BuddyPress.org

This is the code I added at line 278 in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/lib/class_bpfb_binder.php to create the action. The credit for this code is @Juanma in WordPress.org forum. (couldn’t find the original thread). In this case I’m creating an action for images upload.

function ajax_update_activity_contents () {
  $bpfb_code = $activity = '';
  $aid = 0;
  $codec = new BpfbCodec;
  if (@$_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']) {
    $images = $this->move_images($_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']);
    $bpfb_code = $codec->create_images_tag($images);
    $type = 'bpfb_share_wall_photos';
  }

  $bpfb_code = apply_filters('bpfb_code_before_save', $bpfb_code);

  // All done creating tags. Now, save the code
  $gid = (int)@$_POST['group_id'];
  if ($bpfb_code) {
    global $bp;
    $content = @$_POST['content'] . "\n" . $bpfb_code;
    $content = apply_filters('bp_activity_post_update_content', $content);
    $user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

    $author = bp_core_get_userlink( $author_id );
    $activity_url = bp_activity_get_permalink( $item_id );

    $aid = $gid ?
      groups_post_update(array('conte nt' => $content, 'group_id' => $gid)) : 
      bp_activity_add(
        array(
          'action' => apply_filters( 'activity_update', sprintf( __( '%s shared a link', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
          'content' => $content,
          'component' => 'activity',
          'type' => $type,
          'user_id' => $user_id
        )
      );
      if ($aid) {
			ob_start();
			if ( bp_has_activities ( 'include=' . $aid ) ) {
				while ( bp_activities() ) {
					bp_the_activity();
					if (function_exists('bp_locate_template')) bp_locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
					else locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
				}
			}
			$activity = ob_get_clean();
		}
		header('Content-type: application/json');
		echo json_encode(array(
			'code' => $bpfb_code,
			'id' => $aid,
			'activity' => $activity,
		));
		exit();
	}
}

And this is the code that works for activity stream. It shows just the activities with this action, but when you click the ‘load more’ button it loads the regular stream.
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=bpfb_share_wall_photos') ) : ?>

Hello @ARCangelGIRL, I’m facing the same situation and @shanebp solution worked for displaying the action I wanted in the activity stream. But the Load More button is loading all the actions, not just the one I created. I tried to filter the bp ajax querystring in many different ways but it didn’t work. The last try was this https://buddypress.org/support/topic/simply-trying-to-filter-the-bp_ajax_querystring-via-ajax/ .

Then you could search on those types like so:
bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=video_category' )
More info: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/#filtering-examples

I have add 2 new columns in activity mysql table “video_category” and “video_subcategory”.

Adding new columns is not a good approach.

Did you try adding your ‘categories’ as a type via
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_activity_add/ ?

it would be incredibly helpful to add dividers or typographical rules/hierarchy to the buddypress.org documentation ‘subpages’ panel

And that is exactly the sort of thing that is being worked on as part of the codex initiative, you can see what is proposed by following posts on bpdevel, the BP development blog. It does take time to get changes, even to this degree, tested and pushed up to the production site, bp.org is actually a more complex site setup than might be realised and it’s codebase handles all the BP and bbP sites and access is very limited to these sites as they run on WP servers and time is quite tight for the lead developers.

BP Trac has a current ticket and patches addressing a few issues one of which is the Codex page menu to both introduce a sectional page menu and typographical styles to denote parent/child links so things are clearer

@timrourke
I agree that it should be easier to find and should be very obvious. New visitors on buddypress.org probably won’t realize that you have to hover over the “BuddyPress.org” link to the left of the “My Sites” link to find the “Create New Topic”link. Hopefully in the future this will be changed.

Hi. I’m having the same problem. Unfortunately I’m not too experienced at this stuff so most of the fixes suggested are over my head. Any simpler explanations??? I’m using buddypress with wplms theme. I’ve set the registration page to register with wplms. Thanks so much!

Please, don’t mention a user without a link to what you’re speaking about.

There is no specific donation plugin for BP so far i know. You can of course try some of the existing for WordPress, but i’ve no idea if one of them integrates well.

Maybe an alternative solution with myCred, who is adapted to BuddyPress and has such a feature.

How will the ‘tags’ be used?
As the basis for filtering members?
Or just as ‘notes’ about each member?

If the former, see the BP_User_Query codex page.

If the latter, you could use this premium plugin: BuddyNotes

Or you could simply create template overloads of these 2 files:

buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\profile-loop.php
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\profile\edit.php

And check the fields via their id or name and then decide, based on who the logged-in user is, whether the fields should be displayed.

Hi thanks for the confirmation @emineminero here are few suggestions:
1) As you have multisite the 1st thing i would like to suggest you is to go through the following guide
2) Make sure your permalink structure is set to sitename.com/sample-post-name even if its set to as suggested try to rebuild it(for doing this just goto dashboard>>settings>>permalinks and simply save the permalink structure one more time)
3) I think the issue is related to this thread and may be you will find something productive there.
Note: Make sure you have set the pages for registration and activate in dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab the pages are needed to be created,just create two pages and name them “register” and “activate” respectively and then set them from dashboard>>settings>>buddypress>>pages tab
Clear browser cache and check for the changes.
Thanks

Thanks Renato! I still have an issue with having so many features to our BuddyPress site that a staged site test is not likely to truly weigh the impact of high user activity navigating our many features. But yes, absolutely, it is the proper first step, I agree!

Take also in mind that BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.

FYI, about the first point

buddypress probably does not support sites in non-root folders.

It’s not probably, but sure ! 😉

This is indicated on the requirement codex page

Anyway, glad you got it and thank you for sharing the solution. 😉

Hello – thanks for the thread @julianprice … and I hope my input here is useful as well. I’m a longtime WP admin but also administering our first BP site. I’m wondering if BuddyPress aficionados with critical sites recommend holding off on WP 4.1 a couple of weeks to observe compatibility conflicts before upgrading WP to 4.1? Would we consider that a best practice?

I realize a staging site is useful as well, but my challenge is thorough testing on a staged site, which I’m sure other BP admins can relate to.

Thanks to great WP/BP community for all the hard work and cooperation.

Hi @ggalipeau I have limited knowledge to help you in particular but thought I would point you to the codex article https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/ which shows it recently updated 3 days ago

hi,

in addition you can also look here for more details:

BuddyPress Database Diagram

@shivam-kumar
Thanks for the link and for creating the how-to.

Hi @mmaccou my site was also suffering from the same issue until few days back but one of the way by which i prevented the fake account registrations on my site is by putting minimum allowed character restrictions on my registration form input fields you can read a small howto and details on it from here
I hope it helps
Thanks

I do not see how to create a new topic and this is as close to being related to the issue I am experiencing….

This would be an easy solution until BuddyPress has resolved the issue of verifying the new email.

With Buddypress 2.1, when a person changes their email address, it does send an email. However when the verification link is clicked, it still gives the pending change message… Also, I have noticed that it gives two different emails. The first is the new one set and the second says to check the email of the old email address….

Like this:

There is a pending change of your email address to
ryan@redesignexxxxeb.com
.
Check your email (
ryanxxxxx@gmail.com
) for the verification link. Cancel
