Topic: Blocking some logged-in users from accessing buddypress altogether

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

goofydoo

I’m wondering if we can block some logged-in users from accessing BP entirely based on user role, or any other means?

I use WooCommerce Subscription extension and it assigns users with an inactive subscription to Customer user role . So I’m hoping to block these users from accessing BP altogether.

Thank you.

Topic: Updates not displaying details, only that update was made

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

Hi – My activity updates are not displaying properly. Instead of the actual update “Hello World” it will only state the fact “Bob made an update” in all places the update details should display: member profile, group page, sitewide activity page.

I am using:
Wordpress 4.9.1
Theme Kleo by Seventh Queen 4.2.12
Buddypress 2.9.2
Also, BuddyPress Activity Short Code by BuddyDev 1.1.1

All my groups are Public Groups (not Private) in case that makes a difference.

I am still in development mode, so not yet launched. My Buddypress was working perfectly until I migrated my site to a different URL and perhaps some code got changed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to how to get the full activity update details to display everywhere instead of just the statement of the update?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

I’m not able to register new users with BuddyPress. Could this be a subdomain issue.
I’m using a subdomain to develop my site group.ag2link.com .

in group forum Installing BuddyPress

I currently used this method first, which wasn’t working for me:

$bp->bp_nav['settings'] = false;

Then I used this snippet instead, which happened to work, but unfortunately removed the nav items from my main menu as well instead of just the BuddyPress profile fields:
```
function my_remove_em_nav() {
	global $bp;
      bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'settings' );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'my_remove_em_nav' );
```
Any idea on how to make it so it only removes the items from the profile fields rather than all the nav menus in general?

To clarify: I do not want to overload my current WordPress theme anymore. I just want to use the standard BuddyPress template located in the plugin directory. All natively!

If I delete the folders “/community” or “/members” for example in my WordPress theme directory or delete the functions of BuddyPress in my theme’s functions.php, the website crashes unfortunately.

Thanks!

Hey folks,

first of all thank you for this great community plugin! It helped me a lot to realize projects.

I really need to update my very old BuddyPress installation on a website!.

The site still uses a very old method to copy template files from BuddyPress into the Theme directory and load them over. I use a custom theme.

I would like to do a fresh installation of BuddyPress with it’s standard template. Of course with all current database entries, such as activites, members, profile fields – it’d be terrible if they were lost!

Does a WordPress theme generally need to be made “BuddyPress compatible” in any way?

I already tried to delete the template files in my WordPress theme directory, but unfortunately the website crashes with a “white screen”.

WordPress: 4.9.1
BuddyPress: 2.9.2

Big thanks for your help and a happy new year!

Regards
Malte

Topic: Custom links for BuddyPress related profile fields.

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

I am looking to create custom BuddyPress profile sections. I have the sections created within my BuddyPress menu but it is the individual links I am having issues with. When I go to my menu and type the custom links, I am using something along the lines of

http:websitelink.com/members/seanb/media/photos

I tried replacing my name “seanb” with both “%USERNAME%” and “MEMBER_NAME” but neither seem to work. I have done this before but am having some trouble re-figuring it out. I am looking for a general username to use so the link is universal and will go to that specific users photos when visiting their profile page when they click that tab.

Topic: Import memberlist in Excel into Buddypress and more…

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

I’m going to install Buddypress for an client and he asked if I could import their memberslist (over 800 members so far) it’s in excel.
Today my client have 2 sets of the memberlist, one in excel that they use and the company that sends out the reminder letters to those who haven’t paid the membership fee.
They wan’t to import the excel file into Buddypress so he don’t need to register one and one.

The second issue is that he want if an member doesn’t pay the membership once a year (reminder sent out from an company which is not part of a buddypress, it’s a separate system that we do not have access to) the member can’t login in.

Is this possible, is there plugins, codes etc if it’s so please guide me.

English isn’t my first language so I hope you understand what I’m asking after.

