You can still find the member-header file in the buddypress folder: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single.

Thanks for the report, @klogen2.

I’ve duplicated the bug and have opened a ticket with a suggested fix:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5595

We’ll have this addressed for v2.0.1.

untested, goes in bp-custom.php

function oc_filter_ajax_querystring( $querystring = '', $object = '' ) {

	if( $object != 'group_members' )
		return $querystring;

	$querystring['exclude'] = '1'; // change '1' to your user_id

	return $querystring;

}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'oc_filter_ajax_querystring', 20, 2 );

Hi @suysal @mileskimberley & @macpresss

We have accomplished a similar task, and what a pain in the ass of a task it was…. We made it so that it’s not possible to see all members posts, you must first be friends with them. We also made ours so that you would only see the feed of groups if you joined the group as well, just like fb and all other mainstream networks, it just makes sense to do it this way, more personalised feed, less junk. Its a detailed code of a few hundred lines that we include in our functions.php file.

We paid for the solution to be custom developed via external teams because it was slightly outside of our inhouse development skillset… If you want to chip in for the code I am more than happy to send it to you. If I coded this myself and it costed me nothing to create I would just paste the code here but it’s not the case in this scenario.

Alternatively (and our preferred option), if Buddypress core developers want to build it into BP and create a setting for it in the core plugin backend to allow this option then I am happy to send it to them for free so that we don’t need to support this custom piece of code through the upgrades (which we have been supporting this custom code for a year now). I know this setting/option is not for everyone using BP but there are many out there who would love this feature included and it could be as simple as a checkbox in the backend saying should users only see friends activity, maybe a second one as well should users only see groups activity they have previously joined. We haven’t built such a setting because we use this by default.

Anyways feel free to drop me a line here or at info@fem-productions.com

Cheers

Thank you that was very helpful.

How do I submit a query from the members search form to bring up the appropriate listing in the manner mentioned above? At the moment I can only search for members when the search form submits to the members directory. What I want to do is that when a user submits a search query from a search form on this page:

http://website/custom-page/

the results from the query:

http://website/members/?s=term-searched-for

are displayed on the same custom page hosting the search form:

http://website/custom-page/

I have tried setting the search form action attribute like so:

form action = ""

but this creates the query:

http://website/custom-page/?s=term-searched-for&members_search_submit=Search

and the result is a 404 page not found.

I have been reading in some places eg:
here and here that buddypress redirects search queries so I need to override that redirection and I have attempted doing so without much success.

My search form looks like this:

	<div id="members-dir-search" class="dir-search bp-index-search" role="search">
            <?php //bp_custom_directory_members_search_form(); 
            $default_search_value = bp_get_search_default_text( 'members' );
            $search_value = !empty( $_REQUEST['s'] ) ? stripslashes( $_REQUEST['s'] ) : $default_search_value; ?>

                <form action="" method="get" id="search-members-form">
                    <label><input type="text" name="s" id="members_search" placeholder="<?php echo esc_attr( $search_value ) ?>" /></label>
                    <input type="submit" id="members_search_submit" name="members_search_submit" value="<?php _e( 'Search', 'buddypress' ) ?>" />
                </form>

	</div>

I check to see if the form has been submitted:

<?php if(isset($_REQUEST ['members_search_submit'])){ ?>

and then, following @Slave UA’s suggestion, I have copied and pasted the code from the “members-loop.php” file to my page template and I then changed

bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' )

to

bp_has_members(array('search_terms' => $search_term))

If I hardcode the search term then it works but it does not seem to accept the search term submitted through the search form.

Any help greatly appreciated.

There’s a function you can use to do that called bp_activity_add(). See here for the usage:

bp_activity_add()

Try this, it worked for me!

function custom_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
‘name’ => __( ‘About’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘about’,
‘position’ => 30,
show_for_displayed_user’ => true,
‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘about’,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘about’
) );
}

bp_core_new_subnav_item(
array( ‘name’ => __( ‘About’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘slug’ => ‘about’,
‘parent_url’ => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . ‘about’,
‘screen_function’ => ‘about’,
‘parent_slug’ => ‘about’,
‘position’ => 10,
‘item_css_id’ => ‘about’
)
);

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘custom_setup_nav’ );

function about_page() {
add_action( ‘bp_template_content’, ‘about_content’ );
bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( ‘bp_core_template_plugin’, ‘members/single/about’ ) );
}

function about_content(){
//Put your content here!
}

Hope is probably using a theme that is a bp-default derivative.

This is a bug that was addressed in #5549:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5549

It will be fixed in v2.0.1, but @amalsh can manually apply the following changeset in the meantime:
