BuddyPress.org

Guess you have to code it completely.

A great and very complete tutorial is Creating Maintainable WordPress Meta Boxes

And here an overview of almost all BP hooks and filters related to meta.

@danbp yeah, sorry about that :). Reason I went a bit further was when working on a theme earlier I was using a function get_displayed_group_id() or something with a similar name. I was expecting a return value but it was echoing no matter where I placed this.

Ended up using a different method.

Just wondered if there were other functions inside BuddyPress that looked like a return value but had output instead.

Maybe it’s me who’s wrong. I haven’t tested, but it’s how i used such a function in the past, called inside another one. I also wrote “something like”, which is very different of “use this”. It’s an example, not the absolute solution! 😉

Let’s wait for Allan’s reaction before continuing this discussion. For the moment, the only important thing related to this post is:

$goal = xprofile_get_field_data( 'Your goal', $user_id );

Function reference.

Have you read this tutorial ?

Note that most of BP custom functions for core are better handled when living in bp-custom.php. Sometimes also, a same function may work from within one file, but not from the other. In other case, which file has no real importance.
Even if in background there is a hierarchy and a load order, to take in account for the file choice.

That said, as it is related to CPT, bp-custom is the best place IMO.

Theme’s functions.php contains functions related to theme, templating and evtl. wp stuff
BP custom functions goes to bp-custom.php

It’s also better for you to have such separated functions.

Inside your theme, make sure there is a file wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php. If there is no file in that location copy this file wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php into the first location.

Then, look at line number 28 – 32 of post-form.php.

From there, you will notice you can change this text for the activity update form which reads “What’s new in “GROUP NAME” if you’re on a group page posting the update or “What’s new USERNAME” if you’re any where else.

So, to swap in a specific profile field you’d need to supply a bit more about the nature of your project and how it’s setup. You could simply drop in some static text, but if you want it to relate to a specific profile field in a dynamic way then please elaborate further.

Hi,
if nothing made sense of what you already read, i doubt i can help you as i would certainly repeat the same things… 😉

Nickname doesn’t exist in WordPress. On a WP install, a new user is only asked for a username(generally it’s a nickname like creatorsite), an email and a password. That’s all!

By convinience, a WP user can add his first and last name to his profile, but it is not an obligation.

When BP is added, he adds a mandatory field called Name which can by filled with first and last name or whatever else. Only the field is mandatory, not the content. And you can change his nale to what you want. Eg. Your dogs name. An other difference for this field is that it let you enter uppercase and space, what the WP username field doesn’t allow. BP use this field to synchronize members from WP and those registered once BP is activated.

Users are handled by WP, not by BP which is only a plugin, btw. both use the same DB user table.

Here a complete description of WP’s database, and read attentively the part related to wp_users.

Nickname = username. Your question is related to username vs. display_name.

Read here for a solution.

ps: your picture mention that nicknames can eliminate a security issue. Which one exactly ? i’m curious to learn how over 200 000 active BP sites are threatened by hackers seaking for usernames in 2016 !

Read and learn from here:

Post Types Activities

Installation in WordPress Multisite

If you’re sepaking about the Group directory page, yes !

# of columns can be defined by CSS. For other details, read here

You need also a child-theme to do customization.

Codex is your friend. 😉

What is your BP version ? Have you tried to use the email repair tool ?

New user activation emails not coming

Hi @angrygerman

FYI

will the buddypress be compatible with php7?

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/search?q=php7&noquickjump=1&changeset=on&milestone=on&ticket=on&wiki=on

Has there been any update on this, i.e. is BuddyPress fully compatible with PHP 7 at this point?

hi @ljmac,

Usage example (sorry if i’m wrong) of the filter inside a function

@passiondigitalpublishing – We’ve confirmed this is a bug and have a fix ready for v2.6.2:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7173

In the meantime, you can manually fix this issue by patching bp-members/bp-members-functions.php:

Hi,

please open a ticket for this on Trac if you expect a quick advice. Login by using same credentials as here.

Hi @omdisa7

See this topic if it can help you:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/notification-is-created-but-cant-list-it-for-the-user/

I can’t speak for Paid Memberships Pro because I haven’t used that plugin but it can’t be done with BuddyPress out-of-the-box. You would need to find a plugin.

hi @javierllinas

You can use something like this (add to bp-custom.php or child theme’s functions.php)

BuddyPress usermenu usage: remove_node(‘$id-$nav-$subnav’)

/* remove items from Toolbar Usermenu (top-right) */
function bpex_admin_bar_remove_this(){
global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-forums-favorites');
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-messages-starred');
        // etc...
}
add_action('wp_before_admin_bar_render','bpex_admin_bar_remove_this');

Reference

Merci @imath !

The old way

The following syntax to change the tab order is deprecated since 2.6 and will throw an error notice:

function rt_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;
$bp->bp_nav['profile']['position'] = 10;
$bp->bp_nav['activity']['position'] = 20;
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'rt_change_profile_tab_order', 999 );

The new way

Now the correct syntax to use for modifying – since 2.6 – the tabs position on the buddybar when you’re on a profile.

This example list all BP related items who appear by default on a profile nav, in order of appearance and include also the forum tab (if you use bbPress for group forums).
By default, activity tab comes as 1st. The snippet will move it to 4th position.

To modify a position you simply change the numeric value.
If you want to move only one item, you remove or comment (add // at begin of the line) the ones you don’t want to move.

function bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position() {
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 4,	), 'activity' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 5, 	), 'profile' 		); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 7, 	), 'notifications'	); 
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 9,	), 'messages' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 2,	), 'friends' 	  	);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 6,	), 'groups' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 3, 	), 'forums' 		);
	buddypress()->members->nav->edit_nav( array( 'position' => 1, 	), 'settings' 		);
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpex_primary_nav_tabs_position', 999 );

That’s it for the buddybar nav menu order on profile.
