BuddyPress.org

Go to buddypress settings and in the pages section assign the pages

No I meant your theme supports buddypress? Try with 2016 theme to see if it happens or not

How did you install buddupress? This is a custom theme right? You see activity page in your pages? In settings-buddypress have you activated activity component? Have you associated your activity page in the pages setting of buddypress?

@emeraldcity,

i suppose you already read the codex, thousand of topics and of course, that you have some php knowledge. 🙂

Groups
Add following conditionnal to the what’s new form of the group activity page.

bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' )

To do this, you need a child-theme and to overload the template file. The original file is here:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/post-form.php
Copy it to child to get:
wp-content/themes/child-theme-name/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

Members
See if these plugins can be usefull.
Geo myWP or one or the other of @shanebp ‘s Geo plugins.

Sorry for my english…
I can show everything about Music CPT buddypress activity (site-wide and members activity) with below code by @imath -also thanks for all other plugings 🙂 –

My Question or Problem.

I am using types tools pluging and i have a – frontend – add new music form (about music CPT) and members use this form to add new music with different fields. Also using rich editor and can add media from URL… Buddypress activity stream can show this form body (actually show post body normally). If i add also image from URL to this frontend music CPT form, we can see this image also on buddypress activity. Well i love buddypress.. Flexiable, great..

1 – But if i add video URL on this form do not show embed video on activity stream. I mean that, i tried 100 times frontend or backend, embed video (if use in any CPT) do not show on buddypress. When i click this activty open page and i can see video. I know missing something.

2 – If my author create any music CPT –backend admin side– with Visual Composer, there 3 different actions.

Action:1 – First, Buddypress activty show all font color or image, or texts created by visual composer. Its ok. Love buddypress. But when i select (site-wide or members activty) show post, friendship or comment than turn to everything or music cpt, buddypress now do not display this music CPT, so i must refresh the page. I mean that when a user select everything to post (or comment) or commet to everything: page must otomatically refresh to display my visual composer codes. If i dont refresh the page, activiy stream show like that [vc_row][vc_column][vc_text][/vc_column][/vc_row].

Action 2: When i edit this CPT -backend and created by VC-, buddypress sometimes dont load any activity.. If i delete this post from again backend, everything is ok, all activity is coming back. I dont know how try search this on forum.

Action 3: I am on backend admin and creating a new music CPT without visual composer.. No problem, all edit can show on buddypress again. Such as i shared music 3 hours ago but now editing. I can see this new edit when i scroll actvity page 3 hours ago… BUT, What i want, buddypress activtiy can create a new music post (for this edit) and can say “edited music” … Maybe we can put icon or color original (3 hours ago) cpt, also same time can create clone music for same cpt 🙂 on activity stream… I dont know how to search this 🙂

Long sentences long, i know 🙂 … Maybe someone help me… Becuase i am not developer just copypaste code user 🙂

add_post_type_support( 'music', 'buddypress-activity' );
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return; }
     bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'music', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_music',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'My Music', 'custom-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Music', 'custom-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s published <a href="%2$s">Music Suggest</a>', 'xxx' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s published <a href="%2$s">Musik/a>, on the site %3$s', 'xxx' ),
               
       
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

Group posting by administrators and moderators only isn’t possible out-of-the-box. You’d need to write some custom code or find a plugin that can do that.

@shanebp has been working on a geo-location plugin for BuddyPress which might be useful to you.

Hope this info helps!

Thank you I am having hard time convincing folks that this is an issue https://buddypress.org/support/topic/users-cannot-register-since-update-2-53/
Are you using any plugins or just plain BP?

@maganiza,

it’s possible. I suppose you need a unique code for some later user specific actions. But that code exist nowhere when a user register. What can we do ?

1) generate a 6 digit code and show it on the register page
2) asign that code to the user
3) show the code on his profile

1 – we use php mt_rand to generate the code and one of the available action hook on the register page for his output. Add this snippet to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_digit_generator() {
$num = mt_rand ( 0, 0xffffff ); 
$output = sprintf ( "%06x" , $num );
 
	echo '<strong>Your personnal code: '. $output .'</strong>';

}
add_action( 'bp_after_account_details_fields', 'bpfr_digit_generator' );

2) create a new xprofile field, call it Personnal Code or whatever. Make it mandatory and asign it the visibility level you want. In field description, ask the user to copy/paste in the code.

3) as the user entered the code in a xprofile field, you get automagically this field on his profile.

I’m a bit unsure how to insert this field value in the activation email, or if it’s even possible. Perhaps somebody else can help you. See email on codex.

