BuddyPress.org

Having re-looked over your code for bp_activity_add() above, try setting the activity type to new_blog_post

For example:

$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array(	
    'action'            => 'A link from NewsSite', // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
    'content'           => $post_content,        // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"
    'component'         => false,                  // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
    'type'              => new_blog_post,                  // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
    'primary_link'      => 'false',                 // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)
    'user_id'           => bp_loggedin_user_id(),  // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
    'item_id'           => false,                  // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
    'secondary_item_id' => false,                  // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
    'recorded_time'     => bp_core_current_time(), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
    'hide_sitewide'     => false,                  // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
    'is_spam'           => false                  // Is this activity item to be marked as spam?
  ), );

Just an idea, but you could probably create a plugin to inject some javascript and add a button called “Generate Password” on the registration page. When clicked, the JS will generate a password and populate the BuddyPress password fields.

For the JS, you could use something like Chance.js.

Bill, there has been some replies to your ticket.

You’ll probably be interested in this code snippet for now:

BuddyPress does not come bundled with album support. Sounds like you are using a plugin.

Try to duplicate this on a clean install with only BuddyPress. If the notice doesn’t show up any more, it’s an issue with the album plugin.

We’re looking to improve the invite process for BuddyPress 2.3.

I’m going to ping @dcavins, as he will be implementing the invite improvements, so he’s aware of this.

Just to answer your questions:

Notification in the profile window’s (there are 3 notifications: message (1) – friends (1) – but in GROUPS there is no notification).

The “Groups > No Pending Invites” nav item is for invites you have requested. Not invites that are pending for the entire group.

The user (A) has posted in a group wall’s and the user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) hasn’t received notification neither admin toolbar or administration profile windows.

Currently, notifications do not occur for activity comments. We’ll likely add this enhancement into core eventually, but for now, you’ll have to use a plugin for this:

BuddyPress Activity Comment Notifier

The user (A) has opened a forum in a grup. The user (B) has done a comment.
The user (A) has received notification in the administratio toolbar. But when the user (A) has done a comment the user (B) don’t has received the notification.

How did user A reply to user B? On the group activity homepage or on the actual group forum topic? If user A replied on the group forum topic, then this sounds like an issue with bbPress, not BuddyPress.

The problem is Atahualpa adds comments to any WP page with bfa_get_comments() and BuddyPress designates its pages as a WP page.

Follow youmin’s idea. Copy index.php and rename it to buddypress.php and remove the bfa_get_comments() call. This will make sure that comments are not shown on BuddyPress pages.

Hi @lovecoinz

Try asking over at bbPress as the solution you need is more related to that plugin rather than BuddyPress.

Try this ..
Make a blank page and name it to buddypress.Php
And copy only post loop from your page.php, exclude comment codes and paste it to buddypress. Php .

Data is stored in the wp_signups table under the meta column. Data is serialized, so you’ll need to unserialize the data.

Use the this class method – BP_Signup::get():
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.1.1/src/bp-members/bp-members-classes.php#L108

Use it like this:

$signup = BP_Signup::get( array( 'user_login' => USERNAME_YOU_WANT_TO_CHECK ) ) );

Then do a var_dump() of $signup and you should get all the data you need for the user.

Sounds like a bug.

Can you post a ticket here?

@thestylistquo – this sometimes depends on your server settings and your email client’s server settings. One server I run bp on will send wP emails using php that get through my own hosted email server and desktop email client just fine.. however with the default settings on my one server, emails sent by wordpress / buddypress will not make it through to most yahoo gmail email accounts… something about headers not registered or something.. I found a plugin that will force WP to “send mail through smtp” instead of php, which then gets emails through the various anti spm systems that some email hosting providers require…

I found a similar situation with contact form plugins… “fast Secure Contact Form” will not get emails through yahoo email addys (even with tweaking the smptp settings in the plugin) – with my server, however “Contact Form 7” gets emails through to yahoo accounts just fine… what the two different plugins do to modify sent from headers or whatever, I don’t really understand…

Then of course there are server ip blacklists and crap like sorbes that block things.. and even when they get through to my desktop client, sometimes outlook or kaspersky will flag them as spam and push them into my junk mail folder…

Not sure any of these issues are affecting you and your setup, but maybe that info will get you look in the right direction. I forget what gmail and yahoo call that header registering thing or whatever – they have info posted somewhere.

Hi @fab_pj

Whilst I’m not sure about your s2member question and can’t help with a membership plugin recommendation, it’s worth mentioning that BuddyPress will support member types in the upcoming version (2.2). See here for more info on how to use the feature.

I am also waiting for the tutorial for this, plus adding user roles and restricting users capabilities by member types and their assigned roles.
Since buddypress 2.2 is in beta stage most of the devs are playing with this new query so that they can provide error less tutorials and plug ins. So wait till bp 2.2 officially launch. In the top announcement one of the dev has promised for the tutorial .

Hi,
read here please:

A developer will certainly be able to help you with something like this as it isn’t a huge job. Check out the BP Jobs Board, you should be able to find a BP developer there.

Hi @gabsterino

There will most probably be lots in the Plugin Directory but you’ll need to test which are compatible with BuddyPress. WordPress ‘authors’ and BuddyPress ‘members’ are the same fundamentally so compatibility shouldn’t be a problem. But as I say, give them a try before going live.

Hey @tobyhawkins

Can you check if pagination works with the default theme activated (Twenty Fifteen) and all plugins disabled? If you still experience the problem then, I’d suggest opening a ticket on Trac. If the problem goes away then it’s likely to be theme or plugin related.

Yes, I am having same issue as @julianprice reported and it’s in BuddyPress 2.2-beta version.

Have you tried to use BP repair tools ?

Hi @disha76

Check out the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article. The files you need to modify might not be created on your installation – they’re not created by default. You might need to create them yourself. The article will have lots more info on how this can be done.
