BuddyPress.org

Hi @famous,

anything directly related to URL for bp is listed here:
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=l&search=url

In most case, you can built a link by array, which generally extend pre existing parameters. It’s very variable and depend where and how the link shoud work.

Here some exemple snippets to add a link to a member’s profile.

/* add external link on buddy menu bar */
function bpfr_menubar_link() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

$link = bp_get_loggedin_user_link();

	$bp->bp_nav[$slug] = array(
			'name'                    => 'View my profile',
			'slug'                    => 'super_link',
			'link'                    => $link,
			'css_id'                  => 'super-link',	
			'position'                => 20
		);
}
add_action( 'bp_core_new_nav_item', 'bpfr_menubar_link', 999 );

/* link to profile on SWA page */
function goto_my_profile_tab() {
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

  if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

    echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';
  
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // SWA page
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // members directory page

/* shortcode linking to profile [xyz] */
function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	
return '<a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'xyz', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );

Another technique for groups here.

In hope this will help you to go further.

There is also a free plugin at http://www.buddyboss.com/purchase/buddypress-auto-group-join/ if that helps.

that’s correct, BuddyPress filters the the_content of a BP page so anything you add to the content editor will not show. BuddyPress uses your themes page.php for all its pages so its kind moot to add content in the editor unless its something to display site wide. You are better off hooking to bp template hooks to display extra content on specific pages.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am now testing it on my developer site. Also noticed problems with BuddyPress after restoring via VaultPress to my developer site. I got this error:

require(): Failed opening required 'Xd#�F+' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php70/pear') in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-classes.php on line 14

and

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 549755814048 bytes) in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-component.php on line 370

So it seems that BuddyPress needs to be updated for PHP 7.0.6+

Best regards,
Michael

A Group Types API is on its way – 7 commits yesterday 🙂 https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6784

Thanks @r0z for the elegant solution.

I would just add that in order to prevent PHP Notices, change the qualifier to the following:

if ( function_exists( 'buddypress') && ( !empty( buddypress()->displayed_user->id ) || !empty( buddypress()->current_component ) ) ) {

…build the CPTs in a more traditional way.

That would be useful knowledge, but registering CPTs for BP can be a bit different.
If you haven’t, look at this codex page.
And you may actually want to build a custom BP component.

The change reported in https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6972 has been added to BuddyPress trunk, and will be included in BP 2.6.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10747

It sounds like you want to filter the content body of the activity item.

There is a filter hook for that:
apply_filters_ref_array( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', array( $activities_template->activity->content, &$activities_template->activity ) );
in function bp_activity_content_body() in
buddypress\bp-activity\bp-activity-template.php

I think the main issue will be determining if the entry is related to your CPT.
And that will be affected by how you created the CPT.
There may be some info in the second argument – maybe in ["type"] ?

Try:

function ben_filter_activity_body( $content, $activity ) {
	
	var_dump( $activity );
	
	$content = ' Start of your content ' . $content;
	
	return $content;
	
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_content_body', 'ben_filter_activity_body', 25, 2 );

I am having the same issues. I can upload and set the crop marks but then when I click save I get “There was a problem cropping your profile photo.”

I have updated buddypress and bbpress, made sure my file permissions on the avatar and uploads folder are set to 777

No clue why this is happening.

Goodnight. Since the last update, buddypress not send emails validating new user accounts. I checked the plug smtp.wordpress and working properly. The problem occurs at the time of registration of a new user.

Yes sir.
Just found the problem:
my import of my SQL file was a little bit failed. Everything was fine but BuddyPress was corrupted – I don’t know why! Fixed it!

Now I can test PHP7. First opinion: it’s sensible faster on localhost.

I’ll install PHP7 later on my Debian Server to test.

@fakrulislam thank you!! Coincidentally I was having trouble with this with twentysixteen and just creating a stylesheet in buddypress/css and now the cover image appears thanks to that code! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just tested my whole Website with PHP7.
I have 19 PlugIns activated. 18 are working fine – except BuddyPress.

I really don’t know why but even simple functions like “messages_get_unread_count()” get an Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function messages_get_unread_count().

bp_get_messages_slug and many more gives me the same error.

Can anyone help?

Do you mean like a deactivate option? That isn’t available right now in BuddyPress.

I solved this error without having to disable the SEO in BuddyPress pages, and without having to touch the core of the plugin.
I’ll leave here (add in functions.php):

function wpseo_fix_title_buddypress($title) {
    // Check if we are in a buddypress page 
    if (function_exists( 'buddypress') && buddypress()->displayed_user->id || buddypress()->current_component ) {
        $bp_title_parts = bp_modify_document_title_parts();

        // let's rebuild the title here
        $title = $bp_title_parts['title'] . ' ' . $title;
    }
    return $title;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_title', 'wpseo_fix_title_buddypress');

maybe this code or something similar would need to be implemented in Yoast SEO plugin… maybe.
