Have you set up the permalinks to another option than default ?

Navigation Links Return 404 Errors

Afaik you have to code something yourself. BP use only display_name for activities and @ mentions and bbPress, if active, also.

See all existing _display_name related fn here.

How WP get display_name is related in this topic.

Hi,

see if this tutorial can help you go further:

BuddyPress: Adding Custom Notifications

That’s unfortunately what i expected… GF is a third party premium plugin for which nobody can help you here, except if he/she use that plugin.

If you read here, it’s somehow explained in details.

What you already used (gform_field_value_linkuser), linkuser is a GF field name. If i’m right, see the advanced tab of that field and complete the name parameter.

Here a snippet which let you see how to link a username to his profile, when you’re outside of the member_loop. It will output the current user name on the site wide activity header. For test only.

Note that it use BuddyPress default Name field and that it comes from a BP form. As you use GF, you certainly need to find how to grab properly a GF field value.

Function goes to bp-cutom, may also work in theme’s functions.php

function bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header () {	
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	$profile_url = bp_loggedin_user_domain();

	if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
		return;
	}

	echo '<br>Test userlink:&nbsp;'; 

	if ( !$data = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Name' ) ) : 

		echo xprofile_get_field_data( 'Name', bp_get_member_user_id() ) .'<a href="'. $profile_url .'">'. bp_core_get_username( $user_id ).'</a><br>';

	endif;		

}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'bpfr_my_profile_link_on_SWA_header' ); 

Sorry, I can’t help you more.

I was googling this and came to this thread. Ended taking some hints from it and edited my compose.php to look like this:

 <?php if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) ) : ?>
    <label for="send-to-input"><?php _e("Send To (Username or Friend's Name)", 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
	<ul class="first acfb-holder">
		<li>
			<?php bp_message_get_recipient_tabs(); ?>
			<input type="text" name="send-to-input" class="send-to-input" id="send-to-input" />
		</li>
	</ul>
    <?php else : ?>
    <label for="send-to-input"><?php _e("SEND MESSAGE TO ADMIN", 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
	<ul class="first acfb-holder">
		<li>
			<?php bp_message_get_recipient_tabs(); ?>
			<input type="hidden" name="send-to-input" class="send-to-input" id="send-to-input" value="admin"/>
		</li>
	</ul>
	<?php endif; ?>

Just did some initial testing and it seems to work properly..

Yep ! Use fn bp_is_my_profile()

For ex. something like if ( $blogs && bp_is_my_profile() ) {

Go to your WP pages admin, and change your member page title to Staff instead of Members. Change the slug accordingly.
Ensure the name is unique and that you don’t have any page called members or staff in the trash. If it’s the case, clear it. Go to permalinks settings and click on save. Permalinks option should be whatever except “default”.
Return to BP’s page settings and verify that the Members component page is Staff. If not, select the new page and save.

For any other “member” wording, you have to use buddypress po/mo file, even if you use english on your site.

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

You have to enable multiblog. Read here:

BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG

Give details please: php version, theme name, used plugins.

BuddyPress is member oriented and they’re some rating plugins out for profiles or groups. For pure content like posts or CPT’s, you have to search for some WP plugin on the plugin repository.

Another alternative could myCred, which is made for BP. Inconvenient (if ever), it does much more as only allowing rating.

This is not an issue, but how it works !

The’re only 3 pages to assign when you activate ALL components.

1) members
2) site activity
3) groups

If registering is allowed, you have 2 other pages:
– registering
– activation

Xprofile, Messages, Friends, etc are mostly sub parts of the mandatory Members component/page.
