BuddyPress.org

I am using the Date Selector in my website. It’s working great except for the following:

1. User registers and enter something like February 02 1980.
2. I run a sql query and the date is being stored as a UNIX date like ‘318297600’
3. I go to my user profile, do nothing and resave it.
4. I run the same query and it changes the date to “1980-02-01 00:00:00”

Problem is this is reeking havoc on my site. I need to do weekly exports of the member list and the dates are all inconsistent. Is this a know bug in the Xtended User Profile system in BuddyPress?

Good evening!
As the first to congratulate you on the great good work that you’ve done with the new update “BuddyPress Activity Privacy”. For me this is one of the very important plugin that I use for my community http://izacic.de. Now just to clarify one little problem that I have! I use the Template of BoddyBoss for my community who kompetabel with BuddyPres and it’s all okay. Just one small problem (large): BoddyBoss in your Template allows the uploud and images in an album, and we can picture to close with your plugin “BuddyPress Activity Privacy” and to determine who can see that these images. Of course there are many options but the problem is, for example, if the image zatvosrim and put it to see just friends then I can not as the owner of these images to see them more. With these words I would like for me to write the proposal to give only the following update if insert goes into each option to see who can post eg “only friends and I ‘..
Mfg.

Holla guys!

I apologize in advance if this question was asked before…

So heres the deal, on my buddypress site I have some pdf files and i want to add an option so that a user can check the one which he/she has read.
and then when he goes to his profile, he can also see what he has read…

Please let me know if theres a plugin which does this? a plugin which can be modified to do this? or if i need to customize myself, where should i start?

Also, i wish to add a drop down menu in the create a new topic as is in the buddypress.org forum. help me with that too!
I have the latest version of buddypress and wordpress.

This was my first post, looking forward to a start in a wonderful community!

Using WordPress 3.8 and BuddyPress 1.9

After upgrade to BP 1.9, the message usernames auto-complete functionality stop working properly.

In my install I allow Arabic characters in usernames using sanitize_user filter, and allowing BP username compatibility mode:

add_filter('bp_is_username_compatibility_mode', '__return_true');

The problem is when start typing a name in Arabic, the menu will show the encoded username, something like this:

(%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1)

while in previous version is showed the name correctly, like:

(سامر)

and when clicking on the name it will not choose it as before, instead I get error in console (firebug console):

Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #un-%D8%B3%D8%A7%D9%85%D8%B1

I am using child theme of bp-default theme, and the problem caused by line 986 on bp-default/_inc/ajax.php where urlencode is applied to usernames

$username = urlencode( $ud->user_login );

I think this will apply to all non-English (and non-Latin?) characters if allowed in WP usernames.
I am aware I can fix that in my case by overriding bp_dtheme_setup() function and include my own copy of ajax.php file which will not apply urlencode to usernames, but I really don’t want to do that and wish to continue using parent ajax.php.

Thanks.

I found this filters:

/**
 * Custom kses filtering for activity content.
 *
 * @since BuddyPress (1.1)
 *
 * @uses apply_filters() To call the 'bp_activity_allowed_tags' hook.
 * @uses wp_kses()
 *
 * @param string $content The activity content.
 * @return string $content Filtered activity content.
 */
function bp_activity_filter_kses( $content ) {
	global $allowedtags;

	$activity_allowedtags = $allowedtags;
	$activity_allowedtags['span']          = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['span']['class'] = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['a']['class']    = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['a']['id']       = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['a']['rel']      = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']           = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['src']    = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['alt']    = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['class']  = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['width']  = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['height'] = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['class']  = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['id']     = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['img']['title']  = array();
	$activity_allowedtags['code']          = array();

	$activity_allowedtags = apply_filters( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', $activity_allowedtags );
	return wp_kses( $content, $activity_allowedtags );
}

why img is allowed? is not it a security issue? where do you use id or class?

Hi,

I try to translate BuddyPress on my site in Bulgarian. And translation works, but i can’t go to wp-admin after uploading the translation files! When I try to go to wp-admin I see this text “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 6 bytes) in /users/pokerspi/public_html/work/wp-admin/includes/template.php on line 668”! When I remove the translation files of BuddyPress the problem disappears … What can I do to have a BuddyPress on Bulgarian and access to wp-admin?

I use Buddypress and Bbpress on a website that I run. I love WordPress and I really like how these plugins allow me to run a community site within a framework I am used to. Thanks guys!

I do have a problem though. I have really struggled to find a suitable host for the site as it uses a huge amount of resources compared to a simpler WordPress site. I have found that WP Engine works really well but even there the site does sometimes run out of memory and timeout. They have great support staff who have helped me to work out most of the problems. When I asked them what my single biggest problem was they replied that it was this query:

SELECT DISTINCT u.user_id as id
FROM wp_usermeta u
WHERE u.meta_key = 'last_activity'
ORDER BY u.meta_value DESC
LIMIT 0, 5 /* From [example.com/activity/] in [~/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-classes.php:434] */

They have suggested that I either remove that functionality, fix the slow query or move to their dedicated service which has more resources to cope.

Why do I really need this widget?
My site gets an update every 5-10 minutes but I believe that it still makes the site feel more active if there are the names and avatars of active users in the sidebar. When I disable it my site gets less posts.

How big is my site?
I don’t think it is that big, it has 3,700 registered users and 150,000 pageviews per month (according to Google Analytics).

What am I asking for?
This issue has been raised in the past but didn’t get any traction. It is really important to me that this widget become more efficient but I don’t feel I want to just have this as a feature request for two reasons.

1, BuddyPress is free, I can’t expect the developers to work on the whim of a single user (am I the only one?)

2, If I am forced to upgrade my hosting it will cost me hundreds of dollars a month. In other words I would be happy to sponsor this feature for a modest amount (maybe others can help)

Can anyone suggest how I move this forward? I have posted things like this before on jobs.wordpress.net but I am not sure if there are any BuddyPress skilled developers on there. How do I know who to pick? How will I know if they have done a good job until I have implemented the fix?

Can anyone help me to work out exactly what I need here and how to get it started?

Is there anyone else who needs this fix and wants to help me sponsor it?
