BuddyPress.org

Hi @ksmithlondon,

the add friend button on members directory or profile header is styled here
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/css/buddypress.css
line 761

The class=”friendship-button not_friends add” is not used by CSS.

The class name comes up in:
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends/bp-friends-template.php between line 352 > 410

and is also used in wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js:1211

Next time instead of looking and looking and looking, simply search. And use the appropriate tools which will do this for you 😉

Firebug and Notepad++ in this case, taked me less than 5mn. 😉

The code works with BP 2.2
and will better work when in bp-custom.php.
Also don’t forget to logout as site admin before testing it or you will continue to see you ! 😉

Please read here, it’s better explained.

The example given on Codex is related to ‘page’, and you want to show something on ‘activity’.

Instead of 'component_id' => buddypress()->activity->id,
use 'component_id' => 'activity',
and instead of
add_action( 'bp_init', 'customize_page_tracking_args' );
use init with a very late priority
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 999 );

Pfuiiiiii, taked me a while to find this.

Here a working example of a CPT called Music and how to get it in the SWA

// allow tracking of our CPT
add_post_type_support( 'music', 'buddypress-activity' );

// creating the dropdown filter on activity and members page
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return;
    }
 
    bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'music', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity', // unique ID
        'action_id'                => 'new_music', // new_$post_type where new_ is mandatory
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'Published a new music', 'text-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
			'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ), // swa & member activity page
			'activity_comment'         => true,
			'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>', 'text-domain' ),
			'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s posted a new <a href="%2$s">Music</a>, on the site %3$s', 'text-domain' ),
			'position'                 => 100,
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 999 );

// creating the CPT
function bpfr_create_post_type() {
  register_post_type( 'music',
    array(
      'labels' => array(
        'name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' ),
        'singular_name' => __( 'Music', 'text-domain' )
      ),
      'public' => true,
      'has_archive' => true,
    )
  );
}
add_action( 'init', 'bpfr_create_post_type' );

FYI, i added the mentionned topic to the Codex page. Would probably help more than one. 😉

@car1979
Not sure if that code still works but you could place it in bp-custom.php:

bp-custom.php

or in your themes functions.php

Is not Buddypress Registration same as WordPress Registration?
Thanks.

Actually you have a single install with BuddyPress with N members and activities.

Nothing will be deleted if you activate the site as network.

That said it’s strongly recommended to dump your DB before doing this.

For a better overview of the DB, see here
The BP tables are the same on MS as on a single install, and WP adds only new tables for each blog and only if you create one at least.

WP’s user table stays intact in any case, like bp activities and others related to members (profile, message and so on).

Hi,

first off, check your permalinks and choose one of the option EXCEPT default. Then deactivate the current theme and make a test with one of the Twenty’s.

If it’s ok with standart setup, revert to your theme and see if it works now.

If not, try the patch mentionned on this topic
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-conditional-tags-are-not-being-respected-in-genesis/#post-235182

Welcome to the buddypress debug club ! Please open a ticket and give details about your install and any step to reproduce the issue. Add also a link to this topic.

Go here and use same login as on this forum.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

If you don’t know how to post a ticket on a wiki page, read here first.

Sorry but i’m unable to reproduce that. I don’t have notices or warning about this issue.

Can’t you make a test with the trunk version ? (direct link to zip – BuddyPress is in the src folder)

hi @daethian,

if you’re using BP 2.2, don’t use the “old” bp-default theme.

If you have FTP access, your wordpress should be at the site root if you want to use BuddyPress. If it’s you who created the /wp/ folder and if you haven’t any other site on the same account you don’t need it. Install wordpress directly at the root ! Mostly in a folder named www or htdocs (ie. htdocs/wp-admin, htdocs/wp-content/, htdocs/wp-include/)

But let’s say it’s correct for now.

Connect to your site and go to admin
On WP dashboard> General ensure you entered WP URL and site URL correctly (hxxp://your-site.xxx) without trailing slash (normally the same URL)
Then dashboard > Appearence>Theme and activate Twenty Fifteen
Then dashboard > Settings > Permalinks > anything but default
Then dashboard > plugins and deactivate/reactivate BuddyPress
Then dashboard > Appearence > Menu > screen option (top right), check buddypress and add the BP menu to Twenty 15

See if it works.

If not, you’ll have to setup WP correctly at first.
Return to FTP, move WP to the root, erase htaccess and wp-config and restart the installation

your-site.xxx/install
Re enter your DB name, psw and all other information needed for installing WP.
Your DB and actual content won’t be erased (but you can make a dump before, in case of).

5mn install later, you are invited to login. And you have to do what i’ve explained previously.

Wow stunning ! Are you on a local server ? MS or single install ?

Could be that something went wrong during upload.
Erase the BP folder and add a new copy.

And remove your theme from the theme directory while testing with Twenty.

hi @ksmithlondon

please give details…

Which plugin are you using ? Where does the msg show ? Front, backend, both ?

This is usually handled with a language file or using CSS display:none;

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

I don’t know BuddyPress forum (v 2.2).

Installing and using bbPress forum plugin is explained here:

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

@mention is explained here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/template-updates-2-1/

@rosyteddy,

snippets published on the forum are generally related to a specific topic/question. And of course, dependant of theme and/or bp version, if not php or mysql or server settings. Over the time, they stop working or can’t be used anymore because the Core changed or because of other evolutions….

Despite having a kind of snippet store accessible by forum menu seems to be a usefull idea, it is not. Each usage case is different and can not be extended to all case. FYI information, i had the same idea a few years back, and was quickly discouraged to do so by our Core dev. I was first disapointed, but i finally had to admit they where right. And today, i’m absolutely persuaded and on the same line.

That’s why you have Codexes. For WP, BP or bbP with general explanation of default usage and more rarely, with usage examples. If you find a snippet example in Codex, in 95% of cases, you have to adapt it to your personnal usage.

To answer your question, as you know, BuddyPress is (only) a WordPress plugin. When installed, the site continue to work with WordPress and WP dashboard. Nothing is modified in WP Core, only that BP was added to the site. As a plugin.

How to handle WordPress is explained and widly documented in his Codex.
Menu management, CPT management or how to modify menu items on Toolbar or Admin bar is also documented. And the’re so many sites giving WP tips (from excellent to awfull), you can read.

What do your WP settings page ‘general’ show for urls, specifically ‘Site Address (url)’? Did you check the values here after the change over?

WP codex guide on this aspect:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Did you also visit the permalinks page under ‘settings’, just to ensure permalinks are re-freshed?

This is really a WP support issue as the problems rest with how WP is configured rather than issues specific to BuddyPress working.

@alice-kaye
Go to dashboard/menus and in the top right corner click screen options and make sure the box beside buddypress is checked. Once checked you will see the options to add buddypress items in the edit menus tab. Good luck!

Did you read here ?

@marketraisen,

the original code is %s posted an update
To modify this the right way, you have to use the language file and an appropriate compilator such as poEdit to generate the mo file.

Don’t know what solution you didn’t found, guess you have to search this forum for translation related topics.

A very dirty solution would be to use this snippet and add it to your child-theme functions.php

function marketraisen_change_bp_update_text( $translated, $original_text, $domain ) {
		
	if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
	return $translated; 
	
	switch ( $original_text ) {
		case '%s posted an update':
		return '%s posted on';
				
		default:
		return $translated;
	}
}
add_filter( 'gettext', 'marketraisen_change_bp_update_text', 10, 3 );
