BuddyPress.org

@toggerybob
change your permalinks to pretty permalinks in the wordpress settings,
then activate bp.. then go run through the config / page associations (https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-components/ )

should be good to go at that point.. you may need to create a few blank “pages” like activate and register – or they may populate…

And ?

BuddyPress Theme Development

When you override CSS, use !important to get the new rule to work. Cibling the ID is also a good practice in this case.

#buddypress div.activity-avatar img.avatar {
height: 40px!important;
width: 40px!important;
}

This is not a BuddyPress related question. Please read here:

Note: I am using the default theme of buddypress.

Weird ! Have you tried with Twenty Fifteen ?

First, read here:

Customizing BuddyPress Avatars

Try to add the define to your child-theme functions.php, instead of bp-custom.

Spare bandwidth… define ( 'BP_AVATAR_ORIGINAL_MAX_WIDTH', 640 ); Are you sure you want to allow such a big size for a picture who use as max full width a default size of only 150 px ? 😉

Hi @lo133,
there is nothing out for what you’re looking for. Answering to “why” is easy, even if it sounds ridiculous: because BP is not FB or Twitter or Google. @djsteveb already gave some other good advice.

Basically, BP is using the built-in favorite feature and doesn’t “share” activities from one to one user, but from one to all. To get individual activities, users have to go to a profile.

That said, maybe considering one of these solution could help you ?

New Plugin Adds BuddyPress Activity as a Wire/Wall to User Profiles

http://buddydev.com/plugins/facebook-like-user-activity-stream-for-buddypress/ (premium)

Mention stuff is in buddypress/bp-activity/css and buddypress/bp-activity/js

To modify the text color of the name list, add this into your child-theme style.css.
Use !important for the new rule.

.atwho-view {	
color: #e30472!important;
}

@lo133 – So – you want to find something within your own buddypress site – and click to share this on your “friend’s activity / all” ? – I THINK your friends can see activity of their friends with a simple click (eg – /members/admin/activity/friends/ ) – so anything you have shared on your profile would display in that feed..

Or (and?) – you want to be on another web site and share something from some other place onto your own activity wall? (I think that is easiest done with wpmudev’s activity plus plugin)

There IS an option to kind of send something to your friend’s “wall” – on their profile if you click “public message” then it opens a box and adds @myFriendsName… which kind of does what you may be asking about.

I would imagine there would be a cool modification to the WP “press this” button code – where a person may be able to highlightsomething and include a list of friends to @MyFriendsName them – however I think it could get bloated if you have a lot of friends…

I myself think it better to just post an activity update and if your friends want to see it then can click to see friend’s activity – or you could make that display the default display when people log in … and if you needed to get a site notification to someone – say post a picture of a sunset – it shows in your activity, and your friend’s would see it on friend’s activity – and if that sunset reminded you of someone particular, you would @MyFriend Mention them – and they MAY get a notification sent to them.

Still not exactly sure what content you are wanting to share with friends, and where you think that should show up.

It may be that you want to customize how activity is displayed to logged in users and solve what you are going for. Not sure really.

“Do you understand?” – I still do not understand what you are asking about. Sorry.

Maybe you mean… while using your buddypress web site you want to share an activity with your other “friends” within buddypress or something?

Only thing i understand from default.css concern gallery and images rules.
If you don’t want them, remove them or use display:none;

bp-default styles are in bp-default/_inc/css/default.css
To overide, you use a child-theme containing a style.css file

haha, @hnla <3 the side effect of wp’s teaser:
One central account.
One unified admin area.
One click install.

… how long whould it take to finally repair & make this forum and codex pages to work correctly, with a clear admin ?

2008 – BuddyPress is born.
2015 – shoemaker’s son always goes barefoot !

hi @nnyorker,
use bp_get_loggedin_user_link()

For example
echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';

Reference

bp_get_loggedin_user_link

@bruce7075,

here a complete solution you can use for friends privacy.

– Whe’re going to show the friends menu only to… friends !
– We remove friends activity.

Copy this to bp-custom.php

function bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc() {
	$retval = false;
	
	if ( bp_is_user() && ! bp_is_my_profile() && ! friends_check_friendship( bp_displayed_user_id(), bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) {
		$retval = true;
	}
	
	return $retval;
}

function bpfr_hide_friends_nav_to_non_friends() {
	
	// Stop if condition is not filed
	if ( ! bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc() ) {
		return;
	}
	// otherwise, we remove the nav
	bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'friends' ); // bp topnav
	bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'activity', 'friends' ); //bp subnav (my activities, my groups, etc)
}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'bpfr_hide_friends_nav_to_non_friends' );

// we want also to remove all friends related activities to non friends
function bpfr_hide_friends_activity_type_to_non_friends( $activity_action = array(), $component_id = '' ) {
	
	// if condition is not filed we go back to original output
	if ( 'friends' != $component_id || ! bpfr_maybe_hide_friends_nav_etc() ) {
		return $activity_action;
	}
	
	// otherwise, we remove member from context
	$activity_action['context'] = array_diff( $activity_action['context'], array( 'member' ) );
	
	return $activity_action;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_set_action', 'bpfr_hide_friends_activity_type_to_non_friends', 10, 2 );

Not a bug, Hugo just didn’t grant you access. I’ve given bobbingwide editor permission on codex.buddypress.org, @herbmiller — thanks for contributing. 🙂

Hi Hugo, I created bobbingwide and herbmiller on wordpress.org on 21st Dec 2010.
My other ID, vsgloik came later, on 30th Apr 2012.

For each account I can see the Create New Page link, but it leads to You attempted to access the "BuddyPress Codex" dashboard, but you do not currently have privileges on this site. etc

The Visit Dashboard link tells me You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

This smacks very much of WordPress TRAC 29714, a duplicate of 22895.

@lo133 – you can add sharing buttons in many different ways with buddypress – simply add a plugin – there are tons of them in the wp-repo and it’s easy to adapt code that is already posted around.

If you are asking why there is no sharing on the posts HERE on buddypress.org – I could not say – it is not something that I would use – and if I wanted to share something on facebook (which I do not) then I could simply copy the url and paste it – or use the functions that are now built into firefox or something.

@lo133 – there are many, many reasons for NOT..

but in case you are looking to do such (a horrible thing for your site, your users, their privacy, crappy buttons cluttering up..)

A quick search via startpage.com shows there are several discussions about this and it appears that multiple people have discussed and come up with ways to do such a (n evil) thing..

including.. https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-social/
discussions for doing this with various methods outlined from three years ago – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/share-activity-on-social-network/

I would imagine there are some updated options as well, or it should be simply to tweak existing code that is already in the wild and gpl to do this today.

of course you could also search the forums here and find more info about that more than likely – and a search in the wp-repo may bring up some free options to test that may do exactly what you are describing.

I myself am glad this stuff is not included in core – as I would be searching for ways to remove every single last little bit of any third party code / assets and or dependencies..

kind of like what needs to be done with recent updates of wordpress core – removing google fonts, removing gravatar, third party emoji, blah blah. meh.
