BuddyPress.org

Thanks, but how to fix it not touching buddypress files, I tried use remove_filter in functions.php of theme but it doesn’t work – http://pastebin.com/mgRe4e2Q

I don’t think it’s an issue, but more a latency thing. The search field can be lame sometimes.

Looking for John Doe.
You search John = ok
You search Doe = ok

Doe is still in the search box. You add John after to search: Doe Joe.
Result: nothing because the user is registered as John Doe

Same if you enter to rapidly search terms: johndoe This brings nothing.

Ensure that you entered correctly the terms. And test with one of WP’s default theme if you use a third party theme.
If you have some other plugin it can be possible there is a JS conflict somewhere, but imho, no as a single term search works.

More a PBCK issue for now.

If you need absolutely this functionnality to work at 200%, perhaps try one of these plugins:

Hi @iamsickofusernames

Check first WordPress Settings: Dashboard > Settings > Comments
then BuddyPress Settings. Dashboard > Settings > BuddyPress > Options tab > Activity Option

If you need more specific settings, you could add more conditionnals to this snippet. Eg.
if( !is_user_logged_in() ) | if($can_comment == true) etc

Hi @simonmnt,

you should create a correct child-theme to get BP templates customization to work.

First, you need to declare the child via /your-child/style.css with the correct header information.
Eg. for a twenty fourteen child

/*
Theme Name: Fourteen-Child
Description: My child theme for Twenty Fourteen
Version: 1.0
Author: simon
Template: twentyfourteen
*/

@import url("../twentyfourteen/style.css");

Once done, you can select this child as site theme.

Now you can add a /buddypress/ folder to /your-child/

Inside this folder, you copy any file you need to modify from /bp-legacy/buddypress/

You copy only the file(not the whole /bp-legacy/buddypress/ folder) you want to change, by respecting eventually the original path. Eg
.
/your-child/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php

If you need custom functions for the theme, you add a file called functions.php inside /your-child/functions.php

If you need custom functions for BuddyPress (like most of the snippets you can find on this forum), you add them to wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php

Resolved an error in Courses:

Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Groups_Group’ not found in /path-to-project/wp-content/themes/lms/framework/buddypress/metaboxes.php on line 15

A friend of mine – CMS developer – took a look at this and advised to just check User Groups at BuddyPress settings page (http://your.site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-components)

Have a nice day to all.

Thanks for the debug help, @tse11.

One of your plugins (or yourself) is using this code snippet:
add_filter( 'bp_use_legacy_activity_query', '__return_true' );

This made our strict activity permalink access check fail.

I believe the following patch will fix your problem:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7146/7146.01.patch

Can you confirm?

@metaverso – Can you revert your changes and try my fix?
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7140/7140.01.patch

If that doesn’t work for you, can you tell me what BP plugins you are using?

my fix:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_get_current_group_id() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/classes/class-bp-group-extension.php on line 488

Hi, thank you for trying to help.

This is for all users, it isn’t specific to a particular member type or activity item either.

A member goes to the activity feed, he wants to click on an activity item, the item redirects to the user’s own activity profile page with a bar across the top (the buddypress notification,) stating, “You do not have access to this activity.”

I am not using an object cache plugin.

– BuddyPress pages have all an ID.
– BP pages are not ordinary static WordPress page, but dynamic pages, a kind of placeholder. They have no content and are only existing to have a slug (and a ID for DB magement) for WP/BP dialog.
Eg. your-site/activity/ URL is empty when you deactivate BP.

Let’s continue with the activity page as example.

This “page” is made of different parts, which are contextually loaded on their own template. Use the activity filter to see what is all coming up on the (url/activity/) page. About 10 items which would be 10 real pages on a WP site without BP ! And that’s just default. Many plugins use also BP’s activity…

For each component, there is a loop. As long as you are in such a loop, you can call what ever belong to that component from inside this loop. And for almost each loop, you have a template.

If you want the About page (default WP page) to show up on a profile, you load it on one of the profile templates, but not on the BP member page which is the “page” who host “profiles”, but also the “member director”y. And you don’t want About apearing there, isn’t it ? 😉

If you read the codex about theme develoment and template hierarchy, you may understand how all this is articulated.

@airsid

…but it is a simple code to add a widget !
Don’t take it wrong, we all started a day to learn. Like you, i’m not a coder. But the widget coding is a WP thing, explained on the codex page i indicated.

You say you didn’t understand what is written on codex. What would be if i give you some code if you don’t understand a text ? Try again. And while learning step by step, read also BP’s codex about templates.

Once you feel more confortable, after some experimentation and errors, come back for BuddyPress related questions. 🙂

@Earl_D: No. The above snippets are added to a custom version of the buddypress/members/single/messages/compose.php file. Basically, if you add this file to your theme (following the structure buddypress/members/single/messages/), it will be used in preference to the one BuddyPress ships with.

How to Create A Custom BuddyPress Members Directory

Use BuddyPress repair tool to recalculate members.

BuddyPress Repair Tools Admin Screen

i want that it should work for activities on the same website? Is it possible?

BuddyPress features are generally designed to work inside BuddyPress. 😉
I guess it is possible. Because it was made for !

Follow Ray’s advice…

@daltontastic,

color buttons are TinyMCE tools and not html tags. The only way to get them would be to use the editor toolbar.

Here a scenario you could use:
– create a child-theme and add post-form.php to it (copy from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddyPress/activity/post-form.php).
Result: your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

In that file, go to line:40 where textarea start.
Inser this action hook:

<?php if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
	<?php do_action( 'blablabla' ); ?>
<?php endif ?>

Then add this <?php if ( ! bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
<textarea class="bp-suggestions"......bla...bla...</textarea>
and add <?php endif ?> after the textarea closing tag.

This contionnals will show a custom area for the desired group and prevent update area to appear on all other groups home pages.

So if a user is member of different groups, he will get a texteditor for group_id 13 and the normal update area on all others.

The custom template is ready. Now the fonctions we need.

Open bp-custom.php (or create it) and paste in those snippets.

Adding the texteditor:

function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
	// deactivation of the visual tab, so user can't play with style tools
//add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ) , 50 );

$content = "";

	// building the what's new textarea
	if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
	$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); 
	endif;

	// adding tinymce tools
	$editor_id = 'whats-new';

	$settings = array( 
			'textarea_name' => 'whats-new', 
			'teeny' => false, 
			'media_buttons' => true, 
			'drag_drop_upload' => true, 
			'quicktags' => array(
			'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close'
		));	 
	
	// get the editor	
	wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );

A simple function who add the original textarea for users who are group members, but not allowed to rich edit.

function my_textarea() { ?>
			<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
				<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
			><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>
<?php
}

And the last one, where you set up the group allowed to publish updates using edit tools.

function trotro() {

if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) :

$check = groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() );
$check_group = bp_get_group_id(); 

	if ($check != 0 && $check_group == 21 && 'leon' == bp_current_item() ){
		echo 'Wow! You can rich edit in this group.';
			bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor();
	} else {
		echo 'Sorry, you cannot rich edit in this group';
		my_textarea();
	}

endif;
}
add_action( 'blablabla', 'trotro' );

Now, any member which is part of the group leon, group id 23 can publish updates and use the color picker and all other things which are on the edit bar.

Only thing you have to do is to adjust leon and id to your rules.

Successfully tested on 2.6 and 2016.

May this help you to go further with your BuddyPress project. 🙂
