BuddyPress.org

The function tells gettext() to change a string to another. It use a switch called $original_string. If not explicit enough, this means the original phrase or words you want to modify. You see it near ‘case’. And right of return, you can put your words.
The present example use only one case. But you can add more. (See php switch)

function abcd_gettext( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {

    if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
           return $translated;

    switch ( $original_text ) {
        case 'STING YOU WANT TO MODIFY':
            return 'MODIFIED STRING';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'abcd_gettext', 20, 3 );

IMPORTANT

Why to use po/mo if this kind of function can be used ?

– because po/mo is much faster as only loaded once.
– using this function force gettext to recalculate all strings one by one at each string load. Imagine what will happen on your server if you translate all 1970(BP2.6) BP’s string like this!
– this function can be handy only in case you need to change a few words. I wouldn’t use it for more as 10 strings.
– it’s also handy if you already use a mo file, but need temporary a different word/string.

So you’re warned. Best practice to change strings is to use po/mo files. See codex for details.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/ works for me

@dono12,

when the cover image option is enabled, BP use cover-image-header.php not member-header.

To get your idea to work, you need a function to calculate who is online and to add a class to the exiting div. Depending the result, we can then add an online or an offline class.
And of course, some css rules.

The function to add this class to the div with an action hook.
Add it to bp-custom.php

function check_connected(){

   $last_activity = bp_get_user_last_activity( bp_displayed_user_id() );

   $curr_time = time(); 

   $diff = $curr_time - strtotime( $last_activity );

   $time = 5 * 60;  // = 3mn - time must be in seconds

if( $diff < $time ) { 
   echo 'online';
     } else {
   echo 'offline';
   }
}
add_action( 'online_class', 'check_connected' );

Now you just have to add the hook to the template. Open from within child-theme, /buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php
Go to line 25, and change
<div id="item-header-avatar">
to
<div id="item-header-avatar" class="<?php do_action( 'online_class' ); ?>">

Open /child-theme/style.css and add:

div.online img {
    border: solid 2px #008000!important;
    background: rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0.8 )!important;
}

div.offline img {
    border: solid 2px #be3631!important;
    background: rgba( 255, 255, 255, 0.8 )!important;
}

And voila, you’re done !

Note: you can use the same hook in member-header.php, so you can enable/disable cover-image without loosing the on/offline layout on profile header avatar.

That screen isn’t provided by BuddyPress. It’s something provided by another plugin, or perhaps within the theme. Can you identify which one?

this should fix it for u

Customizing BuddyPress Avatars

@sjoerdlagraauw as r-a-y mentions test this version of bp

BuddyPress 2.6.0 Release Candidate 1 now available for testing

regarding @mention as danbp suggested its not a bp issue. i checked this myself. its working in default 2016 theme of wp. but NOT working for other paid themes i have.

mostly paid themes or custom themes use their own jss/css stuff in their own custom manner which creates an issue.

if you got jss/css issues best of be asked at the custom themes support

check this

Post Types Activities

Add custom filters to loops and enjoy them within your plugin

Just to make sure I understand. Is it a theme problem of will it be solved in the next update of Buddypress @sharmavishal, @r-a-y and @danbp? Cause there are some other issues with ajax in this theme as well.

I am in no hurrie so if it will be solved next week that would save me a lot of searching and debugging 😉

Thanks for all the help!

it’s explained above !
Another solution here:

Hide All Members Tag

I am curious how to achieve this as well with the current version of BuddyPress (2.5.3).

I can see that the “Create an Account” title in on line 3070 of bp-core-template.php

How could I change this to “Register” through a hook/filter in functions.php or bp-custom.php?

That plugin create field types. You asked for how to create a CV with BuddyPress. Basically, such a feature use a text-area field type. 🙂

Check out this codex page:
https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/#customize-header

By default these buttons are showing on the profile header.
The action location is defined in
/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php:66
/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/cover-image-header.php:45

When Profile Cover option is enabled (see bp settings), BP use the cove-image-header file.
If the option is disabled, he use member-header.

In both case, these buttons need the displayed_user_id and the loggedin_user_id to work. This means you need to be at least in the member loop.

You want these buttons to appear elsewhere. OK. But where exactly ?
Don’t hesitate to provide a screenshot sketching the new place.

Add a a new field group to profiles, call it CV, add some fields and options and you’re done.

User Extended Profiles

As you certainly want to get this part a bit apart of the other profile fields, you can also use this plugin who brings a nice tabbed profile page.

Error message can be changed to whatever by using the language file (even if your site use en_Us or en_GB…).

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

I made some changes on BuddyPress theme

– if don’t show what you did, how could it be possible to help you ?

Revert back step by step to find what you did wrong.

@bryanbatcher,

you can use a function within bp-custom.php
Something like:

function bpfr_remove_nav_tabs() {

	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' ); 
   // and so on for each item you want to remove

}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_remove_nav_tabs', 15 );

nav-item
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/2.4.3/functions/bp_core_remove_nav_item/
sub-nav-item

bp_core_remove_subnav_item

For the header thing, see template file and made your modification from within a child-theme.
– profile pic and username: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/member-header.php
– cover image: bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile.php

Group Extension API only works for groups. Andrew is asking about member navigation.

There is currently no member extension API.

Check out the bp_core_new_nav_item() and bp_core_new_subnav_item() functions in bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.6.0-rc1/src/bp-core/bp-core-buddybar.php?marks=15-38,369-399#L15

You’d want to register your navs on the 'bp_setup_nav' hook.

eg.

function my_custom_bp_nav() {
	// Fill this in from the documentation.
	$nav_args = array();

	// Add nav.
	bp_core_new_nav_item( $nav_args );

	// If you need to add another nav, copy and paste the block above and paste here.
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'my_custom_bp_nav' );

Check out this older example on the codex as well:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/core/bp_core_new_nav_item/

Depending on your requirements, you could also use the BP Skeleton Component:
https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-skeleton-component

However, that might be too much for what you need.
