Sorry, I haven’t tested the plugin i mentionned. You’re right it doesn’t show a button but simply display favorites differently.

OK, here is a snippet you can add to bp-custom.php which will add a Favorite button to blog posts.

Note
the function works with currrent BP version (2.6.2).
The grey side of this solution is that you have to use a child-theme and to tweak a little the way the button will show. This is very theme dependant and would not be used the same way if you use ie. Twenty Sixteen or ie. Graphene.

While using 2016, you can simply echo the button on the template.
If you use a more complex theme, you could probably use an existing action hook of the theme. This means that you need a function who hooks into such a predefined placeholder.

In any case, the file to modify is your theme’s single.php. Copy it into the child theme to get:
/wp-content/themes/child-theme/single.php

If you don’t see any do_action( ‘something’ ), you add the following in an appropriate place:

echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
Certainly inside the post loop, and probably below the post and before the comments.

If you see some action hooks in single.php, you add this function to bp-custom:

function fav_buttons() {
  echo get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post );
}
add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template', 'fav_buttons' );

You need to change graphene_before_comment_template to the action name used by your theme.

add_action( 'graphene_before_comment_template'

Hope to be clear.

And here the function for the button:

function get_fav_or_unfav_button_for_post( $post ) {
global $bp, $activities_template, $post;

	// only show the button to logged-in users
	if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
	return '';
	}
	
	$activity_id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array(
		'user_id' => $post->post_author,
		'type' => 'new_blog_post',
		'component' => 'blogs',
		'item_id' => 1,  // blog_ID
		'secondary_item_id' => $post->ID // post_ID
		) );
	
	if ( ! $activity_id ) {
	return '';
	}

	bp_has_activities(); // update $activities_template with user's favs
	$old_value = false;
		
	if ( isset( $activities_template->activity->id ) ) {
		$old_value = $activities_template->activity->id;
		$activities_template->activity->id = $activity_id;
	} else {
		$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	
	// build the template
	$code = '';
	$code .= '<div class="activity-meta">'."\n";

		if ( ! bp_get_activity_is_favorite() ) {
		// if not favorited, add a "Favorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_favorite_link( ).'" class="button fav bp-secondary-action" title="Add to my favorites">Favorite</a>'."\n";
		
		} else {
		
		// else, add "Unfavorite" button
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link( ).'" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action" title="Remove from my favorites">Unfavorite</a>'."\n";
		
		// Bonus button: "View all my favorites"
		$code .= ' <a href="'.bp_loggedin_user_domain() . 'activity/favorites/" class="button unfav bp-secondary-action">View all my favs</a>'."\n";
		}
		
	// closing .activity-meta
	$code .= '</div>'."\n"; 

	if ( false !== $old_value ) {
		$activities_template->activity->id = $old_value;
	} else {
		//$activities_template->activity = null;
$activities_template->activity = (object) array( 'id' => $activity_id );
	}
	return $code;

}

And voila !

Hi @donsauce,

there is no such setting in BuddyPress, but it exist a plugin !
See:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-views/

Salut,

members are deleted 3 or 4 days after their registration
Perhaps simply because they deleted their account ? 😉
Check Settings > BuddyPress > Options
Suppression de compte []Les membres peuvent supprimer eux-mêmes leur compte

or some custom function in theme or bp-custom ?

To know if it is related to theme, Force Photo or any other plugin, deactivate it(them) and see if it change something.

Nothing better at the moment.

Hummm, now it’s me who doesn’t understand !

You asked first
is there any way we can add the existing buddypress favorites to the blog posts

and now you say
I wish to have it in blogs – so […] I can press Favorite

Sorry if i misunderstand your request, english is not my mother language… Do you want to add a [favorite] button to each blog post ? Or do you want to remove some filters from activity favorites ?

Activity → Favorites

Please note that you don’t need to add your site url in each of your topic. It’s useless and considered as a bad practice when nobody asked specifically for it.

Making a WordPress & BuddyPress Site Private, the Right Way

Hi,

Which group menu are you talking about ?
How do you add the link ? And why ? Because, you haven’t to do that on a standard MS install, even for private groups. Sorry, but this point is a bit unclear.

Review your forum settings:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

Group Settings and Roles

Hallo @mmirlach,

I’ve activated the toolbar bubble in the settings… What are you talking about ? Such a setting doesn’t exist in BuddyPress.

You can get any css information you need for this by:
– right click on the page where you see this bubble and check the source code
or
– use Firebug or a similar tool.

Is the child theme only good for Buddypress editing? YES

Or can I use it to edit another plugin as well? NO
Plugins don’t have (at the moment) a child-plugin.

That’s strange, I use invite anyone on a number of sites so I can confirm it works.

Have you tried deactivating all plugins except Buddypress and Invite Anyone to see if that works?

If it does, it’s a case of activating the other plugins one by one until you discover which one is causing the conflict.

IF you are getting the 500 error you may not be able to get to the Dashboard to deactivate plugins, that being the case you should FTP to the wp-content/plugins directory and you can delete the other plugins from there in order to get your site back.
