BuddyPress.org

The development is running the following versions of software:
WordPress v3.7.1
BuddyPress v1.8.1
Custom BuddyPress theme based on Genesis Framwework v2.0.1

I have the following code in my bp-custom.php file which I placed in the mu-plugins folder
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘vm_setup_nav’ );

function vm_setup_nav() {
      global $bp;

      // Remove a menu item
      //$bp->bp_nav['activity'] = false;

      // Change name of menu item
      $bp->bp_nav['settings']['name'] = "Password & Cart Settings";

      // Change name of menu item
      $bp->bp_nav['groups']['name'] = "Circles";
}

It wasn’t working. I changed the plugin location from wp-content/mu-plugins to wp-content/plugins and it didn’t work there either. When I put this same code in the theme’s functions file, it works.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I am not entirely sure if this should be posted on the wordpress forums or here. I think that since this PHP script is using data in the buddypress registration page, that here is the place.

Anyway, I am trying to set up a website for my Minecraft Server that I have been hosting for the past few months. I am using the code below to only allow players with a premium Minecraft account to register on the website, in order to block spammers. The link in the code (http://www.minecraft.net/haspaid.jsp?user=) will print a boolean changing if the account name is valid or not. The name is put after the “=” and if it is valid, “true” will be printed, and if it isn’t valid “false” will be printed.

I am trying to make it that the name is checked before the account is made. What should happen is that the username is taken and checked on the Minecraft database, and allow the user to register if “true” is echoed, and if “false” is echoed, the registration will not be allowed to continue.

The issue is, that I am really not skilled in PHP at all, and I can’t find out why this code isn’t working. It makes no visible change to anything, and registration continues as if it wasn’t there. If anyone could give me a hand here, that would be great. Here is my Code.

<?php
/*
   Plugin Name: Minecraft Username Validator
   Description: Minecraft username Validation
   Version: 0.1
   Author: JeremyPark123999
*/

/* Register actions */
add_action('registration_errors', 'verify_mc_account', 10, 3);
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_mcval_options');

/* Check account on minecraft.net */
function verify_mc_account( $errors, $login, $email ) {
	//$user_info = get_userdata(1);
	$user_info = get_user_by('login', $login );
	$options = array(
        'timeout' => 5,
    );
    $mcacct = wp_remote_get('http://www.minecraft.net/haspaid.jsp?user='.$user_info->user_login);

    if ( $mcacct == 'false' ) {
        if ( $mcacct == 'false' ) {
            $errors->add('mc_error',__('<strong>ERROR:</strong> Minecraft account is invalid.'));
        } else {
            $errors->add('mc_error',__('<strong>ERROR:</strong> Unable to contact minecraft.net.'));
        }
    }
    return $errors;
}
/* Activation/Deactivation */
function set_mcval_options() {
    add_option('hide_me', 'false');
}

function unset_mcval_options() {
    delete_option('hide_me');
}

register_activation_hook(__FILE__, 'set_mcval_options');
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'unset_mcval_options');

/* Add admin menu */
function add_mcval_options() {
    if ( get_option('hide_me') != "true" ) {
        add_options_page('Minecraft Validator Options', 'Minecraft Validator', 8, 'mcval-options', 'mcval_options');
    }
}

/* Display options page */
function mcval_options() {
    ?>
<?php }

Is there an easy way to remove the “Public Messaging” capabilities in Buddypress? I found some answers to this in the Forum but did not understand exactly how to do it. Hence, I’m somewhat of a Newbee in respect to changing coding, etc.

This is probably an issue caused by my site originally having just bbpress and than adding Buddypress, with bbpress forums.

Issue is that it added Buddypress and allocated the corresponding forum to the Buddypress group. I still have a few orphaned forums without groups but that’s ok.

Problem is, when an original forum poster now goes to reply to that topic, they can’t and get a bland message that they can’t post. Because they haven’t joined the group assigned to the forum.

The error message needs to give more information and I’m wondering how to go about modifying the error to do just that. Such as a bit of logic to determine whether they are a member first and then display a different message.

Any clues and/or code snippet to solve this? Any help would be great.
