BuddyPress.org

Having BP active on all sites in a network just means BP works on all of those sites. By default, the main domain, as you call it, becomes the central hub.

In practical terms, if you have the Site Tracking component enabled, it’d track blog posts/comments on all sites into the hub’s activity stream. There’s a “Sites” tab in the user profile that will show a list of all the sites that the user has some kind of access to (to the wp-admin).

There are other things like @mentions that you could get to work (though you’d probably have to write a bit of code to support the non-BuddyPress templates running on the non-hub site(s).

Assuming you mean the plugins discussed here a year ago, no plans.

Beyond that, your questions are best addressed to the plugin author via their website.

I’m not aware of any that integrate into BuddyPress.

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

// 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.
