BuddyPress.org

Previous snippet changed all avatars (user, blogs and groups) which is not what you want. Here’s a snippet which works almost correctly, but not to 100%. Give it a try anyway.

It changes the user avatar depending of an xprofile value.

(add to bp-custom.php)

function bpfr_my_new_avatar_url() {
global $bp;

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	if ( is_page( 'activity' ) ) {
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();	
	}

$ranking = xprofile_get_field_data ('ranking', $user_id );

	if ($ranking == "Top 25") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/25.png';
	}
	
	if ($ranking == "Top 24") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/24.png';
	}
return $url;

}
add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'bpfr_my_new_avatar_url' );

Create a profile field called “ranking” with 2 options (top 24 & top 25).
Create a folder in your child-theme called “custom_img” and add 2 pictures: 24.png & 25.png (250×250)
If everybody must those avatars, disallow avatar upload in BP settings.
Site default avatar stays as Mystery Man (wp default setting).

You have also to get rid of Gravatar, so you must add this to bp-custom.php
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

The thing who doesn’t work is related to X & Y are now friends. Both willhave the same avatar.

Can probably by better improved.

BuddyPress does not call class phpmailerException so the error is from something else on your site.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpmailerException

I reinstalled it but error not gone so please help me for that

> When i login as a user the buddy bar does not display at all.

@fugu78 BP/WP versions? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to check if issue is resolved i.e., plugin conflict?

@knutta you need to install bbPress then follow instructions at

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

couple of pages of discussion in regards to some chat plugin with wp/bp recently:

Chat plugin?

in my limited experience, I would suggest nusoft’s av-chat since you are asking about incorporating video and having an option to save the videos. I don’t think there is any way to auto-mate moving saved video chats into bp – I think you’d have to admin in to your media server and pull files manually then add them to wp/bp yourself.

Maybe you would not need a live video chat plugin that saves files to add, perhaps something more like nusoft’s https://hdfvr.com/ which has a record video option, perhaps that could be incorporated in wp and bp with some custom button api or something (not sure, and if you explore that, let me know what you find out! I’d like to do that too!)

For just text chat with only a few people I like the free “quick-chat” plugin that is in the wp-repo.

Busier chat rooms have only worked for me using nusoft’s av-chat program or 123flashchat’s system. Everything else I have tried chokes after 20 users connect at the same time.

I’m looking into Jitsi and xmpp right now, if I can find some folks to work on an integration with these I may kick in some funding for it. Still learning php and java myself.

Just re-read your post, makes me think you could also use a screen recording software like corel’s videostudio or camtasia to “document all chat” – if you were involved in each one. Not sure what your project is really about, or what exactly you are looking to do, so a few random thoughts from another bp user, not yet a coder.

What version of BP are you using?

Have you seen this?

Sorry but your pasted code is wrong.
See source.
Read also the comments before you copy/paste.

@henrywright can you help out please ?

Please, don’t double post. Answers are not coming faster by doing this. Thx.

Topic is continued here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/avatar-does-not-show-outside-buddypress/

Your homepage contains an error:
ob_end_flush(): failed to send buffer of zlib output compression (1) in ../../wp-includes/functions.php on line 3269

Which kind of avatar should appear on the homepage ? It’s the default blog page and there is no avatar on this page.

You have to setup buddypress correctly at first before trying to modify your site.

Check that any BP component has his page and setup pretty permalinks.

Configure BuddyPress

Hi There …

I’m noticing this too – But I’m new to Buddypress, has this always been the case?

Crucially, I think someone who is a member of a group, should see the forums/topics from the group forums they are members of on the Forum Index.

‘Hidden’ should only apply to non-members

Does anyone know if this is correct behaviour/ how it’s always been?

Thanks

OK.
Have you setup pretty permalinks to something other as “default” ?

When BP is setup correctly, activities and members directory should be (by default), your-site/members/ and your-site/activities/
You actually have your-site/?page_id=5 for activities.

Check that you assigned a page to any activated BP component – ensure also they exist in page directory. These page should be blank and without any parent template or model. Just a title, nothing else.

More setup details on Codex.

Yes, it’s a knowed bbPress bug (at least 2 mounth ago). But bbPress was updated since… So i guess it’s also related to your theme and the way he calls page…

See here please, and apply the patch. (if not already in latest bbp ?)
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/weird-error-after-updating-buddypress/#post-234299

Activate first 2015 or 2013 while testing, so you will be sure it’s your theme in case of the test is successfull. And also all other plugins except BP and bbP.

Don’t panic ! Something went wrong after WP update. OK.
And two BP pages are now blank.
But at this time, it’s difficult to tell you what happened to your install.

Can you provide a site URL ? And a list of all your activated plugins ?

It’s also a good practice to have a local install, mirrored to your production site, where you can make some test. This is particulary usefull in situation like yours.

When you’re on group and members page, is the screen blank or only missing the BP part ?
Please enable wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get some error mesaage ?

FYI, here a similar discussion, so you can have a little overview about page issues.

Hi @edutech2015,

depends your theme, and needs preferably the usage of a child-thme.
the forum plugin is bbPress. This plugin use the same technique as BuddyPress to adjust CSS.

See bbPress documentation here.
And follow for BP from here.

@caniwigirl
I personally would choose to add it to bp-custom.php this is the best approach in case you decide to change themes down the road because if you place it in your themes functions.php or in a child theme of that themes functions.php then you will loose that functionality if you do change themes. The bp-custom.php acts more or less as a plugin independent from the theme you may use. Good luck!

you have to add a scope in bp_get_stuff function.

if ( bp_has_activities( $activity_id . '&scope=favorites,mentions&max=5' ) ) :

Thought you have to uncomment some of array values too. (component and item_id)
