Not sure it’s a fix to apply directly in a core file. You’ve probably need to review some of your templates or custom functions.

@venutius Thanks for the write up, hopefully in time the idea may gain traction, as for a handler for loading those snippets I did have one in use locally but code was rough and ready, so may consider re-doing and making available on github, originally the idea was to add a loader for the snippets to the core buddypress-functions.php file where the main stylesheets are loaded from.

For now all I can suggest I’m afraid is to play around with the min-height properties where they occur as it really is something that can never be a true one size fits all to create boxes unless we start adding JavaScript into the equation to test for the tallest box and set others to that.

@jek-fdrv,

we’ve discussing about this “tab” issue on this ticket:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7304

I invite you to jump in if you have any comments. You might also find a solution for your use case.

Hi @mei-ling,

it’s not an issue but how it works ! 😉

You can filter the activity stream and remove the activities you don’t want to be showed.

Add this snippet to bp-custom.php or your child-theme functions.php

function bpex_bp_activity_types( $retval ) {
   if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {

// list of all BP activity types  - remove or comment those you won't show.
	$retval['action'] = '
		activity_comment,
		activity_update,
		// bbp_topic_create,
		// bbp_reply_create,
		friendship_created,
		created_group,
		joined_group,
		last_activity,
		new_avatar,
		new_blog_post, 	
		new_blog_comment,
		new_member,
		updated_profile
	';	

	return $retval;
	
	}
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'bpex_bp_activity_types' );

You might also remove bbpress activities from the activity filter. You can use this (goes to same file as previous)

function bpex_remove_bbp_activities_dropdown_labels() {
   if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {

         // Remove forum filters in site wide activity streams
        remove_action( 'bp_activity_filter_options',        array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
     
         // Remove forum filters in single member activity streams
         remove_action( 'bp_member_activity_filter_options', array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
 
         // Remove forum filters in single group activity streams
         remove_action( 'bp_group_activity_filter_options',  array( bbpress()->extend->buddypress->activity , 'activity_filter_options'   ), 10 );
   }      
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'bpex_remove_bbp_activities_dropdown_labels', 9 );

Using bp_parse_args() to filter BuddyPress template loops

bp-custom.php

Thanks to the member who got in touch recently offering to help. Unfortunately we had to give up on Buddypress and went ahead with WP Symposium. Not impressed with their support and we won’t use them again. If we have to use Listify and social networking again I will be back to Buddypress!

By the way if anyone is thinking of using WP Symposium I would say don’t bother. The software itself is ok but looks basic and there are no demo sites (only their own which is on a basic free theme with no other major plugins and probably on a dedicated server). We’ve had to move to a dedicated server as it was so slow and we had big problems getting it to work with other aspects of our site. The support forum is closed so you cant actually see other people’s responses which would save time. Instead you just have to deal with one stroppy support guy who blames your other plugins rather than helping to resolve issues. We had to spend a fortune getting glitches in the coding repaired. Never again!

Hi,

seems it exist natively ?

Buddypress Setup

If it is not what you want, ask on the WP-Events plugin support.

This is the guide you need to read up on:

Template Hierarchy

has_directory means that if you click on a BP generated link /groups/type/foo/ or type that as a url/create a link to, then you will see that as the url and the loop will now show only groups of type ‘foo’

Template hierarchy will allow you to create a file named in this manner:
index-directory-type-foo.php (file must be a complete one though including WP headers/footers and all parts in-between.)

This will only be used if looking at those group types in the loop/url but you can now edit that and change as you require and only affect that group type loop directory display.

Hi,

read here, there is still a working example described.
Just forget about the filter option, the rest is ok.

Group Types option display

@shanebp

My code is the following and i got an error500 with your code. Did i forgot something to do i’m confused. No feedback from anyone if this solution worked or not?

function 3tmj_count_profile( $user_id = 0 ) {
	global $wpdb;

	if ( empty( $user_id ) )
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

	return $wpdb->get_var( "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = $user_id AND post_type IN { 'wpcm_vehicle' }  AND post_status = 'publish'" );

}

function profile_tab_advertenties() {
    	global $bp;

	$count = 3tmj_count_profile();
	
	$class = ( 0 === $count ) ? 'no-count' : 'count';
	
	$name = sprintf( __( 'My Posts <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );

	//$name = sprintf( __( 'Advertenties <span class="%s">%s</span>', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), esc_attr( $class ), number_format_i18n( $count ) );
	//$name = 'Advertenties <span>' . count_user_posts( bp_displayed_user_id(), array( 'wpcm_vehicle', 'post' ) ) . '</span>';

   	bp_core_new_nav_item( array( 
		'name' => $name,
		'slug' => __( 'advertenties', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), 
        	'screen_function' => 'advertenties_screen', 
        	'position' => 30,
	    	'parent_url'      => bp_displayed_user_domain()  . __( '/advertenties/', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ) ,
	    	'parent_slug'     => $bp->profile->slug,
		'default_subnav_slug' => __( 'advertenties', 'buddypress-meets-wp-car-manager' ), 
    ) );
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_tab_advertenties', 10);

This page has my own suggestions to try to avoid spammers, this combo dramatically cut down on the number of spam registrations and those that get through I hold them in a queue with BP Registration options a ban then based on discrepencies in their registration information.

Hi,

1) there is a premium plugin by shanebp

2) you need to code it yourself. See
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/including-post-categories-in-the-activity-stream/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/categories-and-tags-from-blog-post-in-the-activity-stream/

It relate to this filter bp_get_profile_field_data

This example will hide tabs and fields to all except admin

function bpfr_hide_profile_field_group( $retval ) {
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :	
	
	// hide profile group/field to all except admin	
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {		
		//exlude fields, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_fields'] = '1';  
		//exlude groups, separated by comma
		$retval['exclude_groups'] = '3'; 			
	} 
	return $retval;		
	
	endif;
}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_profile_parse_args', 'bpfr_hide_profile_field_group' );

These tricks hide the tab content, not the tab itself. (it seems that it doesn’t work for groups at the moment…i asked devs for information) Use CSS display:none to hide the tab or consider this plugin.

Once registered you have no other choice as to remove them manually.
To retain spammers, there many plugins and methods. Afaik none is the perfect solution and in many situation, you’ll need to use a mixed protection.

There many topics on the forum about spam… Search them and make your opinion.
That said, you might follow some basics to harden WordPress, which is a good debut (table renaming, ban “admin” as username, etc). After that, a bunch of anti-spam plugins will calm down their activity on the site. (ban-hammer, buddypress honeypot, etc) Also keep in mind that you won’t probably never avoid spammers. But there is a big difference between 2 spam/day and 1000/per day. 😉
