BuddyPress.org

This is a known bug:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2137

I have similar issues, and I have been pondering possible reasons this occurs.

I take the time to copy domain names that spammers com from, and add them to the mu-options as domains that are not allowed to create an account. I find that even after doing this, sometimes I get several more members with those email addys.. sometimes not.. the past week has seen a lot.

There was a time a few months ago when it was a known bug for this, but I am guessing it’s been fixed in mu by now – (I’m using 2.92 I think).

This is what I am thinking MAY be happening, and I’d love a way to update MU to close this loophole, if indeed it exists.

I am thinking that the spammers actually created a dozen or more accounts, and only activated one at a time. I am thinking that perhaps by the time I add the bad domain to the list of no-signups-allowed, they have already created several others – and simply activate them later.

If this is true, I would love for MU / Buddypress to do a check, when a member actually does this activation, and tell them sorry – the email domain is now on the bad list, and they can not activate.

Not sure if this is true, just a thought.

Since I’m spending more time than I’d like in the Profile Admin, I added a date field to test your issue. It worked properly for me. I’m using your same current versions of BP and WP. If you got a minute, let me know if this situation below exists for you. Thanks:

you are loosing the Mystique body class so anything you set in admin for site layout is being lost.

try something like

function fix_body_class() {

return false;

}

add_filter( 'bp_get_the_body_class', 'fix_body_class', 10, 2 );

$activity_id = bp_activity_post_update( array( ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id ) );

$activity_id = groups_post_update( array( ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘group_id’ => $group_id ) );

The functions above will post an update by the user on their profile, or in a group. It will return the activity ID which you can use to attach a comment:

$comment_id = bp_activity_new_comment( array( ‘activity_id’ => $activity_id, ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘parent_id’ => [optional] ) );

You could post a reply to that comment by using the same function and passing the $comment_id as the parent_id param.

this function will return the link to the last post for a given topic (inside the loop) (where 15 is the default posts per_page setting)

bp_forum_extras_topic_last_post_link( 15 )

I love that function, especially when I remember to echo it…

Actually though, I meant, is there a way to link to the last active post In the Forum Index (i.e. outside of the forum loop)? So, for each table row, list the forum name, then list the “freshest” post in one of the next columns?

Chris – your latest update says compatible with standard wordpress but I have WordPress 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3 and can’t find your plugin settings screen in my dashboard after activating. Can you tell me where to look?

I dont know about 3 tiers.. Works with my cleanroar theme and BP with two tiers.. I guess its dependent on WP pages. if you can set a page as a child of a child (a step child lol) then prolly.. I have never needed to go that deep.

Hi @etiviti – I stand corrected

The buttons do need a slight change for my bbcode plugin.

under lists it needs to be

echo "BBcodeButtons.push(new BBcodeButton('ed_ul','UL','[ul]','[/ul]','u','','unordered list')); BBcodeButtons.push(new BBcodeButton('ed_ol','OL','[ol]','[/ol]','o','','ordered list')); BBcodeButtons.push(new BBcodeButton('ed_li','LI','[li]','[/li]','l','','list item'));";

as my plugin handles lists with the correct bbcode codes.

Just might be worth putting this in a future update (a statement if bbcode short-codes enabled use that for lists, else use the original items)

Cheers! its looking good.

hi try check on the cubepoints plugin and enhance it to work with bp, would very much like to have it on my site, user points..

or check this forum topic:

i think it should help

re: forum index

etiviti (rich!), I spiffed up the forum index by adding Group/Forum avatars beside the forum title/description (see code below)

Question: can you think of an easy way to include a link to the last active post, say, in a final column? I looked at the code last night didn’t get that far.

—

Add Avatar to BP Forum Extras – Forum Index

Under:

<td class=”num td-title”>

Add:

<div class=”item-avatar”>

<?php $width=50;$height=50;$type=’thumb’; echo bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $listing->id, ‘object’ => ‘group’, ‘type’ => $type, ‘avatar_dir’ => ‘group-avatars’, ‘width’ => $width, ‘height’ => $height ) ) ?>

</div>

Here’s how I handle it for my BuddyPress Privacy Component. I have a loader file called bp-authz-loader.php. It contains all the necessary plugin metadata at the top of the file. After the metadata, I have this as the first function:

/**

* BPAz_init()

*

* Initialize basic constants and make sure BuddyPress

* is installed and activated. If true, then allow for

* Privacy Component to finish loading.

*

* @since 0.4

*/

function BPAz_init() {



/* Define the component's parent folder name */

define( 'BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_NAME', 'bp-authz' );



/* Define component's directory and URL Paths */

define( 'BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_DIR', WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_NAME );

define( 'BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_URL', WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/' . BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_NAME );



/* Define the directory where user settings' functions reside */

define( 'BP_AUTHZ_SETTINGS', BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_DIR . '/' . 'settings' );



/* BuddyPress is installed and activated, finish initialization and go! */

require_once( BP_AUTHZ_PLUGIN_DIR . '/bp-authz-core.php' );

}

add_action( 'bp_init', 'BPAz_init' );

I have two more functions in this file, one to register the plugin upon activation, the other to register it upon deactivation. But that is all. Just these three functions.

If BuddyPress is installed and activated, BPAz_init() will fire, resulting in the rest of my component being activated when bp-authz-core.php is loaded. I’ve tested it and it works as expected without causing BP to crash. In other words, if BP is not activated but my plugin is activated, nothing happens. This is what you want.

Hi Jozik,

is your Plugin actually already working with the latest BP ?

I did check your website, but it seems it is not online anymore…..

Many thanks,

Erich

I have the activity component (Activity Streams) disabled and get this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_activity_id() in /home/wazaalli/public_html/edu/wp-content/plugins/bp-oembed/bp-oembed.php on line 63

When I have activity active it works fine. But I don’t want an activity wall.

I took out bp-activity from plugins and bp-activity.php but still the same. All the errors point to activity.

Hi @etiviti I’ve updated to the latest stable release (and tried the latest dev release) but there’s still no button support for bbshort code

I will mod 0.1.8 as I want to try the new stuff out.

Also the readme has vipers plugin still in it as well.

Good work though!

Cheers

I can speak to the ones I’ve written here.

Update friendly: BP Group Management, Enhanced BuddyPress Widgets (as long as you’re using the most recent version), Invite Anyone.

Not necessarily update friendly: Group Forum Subscription, which I haven’t updated for BP 1.2 so is use-at-your-own risk at the moment (I recommend https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/ instead).

That’s a great looking and functional site. But there’s some heavy customization, right?

Let’s put our collective heads together and work out which plugins are breaking when BuddyPress is deactivated. I’ll update the list over time.

i was dreaming about it last night and had a few moments this morning between meetings….

so how about something like this?
