BuddyPress.org

Well, what do you know: I just found a fix for my problem here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4824#comment:4

(I had seen that recent fix from @pareshradadiya previously, but hadn’t noticed that it was a recent update to a 3 year old thread. So, figuring it might actually be current and relevant, I gave it a try and it worked.)

Did you find a solution to this? We’re running into this on a clean install. I’ve seen a post about possibly a clean install, but making sure to enable “anyone can register” before installing BuddyPress, but was hoping to find a solution that didn’t require that (and no idea if it would fix it).

For readers curious about the answer, autoembed does not run on meta items unless the dev runs it manually themselves ( @r-a-y ).

More details on BuddyPress Slack.

Hi Julia,

it’s a bbPress bug, patched a while ago, but still in. Maybe a day it will be repaired definetly.

For the moment, you can repair yourself. Open activity.php in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/

Replace following code block at line 277/279:

$existing = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id, 'show_hidden' => true, 'spam' => 'all', ) );
if ( empty( $existing['total'] ) || ( 1 !== (int) $existing['total'] ) )
return null;

by

$existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
if ( empty( $existing->component ) ) {
return null;
}

Save and reload to to your site by FTP and you’re done.

Private group options are

1. Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
2. This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
3. Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.

To modify option 3, you can code something.
Read from here.

Some details perhaps ?

Groups

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 );
