BuddyPress.org

I think i’ve found a solution here:

Change Default Members Profile Landing Tab

But but but, it doesn’t work. I’ve done what they’ve written. Exact same.

It doesn’t matter what theme is being used, anytime it is set to Nouveau templates activity doesn’t load. It works in legacy. Interesting enough I CAN load activity using activity shortcode. I have disabled this to test and there is no change for buddypress loading activity like it should.

BuddyPress Activity Shortcode

P.S.: I can now update cover photos; Autoptimize was preventing that from happening. Was also preventing using TinyMCE in forums to upload photos.

NOW BOTH those things work (THANK GOD)….but the Avatar is STILL not being allowed to upload.

Note: when I disable a “Reorder” plugin, which reorders javascript and style sheets, I can upload avatars, but the entire back end no longer functions well — it’s as if scripts are disabled. For example: if I’m in the Plugins screen and click the box where it selects all plugins, and that Reorder plugin is disabled….? Only the box I checked (the little one on top of the list for all plugins that SHOULD be activating all checkboxes to be checked when it’s checked)…..only that box gets checked. Nothing initializes. :/

I’ve since deleted Autoptimize but kept the Reorder plugin (because my site can’t function without it for now). I need a better solution. EITHER a way to make sure no “reordering” happens for BuddyPress (like a “do not reorder me” command or something similar)…..or a better “reordering plugin”….

Thoughts?

Thanks for the super quick response @shanebp!

I did take a look at this filter, but in reviewing the BP_Email class, it would appear that this only disables the BP PHP Mailer templating system, but still sends the email using WP Mail.

I really want to prevent it from sending any BP Emails at all, whether through WP Mail, or the BP_Email system.

I also noticed the “bp_send_email” action hook, which looks like it could be used to collect all of the token data from the email before it is sent:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/6f6bbc1ccf78a1c91e7b0bf33de704807570002b/src/bp-core/bp-core-functions.php#L3140

In theory, I could use this to send my own email using the Email Type and Token data. Is there anywhere in the BP source code that will show me how the associative array for the Token data is formatted? And is there anywhere that I can see a list of the supported Email Types?

Any help with this would be much appreciated!

Actually, it was working some time ago and was showing all widgets but, I wanted to remove the Title of the page as it was showing repeated Title, so for Members page from “Page Attributes” I changed “Default Template” to “No Title” and then all widgets gone away. So, I don’t think its a bug of theme.

All other buddypress pages are showing sidebar widgets. Only Members page has issues. So my question is, in case if I deletes or edit members or any other buddypress default pages by mistakes, I can’t recreate them? Technically they are all blank pages.

Buddypress does this automatically. It requires a blank page with default template, no membership required.

This is how it works for other pages.

I think I’ve found it. In buddypress/bp-activity/classes/class-bp-activity-component.php, on line 182, the two arguments has_directory and directory_title seem to drive this listing inside of parent::setup_globals($args). I’ll be testing this tonight.

@prashantvatsh Sorry to bother you, but I tried the following solution, and it is still not working:

First, I added the following code to my bp-custom.php file:

<?php

//The following creates avatar class in activity stream
//based on x-profile field data

function buddydev_create_avatar_class_based_on_field_data() {
    
	$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	$title = xprofile_get_field_data('25', $user_id); // field ID or name
	$title = strtolower( $title );	
	$class = $title.'avatar';
	
	echo $class;
}

add_action( 'create_activity_avatar_class_based_on_field_data', 'buddydev_create_avatar_class_based_on_field_data', 10, 1 );

?>

Then, I added the following as a class inside the div tag for activity avatar in my buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/entry.php file:

<?php do_action( 'create_activity_avatar_class_based_on_field_data'); ?>

Yet still it is not working. Did I put the do_action in the wrong file?

oh that fixed it by the way, thanks for the link @shanebp

now, the only weird thing i need to fix is the fact that the group title is not showing and instead says, ‘hidden group’

why in the world this would be something to show in lieu of the group title is beyond me. the group title is nowhere to be shown on the page, at all….so if a user is part of multiple hidden groups it can get confusing very fast, if they can’t figure out which group they’re in without going through comments, etc…i’d rather not do that to users.

i want the title of the group to show where it says, ‘hidden group’ rather than the message that it’s hidden.

if for some reason that is ‘too complex a task’ for buddypress to handle or involves a lot of wacky workarounds, i’d rather change that message to something else that i can use as a default, and then just use the description to signify which group they’re in, and what the group was created for.
