BuddyPress.org

Oh and its important to note that none of the tools for buddypress work to fix this issue.

Dear danbp,
first of all tank you for killing the discussion with your silence.
Almost two months ago I asked you for help, without success.

After a while I realized that I can perform a supposedly so simple task myself.
I’m writing now to inform other people that want the “create a group” button in the single member’s “groups” page or somewhere else in a buddypress template page.

After reading some buddypress documentation I replicated in my child theme the buddypress templates and css folders structure.

Looking into the group-related php files I noticed that the function for the button “create a group” is called bp_groups_directory_group_filter.

The “groups” page for the single member is generate by the file located in the following folder in my child theme: my_child_theme/buddypress/members/single/groups.php

It is starting with the following code

<?php
/**
 * BuddyPress - Users Groups
 *
 * @package BuddyPress
 * @subpackage bp-legacy
 */

?>
<div class="item-list-tabs no-ajax" id="subnav" role="navigation">
	<ul>
		<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) bp_get_options_nav(); ?>
		
		<?php if ( !bp_is_current_action( 'invites' ) ) : ?>

			<li id="groups-order-select" class="last filter">

				<label for="groups-order-by"><?php _e( 'Order by:', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
				<select id="groups-order-by">
					<option value="active"><?php _e( 'Last Active', 'buddypress' ); ?></option>

It’s enough to add the line
<?php do_action( 'bp_groups_directory_group_filter' ); ?>
after line 12
<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ) bp_get_options_nav(); ?>
and you do the trick.

Now in the single member’s “groups” page there will be the following buttons:
Memberships | Invitations | Create a group

In the same way you can add this button to any other template page, taking care that the function it’s placed in the right position in the code.

Thank you again danbp: your silence was not very professional but perhaps stimulating in order to take initiative, learn something and solve a problem by myself.

Just so this is complete. Here’s the code updated for BuddyPress 2.6 or later.

function add_settings_subnav_tab() {

    //reorder messages tabs
    buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array(
        'position' => 10,
    ), 'compose', 'messages' );

    buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array(
        'position' => 11,
    ), 'inbox', 'messages' );

    buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array(
        'position' => 12,
    ), 'sentbox', 'messages' );

     buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array(
        'position' => 20,
    ), 'starred', 'messages' );

}
 
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'add_settings_subnav_tab', 100 );

to exclude some categories I have tried this:

function exclude_category_slugs_from_activity_stream( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {

	// Only record published posts
	if ( 'publish' !== $new_status ) {
		return;
	}

	// Don't record edits (publish -> publish)
	if ( 'publish' === $old_status ) {
		return;
	}

	// add in any categories to exclue from activity stream, separated by commas, no spaces
	$category_slugs_to_exclude = "news,new,News,service,Service";

	// create the array that contains the category ids to exclude
	$ids_to_exclude = array();
	// create new array by splitting category slugs by comma
	$category_slug_array = split( ",", $category_slugs_to_exclude );
	// iterate over category_slug_array
	foreach ( $category_slug_array as $category ) {
		// get the category id based on the slug
		$idObj = get_category_by_slug( $category );
		$id = $idObj->term_id;
		// push the category id onto the exclude array
		array_push ( $ids_to_exclude, $id );
	}

	// get the post's categories
	$categories = get_the_category( $post->ID );
	$in = false;

	// check if the post has any categories, do nothing if not
	if( count($categories) > 0 ) {
		// iterate over categories
		foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
			// check if any excluded category exists within post's categories
			if( in_array( $category->cat_ID, $ids_to_exclude) )
				$in = true;
		}
	}

	// Don't record posts from filtered categories
	if( $in )
		return;

	return bp_activity_post_type_publish( $post->ID, $post );
}

add_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_blogs_catch_filtered_published_post' );

function bp_blogs_catch_filtered_published_post() {
	if ( bp_is_active( 'blogs' ) ) {
		remove_action( 'transition_post_status', 'bp_activity_catch_transition_post_type_status', 10 );
		add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'exclude_category_slugs_from_activity_stream', 10, 3 );
	}
}

I found here: https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/exclude-auto-blog-posts-from-buddypress-activity-stream

of course I changed the deprecated functions:
bp_blogs_record_post -> bp_activity_post_type_publish
bp_blogs_catch_transition_post_status -> bp_activity_catch_transition_post_type_status

but nothing … not working … HELP!!!

Great plugin; but the online status only display on the blog site… but what i want, is to have have it displayed on both blog and buddypress or better still buddypress only….

Thanks for your help …really appreciated …

Hope you can share more ideas @henrywright

Thank you Henry, I’ve changed that.

I’ve put my full code on github
https://github.com/calliaweb/Moderate-Buddypress-xProfile-Changes/
but I’ll start another thread here asking for feedback on that.

I noticed this message when inspecting css :

http://historielaerer.dk/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/js/vendor/moment-js/locale/da.min.js’%20defer%20onload=’?ver=2.7.2
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Okay, I deactivated every plugin I have, except for BuddyPress and rtMedia. It did not resolve the problem. I can still only upload media from my own activity stream but not from the sitewide activity stream.

I’m at a loss here. I really need to be able to resolve this. I even activated the Twenty Sixteen default theme to make sure it wasn’t a conflict with my theme and no dice.

Why can’t media be uploaded from the sitewide activity stream? Anybody have any ideas?

Please, I’m getting a little desperate here, as I don’t know what else I can do other than deactivate all the other plugins and activate one of the default WordPress themes, which I’ve already done with no resolution. Thanks for any insight you can give!
