@nahummadrid: but users can still flip through the blogs directory, correct?

ETA: can you link me to the page you have this running on so that I might see the pagination wonkiness in action?

There’s this widget that might help you, I can’t get it to look right on my site for some reason.
http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget-for-buddypress-1-2-and-above/

I’ve tried to get this effect by putting the feed for activity in an RSS widget, but I’d rather have something that updated more regularly (as soon as something happened) if possible. Does anyone know how?

Yes I’m aware of the issue with incorrect back ticks for quotes as It’s arisen all too often recently and why I asked whether you had copy and pasted; still, doesn’t explain why the Constant didn’t work for me , will have to look again. yep me being dumb

@hnla, @nuprn1

The constant is supposed to set the default tab that is active when you visit a profile.

In my case, although I’ve made activity the 3rd tab, it is still the default active one when I visit the profile.

Defining BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT in wp_config.php is now working for me – provided I use my new slug (‘account’) instead of ‘profile’. Also, as @nuprn1 points out – it won’t work if you cut and paste the code from this thread (because the quotes are mangled).

Thanks for the help on this guys. Much appreciated.

@nuprn1 have you any notion of why the constant definition causes an issue? or indeed why it’s required?

@nickmy please don’t hijack threads it’s makes for confusion. Please start a fresh topic on your issue/requirement.

@djpaul: how so? I thought the count for “All Blogs” in the menu bar would just be off however many blogs you hid (which doesn’t bug me since it’s only 2 in my case)?

@hkcharlie: does that affect people viewing it at all? I needed to hide my main site and the search blog that was created from using the Sitewide Tags search plugin, so I’d need everyone to have easy access to those.

correct behavior – the slug is used as the nav id

$bp->profile->slug = BP_XPROFILE_SLUG;

/* Add ‘Profile’ to the main navigation */
bp_core_new_nav_item( array( ‘name’ => __( ‘Profile’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘slug’ => $bp->profile->slug, ‘position’ => 20, ‘screen_function’ => ‘xprofile_screen_display_profile’, ‘default_subnav_slug’ => ‘public’, ‘item_css_id’ => $bp->profile->id ) );

Hello

can someone tell me how I can just remove a created Profile Category? I want to use it somewhere else and not unter the profile tab.

I’ve created a new category with fields in the Profile Field Setup and now I dont want to have it under the profile. Please I’m notgood with php. Just a special category not all of them

@nuprn1 @hnla – Ok, I’ve found the problem, or perhaps the bug in BP (I suspect this belongs in the trac)… OR, perhaps this is correct behaviour??

We’d renamed the XPROFILE_SLUG:

define(‘BP_XPROFILE_SLUG’, ‘account’);

If I remove this definition, the routine to setup the nav works fine.

Or, if I use $bp->bp_nav = 20; instead of $bp->bp_nav = 20; it works fine.

I guess bp_core isn’t taking into account changes to the xprofile slug, and that is stopping re-assignments of the nav order for the ‘profile’ tab from working

The profile tab is breaking it for me. If I remove that tab from my function, I no longer get the nonsense code generated. Note: I still get a profile tab inserted (I assume from the bp-core), even though it is no longer in my function (unfortunately, it is in the wrong place).

p.s. yes, I replaced the quotes

just tested and it works for me – but when copy/pasting from this site you get curly quotes, make sure to replace those.

p.s. @hnla yes, the default component constant also failed to load the profile for me. So, I’ve removed that

Ok… I cut and pasted the code, and that had introduced some control characters that messed everything up.

However, the routine to change the tab order is not working for me… I went for the following:

function ka_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 50;
$bp->bp_nav = 60;
$bp->bp_nav = 70;
}

add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘ka_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );

But, that results in some strange markup being created:

A new tab is displayed at the start with no content –
[li id=”-personal-li”]
[a id=”user-” href][/a]
[/li]

and the profile and messages tabs are not in the right order. I get the following rendered:

nonsense (see above) – messages – profile – activity – groups – following – settings

Doesn’t look to be. You followed the steps above exactly?

I’m not sure why the Constant is required and that for me just causes the profile link to fail to load, the function however works as described.

Did you copy and paste the code directly from this page?

@sadr
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-restrict-group-creation/ does this already.

You can set whatever defined wp_cap/role levels assigned to:
Create group capability
Create group forum capability
Create private group capability
Create hidden group capability

I added these functions as described, but neither had any effect in my theme. Is there something else missing?

@teenchat what didn’t work? did you manage to upload the BP files manually via FTP? Did BP simply not want to activate? We need fair bit of detail in order to help effectively,. What exactly didn’t work?

Sidenote: To avoid memory issues ensure that PHP mem limits are as high as you can get them i.e 64MB or higher.

If your host have control panel, enter to your file manager browse to the indicate directory and set the persmissions to 755 or 775 whit this permissions are not critial.
Or you try changin permissions whith your ftp client e.g. Filazilla

i have the same problem, try using gravatar , buddypress.org is synchronized with gravatar cya

I’ll look into it

@jho1086 Yes, this definitely the recommended solution. I would aslo recommend using PoEdit to help you through this process: http://www.poedit.net/
