BuddyPress.org

Good, i’m changing the names of the plugins.
The question is about BuddyPress.
Sorry again.

Sorry! Is buddyPress.
Thanks, your reply help me.

@djpaul Thanks for taking time to think about this. Unfortunately I don’t know much about PHP, or believe me I would be on the case… But if it’s any help I have seen 2 plugins on these forums over the last few years that between them partially do this. I am quite green with this but maybe they could be a good reference? BuddyPress members import is great but only half a plugin. I did ask the developer to add export functionality but he went quiet. It seems to do everything if only we had the export file. The other export plugins we have found don’t deal with groups that have been joined, friendships, activity or paths to profile photos. Groups and friendships would be a good starting place and save a whole heap of time on a fresh install.

Awesome! Sorry, I am new to wordpress and php development. Zero knowledge.

The code that you posted, should I copy and paste in an existing php file? or should I create a new php file and put it in the buddypress folder?

Thanks!

@henrywright Thanks for your reply. I looked at Trac but can only find where to file a bug report, not a feature request.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful and realise the BuddyPress team are volunteers doing a great job. But import / export seems fundamental to me and I don’t understand why it is not built in. I’ve seen this sentiment reflected in other people also over the last few years. It would save a lot of people many problems if their websites crashed for sure.

I see there is a BuddyPress Members import by youngtechleads. com and I have used it myself.
I see there are also a few plugins that export some of the data needed. What I can’t find is a complete solution and copying sql database tables over just hasn’t worked for me.

I think this is really needed and will make BuddyPress a more complete product. I really do think this is a missing part.

Hi,

It was actually my permalinks settings.

I changed that and it works, kind of. I’m quickly learning that nothing with Buddypress is as it seems and the support forum you need to budget days to get an answer to things that seem like obvious functionality. i.e. how to limit roles displayed on Member Directory pages and how to set the default role upon setup.

If anyone has the same issue or wants to help, you can find related posts here:

I’m quickly losing faith in the Buddypress community. It completely seems overwhelmed and not interested in what users want, but moreover, what they want to do. I’ve seen this sentiment echoed by others as well. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the project, but at the point I’ve never gotten a reply to an issue in less than 3 days. Just seems the opposite of community when no one gets back to you on direct questions with specific functionality.

I will post in the other areas when I get solutions.

Thanks.

it’s always the same for each link ? YES

OK , I didn’t know ! thanks

Groupes is french. If you use your mentionned code, you have to enter the slug used on your site, in your language. If it’s english, try ‘groups‘ instead.

Of course, I would have correct it myself.
with your code I managed to insert the slug article

$href = get_home_url().'/groupes/'.get_the_slug($id).'/join?_wpnonce=6b826ee77d';
But I will be stuck with the nonce cause it’s proper for each group :-/

Also this will never work like you expect.
bp_loggedin_user_domain() output gives your-site.com/members/username/groups/

OK thanks for the precision

And i suppose there is no utility to invite from within a post, a user to join a group of which he’s already member of ?!!!
Can you better explain the relation between post, author and join group ?
Do you mean, an author can invite readers to join (selectively) a group he’s member of ?

You’re right, I m going to clarify my needs by the begining ! 😉
In fact, I want to post some articles to talk about some contests / tests.
Only identified buddypress members will be able to see this articles (I make a restriction on them)
At the end of the articles, I wanted to add a button , that give them the possibility to participate to the test.
In fact, I don’t car using groups… I just need to register people who wants to participate (and then be able to do an export with export user data plugin that I m using actually)
I thought using groups to qualify this people, cause I thought it was the easier way… (When I write an article about a new test, I create a new group… So people when they click on participate button, update automatically their profile by joining the group related to the article – that’s why I wanted to put the same slug for group and article)
My final aim is just to export these infos… (complete profile informations and groups particpations)
So you’re right if someone is already member of a group (so has already clicked on this button), he shouldn’t be able to see the button (or ideally, a different message “you have always sent your participation”)

I hope it’s a little more comprehensible !
If you think group is not the good solution, I m listening 😉
My final purpose is just that user can be tagged as participant and that I can export this information)

Thanks a lot to have read this cause it was a bit long 😉

Of course I find it after I post about it. 😛

Solved, if anyone is interested:

I used the plugin “PHP Code For Posts” to create a shortcode with my php code and then I used the plugin “Shortcodes in Menus” to show it in my menu (Buddypress menu in this case).

Thanks for the reply Danp!

Well the WordPress installation is running as a wordPress multi-site and the I have setup BuddyPress as of the manual you mentioned above.

/* BuddyPress */
define ( 'BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG', true );
define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', 5 );
define ( 'BP_IGNORE_DEPRECATED', true );

But I’m not sure what is wrong..
