Hi, please tell me how to create buddypress notifications template as it is also missing in my theme ? thanks

here is doc on filtering bp template parts

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_get_template_part

Have you activated groups via the checkbox on this screen?
/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=bp-components

Have you assigned a page to Groups via this screen?
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-page-settings

The same and more info:

Configure BuddyPress

It is simple, if you use the correct parameter, anyway…

Create a template overload of this file:
\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity\activity-loop.php

Then change this:
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>

To this:

<?php
$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() );
$friends[] = bp_loggedin_user_id();
$friends_and_me = implode( ',', (array) $friends );
$friends_and_me =  '&user_id=' . $friends_and_me;
?>

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . $friends_and_me) ) :  ?>

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Not sure why it’s not working.

For alternative spam plugins/solutions, there’s another more active thread going on here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/stop-buddypress-spam/

Two more methods that help. I recently had a crazy spam attack – probably 300 fake signups per day. I implemented these two methods and it dropped to near 0.

1. Change the /register/ slug to something unique. An example would be /create-your-account/, or something of that nature. It just needs to be unique and also make sense in a URL for your user. Spammers targeting BuddyPress look for /register/ as the signup page. It’s all automated so you want to filter them out at the first step.

2. Add this to your functions.php file in your theme or child theme.

It presents a dummy field that humans don’t see. Spambots will fill it out, and if the field captures a value it will reject the signup.

// BuddyPress Honeypot
function add_honeypot() {
    echo '';
}
add_action('bp_after_signup_profile_fields','add_honeypot');
function check_honeypot() {
    if (!empty($_POST['system55'])) {
        global $bp;
        wp_redirect(home_url());
        exit;
    }
}
add_filter('bp_core_validate_user_signup','check_honeypot');

I edited it slightly to remove the required redirect. Add that back from his tutorial if you want to. It requires that you make an extra page to send the spammer to, and I personally think that’s not necessary. I actually want them to have no indication their signup failed.

Hello 🙂
If you uncheck the User Groups in Buddypress settings (first tab) you disable all the Group system that is why all your groups disappeared.

I guess you are talking about the checking box on the FIRST tab of the buddypress settings, did you see the other one on the THIRD tab (called settings, just after the “Pages” tab) ? (at the top of the page)
You have a box to check to allow/disallow users to create groups.
Hope you are talking about that 😉

Read here exclude_admins_mods

Hi 🙂
Did you enable the messaging system in the first place?
If not you can activate it in : Settings/Buddypress/ and on the first page, check the messaging box

If you enabled this option already you should have a tab in your profil to send private message

[Edit] Wait what do you mean by “forums”? there are no forums on buddypress, are you talking about bbpress?

Activity Loop

Hi @transmission,

this is not the solution, but an example for your inspiration.
The below shows how the notification counter can be moved/implemented on the toolbar.

/* moving the notification counter from right to left */
remove_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'bp_members_admin_bar_notifications_menu', 90 );
function bpfr_notification_ontheleft() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	return false;
	
	$notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( bp_loggedin_user_id(), 'object' );
	$count         = !empty( $notifications ) ? count( $notifications ) : 0;
	$alert_class   = (int) $count > 0 ? 'pending-count alert' : 'count no-alert';
	$menu_title    = '<span id="ab-pending-notifications" class="' . $alert_class . '">' . $count . '</span>';
	
	// Add the top-level Notifications button
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
 /*'parent'    => 'top-secondary',*/  // this is the original position
	'id'        => 'bp-notifications',
	'title'     => $menu_title,
	'href'      => bp_loggedin_user_domain(),
	) );
	
	if ( !empty( $notifications ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $notifications as $notification ) {
			$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
			'parent' => 'bp-notifications',
			'id'     => 'notification-' . $notification->id,
			'title'  => $notification->content,
			'href'   => $notification->href
			) );
		}
	} else {
		$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent' => 'bp-notifications',
		'id'     => 'no-notifications',
		'title'  => __( 'No new notifications', 'buddypress' ),
		'href'   => bp_loggedin_user_domain()
		) );
	}
	
	return;
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'bpfr_notification_ontheleft',30);
/* other position # are 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 */

In your case, you also have to check this Codex page. And possibly do some research here.

@blinkybill01 add height to the item-list li around 25px or more, up to you

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li { 
height: 25px; 
}

Hey guys,
I just wanted to post an update to this.

@juanlopez4691 You’re a genius, the code still works! I’m running BuddyPress 1.9.1 now and it’s working smoothly. I think that you had some minor errors in your syntax though. Here’s the updated version:

bp-custom

// Add meta fields upon group creation
function bp_group_meta_save ( $group_id ) {
	$blog = get_blog_details( get_current_blog_id(), true );
	
	$fields = array(
	'blog_id' => $blog->blog_id,
	'blog_path' => $blog->path,
	'blog_name' => $blog->blogname
	);
	
	foreach ( $fields as $field => $value ) {
	groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $field, $value );
	}
}
add_action( 'groups_created_group', 'bp_group_meta_save' );

function get_groups_by_meta ( $field, $meta_key, $meta_value ) {
	global $wpdb;
	
	if ( is_string( $meta_value) ) $meta_value = "'" . $meta_value . "'";
	
	$sql = $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT $field from {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_groups_groupmeta WHERE meta_key='$meta_key' AND meta_value=$meta_value", OBJECT );
	$res = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );
	
	return $res;
}

// Build a list of groups with the matching blog_id value
function get_groups_by_blogid ( $blog_id = 1 ) {
	$list = get_groups_by_meta( 'group_id', 'blog_id', $blog_id );
	
	if ( count( $list ) ) {
	$res = "";
	foreach ( $list as $item ) {
	$res .= $item->group_id . ',';
	}
	return substr( $res, 0, -1);
	} else {
	return FALSE;
	}
}

groups-loop

<?php 
$current_blogid = get_current_blog_id();

if ( $current_blogid > 1) {
$groups_set = get_groups_by_blogid( $current_blogid );
( $groups_set !== FALSE ) ? $extra_args = '&include=' . $groups_set : $extra_args = '&include=-1';
}

if ( bp_has_groups( bp_ajax_querystring( 'groups' ) . $extra_args ) ) : ?>
