BuddyPress.org

Read again ! It’s explained here:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/visual-editor-for-writing-messages/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/add-tinymce-to-activity-post-form/

The Home tab is the default one. If you remove that tab, BP has no way to know where to output the other group tabs content. If you remove Home(aka activity) you should define another landing tab.

But when you want to modify groups, you shouldn’t define ‘profile’, but ‘groups’. (read what you wrote!)
For the profile landing tab, see this codex page.

For groups, you can try this snippet. This let you define a different landing tab for each of your groups (not profile, ok ?). 😉

function bpfr_custom_group_default_tab($default_tab){
	/**
	 * class_exists() is recommanded to avoid problems during updates 
	 * or when Groups Component is deactivated
	 */
	if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) ) : // 
	
	$group=groups_get_current_group();//get the current group
	
	if(empty($group))
	return $default_tab;
	
	switch($group->slug){
		
		case 'kill-bill': // group name (use slug format)
		$default_tab='forum';
		break;
		
		case 'groupe-2014':
		$default_tab='members';
		break;
		
		default:		
		$default_tab='home';// the original default landing tab
		break;
		
	}
	
	return $default_tab;
	
	endif; // end if ( class_exists( 'BP_Group_Extension' ) )
}
add_filter('bp_groups_default_extension','bpfr_custom_group_default_tab');

Global.js is related to BP Default theme which is no more used since 1.9.
The “new” js you can check for comment count is \buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\js\buddypress.js:667

I don’t know how the default 5 count is set before firing Show all X comments link. But i haven’t read very attentively the whole js file.

If your goal is to gain some place on activity feeds, you may use a show/hide comment button ?

function add_comment_hide_show() {
?>
<style>
.single-group .activity-comments ul{display: none;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($) {
	setInterval(function() {
		$('.activity-meta').each(function() {
			if( !$(this).find('.show-comments').length ){
				var html = '<a href="#" class="button bp-primary-action show-comments">Show/Hide Comments</a>';
				$(this).find('.button.acomment-reply').after(html);
			}
		});
		
	}, 500);
	
	$('body').on('click', '.show-comments', function(e) {
		e.preventDefault();
		var obj = $(this).closest('.activity-content').next('.activity-comments').find('ul');
		obj.slideToggle();
		return false;
	});
	
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'add_comment_hide_show' );

Or if you want to limit the number of comment a member can leave on activities, BPDEVEL has a premium plugin called BP Rate Limit User Activity which can do that.

On Trac, some very old tickets about comments: #2768, #1870

Perhaps @dcavins can tell you more about this ?

‘danbp’ your codes work great!
One thing, though, since I removed the ‘home’ item in groups, now if I create a private group or click on a public group icon, the group page will not be available!
I think it is because the ‘home’ item has remained as the default page for the group pages!? I changed my profile default page with ‘define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );’ but it seems for changing group default tab story is different, so I used code suggested here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/

But still no success!?

Hi there-

Yes, 2.6.1 (and 2.6.1.1) have a conflict with BP Group Hierarchy. The problem is caused by the addition of the autoloader check in bp-loader.php because BPGH instantiates its class before BP knows if the groups component is active or not. The short term fix is, unhappily, to change bp-loader.php. Comment out the line that reads return (add a // before return) here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/src/bp-loader.php#L621

No, not for the moment. We’re handling here about profile and group nav, not about Group or Member Directory nav.

If you have a snippet who works for the Directory, feel free to add it to the Nav Api examples. Codex Contributors are always welcome.

@socialc, since 2.6 and the new Nav API, there is a much simplier possibility as the translation file to change nav item names.

@marcono, try this; not sure you learned, below snippet is on Nav API examples i indicated previously. 😉

function bpcodex_rename_group_tabs() {

    if ( ! bp_is_group() ) {
        return;
    }
   
    buddypress()->groups->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'Group Discussion', 'buddypress' ) ), 'forum', bp_current_item() );
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_rename_group_tabs' );

function bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs() {
 
      buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'My Buddy Forums', 'textdomain' ) ), 'forums' );
      buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'name' => __( 'My Buddy Groups', 'textdomain' ) ), 'groups' );
 
}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpcodex_rename_profile_tabs' );

@marcono you might want to read this page and consider making a translation file of your own.

