It’s not entirely clear how you would integrate this into BuddyPress itself, since every installation will have different “links” between profile fields. What kind of interface would be used to allow site admins to dictate such dependencies? If anyone is interested in providing a patch, or building a plugin, it might be worth looking at something like Drupal to see if they’ve implemented similarly dependent metadata fields, and how they’ve done it.
Hmm I see, what you mean by to be done on the frontend is by editing the source code right?
I think this feature have been requested by others also and I think this is pretty basic functionality.
Hope this feature will be integrate to buddypress in the near future.
Depends on where you’re trying to alter the excerpts. If you’re trying to change the exceprt length of a blog post, then this should work. Otherwise, you’ll want to take a look at `bp_create_excerpt()`. As of right now, this doesn’t have a filter, so you’re a bit stuck. If you could post a feature request ticket on Trac (http://trac.buddypress.org) explaining what need and reference this post, I’ll take a look at creating a patch to remedy this.
Yes, BuddyPress is only a WordPress plugin 
I’m not sure I can share the cause of the “error”, but it made me facepalm when I saw it When 1.2.9 comes out, it should go away until John James Jacoby can properly update the site
ok i just did that – great thanks.
You dont happen to know how to change the notification email origin do you? Mine says noreply @www.mysite.com and i dont want the www. to appear
well i’m not sure if it’s implemented to work especially with buddypress, but i’ve been using it with BP and it works just fine.
can not help you with first question, way above my skills.
if you mean registration page than it is already in .po files, but all additional fields (from base group) you could simply write in necessary language.
Ok thanks, I’ll try that. My hosting is with ipage so i should be able to do it through their FTP program.
Does that plugin work for buddypress including on member pages?
@r-a-y thanks for your reply! I don’t know a lot of php so please bear with me. This is what I did, based on what you suggested:
`
get_results(“SELECT activity_id FROM $wpdb->wp_bp_activity_meta WHERE meta_value = ‘favorite_count’ ORDER BY meta_value”);
foreach ($favorite_id as $favorite_id) {
echo $favorite_id->activity_id;
}
?>
` etc..
Nothing gets echoed in the foreach loop, but $favorite_id echoed on its own returns “array”. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong as what gets outputted in the browser is “Sorry, there was no activity found. Please try a different filter.” even though there are 4 activity items favorited by two different test users. 
What am I doing wrong? Many thanks for any help!!
I am having the same issue users can register to get the e-mail with the link with the key and it gives this results

If I may join in to this line….
If have a question about that activitystream…
When people type in their own language in the activity-stream, would it be possible to select the post in one language. For example when people post messages in English, french and german, would it be possible to filter out all the french posts? I don’t believe that feature already exist but to my logic understanding it must be as easy or as difficult as filtering out your friends.
It would be a great solution for my site.
One more question….
Is it possible to localize the registerpage?
thanks @boonebgorges
already found acceptable solution, changing lines in .po files, then translating these lines back to origin etc…not the best way, but is ok.
Please read here. There are also patches on trunk now:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2194
@boonebgorges
apologize, BP js message are actually all translatable… i meant plugins – which are third parties stuff.
Sometimes confusing because these plugins are not localized correctly, or using old modified BP phrase, are delivered with missing pot file and so on…
@alierkurt
great work! installed the plugin and it works! was trying to fix this problem for a while now
It’s not so much an “issue” as it is a feature of the way things work in BP. The activity action (“James posted a new forum topic…”) is saved directly to the database; it is translatable at the time of creation, but after that it is a literal string in the database and cannot be translated. This may be changed in the future, but for now, there’s not a straightforward way to fix this. (You could build a filter to do the replacement on a language-by-language basis)
thanks guys, probably, I have crawled to the wrong kitchen.
my issue is that during publication of updates (without refresh) all other languages/non english letters are rendered as unknown symbols, after refresh all is fine again.
checked testbp.org and there all works excellent for every language, so, I am starting to think that issue is my localhost not bp, because I really can not assume what is the difference between testbp.org and my page, because during every necessary step/installation I used utf-8.
Edit: what I said here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-localization-issues/ is still an opened question with no response.
thanks again.
@matt.ginty Did you manage to resolve this? Sounds like I am having the same issue. Would be good to know how to navigate this one.
@r-a-y
Hi,
this is the solution I found with your help, what you think?
`
bp_get_member_user_id(),’field’=>typology )); ?>
`
@chouf1 – Can you tell me where there are javascript messages that are not being translated? All javascript in BuddyPress is supposed to be localized (though it does use a different technique from __() and _e()); anything untranslated is probably a bug.
Download a new ajax.php file corresponding to your BP version from the trac.
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser?order=name#tags
You probably have some whitespace somewhere.
@James
I don’t realy know what is your problem. What i can s&y is that my DB has the following settings
language: french
DB caracters table: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
DB settings utf8_general_ci
If you need to use octals to translate some javascript messages, use them in your xx_XX.po file or create another xx-XX..po to translate your specific messages.
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/translations/
What you said here: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/buddypress-localization-issues/ let me think you have troubles because you use 3 different languages.
I would recommand you to test first with one language. When this works correctly, try separatly with the others.
After that it would be probably better for you to use a multilingual plugin like WPML and buddypress multilingual.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-multilingual/
It’s also important for you to check all the js files, because most of them are not localized. You can do this manually from within a child theme.
Normally your visitors has nothing to do with updates. And they have nothing to care about octals.
@alan, can you please tell me who did the work for you, i dont mind paying. have been wanting to do a gallery of that type on my site
thanks for your help
Wow, this is great.
So you are not even using the buddypress groups?
