Sure enough, @peeld, your code A) set FORUMS as the default tab, and
broke the activity updates! Thanks for the help!I don’t actually mind losing the activity updates, but I’m sure most folks’ projects could benefit from a solution here that didn’t break that function.
Anyone have input here?
I am trying to create custom tabs with their own content in different groups.
Looking around the forum it seems this can be done using the Group Extension API.
According to this thread it should be possible to do it by adding the API code (copied below) into bp-custom.php.
However when I do this I get the following error:
Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in (directory)bp-custom.php
This appears to be because it is loading after Buddypress. The codex supplies information on how to fix this for building a plugin but I’m not sure how to adapt this for my code in bp-custom.php.
Can anyone help me do this?
Here’s the code I’m using in bp-custom.php which is as found on the Group Extension API page:
class My_Group_Extension extends BP_Group_Extension { function my_group_extension() { $this->name = 'My Group Extension'; $this->slug = 'my-group-extension'; $this->create_step_position = 21; $this->nav_item_position = 31; } function create_screen() { if ( !bp_is_group_creation_step( $this->slug ) ) return false; ?> The HTML for my creation step goes here. <?php wp_nonce_field( 'groups_create_save_' . $this->slug ); } function create_screen_save() { global $bp; check_admin_referer( 'groups_create_save_' . $this->slug ); /* Save any details submitted here */ groups_update_groupmeta( $bp->groups->new_group_id, 'my_meta_name', 'value' ); } function edit_screen() { if ( !bp_is_group_admin_screen( $this->slug ) ) return false; ?> <h2>name ) ?></h2> Edit steps here <?php wp_nonce_field( 'groups_edit_save_' . $this->slug ); } function edit_screen_save() { global $bp; if ( !isset( $_POST ) ) return false; check_admin_referer( 'groups_edit_save_' . $this->slug ); /* Insert your edit screen save code here */ /* To post an error/success message to the screen, use the following */ if ( !$success ) bp_core_add_message( __( 'There was an error saving, please try again', 'buddypress' ), 'error' ); else bp_core_add_message( __( 'Settings saved successfully', 'buddypress' ) ); bp_core_redirect( bp_get_group_permalink( $bp->groups->current_group ) . '/admin/' . $this->slug ); } function display() { /* Use this function to display the actual content of your group extension when the nav item is selected */ } function widget_display() { ?> <div class="info-group"> <h4>name ) ?></h4> You could display a small snippet of information from your group extension here. It will show on the group home screen. </div> <?php } } bp_register_group_extension( 'My_Group_Extension' );Incidentally, I note there is a plugin designed to achieve what I’m trying to do but as it’s only in beta I can’t use it on a live site yet.
Topic: Update Notifications
I may be missing something here – I hope not. So, when a person has replies to their comments, they’re not being notified like they do when someone sends them a private message. Is there any way to configure buddypress or use a plugin that would notify the users whenever someone responds to their activity? Right now the users are searching through the history log to see who might have responded to that, so instead of them looking for the responses, can the responses be converted into some notifications? Thanks! Any other suggestion for the solution would be appreciated.
they appear unused and not working.
right. One way they’re not working is that they don’t even report the right info. I don’t recall which it was, but I ran one of those functions, and it was printing Private in a public group.
I’m not sure what you mean “are you sure you’ve setup your $group variable correctly?”. In my thinking, BuddyPress sets it up, not me; I’m just trying to reference it. I copied that $group->status setup out of the definition for bp_get_group_type() in bp-groups-template.php.
I’ll give a whirl to the `bp_get_group_type()`, since that demonstrably at least produces the correct group visibility level; my trick will be to use its output in a conditional.
Ok, so `bp_group_type` is what prints text to the page, `bp_get_group_type` seems to summon the text as a returned value (which bp_group_type() uses for its printing)
SUCCESS!
`<?php if (bp_get_group_type()== "Public Group")
print “foo”
?>
<?php if (bp_get_group_type()== "Private Group")
print “bar”
?>`On a private group, I saw foo outputted and no bar. So it works.
It feels less than elegant. It would be more elegant to just use the variables that bp_get_group_type() calls. But for now, it works.
Thanks, @RogerCoathup, for the guidance
I have modified my buddypress to have groups show up in an iframe on a regular buddypress page. I have taken out the header and footer. I want members to be able to click around the group within the iframe. I do want members to be able to click out of the iframe into the parent window when they click on a members name or members link. Otherwise, when they click on a link, the iframe links to the whole site within the iframe.
I am looking for a fast way to add a target=”_parent” to each member link.
Please help!
I’ve just tried adding BuddyPress (v1.5.7) to an existing install of WordPress (v3.4.1) but ran into a problem. Basically because I’m running my install on a Windows box using IIS (v5) I can’t use .htaccess for pretty permalinks but I can’t work out how to stop BuddyPress from trying using them.
Is it possible to use BuddyPress without having pretty permalinks and if it is how can I do it ?
p.s. Unfortunately I’m stuck with using IIS5 on Windows (moving it on to a UNIX box isn’t an option).
Thanks,
There’s an old script available on code.google.com called “wordpress-to-bbpress-converter”. It generally does what I want it to do, only it works with the old standalone bbPress, which doesn’t even seem to be available on bbpress.org any more. I was wondering if there’s some more recent method of converting WP posts and comments into forum threads, ideally within BuddyPress?
Ok I’ll start up say it. Anyone used Buddypress for something like Yelp?
The key thing for my plans is getting users to submit reviews BUT I want people to be able to search multiple fields. Anyone seen Buddypress in action for a review website?
Thanks
daveYour plugin was actually the first thing I tried when I noticed the problem. It’s still running on my site with the core links in the order I chose, however, it’s not seeming to put them in any order.
I was going to try and sleep on it then try to figure it out, but I can’t get to sleep knowing I have this problem. It’s my bit of OCD I suppose.
I think the main problem is that the Gantry for BuddyPress and RocketTheme template framework removes a lot of the WordPress code and replaces it with standard html in their own files. Not sure if that makes any sense… lack of sleep and all.
I didn’t know if there was any way to use a bp-custom.php to manually make the changes to the core or the additional plugin links?
Thanks for the reply. Hopefully I can think better one I get some shut-eye.