Make sure you have pretty permalinks enabled on your WordPress install. (whatever except default) and save.

And check your install again.
Ray’s script is not a bug tracker, it gives only information about global variables which is usefull when you want to debug a custom script. If you seek for bugs – rarely the case on a new install -, activate wp_debug in wp-config.php

Configure BuddyPress

… or just add a login link to your site anywhere in your theme files. e.g <a href="<?php echo wp_login_url(bp_loggedin_user_domain()); ?>"><?php _e('Login', 'buddypress'); ?></a>.

This will redirect a user to their profile page after logging in.

Maybe Slava is busy ! Try to contact him on BuddyPress Slack or Twitter (@slaFFik).

[MOD] Topic moved to a more appropriate forum.

The following plugins/widget are generating these error messages.

bp-edit-group-slug

BP_Toplevel_Groups_Widget

BP_Group_Navigator_Widget

bp-group-email

bp-group-hierarchy

You have to contact their authors via plugin support on WP repo.

and on your side:

The first step to getting rid of those Notices is identifying the source, so:
– switch momentarily to a WP theme like 2016 and see if any persist
– turn off plugins one at a time and see if any persist

About the bbPress notice (bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly), read here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10709/

bbp_setup_current_user was called incorrectly

It’s the same principle, but not the same syntax since 2.6

To hide tabs on groups, you need to specify the component. Note that all menu items (nav and subnav items) are considered as sub-nav, they have not the same distinction as on member or activity menus.

Use another function for groups. Try this.

function bpex_remove_group_tabs() {  

	if ( ! bp_is_group() ) {
		return;
	}

	$slug = bp_get_current_group_slug();

		// hide items to all users except site admin
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {

	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'members' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'send-invites' );
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'admin' );
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $slug, 'forum' );
	}

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpex_remove_group_tabs' );

To get more usage examples, see here:

Navigation API

When you copy/paste code you do not really control, try at least the original one first before adding wrong things to it.

For the redirect link, use this syntax:

return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) .'/mypics';

And please don’t double post. It’s annoying.

Do you mean also that members can’t access to their profile settings when they are on their profile page ?

The BP usermenu on the Toolbar, under Howdy (top right) mimics the usermenu of the BuddyBar which is on each profile.

Have you enabled Extended Profiles ?

Or use this snippet to login redirect your users to their profile.

ps: i removed your site url as it is locked to public – which doesn’t help no one to help you.

hi @earl_d,

add this snippet to bp-custom.php and give it a try.

function bpex_redirect_to_profile( $redirect_to_calculated, $redirect_url_specified, $user ){
 
    if( empty( $redirect_to_calculated ) )
        $redirect_to_calculated = admin_url();
 
    // redirect logged in to his/her profile - except site admins
 
    if( isset( $user->ID) && ! is_super_admin( $user->ID ) )
        return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID );
    else
        return $redirect_to_calculated; /* nada !*/
 
}
add_filter( 'bp_login_redirect', 'bpex_redirect_to_profile', 11, 3 );

For the redirect URL error you mentionned here, use:

return bp_core_get_user_domain( $user->ID ) .'/mypics';

mypics is a slug, not a constant ( $user->ID ) .mypics

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php and give it a try.

function bpex_hide_profile_menu_tabs() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() && !bp_is_my_profile() ) {
	//	BP's profile main menu items. Comment those to show.
	//	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'profile' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
	//	exist only if you use bbPress
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' ); 

	//	BP's profile main menu items. Comment those to show.
	//	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'personnal' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'mentions' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'favorites' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'friends' );
		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'groups' );
	}
	endif;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_hide_profile_menu_tabs', 15 );

BP files are very well commented actually. But reading through hundreds of files is not easy. Here a good ressource to find a function, hook by keywords. Still interesting even if related to BP 2.4.3
Test and search for get_ to have an idea !