I truly do thank-you for all of this! It’s pointing me in the right direction for what I want to accomplish. I feel like I just need a better understanding of the infrastructure of WordPress, and how BuddyPress works together with it. And you are right, there are endless amounts of options!I’m just stuck on how i would customize the X theme to how i would want it. I would rather do all of this in the beginning by myself, and hire a developer if need be down the road.

– If the plugin conflicts with the theme how would one go about fixing that?
– How would I begin to customize the CSS of the activity streams for users? Where would most of this customizing be taking place? In other words, how would I add the custom CSS to the site?

These would be huge for me to know

Hey Frank, I guess the best question to ask you after all this is how comfortable are you with digging into or working with html, css and basic php?

If a pre made theme is what your looking for, how comfortable are you with taking hours and days looking thru theme demos to find your golden pony or at least making child themes or customizing code?

And then to answer you more specifically to your “How long would it take to develop a theme like the one I described?” , I guess that just depends really. Over the years I have accumulated many libraries of code and theme snippets and I know where everything is in WP/BP core and template files. So for me, A fully custom and dressed out theme might take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks if I know exactly what I am working towards at the beginning and have a clear, though out, planned out idea. If I hen peck it or free hand it” like I do from time to time” It may take a day or it might take 8 months, lol.

As a bit of comfort to your quandary, everything you asked for in your opening inquiry is all ready done for you in BuddyPress “for the most part”. A theme like the one you describe sounds like a 3 day to 1 week job to me. Keep in mind however that with me saying that, things always have a way changing and evolving into monsters, lol.

So lets break down your theme and see how it look on paper…. He He, my favorite part…

1. I want users to come to my site, register, and log in…… (Its all ready there) just have to set it up to your liking. It can all be customized quite a bit as well.

2. I would love to be able to customize the way these pages look!(background image, logo, and content inside them)……… (The logo, background and most of the design items are easy breezy as long as your ok with basic html and css and not looking for flying dragons and wizards shooting lightning bolts across the screen. Alas, even those can be done with css, flash and JS, lol. )

3. I’m not looking for a full-blown social media site (yet)…….No need to have what you dont want to use. BP has a full host of controls to limit what can be done onsite by users or what is implemented frontend in its settings. WP Dash/settings/buddypress. Select what you want to use. You also have the ability to write functions, and use hooks and actions and filters to limit or build on anything you like.

4. I want to build a site that where users can log in, create a “blog” excerpt with media …… There are several ways to do this in buddypress, just have to plan it out and test the methods and see what works for you. Mu, Activity and Groups/Forums.

5. They should also be able to put a location tag on it. ….. it sounds like this is what x-profile fields are good for. Just create your custom location field and add it with a template tag in the loop you want to use it in. They fill out the filed on their profile page and it will display in that loop.

6. When they post it, the only people I want to see that are the people they added as friends or if they have their profile set to public……BuddyPress frontend “user profile area” has a settings tab, under it are quite a few privacy features, not fully comprehensive in my opinion but there are a few plugins that add on to this and you can code it in as well. either way. Easy task.

7. And when it shows up on their friend’s news feed it should just show a featured image, title, and the beginning of their text with a like counter….. Easy enough, just write the loop that way, lol. Easy to do.

8. When their friends click on that post it brings them to the full blog post, not just the featured image. Their friends can favorite the content or comment on it. …..The natural behavior of WP and BP posts so we are good there.

9. On a users profile, I would like to show their recent posts, and posts they’ve favorited…. Thats what the friends tab shows but you can add custom queries, and stuff and otherwise tear it apart and pick it of the pieces you want and use them in other places to make custom loops and queries and all kinds of goodness, lol. As long as you make sure things are firing in the right places and make sure certain things are in the loops where they belong, No worries.

10. Site homepage is basically just a file called front-page.php. Copy the page.php from the theme root and then customize the heck out it. Work it up however you like.

