BuddyPress.org

Thank you for your answers and recommendations!

The custom function that I have written before, I suppose it does what I want very well. Am I right?

Here it is again.

function filter_bp_get_total_group_count()
{
global $wpdb;
$hidden_sql = "WHERE slug not in ('health', 'social', 'cultury')";
$bp = buddypress();
return $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(id) FROM {$bp->groups->table_name} {$hidden_sql}" );
};

Hi @danbp thanks for reply.

Tried the code you wrote in the link above and it works fine. But as with the one referenced in my first post it reduces the string length upon display rather than preventing the user typing in a large number of characters in the first place (and the data being stored in database).

So moved onto looking at the code snippet by @henrywright for the sign up page. Would be suitable if i could convert it to work with profile fields. Got to this stage with a few q’s:

function my_textarea_validation() {
    $custom_field_id = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=Mini Bio' );	
	//is the use of $_POST['field_' . $custom_field_id] correct to access desired profile field?
	if ( strlen( $_POST['field_' .$custom_field_id] ) > 5 ) { 
        global $bp;
        //which $bp->... error message to use?
	$bp->signup->errors['field_'] = __( 'CUSTOM ERROR MESSAGE', 'buddypress' ); 
    }
}
//which hook to use? (to affect the textarea on Profile > Edit navigation tab)
add_action( '???', 'my_textarea_validation' );

Hi @danbp

I think I have done the same configuration as you, but don’t work for me. Could be possible thar your code not work with the new version of Buddypress?

This are my posts:

This is that I see with 'posts_per_page' => 2, :

Before, I have tested with Twenty Thirteen, Now I’m testing with Twenty Fifteen theme.

I have created a bp-custom.php file on plugins/ folder and deleted my previous plugin.

The only plugin I have active is Buddypress:

—
I would like to display only one tab with the posts of the displayed user, without subtabs. My goal is remove “My posts” and “My Comments”. I would like to display the posts inside the “Contributions” tab

Thanks for your reply, after reading it I’ve seen is the most adviced plugin for that aim.
Is there any live demo working or a live showcase of it?
I didn’t get if as the admin of the website I could create a page for mediapress grid album in which I’m the only one allowed to upload pics and letting all the registered members commenting on the pics, but at the same time as I said, not allowing anyone to upload their pics in that grid.
It should work like instagram but just with the buddypress accounts

Hi @danbp

I have added your code as plugin on my new test site. On this site have activated only 2 plugins: buddypress and your code.

This is what I see on the “My posts” tab (there is no navigation):

I would like to display only one tab with the posts of the displayed user, without subtabs.

Hi @modemlooper, thanks for getting in touch.

Yes I have site tracking active and I’m not using custom post types, thanks for the code though it will come in handy if and when I do.

There was no problems before moving url, I’ve double checked and there is no entries of the old url in the database.

Is there a buddypress php file that might not have updated the url? That’s all I can think of but I can’t find anything.

Right now it’s looking like I might just have to delete everything and start over 🙁

@danbp thanks for your reply. its highly appreciated. I understand its bit unnecessary.

Am using a custom home page via BuddyPress Groups Extras. So on my site the home page for groups is gpages which doesnt have a slug in the URL which is great.

now my second tab is “Home” which i renamed to “Activity”. This is also fine. But the slug of Activity page is “home”. so when i click on the activity tab the URL in the broswer shows group/name/home.

I believe the previous versions of BP the home page was actually named as Activity right?

the only way i can fix this is via hacking the core BP file bp-groups-loader.php

// Add the "Home" subnav item, as this will always be present
			$sub_nav[] = array(
				'name'            =>  _x( 'Activity', 'Group screen navigation title', 'buddypress' ),
				'slug'            => 'activity',

Thanks once again

According to bbpress, this is a BuddyPress thing. They don’t think notifications hooks up with bbpress subscriptions.

In case it wasn’t clear, I’m talking about “Notifications,” the BuddyPress feature. The little pop-up number balloons. Not emails (to which one can subscribe). When I search support forums I see that people use these terms very loosely, but I was trying not to do that!

B) new activity items going forward

The premise of my client’s site is basically Twitter, but for quotes. A user can enter a quote that their friend said, then tag their friend (assuming the friend has an account) and attribute the quote to them.

The quote will then appear in the activity stream, along with the tagged user’s avatar and username.

I figured BuddyPress would be my best bet for this, since it allows users to add friends and @mention other users, but now I’m a bit lost as to how to manage what my client it looking for.
