BuddyPress.org

bp_activity_get_specific() should be used like this:

// get activity
$activity_get = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => YOURACTIVITYID ) );

// single out the activity
$activity = $activity_get[0];

// grab specific activity item
$activity_body = $activity->content;

Ref: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/gettinng-id-of-the-activity-status/#post-112943

I put the bp_custom_directory_groups_search_form() function suggested by @meginfo into my functions file.

But when I call it from a template it only works if I submit it to the members directory like this

function 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="<?php echo site_url() ?>/members/" 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>
<?php
}

If I try to submit to the same page like this:

form action=""

of if I try and submit it to the full path of the file I get a 404 not found message.

How should I submit the function in order to have it give me the search results on the page I want?

Thanks

Did you try:
bp_get_the_notification_item_id()
from
\buddypress\bp-notifications\bp-notifications-template.php

hi @bitpath

Don’t worry, it’s been committed to core and will be included in next upgrade
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8304

Hi,
Can you please help me with the exact same problem as well. I think I am up to date on all patches and just installed a bunch of premium plugins from wpmudev, but I was getting almost this exact same error trying to access admin screens this morning:
Call to undefined function get_current_screen() in /home/bitpad/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-admin.php on line 825

Your patch fixed it perfectly I think. I can now get back to the admin level. Thank you so much. I was worried I’d have to delete and reinstall plugin possibly starting over on a lot. I am now worried if I will break it by updating since it may over-write plugin patch you gave. Is all ok to upgrade next buddy press one that comes out?
Thank you for your help! You saved a lot of grief 🙂

OK got the types wrong and got to=he info from the table in phpmyadmin

Anyway this code works in ones custom function.php

// Filter bbPress from updating activity stream
function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array( 'bbp_topic_create', 'bbp_reply_create');

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

@sharmavishal: It doesn’t seem to work for me
I put Blocked Activity Types:
new_forum_topic, new_forum_post
and the bbPress topics and replies still go thru

@naijaping and anyone, what should the code be? Like this? :

// Filter bbPress from updating activity stream
function imath_activity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
$exclude = array( 'new_forum_topic', 'new_forum_post');

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'imath_activity_dont_save', 10, 1 );

BuddyPress Block Activity Stream Types is working absolutely fine even with BP 2.0

@palmdoc, @benny390

You can try @imath solution and edit it accordingly to include bbpress.

/* beginning of the code to paste in the functions.php of your active theme */

‘function imath_activivity_dont_save( $activity_object ) {
// friendship_created is fired when a member accepts a friend request
// joined_group is fired when a member joins a group.
$exclude = array( ‘friendship_created’, ‘joined_group’);

// if the activity type is empty, it stops BuddyPress BP_Activity_Activity::save() function
if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
$activity_object->type = false;

}

‘add_action(‘bp_activity_before_save’, ‘imath_activivity_dont_save’, 10, 1 );’

I also tried the plugin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-block-activity-stream-types/
but it seems it’s an orphaned one not updated for a couple of years
What I really hope to do is to prevent bbPress new topics and replies from appearing in the Activity stream – it’s really quite redundant I feel

Help anyone?

@simple-man this issue has been fixed by the 2.1alpha patch here: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5563#comment:24

Thank goodness. It was an issue with a missing field in my wp_signups table, which was there either because I downgraded from a Multisite install or because I have Gravity Forms installed. All seems well now.

Hey,

I’m had the same problem and resolved the issue;

Cause of the problem

Wordpress database error Unknown column ‘signup_id’
column: signup_id missing from database table wp_signups

Solution

create primary key column titled ‘signup_id’ by entering the following sql statement at the mysql prompt:

ALTER TABLE 'database_name'.'wp_signups' ADD COLUMN 'signup_id' INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Problem History

Error: Invalid Activation key
Also, manage signups view is empty, but I have attempted to register multiple users

system

• LAMPP
• WordPress Version 3.6.1

Unsuccessful Resolutions:

• activate 2012 theme
• deactivated all plugins
• deleted + reinstalled buddypress

Known Database Issues:

• the field user_activation_key is empty in table wp_users
• the field activation_key is NOT empty in table wp_signups
• column signup_id is missing from table wp_signups
• there is no PK or FK column for table wp_signups

apache error log

Found some useful output from apache log file, which is what led my solution:

[Wed Apr 23 20:58:19 2014] [error] [client xx.xx.xxx.xxx] WordPress database error Unknown column 'signup_id' in 'order clause' for query SELECT * FROM wp_signups WHERE active = 0 AND activation_key = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' ORDER BY signup_id DESC LIMIT 0, 1 made by require('wp-blog-header.php'), require_once('wp-includes/template-loader.php'), do_action('template_redirect'), call_user_func_array, bp_template_redirect, do_action('bp_template_redirect'), call_user_func_array, bp_screens, do_action('bp_screens'), call_user_func_array, bp_core_screen_activation, bp_core_activate_signup, BP_Signup::get

To the BP devs, I hope that’s enough to solve the problem at the application code level, instead of the database hack I used. I have a feeling the error might be due to using an old WP version, as the error appears to stem from the core WP files and not the BuddyPress files…

Wow… that’s a lot of work (changing every mention of the word “group” in the po file one by one)! Even with that poedit program, it was a tedious and time consuming task because there was no “find and replace” functionality and with a text editor (I use TextPad), you have to be sure not to rename any file names. There needs to be s a simpler way.

Wait till you realize that all your .po file changes will be lost the moment you update Buddypress.

ola !
I have no idea, but some paths…

First, if you altered the user.php, it’s the wrong way, because it’s a core file. Translation modification should only be done in the po/mo file

Secondly, you have a special character (tilde) in the word contraseña. Would probably be more secure that you use the HTML entity for this.

Don’t know what you did before the errors screen, but you have to go back to a previous stage, without errors. Deactivate all plugins, except BP. Remove the WP translations files from the languages folder, and try to enter your install in english…
