BuddyPress.org

Hello hardy4775, hello everyone:

Same situation, thank you, it worked on default theme but…

I switched back to the theme I want. Now after I signed up at least it gave the message that a verification e-mail was sent…but it wasn’t

The new registered user does show up in list of users, yet after login it just goes to the main page, as if nothing had happened.

What and where is the php magic that tells buddypress “send the e-mail” and register this new member?

@DJPaul any idea why this would not work on the activity page?

That is neither core WordPress, or core BuddyPress What other plugins do you have running?

If I recall well, fishbook is a child theme of bp-default theme. What you do is
1. create a new folder named `members` and
2. within that members/ directory, create another folder named `single` then
3. within the members/single/ directory, create another folder named `activity` then
4. copy over the file permalink.php within activity/ folder so result when you upload everything to server, you’ll have
5. wp-content/themes/fishbook-buddypress-buddypack/members/single/activity/permalink.php
This is what’s following the directory structure of bp-default to your own child theme folder

Before you upload, change the HTML structure of permalink.php to something similar like the page.php while keeping that page’s template tags on permalink.php

@gregfielding

Making it a custom page template and dropping in the entire register.php block didn’t work?

Also I’ve tried out the Gravity Forms add on for a registration form like this that can be placed in the page but I didn’t get into it much as I only tested it quickly when they introduced those addons. From what I recall it worked but something weird happened after the registration like the page not refreshing — I don’t remember. It also didn’t do what I wanted as far as no activation key and redirect to profile like what I use currently. So i shelf’d it. I think that would be a good option if you don’t mind getting GF. It’s a good investment! Actually, I think I’ll look into tinkering with it again.

well there is the BuddyPress for Dummies book available.

@zhonghao glad to be of service great idea on the “guide”

The subdomains & subfolder parts are controlled by multisite, not buddypress. And you can’t mix ’em. Not even with multiple networks (unless you want to map those subdomains, but I’m guessing you do not).

SO ya can’t find it cuz it’s not really easily do-able. Not without two installs.

Why not just have it all in one site? Why can’t the users have theirsite.yourdomain.com? They’ll still show up in the BP stuff.

This plugin allows that: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-easy-albums-photos-video-and-music/

However, the photos/videos are hosted under the cinopa server, not yours, unlike the Bp-albums plugin.

Yes, but I’m not a fan of the grid service in general. Winds up being slow.

What versions of WordPress, BuddyPress are you using? What theme and plugins are you using?

Which plugin exactly? Unless it’s a BuddyPress-specific plugin, you’re best to contact the author via the wordpress.org forums for any support.

Don’t bump your posts until nearer 48 hours after posting.

The widget uses bp_get_member_avatar(). (bp-core-templatetags.php, about line 314). I would not recommend changing a core file because it will be lost when you upgrade to a new version of BuddyPress.

@paulhastings0 Try this filter, it will sync user name on the fly

just paste this block of code in your template functions.php

`
/////////////////////////
///// To sync user names on the fly, it will show xprofile fullname of user
/////////////////////////
function wpi_sync_member_name($data) {
global $members_template, $bp;

#$firstname = xprofile_get_field_data( 1, $members_template->member->id ); // 1 = firstname > wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id
#$lastname = xprofile_get_field_data( 51, $members_template->member->id ); // 51 = lastname > wp_bp_xprofile_fields.id
#$fullname = $firstname .’ ‘.$lastname;
#return $fullname;

return bp_core_get_user_displayname( $members_template->member->id );

}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_member_name’, ‘wpi_sync_member_name’ );

@athimm could be the permalink structure like this ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1766

This is the template which handles the page. Copy over bp-default’s permalink.php to your child theme’s folder, and paste inside folders /members/single/activity/ following directory structure of bp-default

@athimm – Thanks for the clarification. Have you done a “tail” on your apache error log? Mine is showing this:

@hnla its only working on the profile page… but not in the other pages… any idea how to get it to work on all pages?
