BuddyPress.org

Have a look at this.

This provides a way to upload profile pic during registration, but doesn’t force users to upload.
You can probably tweak the plugin to achieve that, although i am not sure how easy that’ll be.

To add javascript to any page, you can put it in any of your theme’s javascript files.

To do layout changes you’ll need an understanding of BuddPress Templates Hierarchy and css customizations.

fields assigned with the URL type – they never show up once data is entered.

Must be something in your theme/plugins. It works by default.

text fields – data entered is being displayed with links added to words and phrases, linking to them as members.

Yeah buddypress does it deliberately. The purpose is to show/search all members who have entered same value in any of the fields.
You can disable it by adding following line of code in bp-custom.php or in your theme’s functions.php:
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );

1. If your theme already has register.php template file, go step 2 directly.
   If not, copy file plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php to themes\your-theme\buddypress\members\register.php
2. Open register.php file and find following code:

   <?php do_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>
   
   <div class="submit">
   	<input type="submit" name="signup_submit" id="signup_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Complete Sign Up', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
   </div>
   
   <?php do_action( 'bp_after_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>

   Move this code block to just before the line which says </div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

That should do it.

@bphelp does this also stop public groups from displaying in your activity stream if you are not a member too?

the reason i ask you this bphelp is because remember the old plugin you was working on (i think it was a fork of some code rich fuller posted a few years ago) which was named “activity-privacy-component” ? you left it on github and described it as a jurrasic plugin because of the new plugin “buddypress activity privacy plugin”.

Well that very same “Jurrasic plugin” still works very well today and is still far far far more superior at keeping your stream private compared to the plugin you said was better.

The only one thing that the old “activity-privacy-component” plugin doesnt do is keep the public groups you are not a member of from out of your private stream.

Until the core devs gets this worked out you can use shanebp ‘s solution here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-friendsyou-in-activity-feed-has-solution-been-found/
It works with the latest WP/BP just keep in mind the admin can still see all activity and subscribers can also see the admins activity but subscribers will only see activity of other subcribers that are friends and the admins. Make sure you copy the folder:
your-site\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy to your themes root then go to your-site\wp-content\themes\YOUR-THEME\buddypress\activity\activity-loop.php to make the edit.
Good luck! 🙂

Hi @chatty24

This is currently being worked on by the core developers. See this ticket for progress.

Being able to create a group without logging in is more than ‘clever’.
There have been a few similar reports over the last couple of years – always specific to groups – suggesting that there is a ‘hole’ somewhere, maybe in BP.

I don’t know what the solution is and have been unable to replicate the problem.

@leighgregg
What version of WP and BP are you using?
Are you using any additional plugins or code re BP Groups?

There was an issue that was fixed for BP 2.2

Not sure if this related but I can’t set the register and activate fields when I have s2member active.
If I disable the s2member plugin – the buddypress fields for register and activate are filled in again.

What I would like ideally is that s2member does not interfere with the current login / register set up just gives me an option to add paid levels inside the membership loggedin area.

Is this a set up issue or is it a related bug?

Thanks a lot @gina yes we need to test this fix on 2.2.0 so you’ll need to backup your database (and wp-content files just in case) and upgrade again. Once done paste the script in a bp-custom.php file you will put in your plugins directory. The test patch will only be run If BuddyPress 2.2 is activated. If it’s fixing the issue with invite anyone you can choose to keep it till 2.2.1 is released or If you are afraid to Forget to remove it by then, revert once again to 2.1.1.

This might be helpful. You can go through and change every instance of the word Messages to Mail using a language file.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

BuddyPress is only a plugin you can use with almost any correctly formated theme.

See here how you have to do this:

Hi,

ever heard about html and CSS ?
Go to your profile, check the source code of that page and you will see how it’s made.
If you use your browser web developpers tools you can check more indeep.

If you like to learn, you can read the codex about theming.
If all this is already right for you, you can go to bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/and grab the appropriate template file, in occurence member-header.php

Ans to make this work correctly, you have to create a child-theme first.

For much more details, Codex is your friend.

The activity loop is in the template. And the file you can edit doesn’t exist.

In fact it exist, but you have to make a copy of it first, make your modification and add the copied file to your child-theme.

Be warned 😉 : if you modify the original file, the modification will be lost at the next update of BP.

The concerned file is /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/activity/activity-loop.php
Inside that file you will see what is explained on the codex page i indicated you previously.

All the other points are also explained on the codex.

Would be better if there was an option in the Admin section

Do you imagine the number of settings which would be necessary to fit all existing and upcoming use cases ? Even our spumoni dudes devs haven’t implemented a pizza oven yet ! 😀

Would be better if there was an option in the Admin section (BuddyPress settings) in which admins could just select Activity permissions.

hi @melle328, @milenushka

i opened a ticket about that issue. Feel free to connect to Trac and give your feedback.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6202

To login, use same credentials as on this ofrum.

@djpaul If you can integrate p2 theme for buddypress maybe efforts at re-inventing wheels can be spared. p2 has a status box that can post single or multiple images as well create albums (galleries) from the status text area box (which also lets you post blog from front end)

This should be fixed in 2.2. What version of BuddyPress are you all using?

Apologies for the widget styling.

You can apply the following patch for a temporary fix until we issue 2.2.1:
