BuddyPress.org

I made some “progress”

I found this and I can agree that it is still true.

Filtering is inconsistent and sometime happens twice.

I think this should be something to look into somewhat soon.

Anyway here is the minimum you have to do to turn off html filtering.

BUT it makes you website a lot more vulnerable to attacks and errors so use it at your own risk.

Add this code to your child theme function.php

//Unfilter xprofile *risky*

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value',           'xprofile_filter_kses', 1 );
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value',      'wp_filter_kses',       1 );
remove_filter( 'xprofile_get_field_data',                  'wp_filter_kses', 1 );
remove_filter( 'bp_xprofile_set_field_data_pre_validate',  'xprofile_filter_pre_validate_value_by_field_type', 10, 3 );
remove_filter( 'xprofile_data_value_before_save',          'xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save', 1, 4 );

Hi @richgraphicsstudio,

We need Groups and also Private Groups

I’d activate the Groups component.

Need to be able to upload face pictures

With BuddyPress, uploading profile photos is possible by default.

Hope this helps?

There’s a ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3789

View the comments in that ticket for some approaches that you can take. If you need some hooks in BuddyPress to make this happen, let us know by replying to that ticket. Login using the same credentials as you use here on buddypress.org.

You could also think about using Gravatar and disabling avatar uploads as well. It’s probably not a valid option for your site, but just making sure you know! 🙂

Hi @brianbws,

You’ll need to extend the BP_Attachment class with your own subclass. See the BP_Attachment article for more info.

It seems this is in-progress. See 6057 for updates.

thanks @henrywright for the swift reply … i was struggling with where to place these files, not seeing updates and generally wondering what I had been doing wrong. Basically I had been replacing the messages of the .po files when generating the new .mo translations … instead one should simply add a preferred translation as the following article suggests (https://wpalchemists.com/2014/05/buddypress-translation-files/)

oh the woes of .po & .mo ‘s … hope this helps someone else though!

The code is in /buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php

Hi @alvin341965,

There’s a function that will help you do that. It’s called groups_is_user_creator(). The first step is to create a groups loop. The code on this page will do that for you. Then immediately after <?php while ( bp_groups() ) : bp_the_group(); ?> you could add something like this:

if ( ! groups_is_user_creator( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() ) )
    continue;

Some considerations:

• I’ve used bp_loggedin_user_id(), but feel free to use something else like the displayed member’s ID.
• The function uses BP_Groups_Member::check_is_creator() which performs a database query for each item in the loop. To improve performance you might want to write your own SQL targeting groups only you’ve created and then loop through the result set. There may already be a function that does that for you. I’m not aware of one but someone else on here might be
• This doesn’t work well with pagination

Hi @sylkitt

The support forum of the Kleo theme told me it is not a theme problem but a Buddypress one.

Possibly, but let us be sure. Can you activate TwentyFifteen and test again?

Howdy Dan,
I have found similar instructions and made updates to no avail. I would appreciate the missing pieces so as to fully customize all labels and messages BuddyPress serves throughout various steps of the online engagement process.

In kindness and cooperation,
Mr E

You’ll need to write some conditionals based on knowing the current language.

And need to customize a template overload of this file:
bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\groups-loop.php

See function bp_has_groups in bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php for info about the include / exclude group ids parameters re the group loop.

Hi Patryk,
Did you try using the BuddyPress data repair tool? I’ve had some success with it in cases like this. In the back end toolbar, go to Tools > BuddyPress and choose which data to repair. You should only run one repair job at a time. (I usually step through all five repairs just to make sure everything’s synced.) Hope this helps!

The plugin needs to be compatible with BuddyPress, not vice versa.
You should contact the plugin author and make that request.

@stunley
You can’t define the default component outside of php tags. Try this:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
/**
 Change BuddyPress default Members landing tab.
 **/
define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
?>

In that case, you can just do this:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>
    <?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
 
        <?php locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Unless you filter this, it’ll show everything.

Question — How did you start this topic? I’m logged into buddypress support, but don’t see a way to create a new topic like you did above?

Can you test with another theme ? Also are you using some cutom template for profiles, or a plugin or a custom function ?

See if you have this in your template:
<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?></h2>

The original is in bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/members-header.php

Maybe your theme or custom work is using something other than bp_displayed_user_mentionname();