As far as the themes go, I never use premade themes. I do however make full use of the libraries of code I have accumulated, (_s) and bootstrap for a lot of my work. Cheesy I know but hey, it saves me time and money and gives me freedom. I rarely find the need to actually make a complete custom theme or write much in the way of custom code from scratch anymore. And I certainly never purchase any themes. So I am not the best person to ask about themes really. I know that there are tons of themes that do all kinds of stuff available around the web. Just have to give them the litmus test and see if they fit your project.

Let me know if you have any other questions or what have you. I will be around.

Ofcourse you could also go to…

And select “profile” from the “buddypress” menu options on the left, if you do not see any buddypress links you should click the “screen options” on right top of page and select buddypress.

In reply to: How can I show new activity for groups, per member

leog371
Participant

Well, dont know if this is what you need but from what I gather, I would say you need to add some template files to your theme to do that. Its not hard. But Since I dont know that theme, The first question would be… does that theme have a “/buddypress” directory in it? If not you would probably want to make one first.

This is where you would do the work. BuddyPress will look for template files there first. You would want to create template files for the parts of the theme that you want to change or re-arrange. Both of those features are all ready built into BuddyPress. If you look at the template files in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/ you can find all of your ideas and code parts or starter code there from those files.

You can copy over those files to your themes buddypress directory and break them down, tear them up or what ever you want to do with them there. I sometimes do it just to take code snippets and work with them.

Anyways, if you find the files that have the functionality you want on them, just take them and use them to create a new template or widget or whatever you need. Its not hard.

Hi ya,
I’m new to BuddyPress.
WP 4.9.1
BP 2.9.2
http://crew.nzin2020.stormin.nz

I’m looking to get BuddyPress as close to Facebook as I can. Well, largely.

At the moment, the thing I’m trying to find is how to show what new notifications there are since a member last looked at a new activity list. And ideally be able to show a list of groups the user belongs to, and a little number with how many new posts/notifications there are.

I’ve been searching around for a few days now for how to do this.

I feel like this is probably standard and easy, but I just can’t see how to do it…

Always glad to be pointed to links of course.

Thanks for any insight!

Hmmm, Generally I say if you want to hack a theme, just make your own. Of course you could always make a quick little child theme for theme x and that would be perfectly fine, but hacking into the themes files wouldn’t be recommended. If they were to update the theme all your changes would probably be wiped out.

As far as tutorials and theme development stuff goes for BuddyPress, simply google it. There are a lot of sites and pages on the subject. You do have to be aware that a lot of the tutorials out there are older and are using depreciated code snips and tags. You just have to study the codex and find relevant items, understand how to break files down and get a good handle on template parts and css. BuddyPress does have some hard coded functions that make certain filters, hooks and actions fire before or after certain template items. Not sure why they do that but it just means you might want to look into hooks, filters and actions, lol. Also be aware of the switch cases. They can be fun to play with. It can be over whelming at first but everyone I have ever taught to build themes picked it up quick and most on their own.

Thank you for the reassurance! I’m glad to hear all of that. Is there any tutorials or pages you recommend for the breakdown of BuddyPress and CSS / Template files? And I’ve been looking into coding my own theme, looks promising. Would X theme be a good choice for me so I can customize the way everything looks in their root files?

Everything your hoping for is well within the capabilities of Buddypress. It can be as simple or as complex as you make it. If your going to use a theme, remember that you would be locked into what that theme is setup to do for the most part.
With that said, depending upon your ability with code and all, its all pretty easy to do yourself. Buddypress itself is really easy to get around and work with in the template files and the php is really quite easy for most things. If you have no html, css or php skills though, it could be kind of tuff.

For what your asking for I would simply code out my own theme for it. Or simply hire someone to do it for you.

Almost, but you went one to far. Your target to put the file is in the plugins directory directly. not the buddypress plugin directory so the end would be

wp-content/plugins/ then add file here “bp-custom.php”

Basically in the root of the plugins directory
