BuddyPress.org

You’d need to write some PHP. 🙂

The “recipient’s status” type is hooked to the groups-member-promoted action — so no.
You could use the groups_leave_group action which is triggered when a user is removed from a group.

There is some example code on our codex for how to set up custom emails. Take a look here: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/custom-emails/

Thanks.

Everyone else, keep an eye on https://buddypress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-buddypress-2-5-master-list/

Thanks. Yes, it’s the same root problem as the bug report I linked to above.

I’ve added your idea here! https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6938#ticket

Hi @mi423.

Yes, this is intentional.

BuddyPress 2.5 uses its own implementation of emails under-the-hood. We no longer use wp_mail. A consequence means that anything hooked to actions or filters specific to wp_mail no longer work. wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name is an example of this.
I apologise for the inconvenience.

There are a few ways to achieve this; you can either change the value after the default is *set*, or change it when the value is *read*. For simplicity, I’d suggest the first. This should work though I haven’t tested it:

add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
	$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );

EDIT: sample code tested and updated on March 4.

I agree with your analysis, @nyodulf!

There’s an issue in our bugtracker at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6937 where we are working on this.

It’d be helpful if you can confirm if you have the Activity component enabled or not on your site?

Thank you for letting us know.

@mi423 Thanks for the feedback! And sorry for introducing a new bug. We try not to do that. 🙂

I’ve created a bug report at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6937 which you can monitor for updates, or partipicate. Our first question is: what BuddyPress components do you have enabled?

Specifically, is the Activity component *not* enabled?

Yes, the French translation needs to be updated for BuddyPress 2.5. See https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/stable/fr/default?filters%5Bstatus%5D=untranslated&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

Hello,
I’ve transated emails in french one by one in admin.

But I can’t find a way to translate the “Hi” of the “Hi {{recipient.name}},” show in customize area.
Same problem for the “unsubscribe” in bottom message.

Have look in the template but did find the solution:
/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/assets/emails/single-bp-email.php

Any suggestion please ?

@scottofford Please could you update to BuddyPress 2.5 (we released it yesterday) and try again? If you’re seeing the problem, please open a new topic with more information about the problem, such as how to recreate it.

Thanks.

@brx8r Yep. 🙂

The last one isn’t a bug. Let me try to explain.

* “The Keeper” is your BuddyPress name.
* “the-keeper” is the version of your name used in URLs and for at-messages.

If your BuddyPress name looks like “firstname lastname”, BuddyPress will, by default, split that on the space into “firstname” and “lastname”, and sets those as your First Name and Last Name in the WordPress user profile (in wp-admin -> Users -> Edit).

The “What’s new” box is pretty old at this point and it must have been built to specifically fetch the “First Name”. Thus the “The” 😀

Hi @markob17

Glad you like it — thanks for using BuddyPress! There isn’t a token to add a member avatar. Where would you want it shown?

We could add a token, but it’d end up rendering a <img> tag, so I’d love to understand a bit more what your idea is. Maybe break out MS Paint and take a screenshot of an email and mark out what you’re describing?

Thanks so much for your step by step guide @mcUK. I’ve followed your instructions, but am stuck on changing the CSS Selector. The theme I’m using is (http://themeforest.net/item/sweet-date-more-than-a-wordpress-dating-theme/full_screen_preview/4994573), I’m trying to put the notifications in the top menu (Welcome/Features/Forums… on the demo, but I’ve added Buddypress menu items there). Do you know which selector I would need to use for that? Many thanks.

@lanvalencia The Spanish translation still needs to be completed for BuddyPress 2.5. The new phrases for the emails have not been translated: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress/dev/es/default

Maybe you can help @_dorsvenabili get those done 😀

After the translation is updated, and after WordPress downloads the updated language pack (the .mo and .po files), go to wp-admin > Tools > BuddyPress and run the “Reinstall emails” tool.

This will reinstall the emails in Spanish for you.

Thank you for using BuddyPress!

Hi,

check out the new Email feature added in BP 2.5.

Dashboard > Emails and customize any of the existing emails.

More details here:

Emails

Email Tokens

Can the {{{{unsubscribe}}} link only be edited directly in the single-bp-email.php file or am I missing something within the new editor? Also, I think the unsubscribe token has one extra ‘{‘ on the codex page: https://codex.buddypress.org/emails/email-tokens/

Really great work everyone! Thank you!

Hi @mcuk , I’ve added Buddypress menu items (e.g. messages, notifications etc.) in my main WordPress menu, together with WordPress menu items (e.g. home). I also want to have the notification counters next to each of the Buddypress items, but am struggling to get your solution to work for me (doesn’t help I’m not that proficient in coding)! Should I add the code above to the functions.php of my child theme, and is it only that one file I need to edit?

Many thanks.

This can be done by modifying your theme. BuddyPress uses a Template Hierarchy. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask them here 🙂
