BuddyPress.org

Lost in the forest indeed whaha, exiting tho!
When debugging the only error I get is:
Warning: base64_decode() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/admin/domains/ictaanbieding-webdesign.nl/public_html/FEN/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-actions.php on line 137

Any idea?

I had this site with buddypress running on another server and it worked fine, so im starting to believe it might me a user right issue.

Right, so the advice from @shanebp worked.

As I mentioned above, when originally did the translation, I didn’t use Poedit, I used an online editor (after using Codestyling first). Turns out the they simply aren’t as advanced as Poedit and those source keywords were really important here. As I was going through the strings in Poedit, I was seeing strings I had never seen before in the other software since the other editing softwares probably couldn’t read the strings in the first place.

I’ve seen various threads where other people have struggled with translating the same thing. Perhaps an update to the documentation including information about these specifics might be helpful for other in the future. The documentation https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/ does talk about using Poedit, but leaves out those rather important details needed to get a complete label and message change.

Either way, this issue is resolved.

@shanebp and @danbp thank you for the replies on this. I did my change of this using Codestyling Localization. That didn’t work (it worked everywhere but in the subnav). Then I manually created po/mo files and it also worked everywhere but in the subnav. When I did that translation, I created the po using an online po edit (I don’t remember which one, and it certainly didn’t say anything about source keywords).

I’ve now installed a copy of PoEdit on my pc and am working through the file now, with the keyword information mentioned in the link above.

I have a couple additional question though, because I’ve found conflicting information on the internet and following the instructions from the BP documentation doesn’t seem to work right.

The buddypress-en_US.po and buddpress-en_US.mo files need to be in which folder?

The documentation says to put them in /wp-content/languages/plugins/ however, sources I’ve seen elsewhere say to put them in /wp-content/languages/ – currently neither of them work for me, but I’m starting this translation from scratch now and I want to get it right.

Also, does the language define statement in wp-config.php need to be set for this to work? Keep in mind that I’m not doing a full on translation, just this BuddyPress translation to change Friends to Connections.

@henrywright – thanks for the reply. I’m new to BuddyPress and not exactly a “master coder.”

Do you have any suggested resources on where I might find out more about your recommendation? Thanks for any help.

*Update
All my problem solved, except one by adding some codes(i changed Name field to First name-and that being a must to give is okay):
//Removes mentions pane from profile activity (doesn’t remove mention functionality)
function ray_remove_mention_nav() {
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_subnav_item( $bp->activity->slug, ‘mentions’ );
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘ray_remove_mention_nav’, 15 );

add_filter( ‘bp_activity_do_mentions’, ‘__return_false’ );

define( ‘BP_SHOW_DISPLAYNAME_ON_PROFILE’, false );

+ buddypress usernames only plugin

One problem remains only: It now shows the username correctly, but there still is the @ before the name so : @Ortelius
Please help me remove that @ somehow.
Thanks,
Daniel

Actually, this isn’t working right. I prevents any bbPress topic/replies from being posting on activity walls at all (even just the titles). I guess it’s back to the drawing board.

I’m wondering if this might do it – putting a div class around the topic/reply content in the template files of bbPress, and then only hiding this div in BuddyPress. But then I’m thinking it might result in the same issue – nothing topic/replies show in activity wall at all.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

I have a solution for this – although not particularly neat.

I took a copy of the BuddyPress Core Component Widgets and changed all occurrences of bp_core_register_widgets to, in my case, bp_ovni_core_register_widgets, and placed it in the bp-custom.php file. This gave me a new widget that I could place in the side bar instead of the standard (BuddyPress) Log In. This change seems necessary to avoid a re-registration error.

I then edited the action after <?php if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) : ?> to go to my information page instead of the register page. From that page I link to my actual registration page, where the register form is displayed.

It all seems to work for me.

I’m still testing, but I think this does it:

.activity-list li.bbp_topic_create .activity-content .activity-inner, .activity-list li.bbp_reply_create .activity-content .activity-inner {
	display: none !important;
}

It shows bbPress forum titles in BuddyPress activity streams, but not content of the bbPress reply/post. I’m still checking to see if it might cause problems somewhere else, but so far, I don’t see any.

Hope this helps anyone who might need it.

Is there a function that can be used to simply hide a div class, just within BuddyPress?

I think I can easily add an extra div to the content area of all posts in bbPress, and this would allow me to hide the content area of bbPress posts in BuddyPress.

I’ve been searching for such a funtion, and can’t seem to find anything. Thanks for any help.
