@xyhavoc

Just a quick follow up to inform you, i’ve read your discussion with @boonebgorges on 5603.
I’ve attached an alternative patch to the ticket, it would be great if you could test it.

Thanks again for your feedback.

My bad, I’ve just realised that wasn’t the solution…

I had to add the code in this function

xprofile_sync_wp_profile

in

wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-screens.php

I’m not sure why it doesn’t work in the bp-custom.php file…

@noizeburger Thank you for sharing this – it’s helped me out greatly.

I might just add to anyone else who’s going to implement this as I’d spent about four hours trying to figure out why it wouldn’t work for me initially.

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1);

The number 10 states at what point the function should be called. This should work in most instances but I am using a theme with additional buddypress functions built in.

I had to set this to a higher level, meaning it gets executed later on in the process. At least I think that’s right. Anyhow, once I’d changed mine to

add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 13, 1);

It worked fine!

It’s worth reading this.

Thanks again

I’m guessing I’ll have to use a hook of some kind to accomplish this

You’re right. But the hook would be supplied by the Amen plugin. You could start by asking the plugin’s support if one is available. I’m guessing here but it will probably be called something like after_submit_prayer_request.

Then you’d build your own function which you can ‘hook’ on to the ‘after_submit_prayer_request’ hook (don’t forget I’m guessing at the hook name).

Your function would simply add an item to the BP activity stream and will look something like this:

function add_prayer_request_to_stream() {
    bp_activity_add( $args )
}
add_action( 'add_prayer_request_to_stream', 'actual_hook_name' );

Note: This won’t work until you have the actual hook name and have supplied the $args as an array that describes the activity item you’re creating.

See here for more info on the bp_activity_add() function

bp_activity_add()

Did you ever resolve this? I’ve just activated BP in wordpress site using the weaver II them and am having a similar issue. Everything seems to work but I never see an avatar and continually get this error message: Notice: Undefined property: BP_Groups_Group::$avatar_thumb in /homepages/24/d463872728/htdocs/APP/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php on line 526. I’ve looked at the code and it’s not obvious to me what this means.

@krazy-kat – Thanks for catching this bug.

A workaround in the meantime is to turn on the “Activity Streams” component.

To do this, login to the WP admin dashboard and navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress”. Check “Activity Streams” and save.

We’ll fix this bug up for v2.0.1.

Take a look at this article from the BP Codex on the Template Hierarchy:

Template Hierarchy

To summarise, you’d create a folder called /buddypress/ in your theme’s directory. Then a subfolder called ‘members’. Then a file called ‘index-register.php’. You should end up with:

/buddypress/members/index-register.php

Your register page’s code will go in that file and any customisations you make will take effect.

Please see the ticket that r-a-y referenced.

You can patch the file using the changeset:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8305

Or wait for the release of BP.2.0.1

Hi @localiseorg

Socialise (sitewide activity assigned to this)
– Members (members directory assigned to this)
– Groups (groups directory assigned to this)
– Forums (bbPress forum root assigned to this)

Have you tried using a wp_nav_menu instead ?

I think, if i was in your situation, i’d make a wp_nav_menu with your different pages.. It could be “home”, “blog”, “socialise” for instance. And from the wp_nav_menu WordPress UI, i’d attach the Members/Groups and forums as submenus of Socialise.

Then concerning the Socialise title that is “Sitewide Activity”, i’ll begin to edit the activity page changing the title from Activity to Socialise and use a little code like the following:

function change_activity_directory_title() {
	buddypress()->activity->directory_title = buddypress()->pages->activity->title;
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_setup_globals', 'change_activity_directory_title' );

hi @xyhavoc

Personally, i don’t really like this method “hardcoding the type into the template“. I’ve made a gist using another method, tested it and it’s restricting the activity type the way you want even in case of a new activity post.

By default, this will restrict for all activity loops.
But See the commented parts if you want this behavior to only happen in user’s profile, or in group’s home or in directory..).

I don’t know if you use the bp-custom.php file, if not, i recommend you to do so, so that this will happen whatever the activated theme is.

Here’s the link to the gist:

Another, not sure if it’s one already mentioned: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-tackle-spam-with-the-buddypress-spam-link-plugin/

Found some useful stuff here, but some of it is commercial :/ WangGuard in particular implements “report” links, but not sure to what extent (looks like it’s limited to activity stream?)
