoss to implement Buddyboss but that shouldn’t matter for my question.

So I created a custom function where any time a user gets a tag, they automatically receive a private message. I would like to make these messages stand out a little from the other messages in a users inbox/thread by adding special styling. Would it be possible to put a border around this message? Below is the code I am using:

Thank you! Simmi

function send_message_to_student_113( $user_id, $tags_applied ) {

$tag_id = wp_fusion()->user->get_tag_id( ‘course tag 1.1.1’ );

if ( in_array( $tag_id, $tags_applied ) ) {

$args = array(
‘sender_id’ => 1,
‘thread_id’ => false,
‘recipients’ => $user_id,
‘subject’ => ‘Hello there’,
‘content’ => ‘You got a new tag! Congratulations. Please let me know if you need any help!’,
‘date_sent’ => bp_core_current_time()
);

$result = messages_new_message( $args );

}
}
add_action( ‘wpf_tags_applied’, ‘send_message_to_student_113’, 10, 2 );

@iamthewebb

Thank you for responding to my comment. Actually XYZ is just the placeholder for my database name because I don’t want to disclose it’s name.

Actually the error is trigger by Buddypress function BP_Groups_Group::get( array $args = array() )
which is located “Buddypress\bp-groups\classes\class-bp-groups-group.php”

You can find the function here https://www.buddyboss.com/resources/reference/classes/bp_groups_group/get/

Right in the function definition when it reach here

 $bp = buddypress();
 
    $sql = array(
        'select'     => "SELECT DISTINCT g.id",
        'from'       => "{$bp->groups->table_name} g",
        'where'      => '',
        'orderby'    => '',
        'pagination' => '',
    ); 

It triggers error because it can not find table_name. I am not sure why the table_name is not loaded.

We are using Buddyboss theme with Buddypress and Memberium plugins.

Thank You

UPDATE:: I tested this code on a BuddyPress installation I have and get the same results so not a buddyboss issue.

I’ve started these adjustments by first creating new profile fields for the headline and user location by going to BuddyBoss > Profiles > add new field, making a note of their id’s in the url. I then found a relevant tutorial on the Buddypress codex “Displaying Extended Profile Fields on Member Profiles” but it seems to be based on and older version of Buddypress. I found out some current hooks in the user profile header are bp_before_member_header_meta below the main display name and bp_before_member_in_header_meta below that. So I added the headline and user location, as well as the nickname/handle with this code based on the linked tutorial in my child themes functions.php file:

add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'display_user_nickname' );
function display_user_nickname() {
	$args = array(
	'field' => 3,
	);
$user_nickname = bp_get_profile_field_data ( $args );
if( $user_nickname ) {
	echo '<span class="mention-name">@' . $user_nickname . '</span>';
	}
}

add_action( 'bp_before_member_in_header_meta', 'display_user_headline' );
function display_user_headline() {
	$args = array(
		'field' => 12,
	);
	$user_headline_copy = bp_get_profile_field_data ( $args );
	if( $user_headline_copy ) {
		echo $user_headline_copy;
	}
}

add_action( 'bp_before_member_in_header_meta', 'display_user_location' );
function display_user_location() {
	$args = array(
		'field' => 16,
	);
	$user_location = bp_get_profile_field_data ( $args );
	if( $user_location ) {
		echo '<br />' . $user_location;
	}
}

With that, the headline and user location were added (I used a line-break to separate them the way I wanted it), but it left me with two instances of the nickname/handle: the pre-existing one and the new one that I just added. I tried to remove the pre-existing one using:
remove_action( 'bp_before_member_in_header_meta', 'bp_displayed_user_mentionname' );

That is exactly the function used to output the mentionname of a displayed user according to the documentation, but it didn’t work and I still would’ve had to figure out how to remove the span class and @ symbol that’s there too anyways. So I copied the file, \buddyboss-theme\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php, into my child theme and deleted lines 44-50:

<?php if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() ) : ?>
    <span class=”mention-name”>@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity' ) && bp_activity_do_mentions() && bp_nouveau_member_has_meta() ) : ?>
    <span class=”separator”>•</span>
<?php endif; ?>

But to my eternal consternation, that did not work either! (yes I duplicated the same path)

That’s where I’m currently standing:

• I need to figure out if there is a hook to the right of the display name or just create one.
• I need to figure out a way to remove unwanted meta that are currently there in the header – I’m a little suspicious that these are being generated in some kind of loop that remove_action doesn’t have any effect on (bp_nouveau_member_meta?). If so, I need to figure out how to add/remove meta from that loop instead of using add_ remove_ action hooks.
• Once I do all of that I need to figure out if there’s a hook just below the user profile image and use that to move the “connect,” “follow,” and “message” buttons.
• I will then need to locate the code that’s generating the cog icon for the user settings and copy/paste that into the hook to the right of the display name, floating right to place it in the upper right hand corner of the user profile header.

It appears as though I’m really putting tech support over at BuddyBoss to the test with these requests, so I would really appreciate any suggestions if anyone has any to offer over here!

Thanks!
