BuddyPress.org

The vid explains that adding a bp activity link to a post embeds. Is embedding in the activity native yet?

What the embed scripts? like of the provider.

Would love to make this compatible , especially in the groups https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframely/

Here was my old combo to achieve this. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-oembed-for-buddypress-embedly-oembed-4-bp-all-embedly-content-in-bp-forum-yaaay/

Right, good spot — not sure where got the .html on the end of the URL from. If it’s form a menu or template that BuddyPress generates, let us know which one and I’ll try to figure out this crazyiness. 🙂

If you’re referring to this https://cloudup.com/cmbgottNhQf — yes, that particular autocomplete script is awful (the other at-mention auto-complete used elsewhere throughout a site are better). Sorry. 🙁

I am not sure what you want, however. This autocomplete script is added to the screen via the messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock function. If you look at jquery.autocomplete.js, maybe there’s an option you could use, or initialize it differently.

A different, maybe better approach than the hell that is this 2007-era jquery.autocomplete.js script, is to replace it with the other autocomplete script we use throughout BuddyPress. I forget why we haven’t done it yet; it may just be a lack of time, or perhaps there’s some complexity I’m forgetting as I write this message.

— If this sounds interesting, let me introduce you to what we’re calling BP Nouveau — a replacement for the BP Classic set of templates. It’s not done yet for production use, but take a look at this specific function: https://github.com/buddypress/next-template-packs/blob/master/bp-templates/bp-nouveau/js/buddypress-messages.js#L524

I am 99% sure that unhooking messages_autocomplete_init_jsblock and instead adding a copy of that JS function from BP Nouveau will switch over the auto-complete for the “Send Messages To” field. There may be further tweaks needed to make this work out-of-the-box, but it seems to work well in BP Nouveau, so dig arounds its CSS if something looks off.

Hope this helps

Do widgets work on non-BuddyPress specific pages? Such as, a site footer or sidebar. I am trying to understand if they are broken everywhere or only broken on BuddyPress screens.

If widgets generally do work, have you confirmed that a widget that does work, does NOT show up on the BuddyPress page? If so, what widget is that? (Just need one example).

Please also let us know the names of all active plugins on your site, thanks.

wp_insert_post() takes an array as its first param. post_date is set to the current time by default so something is setting it to 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

If you’re talking about BuddyPress activity items (not WordPress posts) then recorded_time also defaults to the current time. Again, in this case there must be something in your plugin that is setting it to 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

Hi r083r7-

Within the same site, you could write a short code that would render the profile. Outputting profile data is pretty straightforward: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/guides/displaying-extended-profile-fields-on-member-profiles/

One another site, I’m less sure. You’d need BP API or similar, which we’re just now writing.

Check our Bowe Codes for some other useful short codes and examples for your own: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bowe-codes/screenshots/

I really have no idea, but checking the code base, that error is thrown when a field type supports options (like a dropdown or checkbox set) and the data posted at save is unpopulated or is not an array. If you’re familiar with the developer tools in Firefox or Chrome, visit that page and submit the form, then see what the $_POST payload looks like.

Code reference: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field.php#L1074

I can’t see what moving hosts would change here, but the internet is a fragile thing. 🙂

Since it’s theme specific, your best choice is to create a child theme and override that template part when you don’t want to see the image. (There are lots of conditional you can use, like is_buddypress() which returns true on a BP page.)

It’s extremely unlikely that there will be a plugin that changes one aspect of a specific theme.

Which plugin did you use for the 2nd register page ?

WP need for any user, a username, an email and a password. That’s mandatory even if you have 2 or 50 register page.

If you use only BP’s default register page and add a select box where you can choose Teacher or Student, you can afterwards give teachers a role of editor. That’s do able with built-in member_type

Also, depending the role with help of conditionnal field plugin, you can show fields for teachers only, for students only or both.

Another solution would be to add manually the teachers directly from within the admin. Usually, a school has less teachers as students. This shouldn’t be to difficult to add 10 or 20 teachers. This can also be handy as you can give them a lower capability (ie author) and attribute “editor” to only one or two of them, which will be in charge of students registering and dispatching. So in fact, only students have to register from front-end.

