Please do not double post.

Hi @deshmukh

• You can add items to the activity stream using bp_activity_add(). You’d write a custom function and hook it to the relevant action which fires when a group message has been posted (see a)
• The display_comments parameter will help you here. You’ll need to change threaded to stream (see b)

Hi @mastodontmedia

You’ll need to modify your members template. Check out the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy for more info on the template system.

To show a specific profile field inside the loop, you can just do: bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name' );

I guess something is not translated, but in this case, the email text should come in english.

If yo use an “old” translation from a previous version, it is possible that something is missing in your translation.

After checking both portugese version on GlotPress, (pt_PT and pt_BR) it appears that pt_PT is not translated for 2.1.x and to 38% for pt_PT in the dev version – the one actualy used by BP 2.1.1

If you use an email plugin, ensure it is matching with WP’s mail action. Or if your theme has is own mail function, check that he uses the same wording as BP (and particulary the $s var) who fires the link.

Code in 2.1.1 looks like this

Nothing in BP core, you can try this plugin http://buddydev.com/plugins/conditional-profile-fields-for-buddypress/

Since BuddyPress 2.0.0 you can use this in bp-custom.php

function namrons_activity_nocomment( $can_comment = true, $type = '' ) {
        if ( empty( $can_comment ) ) {
                return $can_comment;
        }
 
        // activities which can't be commented
        $cant_comment_types = array( 
				'new_forum_topic' => 1,
				'new_forum_post' => 1,
        );
 
        return ! isset( $cant_comment_types[ $type ] );
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_can_comment', 'namrons_activity_nocomment', 10, 2 );

Hi Christian,
no problem. If you decide to not use it again, you can use my plugin BuddyPress notification widget in that case.

About the notice plugin,
I will write the code tonight and put on github and link here.
Thanks

@wadsworth4 @danbp Reported the Twenty Fifteen issue https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6107

Hi Christian,
There is one functionality in BuddyPress that allows it. You can see the feature as site wide notice(Mark a message as notice).

The problem is currently, only a user with the capability ‘bp_moderate’ can send the notice. Do you want to allow this notification feature for all users or just selected few?

Hi @fptquangngai,

I am assuming you are referring to the name shown in the screenshot below:

This name you want to change is coming from the line bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ); in the snippet you provided, which is part of the bp_message_get_recipient_tabs() function defined in the BuddyPress plugin under bp-members > admin > bp-members-functions.php.

It seems there are two things you can do here:

1. You can replace the bp_core_get_userlink() function in the message template (located at wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\messages\compose.php) with your own custom function. See BuddyPress Codex for how to properly do this.

OR

2. Create a filter.

Since the bp_core_get_userlink() function uses the ‘bp_core_get_userlink’ filter for the returned value, you can hook into this filter and modify it in your theme’s functions.php file (or your own custom plugin). The only problem is that since the bp_core_get_userlink() function is used in other parts of the code (notably the BuddyPress Login Widget), you will have to make it so that the custom filter is used only under certain conditions.

Here is the custom filter I came up with. Its not refined, but serves as a working example:

add_filter( 'bp_core_get_userlink', 'my_bp_filter', 10, 2 );
function my_bp_filter( $string, $user_id ){  
    global $pagename;
    if ( isset( $_GET['r']) && $pagename === 'compose' ){
        $username = bp_core_get_username( $user_id );
        if ( $_GET['r'] === $username ) {
            $string = explode(' ', $string);
            $string = $string[0]. ' '. $string[1]. 'Alt="' . $username . '">'. $username . '</a>';
        }
    }
    return $string;
}

@number_6 @sbrajesh Thank you for the report. https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6180 🙂

Hi,
the problem is that currently the pagination links are broken.
for example if you put the page number manually like this
https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/?ppage=5
It will work. After the second page, the pagination is broken .

I am not sure if the moderators, developers are aware.

Hi,
It is a bug with BuddyPress and there is still an open ticket for the purpose.
You can see the details here

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5087

and here
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5643

At the moment, there does not seem to be a solution. The problem is that query variable ‘s’ is used for Normal WordPress search as well as BuddyPress activity search too. So, When BuddyPress activity is set as home page, the wordpress search query( which is like sitename/?s=someterm) is mistaken for BuddyPress activity search and gets handled by BuddyPress causing the trouble.

It will need some work on the way BuddyPress catches url(I am hoping that). let us hope that it makes to the core soon.

Don’t know how to do that, but you could add extra fields to your Buddypress profiles to achieve a similar outcome.
