BuddyPress.org

Hi ma3ry

I know the path points to a BuddyPress file, but this notice is likely caused by a plugin you have activated. It basically means an array key r is being used, but the r key doesn’t actually exist in the array (for whatever reason).

Try deactivating your plugins 1 by 1 to see which might be causing the notice.

Simple Membership may use a different action hook on login. I’m guessing the redirect plugin uses the standard hook provided by BuddyPress. Do you have a link to Simple Membership?

I still can’t get it to work. I do have header images enabled so I edited this file:

buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

as follows:

<?php

				 /**
				  * Fires after the group header actions section.
				  *
				  * If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
				  * bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
				  *
				  * @since 1.2.0
				  */
		

bp_member_profile_data( 'field=city' );
bp_member_profile_data( 'field=state' );

		 do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

				 ?>

			</div>

Does “your theme” here mean my theme twenty twelve? Or do they mean some other buddypress theme folder?

Template compatibility also runs a check to see if two directories or folders exist in a theme:

‘buddypress’
‘community’
If either of these two folders exist in your theme and they contain BP template files then those files will be used in preference to the bp plugins versions.

Edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

If you have cover images enabled, edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

Either way, you should be creating template overloads.

Hello @imath, I can confirm that the code you are proposing is working fine, thank you!

May I take the opportunity to ask you, how would it be possible to display not just the most recent comment of an old update on top, but the old update together with all its comments.

I.e. the stream to display all updates and their nested comments in a chronological way, but the criteria to be the most recent date of either the update or any of its corresponging comments.

The default stream of BuddyPress hides any new comment deep down nested in its corresponding update. I would like the whole group to come up.

I hope my english was clear enough!
Thank you

Hi there, let’s try to reply to one problem at a time!

Now the posts do appear in activity stream, but not the comments. If i comment on a post, the stream doesn’t show the comments, but if i comment on a post via activity stream, the comment is then seen on a post and on the activity stream.

I guess, this means the BuddyPress “Site Tracking” is active.

1/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is not checked. It means when a post or a comment is posted, then an activity will be generated, but it’s not possible to add an “Activity comment” to the generated activities. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

2/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is checked. This means you chose to synchronize comments between the Post object and the corresponding activity object. So a comment on the activity about the post will generate a regular post comment and a regular post comment will generate an activity comment on the activity about the Post. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

Now @cmavrikas is talking about something else i think. He wants the activity comments to also be displayed like regular activities: in stream mode.
I then advise to use another filter to avoid parsing args / checking the current object of the Ajax querystring:

function activity_comments_stream_mode( $args = array() ) {
	return array_merge( $args, array(
		'display_comments' => 'stream',
	) );
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_activities_parse_args', 'activity_comments_stream_mode', 20, 1 );

I just tested it, and again it’s working fine in latest WordPress / BuddyPress 2.5.2…

I advise you to deactivate plugins/come back to a default WordPress theme and do the opposite work to find the plugins or theme that prevents this regular behaviors.

That list is/was pretty old and not well maintained. BP’s codex is under permanent reconstruction (made by volonteers), so it’s no tomorrow morning that that list will be back.

Actually, the best place to get available BP plugins is the WordPress Repository. Recommanded search keyword is buddypress. 😉

Hi @javasworks,

you get only one result because you’re in ONE group loop. If you did a custom work, you may omited or done something wrong.
See here how BuddyPress Groups widget is coded, perhaps you can find some inspiration.

Or more easy, why don’t you simply use the Group widget ?

Dear @danbp,

I was using the snippet that you proposed for forcing the stream of comments cronologically with success. It seems that with the recent BuddyPress updates it does not work anymore.

Do you have any idea about that?

Thank you very much,
Charalampos

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/blog-comments-not-appearing-in-activity-stream/#post-186091

// Force chronological comment display on the SWA

function bpfr_stream( $qs, $object ) {
	if ( 'activity' != $object ) {
		return $qs;
	}
	
	$qs = wp_parse_args( $qs, array() );
	
	$qs['display_comments'] = 'stream';
	
	return $qs;
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'bpfr_stream', 20, 2 );

There is no need to modify the member loop. You just have to add the function into one of the file i mentionned.

By doing this with bp-custom.php, you don’t need to alter your curent theme and by the way, it will also work in case you use another theme.

I did a bit of digging for you. The filter you need to use is bp_title_parts. Your hooked function will be passed an array of the BuddyPress title parts.

Ref: bp-core/bp-core-template.php#L3101

I just got it working with the wonderful plugin “Postman SMTP”!

But there is still a problem with BuddyPress 2.5: the emails are not sent with css styles!

With the following in functions.php, the mails are sent in text/html

add_filter( 'wp_mail_content_type', 'set_content_type' );
function set_content_type( $content_type ) {
  return 'text/html';
}

Without they are sent in text/plain. But with or without, the emails never look like in the customizer.

Any help? 🙁

You can still use global $bp; at the beginning of your functions to access the global’s data. But yes, buddypress() is a far better way. You should be able to update the Codex yourself? If that’s not the case, let me know 🙂

so I guess BuddyPress is bypassing or overriding this filter

If that were the case, you can increase the priority:

add_filter('document_title_parts', 'custom_groups_title', 20);

But I don’t think that’s the problem in this case. Maybe check if bp_is_group() and bp_current_action() are working as you expect them to be. var_dump( $some_value ); will be useful here.

Hi @xrossgg,

which language do you use on your site and which server type (apache, nginx, iis,..)? Also can you tell exactly what you mean by BP names ?

A priori your issue has nothing to do with BuddyPress, but with the way gettext is excuted or how device are handled (charset…) in your language.

The edit form is in edit.php. You will need to add that to the page but I don’t think it will be as easy as copying and pasting because the default form processing may depend on the current URL.

OK, so this is the code I have put into my child theme:

// COVER IMAGES

// Add css style for background cover images

function bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css( $settings = array() ) {

$theme_handle = 'bp-child-css';

$settings['theme_handle'] = $theme_handle;

$settings['callback'] = 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image';

return $settings;

}

function bp_legacy_theme_cover_image( $params = array() ) {

if ( empty( $params ) ) {

return;

}

return '

#buddypress #header-cover-image {

height: ' . $params["height"] . 'px;

background-image: url(' . $params['cover_image'] . ');

}

';

}

add_filter( 'bp_before_xprofile_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );

add_filter( 'bp_before_groups_cover_image_settings_parse_args', 'bp_legacy_theme_cover_image_css', 10, 1 );

I get this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare bp_legacy_theme_cover_image() (previously declared in /home3/xxx/public_html/mysite.com/wp-content/themes/valenti-child/functions.php:49) in /home3/xxx/public_html/mysite.com/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php on line 1928

Could someone point me in the right direction,…this is driving me nuts!