Another alternative would be to use what’s described here.

Hi !

BPB was made for BuddyPress, not to fit all existing membership plugins, especilly for premium plugins whose code is not public. If you need a feature related to paid membership pro, you have to ask this plugin author how to do this. I’m the author of BPB, but can’t help you for this. Sorry !

Hi,

this question is not related to BuddyPress as it seems you use Events Manager to let your members add events. Accordingly to plugin’s demo, you’ll probably have such a page.

From what i see on demo, the visual editor is the one used by WordPress. Read on WP Codex how to customize TinyMCE and use wp-editor function.

Maybe you could use this plugin to your advantage ?

Hi @mei-ling,

you have to filter the activity content. See here how to do that:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/filtering-bp_get_activity_content_body-bp_get_activity_secondary_item_id/

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

Getting Started

Hi,

On your Toolbar you have the correct link to the correct register page !
http://www.nyfertility.org/register/ (which is not blank at all !) 😉

Note that WP/BP use mostly php files. Searching for file-name.html brings generally nothing else as blank pages.

When you create a page or use one of BP pages, edit the page and get the permalink (underneath the page title), so you be sure to have the correct path to it.

Other advice ? 🙂 Hum… read the documentation!

Hi,

i would use a cleaner code like what is indicated here.

WP function references
wp_mail_from
wp_mail_from_name

BP function references
bp_core_email_from_name_filter
bp_core_email_from_address_filter

NB: please use the code button when you insert code on this forum.

Hi @shughesd,

for clarification, the first topic author mentionned Trying to find where to edit the text above the fields.
Are you looking for the exact same thing ?
Is register.php in the right folder ? /child/buddypress/members/register.php ?

The only text above the fields when registration is allowed is
Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we\’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.

You have 2 options to edit/modify this string:
– using the language file if you only want to change the text.
– modify it in register.php if you want to change the HTML tag (by default it’s <p>)

Other text above fields is the field title.
This can be changed in fields admin. Dashboard > Users > Profile Fields. Edit the field and change the title to your need.

And finally, which doesn’t need any alteration of a template or language file, you can use one of the 30 action hooks existing in register.php

You can write a function and hook it to the placeholder of your choice. To do this, you add the below functions to bp-custom.php

Example
Add a welcome message at the top of the registration page, above Registering for this site.
And another one below it.

function my_custom_register_msg_title() {
echo '<h2>Welcome on my site !</h2>';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_register_page', 'my_custom_register_msg_title' );

function my_custom_register_message() {
echo '<p>Thank you for registering.</p>';
}
add_action( 'bp_before_account_details_fields', 'my_custom_register_message' );

In hope it helps you to understand the principle of operation on templates.

Hello,

I have the same query and did as instructed- created a buddypress folder in my child them, pasted the registration.php file, and made the changes there. However the changes do not render.

Do I have to do something else with the original register.php page in order for this to work?

Thank you!

Hi,

usually it is because you haven’t established any friendship. Go on a profile or Members Directory, click on Add as Friend.

Back to the group and see if this profile appears on the Invite tab.

Friends → Friendships

If you are in a BP dicovery phase, i recommand you to use BP Default Data plugin. Once activated you will have fake content in all BP active components (users, groups, friendships and so on). So you can see where and who see what.

Thank you for clarification. The screenshot you linked to shows the Followers item with an ID of
members-following-personal-li This belongs to a follower plugin or to a built-in addon of your theme.

As explained, on profile pages it will end with “-personal-li” and on group pages it will end with “-groups-li”. The notification component add “notification”, so you have notifications-personal-li.

The question now is: do you want to change the CSS rule or something in the html (ie. change li to div) ?

If it is the css rule, you do that in your child theme file style.css

#notifications-personal-li {
    // do something
}

If it is the html, you have to work on the notification template, also from within the child.
And if it is a core functionnality – like moving or renaming the item: it’s explained on Codex:

Template overload
Navigation API