A bit raw, but at least you have a start point how to do that.

Here also another method, you may use if you don’t want the user to copy/paste the code.

Yes. Every member in your install will have a user ID. So both BuddyPress and WordPress users will get a number. In fact, at the back end WordPress users and BuddyPress members are the same thing.

User IDs are assigned automatically so you don’t need to activate them. With reference to displaying the number on your BuddyPress site, check out this article:

Playing with the user’s ID in different contexts

Hi, i’ve a working solution for those like me who did not receive any buddypress email with html format (because there was a 3rd party plugin which was redeclaring wp_mail for eg.), here is the code to put in your functions.php file in your theme :

/**
* Provide an HTML template for all your BuddyPress emails
* BuddyPress 2.5 introduced a new stylised HTML email system. 
* By default the HTML system doesn't work if a 3rd party transactional email plugin is active 
* (e.g. wpMandrill or SendGrid), and reverts to sending plain text emails.
*
* This function allows the stylised BuddyPress HTML emails to be sent using some 3rd party plugin. 
* It does this by sending the email through wp_mail() rather than directly with PHPMailer.
*

*/
add_action( 'init', 'my_prefix_bp_wp_mail_html_filters' );
function my_prefix_bp_wp_mail_html_filters() {
    add_filter( 'bp_email_use_wp_mail', function( $bool ) { 
      return false;
    }, 10, 1 );
}

hope this helps 😉

@radair2002,

nothing out of the box on hand, but what if you make any of the fields with “only me” visibility level as default , for everybody ? If site admin approve the content, he can change the level to something more public.

For email notification, a solution is given in this topic.

Perhaps you can also use this plugin, with some custom restriction/adaptation.

Maintenance mode is related to WP. BuddyPress was updated 24th may and WordPress 6th may.

Have you tried to debug by deactivating theme and all plugins (except BP) ? Use one of Twenty’s theme for that test and see if the notice remains.

Read also here to have a global overview of how this notice is coming up.

I have no idea where or what BuddyPress might be doing to cause that. More likely, it’s causing some issue with custom code. I think you might have to debug it, if you know PHP.

Sorry, no, it’s not a perfect solution, just a workaround. Best practice would be to use what is explained here.

As said previously you cannot change the Name field, and to exclude or modify his description you can’t even (so far i know) modify the default view level (All) for that field.

So you have to use another CSS trick and perhaps add an “only me” message to the Name field description.

#field-visibility-settings-toggle-1 {
display:none!important;
}

Hi @ma3ry,

it’s impossible !

But there is an all or nothing trick. You can apply a CSS rule.
Try to add this to your child-theme style.css

tr.field_1 {
 display: none!important;
}

Do you mind telling what version of Buddypress you are running since I am experiencing the same issue.

Thanks for the post, and thank you everyone that chimed in to alert the OP about the protocol for security concerns. Understanding it’s possible there’s a communication gap here, this topic does also read (to my eyes) as condescending & inflammatory, which is honestly not going to yield a very positive conversation. I think y’all did a great job staying positive, and I for one greatly appreciate that.

To be clear to anyone else that runs into this topic, what the OP sees is not a BuddyPress or bbPress bug; this is WordPress doing it’s best to show published content from public post types.

About BuddyPress:
* Neither BuddyPress nor bbPress modify this core behavior
* BuddyPress does not use this interface; bbPress does
* The .org sites have not disabled this, they just do not have any unusual content to leak

The gist:
* If plugins allow for private content, it’s up to those plugins to protect it
* If you create roles with content limitations, it’s up to you to confirm they’re working

For anyone looking to modify or restrict content that appears in this list, use the wp_link_query_args and wp_link_query filters to do so.

Here is how WordPress calculates the results in this list. Note that it only uses published posts from public post-types:

$pts = get_post_types( array( 'public' => true ), 'objects' );
$pt_names = array_keys( $pts );

$query = array(
	'post_type' => $pt_names,
	'suppress_filters' => true,
	'update_post_term_cache' => false,
	'update_post_meta_cache' => false,
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' => 20,
);

WordPress has a built-in way to calculate privacy scope using 'perm' => 'readable' and even that is not used here (though bbPress does use this in its own loops.) WordPress instead takes a strict position of published public content by default.

If anything unexpected is appearing here, it is not because of BuddyPress or bbPress, and we are still happy to help anyone discover the source of this in a new & more friendly topic.

@sbrajesh (BuddyDev) published a pretty cool tip about page titles:

Is there a formal process for requesting this feature?

Yes. The formal place to request features is Trac.
