BuddyPress.org

Check out the BP Skeleton Component:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-skeleton-component/

It teaches you how to create a whole plugin for BuddyPress; you won’t need to use all the code in the skeleton component, but it’ll help you structure your code for BP.

The functions you want to look at in particular are:
`bp_example_setup_globals()
bp_example_setup_nav()`

Both are located in bp-example-core.php.

Hope that helps.

Actually BuddyPress core should be amended to work with any WP theme

There are two hooks BuddyPress uses when editing a profile that you can hook into:

`do_action( ‘xprofile_profile_field_data_updated’, $field_id, $_POST );
do_action( ‘xprofile_updated_profile’, $bp->displayed_user->id, $posted_field_ids, $errors );`

These actions are in the xprofile_screen_edit_profile() function in bp-xprofile.php.

If you’re unfamilar with WP plugin development, check out the WP Plugin API:

@bigjimmysisco – Please try the amended code; I was typing on the fly and forgot to end the conditional statement!

The function_exists() conditional is important because if you ever upgrade BP Template Pack, you’ll get an error.

@mercime – Yeah, I’m looking forward to the release as well

Seriously, http://buddylite.com/buddybuilder-options/ 100 ways to customize? And the Funky Bodybuilder theme rocks! Congratulations @pcwriter

@r-a-y looking forward to “BuddyPress Theme Unite!”

If you are looking to install disqus, I must warn you that buddypress and disqus don’t get along with eachother, unless you are willing to pay $150/month for disqus premium.

If you have disqus free+ buddypress, all of your users will have to sign up again to disqus. The premium disqus has membership syncing, the free does not.

@bigjimmysisco, remove

`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’ ) :`

And

`edif;`

The code you’re looking for is this:

`if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’ ) ) :
function bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars( $action, $activity ) {
switch ( $activity->component ) {
case ‘groups’ :
case ‘friends’ :
// Only insert avatar if one exists
if ( $secondary_avatar = bp_get_activity_secondary_avatar() ) {
$reverse_content = strrev( $action );
$position = strpos( $reverse_content, ‘a<' );
$action = substr_replace( $action, $secondary_avatar, -$position – 2, 0 );
}
break;
}

return $action;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_get_activity_action_pre_meta’, ‘bp_dtheme_activity_secondary_avatars’, 10, 2 );
endif;`

Add to your theme’s functions.php.

*Sidenote: I’m working on my own “template pack” plugin, tentatively titled “BuddyPress Theme Unite!”, which will make it way easier for theme developers to add support for BuddyPress to their WP theme.

Add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

`function bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username() {
global $topic_template;

if ( !$link = bp_core_get_user_domain( $topic_template->post->poster_id, $topic_template->post->poster_nicename, $topic_template->post->poster_login ) )
return __( ‘Deleted User’, ‘buddypress’ );

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username’, ‘post->poster_login . ‘”>’ . $topic_template->post->poster_login . ‘‘ );
}`

Then use the following in your template:

`if ( function_exists( ‘bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username’ ) ) echo bp_get_the_topic_post_poster_username();`

This will only work in a forum topic loop.

The register page uses a BP template:
/registration/register.php

You could add some verbiage before the registration form in that template, perhaps a link to your blog post?

If you’re currently using the bp-default theme, create a child theme, copy /registration/register.php to your child theme and modify the template anyway you like (just don’t break anything

If user #1 becomes a friend of user #2, then the wp_bp_friends will add only 1 entry to the wp_bp_friends DB, not two.

Hope that helps.

It seems like a lot of people are urging Janrain engage to make their plugin compatible with buddypress. Maybe you can add your vote too.

hey Colage, did you have any luck resolving this issue?

To clarify, do these plugins work as expected when used with just wordpress, but not when integrated with buddypress?

Here is a website that uses buddypress and disqus. http://www.hotforwords.com
