You should read before installing a prototype plugin !

This is a work in progress to illustrate what i have in mind for a next BuddyPress Template Pack. DO NOT USE on a live website! I repeat: DO NOT USE on a live website!

If you want a visual editor, here’s a bit old solution. Give it a try, maybe it’s still working !

Updates are added via an ajax handled text-area field type. But I never heard about a nested text-area. The only way to add something is to edit the update.

The form is in bp-legacy/buddypress/activities/post-form.php
A list of all BuddyPress “update” or “updates” related functions can be found here.

you want to add a new buddypress profile field?

Ask GF for the hook re a form submission.
Then use that hook to call a function that uses bp_activity_add()

Hi @littlemisslanna,

Yep, but you have better to ask how to do that on Gravity Form support forum. We can help you here for BuddyPress usage, not for third party implementation. Sorry ! 😉

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?

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. 🙂
