Check out how to customize labels with a language file:

These are all great new features! I’ll hope “global search” and “Post something to xxx” will also make it in the defaut theme, so that theme developers could adapt it!

@mercime – that hack you linked to is totally unnecessary! It is possible to use filters to achieve the same result. The same method was brought up in the IRC room a few days ago. It is actually quite a nice way around the problem

NOTE: Please ignore this post. The same behavior in outputitng codeblocks is still being observed. Refer to the Trac ticket if you’re having the OP’s issue

Alright, we DJPaul’s help, I’ve just learned that what I used to use without issue in the old forums is no longer an option. So, I’ll redo my first post using the &#8216code&#8217 notation.

Here’s the original codeblock:


$comment_link = get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) . '#comment-' . $comment_id;
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s commented on the blog post %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), 'comment_ID . '">' . $comment->post->post_title . '' );


And here’s the corrected codeblock:


$comment_link = get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) . '#comment-' . $comment_id;
$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s commented on the blog post %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '' . $comment->post->post_title . '' );

@dandelionweb
For signups, please select the box which says user and blogs can be created.

To disable blog creation by non logged in user, put this code in your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php
Here is the code on pastebin(current forum has trouble posting code, so i posted it there).
http://bpdev.pastebin.com/1AyszwQ7

And the issue with bp-registration-options seems to be of PHP5.

If you look at the “View” link output, it is fine–no double comment reference. It is only the Blog title link that has the doubling error.

The error is caused by the Comment ID being passed twice into the sprintf() function. One time from the line above via the $comment_link variable, and the second time directly within the function via ‘#comment-‘ . $comment->comment_ID. Therefore, removing the second reference is the better option.

The way that you are currently doing it may work, but once you upgrade BuddyPress, your changes will be lost. That is why it is important to file bug tickets and get the bugs correct in the core files!

Okay, I did not include the entire code line in my post above. Line 431 (430 for you) should read as follows:

`$comment_link = get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) . ‘#comment-‘ . $comment_id;
$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s commented on the blog post %2$s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), ‘comment_ID . ‘”>’ . $comment->post->post_title . ‘‘ );`

What you need to do is this:

`$comment_link = get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) . ‘#comment-’ . $comment_id;
$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s commented on the blog post %2$s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), ‘‘ . $comment->post->post_title . ‘‘ );`

Keep (or replace) the first line as is. Make the small change to the second line. You are removing this from the end of the string:

` ‘#comment-‘ . $comment->comment_ID .`

The Visit Random Member/Group links in the buddybar don’t return randoms, just the directorys.

There is a hack to core BP files which can be turned into a plugin (hint, hint) which works in BP 1.2.3 and WPMU 2.9.2 …

Need a link to your forum threads (started and replied to) as well as an option to favorite a thread as before. Both of these were powerful tools for me as a moderator.

The Codex page ( https://codex.buddypress.org/ ) still has the old-style menus–“Forums”, “Developers”, etcetera. On a positive note, it’s the only place where there is a direct link to Trac! I miss the Trac link on the old Forum homepage.

Here’s another Support Forum issue. The old-style forums allowed for a status display for forum threads–I believe via a bbPress plugin. The red and green light indicator was a very useful tool, especially as a forum moderator. You could focus on those threads that still had a red light.

@skcsknathan001 thank you so much for updating this. I’ll test.

This is an issue with the new BP-Follow plugin. Since it does not yet have a group, I’m posting it here.

When notified that someone is now following you, it would be nice if you were taken to a page that showed just the new person or people following you. Currently, you are taken to your overall listing of followers which does include the new person/people. But as your list grows longer, you have no way of easily determining your new followers. The only way I can do this with ease is by checking my email and looking for any new BP.org sent emails.

hi
For your first question, you may want to try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/
checkout this thread too
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/moderate-members/

For the second, yes, It is possible. Just go to SiteAdmin->Options and select the radio box which says only logged in users can create blog.
PHp5 may be an issue, better why not ask your server adminstrator to upgrade.

Missing the various bbCode options to format forum post content. For instance, when quoting a codeblock, the old ““” symbols do not work anymore. See this post as an example: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/blog-comment-link-in-activity-stream-broken-has-id-twice/#post-50447

It appears that some code in function bp_blogs_record_comment() of bp-blogs.php is causing the issue. In BP v1.2.3, if you look at line 430 and 431, you can see the culprit.

`$comment_link = get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) . ‘#comment-‘ . $comment_id;
$activity_action = sprintf( __( ‘%1$s commented on the blog post %2$s’, ‘buddypress’ ), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), ‘comment_ID . ‘”>’ . $comment->post->post_title . ‘‘ );`

If you look at line 431 near the end, the comment ID is appended to the built string. But, that comment ID has already been included in the variable $comment_link which is built above on line 430. So, you get a doubling of the comment ID.

In the trunk version of BP, the latest working copy version, function bp_blogs_record_comment() is located in a different place and these two code lines appear at 371 and 372.

Please log into Trac and report this as a bug ( create a new ticket ) as it will simply get lost in the support forums. You log into Trac using the same credentials as you use to log into this site.

You can post a link to this thread to provide more details.

Missing usernames beside avatars for members who are not spammers and/or not bozos … at least that’s what I think they’re not

Well when i use gigya with wordperss 2.9.2 and buddypress 1.2.3 there is a problem with the activity stream and the users login with gigya. In the activity streams it shows only that a user make all the comments, made by other users in entries. This only happens with the users that are connected through gigya. And i tried to desactivate all the plugins and the problem is in fact the gigya plugin.

I take it back. It’s working. Must have looked at the logs to soon.

I have it set to the default 100 points. I’m only guessing, but maybe it’s because the users are created via the BP register page and not the WP form. Does it work for your new BP users?
