It’s unclear what you’re trying to do.
But to add a tab to a subnav, you should use bp_core_new_subnav_item.

Hi,

this was asked hundred times since BP exist (2007). One of the latest :

Regarding about custom field display

@rickaltman – I think buddypress can do most of what you describe here right out of the box. I would search for forum threads and maybe plugins to have your members auto join a group –
this would give you something like “your site dot com / groups / mainGroupName / members
for this kind of list – although it would be a list rather than grid system – you may find another way to do it, but it’s probably gonna take some hacking-up things to get the grid layout if you really want that – I’d try to find something less robust – like maybe just the wpmudev membership2 plugin in the wp repo – and hackup a page to list authors with a wp theme or something…

bp can do a profile pic.. but it needs plugins to really “upload photos” – and that’s a can of worms in which some is over-baked, some under baked, and future possibilities are endless.. some built in bp hooks have been made a while back but.. well not sure what meant exactly by “upload photos” –

its going to be much easier to get community support for regular wordpress themes and such.. buddypress is probably a lot more power than your use case is gonna need.. and with that is gonna be spam issues – virtually no support for customizing anything.. even if you knew php really well, you’d have learn wordpress well, and then try to digest all the BP docs and sort through tracs.. gits.. and other random stuff on the web that is not well documented, no well supported, and leaves you wondering if it’s secure… and the chances of all the various hackedup things working well together is blah… and future updates – hahaha.. who knows that is going to happen.

In your situation I’d say it wouldn’t hurt to play around with BP – as it’s free.. but if it doesn’t do what you want out of the box.. then I would delete it all – and try a basic wordpress with members plugin.. maybe even just a ‘multi-author blog” – you’ll get less spam, and much less work.

Others may think / feel differently about all this, my experience comes from my issues – your mileage may vary..

Thank you for these clarifications.

It was not a BuddyPress issue and not a WordPress issue (as first expected), but a simple php error in a custom file. Little cause, big disease…

This is a lesson for all of us: whatever you code, take care with it. A missing dot, coma or other little syntax error can lead to endless searches, heavy expectations and massive headaches!

Hi,

BP devs are aware of this detail… Please read https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7392

Are you using BuddyPress?
bbPress has a separate support forum.
Your error message shows that it is caused by this plugin: smartlib-tools.
You should talk to the creators of that plugin.

Hi, you can put the following code in your bp-custom.php

/**
 * BuddyPress Logged In User redirection on Registration page
 *
 */
function buddydev_loggedin_register_redirect( $redirect ) {

	//you can do a lot here
	//if you want to redirect based on profile field, member types or roles, you can do so
	//$user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();

	//send to profile
	//$redirect = bp_loggedin_user_domain();

	// or you can simply hard code it
	//$redirect = "http://yoursite.com/example-page"

	return $redirect;
}
add_filter( 'bp_loggedin_register_page_redirect_to', 'buddydev_loggedin_register_redirect' );

Now uncomment on of the //$redirect block or you can put your own link.

Hope that helps.

Maybe you could use this hook in buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-attachments.php:
do_action( $object_data['component'] . '_cover_image_uploaded', (int) $bp_params['item_id'] );

And delete any existing meta re the choices you provide.

Oops, sorry, just saw that you want the option in addition to choosing an existing image.

So, I would do a template overload of this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\change-cover-image.php
And offer them the option of choosing an existing image or upload their own.

If they choose the latter – use the existing call:
bp_attachments_get_template_part( 'cover-images/index' );

And for the former – call in your custom screen as I suggest above and adjust cover-image-header.php to load the appropriate image if that metadata exists for the member.

I don’t see that hook in member-header.php

You can create a template overload of that file and add what you need directly to the template.

>Do plugins and themes create custom hooks

Yes.

For the text, look at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\cover-image-header.php

For the nav, look at this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\home.php

But don’t change those files, make a copy in your theme, aka template overload.

Hi,

BuddyPress follow your wordpress registration settings. Some other details can be found here:

Registration

Modifying the Registration Form

BP does not provide that functionality out-of-the-box. But it can be extended to do so.
You will need to write some custom code.
Or there may be a plugin that does something close to what you need and you can adapt it.
Either way you’ll need to be able to write php code.
If you can’t write code, you can post a job listing here.
