Nice, looking forward to BP Mobile

Creating a custom tab in the groups page is quite simple, all it takes is a added code to the bp-custom.php file:

`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; ?>

name ) ?>

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() { ?>

<?php
}
}
bp_register_group_extension( ‘My_Group_Extension’ );
`

edit the: $this->name = ‘My Group Extension’;
$this->slug = ‘my-group-extension’;

to the names and slugs of your likings.

@invisibleland

Did you check the feature options for the plugin under ‘Settings’ > ‘BP-WP-Navbar’?
It can be set to remove only the random menu, without modifying anything else.

BTW, I agree that the plugin does have a long-ass-name but, as long as it does what it says it does, does it really matter?

@thealchemist

Looking at the source of your page, the opening div is nowhere to be seen.
Did you inadvertently delete `

@mercime @thealchemist

Smells like a plugin….. because that is not buddypress

It’s from the “buddypress links” plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/

Why abandoned? Didn’t the owner say he would pick up the bp issues after that?

Buddypress was designed for only one theme to be guaranteed to work on, (or maybe more themes now) but buddypress does not guarantee complete 100% comparability to all themes, you have to make it and tweak it to work on your theme. And some themes just were not built for buddypress, so if buddypress is an absolute need, maybe a theme change wouldn’t hurt.

@pcwriter … Actually, the post may be old, but I just posted the other day … so thanks for your fast response! And, yes, @mercime is correct – we now learn more and can use the plugin more effectively.

I’d double-check that the admin email is correct at yourdomain.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

Then, make sure that the emails aren’t being zapped by your SPAM filter.

Do you get regular BuddyPress notifications (friend requests, private messages, etc.) to the admin email?

Is your email hosted on the same server as your site? You might try switching the admin email to gmail or whatever to see if the emails go to that other account. Because if your email account is the same as your website domain but you host your email elsewhere (ex. Rackspace, Google Apps), your server might be trying to send the message locally.

Hello,
I have stumbled to this topic while searching how to change the time of activation link before it expires.
So, @kriskl how much time it takes before activation link expires when registering to your site?
I have similar problem. The default time of 2 hours looks like very insufficient for users. We have almost no spam registrations and still there are many abandoned registrations.
On the net there is no easily reachable info how to change this configuration. I have posted two threads on WP.com, still no news. Hope some of you people can help or give an idea where is that php that sets the time period.

the LEENK.ME plugin looks promising but would it be able to be set for users in buddypress not just blog owners?

@boonebgorges @LPH2005

Hey guys,

Down to just one error ‘Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/collabbo/public_html/figshare.com/figures/extensions/buddypress-activity/buddypress-activity.php on line 75’

Line 75 is ‘$checkRecentArray = mysql_fetch_array($checkrecent);’

Any ideas what I need to do?

I use this little plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

The description is not really that helpful. basically you can define certain xprofile fields to link directly to external URLs. e.g youtube, facebook, twitter, external website….etc etc

you need to manually alter the .php file in the instruction but this is very simple to do and it comes with a few stock media sites setup already.
Very good and very simple

over 100 languages

In the wp-admin panel, go to the buddypress tab on the right, see where it says “profile field setup”?

Thats what you want!

No, use Transpoosh https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/transposh-translation-filter-for-wordpress/

it’s the best translator I have ever seen, it translates everything in buddypress + blog comments

“Andy Peatling said 8 months, 4 weeks ago:
No idea if this is useful, but I’ll post it for reference.

You can remove the meta links and time since in the activity_action via a filter (put the functions in your functions.php of your theme):

function remove_activity_meta( $content ) {
return ”;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_permalink’, ‘remove_activity_meta’ );
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_time_since’, ‘remove_activity_meta’ );
add_filter( ‘bp_activity_delete_link’, ‘remove_activity_meta’ );

You are using a custom theme as soon as you do that you enter a new realm and need to know what you are doing, this particular theme Suffusion uses a custom menu of some description and BP directory menu items will not be included by default. BP hard codes these menus links in header.php (soon to change to WP nav menus)

You! have to do a little manual work in getting things to work and need to understand how both Suffusion and BP work, this act of trying to get BP to use any old WP theme is not a natural one.

In all honesty you have simply asked this question in entirely the wrong place – and perhaps I should have said this much earlier – The correct place to have addressed these issues would have been to the theme home, Suffusion has it’s own support and if you had asked there would probably have had this wrapped up and solved in no time. Strictly speaking this site supports BP and BP default theme it can’t be expected to support digressions and third party implementations – other than the plugins that have a group support home on the site.

I looked through suffusion support for you and quickly got an impression of what may be wrong however this is not something I ought to be doing for anyone

@jordashtalon how i can get post name, post url & other as you did it for the author name ($authorName = $activities_template->activities[$i]->display_name;)?

Please follow this step once more: disable whatever child theme is running and activate the bp-default theme from the dashboard/themes page, now running the default buddypress theme you should have a directory named ‘Groups’, on that page is a button next to the primary page heading which creates a new group (assuming that create new groups is enabled in the BP settings in the dashboard – components settings > ‘Let users create, join and participate in groups’).

If not then you have a defective install of the default theme and perhaps need to re-upload a fresh copy.

If you do have the create group button as expected then you have an issue withthe suffusion child theme not set up correctly but this is something that is harder to help with, this support site is primarily support for the core BP app and theme, third party themes and configurations are harder to help with unless someone has direct experience with those custom elements.

Please do not create a new topic on the same subject, continue in the existing one, creating a new thread simply serves to fracture all that we have asked and discounted thus far in trying to help you and will have members asking all the same questions over again which is a pointless exercise and wasteful of resources.

Please post a request for further help in the existing thread you started on this issue in order to bump the thread.
