BuddyPress.org

With BuddyPress/bbPress installed you can add a link to your profile with ##profile_link## in the URL input from Links section bellow. Example: ##profile_link##/messages

You can also include the members username next to the My Account avatar with ##member_name## in the Title Attribute field.

For add Create Groups for everyone type in the Title Attribute field
##profile_link##/groups/create/step/group-details/

In case anyone runs into this forum topic looking for a similar fix. I needed to do two more things to get this perfect (thanks @danbp for the great start).

Under each field, the default privacy is displayed, so you need to make sure that for every option you add, the default is either “All Members”, or “Only Me” so that “Everyone” doesn’t appear as a default under each field, despite the fact that you’ve hidden the option to chose it once the user hits the Change button.

Additionally, under the name field, “Everyone” is the default, and it can’t be changed. This isn’t really accurate if you site is private, so I have hidden the line that says that the Name field is visible by Everyone with an additional CSS snippet.

/* Remove Everyone option from Profile Fields to ease confusion on a private site */

li.public {display:none!important;}

1 – get the member types
2 – if $mt == the_allowed_type
3 – show the button

@johanna75 – looks like an interesting plugin – not sure if it’s a free plugin with paid extensions, or a premium plugin altogether – or how it works- you are best off asking those plugin makers more than likely. I see they have 2 premium add on extensions that seem to fit in with what you are asking about though: the geo members directory and the xprofile fields extensioons – which seem to be priced from $29 – $130 each.

again, not sure how any of the plugin is working for you – it kind of sounds like there is some info that has been added to your member’s profiles.. and if it that’s the case – you may have some luck with adding the “bp profile search” plugin – which is free. There some quick docs on how to get it up and running on a page or wdiget with certain features -> http://dontdream.it/

That may be all you need… if not, I would cough up the money for the premium addon and ask the author of the main plugin – sounds like it’ll be faster and easier to get working..

the buddypress forums are likely going to leave you hanging with no answers if you ask about anything like plugins, themes, custom mods that are premium / aka costs money.

I’d love to know if your plugin maker there has a way to turn off the “google maps” part – I mean it sounds nice on the features page – but I’m pretty sure html5 has a geo location feature that can be tapped into without using google maps.. and if I was to use a plugin like that, I would certainly not be sacrificing my user’s privacy by using something that depended on the big G to get their data. Surely there are other ways / other options.

my 2cents.. your situations may be different

Hi,

seems you’re in wp-admin media library when you get that error. The message comes from WordPress. BuddyPress doesn’t use backend editing and doesn’t use edit tools on front-end like “mirror” or “rotate” when he handles pictures.

With BP, a user can handle his avatar picture and the cover header for profile and groups, and all that from front-end.

Where is the image in BuddyPress that you try to edit ?
Please give details, so your issue could evtl. be reproduced.

That’s how it works with JS. No idea if you can modify easely this behave between BP/theme and client side… personnally, i can’t help you with that.

And the codex is not very verbose about favorites.

If interest to study code, see here.

Hi,

BuddyPress hasn’t a video player. By default, BP use WordPress embeds. Read attentively this document, to understand how embeding videos is working and how READING videos is automatted.

If you want thumbnails in place of the default wrapper, you could use some plugin like this one (untested). And they’re many other on the plugin repo. Only thing you have to take attention with such a plugin, is his compatibility with BP. For ex. wall activities are not exactly blog posts.

If you’re comfortable with CSS, you can even try to modify the existing wrapper size.

Note also that all of these tips have not very much to do with BuddyPress, but with theming.

A brief check for wp-content/themes/rehub/buddypress/groups/single/index.php indicates that you use a wrong file.

There is no index.php file in the original template directory of /groups/single/…

So it may by interesting for you to review the group page install – evtl. register permalinks again and to check how you implemented “/buddypress” into your theme. About theme, do you use a child theme ?

Perhaps read the template doc if it is a bit unclear.

Hi and sorry for your issue. Could be a lot of things. From php version to file access rules… Best to do is to verify you have the minimum requirements needed by WP and BP on your host plan and to contact your host support.

My experience on an iPad with BuddyPress and the change profile photo is as follows:

Safari (custom theme) – same as above, hard to find the right spot to get the iOS menu to appear
Chrome (custome theme) – worked perfectly, the touch zone matched the physically drawn button on screen.
Safari (Twenty theme) – different site, but worked without an issue straight away.

There is something with some of the themes (I am using one from Template Monster that has this issue, and another from them does not have an issue at all.
About to see if they can provide a fix for this. It seems odd it’s only a Safari issue, and only on some themes.

This isn’t ideal. Can you open a ticket on Trac explaining the issue?

Is it possible that users can choose to auto delete the chat…

BuddyPress doesn’t have chat functionality. Are you using a plugin?

That’s what i expected, but you’re wrong and can’t get any content from there.

Members is a BuddyPress page which should stay empty. This page (like the other BP pages) exist for internal purpose only. WP create the slug and BP need that slug to fire dynamic content into the “members” page.

To resume, the page called “members” is mandatory, and depending the context, will show different things.

your-site/members/ -> the members list
your-site/members/seb/ -> Seb’s profile
your-site/members/seb/notifications -> Seb’s notification
etc….

You’re always on the same permalink/page, but with very different content.

If you need to add some content to the member page, you can do that by using the action hooks you’ll get on the different contextual templates.

Or a little more complex, by hardcoding something yours into a template, with help of a child theme.

Or even much better, specially if you want to reuse your work on another site, with a plugin. But whatever, you have to use the template parts, not the page itself, or the “page editor”, which is to write static content.

The function used to show @ mention is bp_displayed_user_mentionname in this template context:

<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>

Above the profile header you have the fullname, which use this function: bp_displayed_user_fullname.

To replace the mention by the fullname, you can use this snippet (goes to bp-custom.php):

function bpfr_user_fullname() {
        // uncomment below if you want this only for logged in users.
	//if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
		//return false;

	echo bp_displayed_user_fullname();
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_displayed_user_mentionname', 'bpfr_user_fullname' );

To remove the existing fullname, you use something like:

function bpfr_remove_fullname_from_profile() {	
global $bp;
	
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	remove_filter( 'bp_displayed_user_fullname', isset( $bp->displayed_user->fullname ) ? $bp->displayed_user->fullname : '' );
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_displayed_user_fullname', 'bpfr_remove_fullname_from_profile' );

And in case of you want to modify the @ sign, it is hardcoded in the template. You have to remove it manually via a child-theme.

It’s already explained in one of the topics i supplied.

Fortunately, the BuddyPress support forum has a search feature!

I used it to find “link to profile” specially for you:

bp_core_get_userlink()

As you know that it is your plugin who generate the redirection, it is on their support that you have to ask for a solution.

Hi,

while reading your story, it appears that your issue came up just after you installed an affiliate plugin.
Why don’t you remove that plugin ? And why do you think that BuddyPress is the only to be concerned ? Have you made some test ? How can we reproduce your issue ?

Also you provide an url to a register page. If you use restricted access, it’s not very handy to check what’s going on on your site. And mentionning a plugin without giving a link where to get or find it, is useless…

Without details, nobody can help you here.
