@r-a-y

I know this is an old thread, but I can’t get your excellent code working for tinymce on topic/reply front end.

Works fine in tinymce on backend, Works fine for textarea on front end, but not timymce on front end. I need it working on frontend in forums.

Is there a more up to date version that works with current bp and bbp, or do you have any ideas how to get it working.

the code I am using is

/**
 * Enable at-mention autocomplete on BuddyPress group forum textareas.
 */
function my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas( $retval ) {
	$bbpress = false;

	// Group forum reply.
	if ( bp_is_group() && 'topic' === bp_action_variable() && bp_action_variable( 1 ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Group forum topic.
	if ( bp_is_group() && bp_is_current_action( 'forum' ) ) {
		$bbpress = true;
	}

	// Do stuff when on a group forum page.
	if ( true === $bbpress ) {
		$retval = true;
		
		// Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
		add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce', 10, 2 );
	}

	return $retval;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_maybe_load_mentions_scripts', 'my_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_textareas' );

/**
 * Ensure at-mentions autocomplete works with TinyMCE for bbPress.
 *
 * @param array  $settings   An array with TinyMCE config.
 * @param string $editor_id Unique editor identifier, e.g. 'content'.
 * @return array  $mceInit   An array with TinyMCE config.
 */
function cac_enable_mentions_in_group_forum_tinymce( $settings, $editor_id ) {
	// Add bbPress' editor IDs to enable BP mention autocomplete.
	if ( 'bbp_topic_content' === $editor_id || 'bbp_reply_content' === $editor_id ) {
		$settings['init_instance_callback'] = 'window.bp.mentions.tinyMCEinit';
	}

	return $settings;
}

Never mind! I’ve found a fabulous solution that has gotten me out of SQL query hell. Again, if anyone else is trying to sort a Members Directory, here’s what I did:

1) Put it in a table, not a list (I had done this anyway, since I wanted a single-page directory that displayed xprofile fields horizontally) — make sure it has a <th> table header row;
2) Install the plugin Table Sorter https://wordpress.org/plugins/table-sorter/ and add the class “tablesorter” to the table.

Et voilà! I commented out the sort type dropdown in members/index.php starting with
<div class="item-list-tabs" id="subnav" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Members directory secondary navigation', 'buddypress' ); ?>" role="navigation">
all the way through

<?php
/**
 * Fires inside the members directory member order options.
 *
 * @since 1.2.0
 */
do_action( 'bp_members_directory_order_options' ); ?>
</select>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

and I made sure that the default single page list showed all users alphabetically by default in members-loop.php

<?php if ( bp_get_current_member_type() ) : ?>
	<p class="current-member-type"><?php bp_current_member_type_message() ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&per_page=500' . '&exclude=1,2,3,4,6' . '&type=alphabetical') ) : ?>

And then all I had to do was add that tablesorter class to the table as required by the tablesorter plugin, and I got a nice dynamic table with sortable columns, which can also be sorted by multiple criteria by holding down the Shift key on the second column. I set the initial sort order with parameters that select the column by number, as described at http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-option-sort-list.html and elsewhere.

<table id="members-list" class="tablesorter {sortlist:[[4,0], [3,0], [2,0], [1,0], [0,0]]}" aria-live="assertive" aria-relevant="all">

Yay.

#buddypress form#whats-new-form #aw-whats-new-submit {
    background: transparent;
}

The above is what chooses the color of the button. Just replace transparent with a hex. i.e. #000000 for black.

You can also limit it to just the activity page with the activity pages class which is .activity:

.activity #buddypress form#whats-new-form #aw-whats-new-submit {
    background: transparent;
}

I’d be careful with the .activity class, it’s a really vague class so other plugins, themes may use it.

have you looked at http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=a

Hi @mironegrini-

This isn’t possible, and will likely be even less possible in the future (as GDPR becomes a reality). BuddyPress does a bunch of cleanup when a user is deleted. You can search the code base for the actions: 'wpmu_delete_user' and 'delete_user' to see all the hooked cleanup functions. You could unhook those actions, but then you’d likely have broken content (all of the user functions would refer to nonexistent users).

Hi @danperis-

This is something that the devs are actively working on with that plugin and it’s a known issue. You can watch their progress here: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/tree/digest-queue

and maybe here: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-group-email-subscription/pull/100

Hi I’m not exactly sure what you mean, but if you’re looking to get the profile image associated with a group or user, you can use the avatar-fetching function that BP uses in its templates, bp_core_fetch_avatar():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.9.3/src/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php#L99

As an example, you might use

bp_core_fetch_avatar( array(
			'item_id' => $user_id,
			'type'    => 'thumb',
			'width'   => false,
			'height'  => false,
			'html'    => true,
			'alt'     => sprintf( __( 'Profile picture of %s', 'buddypress' ), 'user name' )
) );

Hello, you can take advantage of User Extended Profiles to collect Skype information from your users, like their username or whatever.

User Extended Profiles

@njones7 you can check https://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-user-contact-form/

This plugin is awfully close to what you’re trying to do. You might try modifying it to show groups in a drop down instead of the options offered:

BuddyPress Registration Groups

I doubt that any plugin is going to support group creation at registration; group creation is a multi-step process, and is too much to ask a new user to do at the same time as registration.

I’d say if you’re worried about people creating groups (which is a reasonable thing to worry about), your safest bet is to uncheck the checkbox “Enable group creation for all users” (or something like that) at wp-admin > settings > buddypress , and restrict group creation to site admins only. Then, add a group request form or similar, and you can either create the group or not.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-removedisable-hidden-group-creation/

Yes, you can do any amount of extra validation on the hook bp_signup_validate.

Something like this would probably do what you are trying to do:

add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', function(){
	$allowed_users = array( 'user1@domain.com', 'user2@domain.org' );
	if ( isset( $_POST[ 'signup_username' ] ) && ! in_array( $_POST[ 'signup_username' ], $allowed_users ) ) {
		$bp = buddypress();
		$bp->signup->errors['signup_username'] = 'Sorry, your email address is not able to register with this site.';
	}
} );

There are several examples on the web for doing things on that hook. (BuddyPress Registration Options does some things, for instance.)

HI @baccoeur-

The best way to troubleshoot is to deactivate as many plugins as feasible, ideally leaving only BuddyPress active and using a common theme like Twenty Seventeen, to test the behavior. Then, check to see if the problem is resolved. Reactivate plugins and re-check to see which one is causing the conflict.

It only takes a few minutes to do this test, and will help you figure out where the problem actually is.

After posting this, I found CSS that works to remove the menu items, if it helps anyone else.

https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-customize-or-delete-buddypress-standard-menus

For the site CSS I set:
a#user-notifications {display : none !important}
a#user-invite-anyone {display : none !important}
a#user-settings {display : none !important}

BP adapts to any theme you use. If you’re looking to customize specific aspects, you can take advantage of the BP template hierarchy:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Are you using BuddyPress member types, or something else?

Member Types

Hi, there are a lot of reasons that email fails. There’s a current issue with non-SSL domains and Outlook.com for instance: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-emails-not-going-out/

If you’re not receiving any emails from your WordPress site, start by testing your site setup with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/check-email/

In any case, we’ll need more detail, like what the user’s email address domain is, to help you troubleshoot.
