If I was looking to pay someone, how hard would it be to add per-field privacy controls? BuddyPress is good but the whole lack of privacy has me seriously looking at Mingle.
What is the best way to get in touch with coders if I’m willing to pay for this and other custom development?
buddypress.1.5 and using bp-default theme
Have you found out anything else about this? I need this feature as well. WIth the admin bar off there are no notifications of invites other than via email. I’d like a visual indicator of the pending group invites (count) that I can display in a dashboard plugin I developed.
OK, I think I got it but it would still be nice if someone can confirm this.
In the plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-functions.php I have replaced “$src = substr( substr( str_replace( ‘src=’, ”, $src[1] ), 0, -1 ), 1 );” with “$src = substr( substr( str_replace( ‘src=’, ”, $src[1] ), 0, -1 ), 1 );
$src = str_replace(‘”‘, ”, $src);” … basically I have inserted this $src = str_replace(‘”‘, ”, $src); to remove the ” from the $src
this is still a problem. Is it a universal buddypress problem or just buddypress.org?
I go to this forum page at:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/
then click the “2? for page 2 up by the “who’s online”.
I get a white screen and it acts like it’s trying to connect forever.
interMike’s issue is not relevant.
Thanks for your help mercime.My sidebar looks perfect now…
I have a last question..BuddyPress’ layout and css is not look good with my theme.How i find a new layout or edit css ?
Thank you very much again…
A further question on the solution from @lenasterg:
Is it possible to add another filter which changes any spaces in usernames into hyphens?
I have some users who signed up before spaces in usernames were automatically turned into hyphens, so I need it to display @mr-smith instead of @mr smith.
1. Just to be sure we have a clean slate,
– if you’ve only revised activity/index.php, then upload a clean copy of activity/index.php from this page https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.1/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php
– If you’ve revised some other files already, deactivate BP Template pack plugin. Then delete the 6 folders transferred to your mammoth theme folder in server – activity, blogs, forums, groups, members, and registration. Then activate BP Template Pack and run Appearance > BP Compatibility again to the end. Fresh BP template pack folders will then be transferred to your mammoth theme folder.
2. Open up mammoth theme’s header.php and Save As header-buddypress.php in mammoth theme folder. Open up header-buddypress.php and add the following at the very bottom of the file:
`
`
3. Create a new file in your mammoth theme folder named sidebar-buddypress.php and add the following within:
`
`
4. Finally, you might want to tweak the default BP styles enqueued by BP Template Pack – check out some basic tweaks in this page
@modemlooper understood, I was thinking that since that SQL queries pulls the userid I could somehow tie in bp_core_fetch_avatar into the equation?
@modemlooper @InterMike Thats what I’m looking for. I use that plugin and it’s compatible with 1.5 and would just be amazing to show a trending hastags list with that.
Editing your replies don’t go to the correct link either (well, the last time I checked – if so, then I’ll try to edit this one as soon as I post it.)
Edit: Seems to be fixed…? Good then lol.
@boonebgorges I used your $group_details_save function from the plugin above – line 56
I only used the $plain_fields, and can’t figure out how to check if `$success = true`, to be used in the group extension api:
` if ( !$success )
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘There was an error saving, please try again’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’ );
else
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘Settings saved successfully’, ‘buddypress’ ) );`
For now I’m just skipping it so I can continue work by using `$success = true;`.
If you have a some spare time and wouldn’t mind taking a look, here is my version of the Group Extension – Past bin
Line 68 is where Im using `$success = true;`, just above the `!$success check`
Line 114 is my version of function `group_details_save`.
Ps: sorry for the long read 
This is index.php file of my theme (mammoth theme) ; http://pastebin.com/nbnHupxr
Btw every page of my theme is 2 column as default.So i want to use buddypress with sidebar like my other pages.
Thank you…
@PrimeSuspect the pastebin code for your page.php is full-width for the content with no sidebar. The source of one of your pages per pastebin above shows two columns including sidebar. Which layout was it you wanted? If two columns (with sidebar), open up index.php and paste it to pastebin.
This site is still in transition. Our forums have been pretty well indexed by Google. Go to Google and search for “BuddyPress.org malawimama“
Copy over the register.php file from bp-default theme into your child theme folder following the directory structure of bp-default i.e. into buddypress-colours/registration/register.php
To be specific, I go to this forum page at:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/
then click the “2” for page 2 up by the “who’s online”.
I get a white screen and it acts like it’s trying to connect forever.
One odd thing is that if I copy the link address from the “2” link and put it in the address field for the browser, it seems to work. Maybe some sort of AJAX problem???
joe
Does no one else see this problem? I have tried on both firefox and safari just in case it was a browser or plugin related issue but both act the same.
On this forum I can not get to page 2 (or any other page) of the postings! The screen goes white and buddypress.org never comes back again.
joe
Good catch! I’ll fix it in the next version. Here’s a ticket so I don’t forget: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component/issues/3
> (Obviously he had not activated the account before).
Wasn’t really that obvious from what you’d posted above! In any case, if you’re correct, then something is clearly going wrong somewhere – maybe the wrong key is getting sent or something. Are you using a plugin that changes how user registration works?
Hello Boon, I’m not agains that ‘feature’ I’m just not able to understand why it is outright compulsory.
About how you handle releases I’m sure you know what you’re doing so I’ll drop that.
The final one is kind of sad that I need to use a plugin to correct that, when the user has just clicked on the link provided to activate his account. (Obviously he had not activated the account before).
Thanks
OK. That seems to have me all sorted and things working on my development install. Now to deploy it to the testing environment before making it live.
If only I knew git or some other useful tool for doing this more rapidly, but thats another topic…
Thanks for all the help @mercime and @djpaul
Ah it does under the network admin, but not under site admin. I will run that now and see where that gets me. Thank You.
@boonebgorges @modemlooper Maybe a better way to look at what I was suggesting is instead of “like facebook,” look at it more like giving users “mini blogs.” An idea might be to create a new tab isolating this specific type of activity so you can leave the existing activity tab as it is listing every single thing a user does with links to said activity. Then if site admins don’t want this facebook/mini blog style feature they can just remove the tab and focus on group/forum activity. Pulling in the WordPress WYSIWYG editor for the mini blogs would also be a nice feature to top it off. All just day dream ideas.
Have you gone though the upgrade wizard? It would have nagged you when you were in the wp-admin part of the site.
