BuddyPress.org

hi @fencer04,

thank for sharing your work. Well done, but it needs some revision (sorry).
At his activation on 2 test sites (one with 4.5.3/bp 2.6.1, other 4.6/bp2.6.2) i got a notice.
Array to string conversion in buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-core-nav.php on line 279from

sbpp04_privacy_check( )	..\plugin.php:525
sbpp04_privacy_redirect( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:176
bp_core_remove_nav_item( )	..\buddypress-profile-privacy.php:184
BP_Core_Nav->delete_nav( )	..\bp-core-buddybar.php:798

Another point concerning UI/UX is the Private button appearing on buddybar.
On this tab, a default message says Friends Only.
USERNAME has chosen to limit profile access to friends only.
That’s wrong! Because this appear on each profile, even if the owner hasn’t setup anything about his profile privacy.

So far i understand its fonctionality, this plugin let each member decide to show or not his whole profile page to friends or members only or to everyone (bp default).

– imo this tab should show “This profile is private” to anybody who is concerned by a privacy setting and should not appear at all if “Everyone” is set.
– the original BP Add as friend button on profile header or members directory is still there. This means that there is no need to go on Private tab to ask forfriendship.
This is a little confusing !

If the plugin is to extend profile settings, it should appear in profile settings only. And as it doesn’t superseed BP, there is no real reason to give him an extra tab on buddybar outside of the settings scope. A template notice could be enough to tell visitors what’s going on on such a profile.

Just my 2 cents.

@fazla,

this plugin may do that

Conditional Profile Fields for BuddyPress

That’s documented here:

Navigation API

@jendam As of #6573, you’ll need to add custom CSS to tweak the appearance.
Read https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6573#comment:4

The ticket is closed as invalid.

you need to follow the steps i have mentioned in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/exporting-and-importing-user-data-to-a-new-site-2/

Closing in favour of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/import-xprofile-csv/, which the most recent responder also posted. (This thread was 4 months old prior to this last post).

You don’t need to post basically the same thing three times. Closing in favour of https://buddypress.org/support/topic/import-xprofile-csv/

Perhaps the closing php tag after endwhile. Remove ?>

<?php endwhile;
	// User filtering.
	$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id()
		? bp_displayed_user_id()
		: false;

Note that you’re hacking a core file and that customization will be lost at next bp update.
Never do that.
That said i doubt that your like button will work on BP activities. That button is made for wordpress, not BP.
Try better this plugin which is more appropriate imho.

Hello @mairaj
I’m having quite a time trying to find the solution for importing the user’s data (specifically Buddypress extended data) and it looks like you had some success. Would you mind walking me through your process?

Also, I had similar problems logging into the dashboard after a user import – turns out my earlier attempt reset the “regsistered” COL and password. I figured it out in phpMyAdmin.

Thank you for any help!

That’s a Firebug question, but not important anyway. Also, there is no need to use all rules, as they are handled by the original CSS. You declare only the part you want to modify for .label

Open /child-theme/style.css and add only this: (#xyz123 is the color hex you want to use)

#buddypress table.profile-fields tr td.label,{
   background-color: #xyz123!important;
   color: #xyz123!important;
}

Please don’t double post on this forum.

You activated BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin and got a fatal error. Remove it or rename his folder via FTP, so you can access your dashboard again.

Then contact the plugin author.
Since 2.6, BP use a new navigation API. Maybe the plugin isn’t updated for that or there is another conflict with your theme.

You have to debug.
And read also here please.

You may want to look at creating member types. Then you could add the meta as a div class and style them via css:

If you don’t have the ability to code or hire someone that does you may want to try some of the member type plugins out there:

BuddyPress Member Types

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.

If you want to keep the activity updates, and add a separate form for recipes, you will probably need to explore Custom Post Types. You’ll need to register a post type called Recipes.

These might help:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-custom-post-types-in-wordpress/

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:
