BuddyPress.org

@rvnamb if you aren’t looking to do programming you may want to check out some of the plugins here. https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/recipes Some of them seem to integrate with Buddypress

Then add it to the activity stream as a registered activity:

Post Types Activities

Users would need to use the dashboard to create a recipe update in this model, unless you created a front end recipe posting system using something like Gravity Forms:

https://gravitywiz.com/use-gravity-forms-to-create-user-submitted-posts/

I have to break this up into separate posts because I don’t think the BP forum wants me to include so many links:

If you want to replace the activity post with recipes instead (eliminating the default ‘activity’) you could change the label of activity to “recipes” using this guide from the codex:

Change “Activity” component’s name and slug to something else.

It is not going to their spam either…. Just not emails going out. I notice the weird two Pending list when i go to the users page which I do believe is the reason.

Now I am just unsure why it would be showing two.. If I deactive the bbpress plugin things go back to one pending list and all work’s ok.

Once I reactive Buddypress. Things stop working as JT first described

I have the same issue … using the latest bbpress 2.6.2 along with latest wp install and using GameDayTheme.

Having issues with pending users list……

I am currently using the GameDay theme and after installing buddypress I now have two pending lists when I go to my users. this is causing issues with my registration process. I tried switching themese and still have pending link show up twice.

I have attached a screenshot here.

I also have deactived all other plugins except buddy press.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction as to what would be the cause here ?

Many thanks in advance

FYI i am using the lastest wp and 2.62 buddypress

Unless they have an add-on to support BuddyPress, you’re out of luck (unless you write one yourself).

You could hook into the bp_activity_add action like this:

function bp_plugin_hook_activity_add( $activity ) {
 
    // insert code to be executed when activity is created
    // read the link below for more code examples
 
}
 
add_action( 'bp_activity_add', 'bp_plugin_hook_activity_add', 10, 1 );

You can access the activity variables like this:

$activity[‘type’] or $activity[‘content’]

you should be able to use any of the keys below:

id
action
content
component
type
primary_link
user_id
item_id
secondary_item_id
recorded_time
hide_sitewide
is_spam

As you have established that this is a WordPress issue, and not a BuddyPress one, you might be better to create a ticket over on wordpress.org, where there are more eyes looking at your ticket.

You could use something like this to add a badge to admin/verified users.

Did you try this code snippet from the BP codex: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/guides/change-members-profile-landing-tab/

It does exactly what you are looking for.

The Notifications %s string looks like it is available:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/2.6.1.1/buddypress.pot

If you’re using a custom translation from a previous version, you need to merge your language files together. Here’s a quick tutorial I found on Google:
http://www.marketpressthemes.com/blog/how-to-merge-two-po-files-using-poedit/

You might also benefit from a translation that is already available here:

I see that BuddyPress has a REST API now that can access BuddyPress data from a URL.

BuddyPress is in its early stages of developing the REST API. It’s not close for production usage yet. Follow development here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST

It would be great if I could just add a URL somewhere in the settings and have data get pulled in.

You will need to do some custom development here.

If your CRM is CiviCRM, there is a BuddyPress plugin that syncs with that. If your CRM is something else, you could take a look at the codebase and modify it to suit your needs:
https://github.com/christianwach/civicrm-wp-member-sync

I don’t believe this is a BuddyPress issue. When you change your permalinks, are you able to visit a regular WP post permalink? If not, it’s a WordPress issue.

I would say make sure your server is able to write to the .htaccess file.

Also, you might have to alter your .htaccess file to add the following to the top of the file:

Options +FollowSymlinks

I’m sorry, groups_is_user_admin() is the wrong function, you need something more like this current_user_can('editor') || current_user_can('administrator'). That needs to be wrapped in an IF statement.

You would put that in your-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php.

Use the Group Extension API. Bit of a learning curve, but powerful once you get it.

This is a similar problem https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-stop-topic-creation-for-groups/

I believe this is the default functionality of a BuddyPress powered site.

Your theme may be hijacking this, I’d look in the theme files first for a template.

First you are creating a custom function called automatic_group_membership() this takes one parameter $user_id.

This function terminates if there is no $user_id provided, meaning you don’t run rogue code and your site is more optimised.

When a $user_id is present the groups_accept_invite() function is run. This function is a BuddyPress core function you can find it in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-functions.php on line 1400.

It accepts two parameters a $user_id and a $group_id. You need both in order to create the relationship.

This function is “hooked” with add_action() which is a WordPress core function. This function add_action() has many hooks available for various situations. You can read more about hooks here https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks.

Essentially it’s an opportunity to run your own code against WordPress core, or in this case BuddyPress core. BuddyPress provides the hook and we use them to achieve cool things.

So the hook in this case is bp_core_activated_user and the code we want to run when this hook is available would be the customer function automatic_group_membership which is passed as a second parameter.

I’m not sure where the $user_id gets populated along the way here, nor the $group_id maybe someone can help?

Otherwise, I would do this not on activation but when a user has logged in for the first time.

Then we have access to global $bp which contains a loggedin_user->id which can be used with this function and you could manually set the $group_id in bp-custom.php

Don’t know if it will work with your theme but you may want to look at the code snippets here
