For readers curious about the answer, autoembed does not run on meta items unless the dev runs it manually themselves ( @r-a-y ).

More details on BuddyPress Slack.

Hi Julia,

it’s a bbPress bug, patched a while ago, but still in. Maybe a day it will be repaired definetly.

For the moment, you can repair yourself. Open activity.php in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/extend/buddypress/

Replace following code block at line 277/279:

$existing = bp_activity_get_specific( array( 'activity_ids' => $activity_id, 'show_hidden' => true, 'spam' => 'all', ) );
if ( empty( $existing['total'] ) || ( 1 !== (int) $existing['total'] ) )
return null;

by

$existing = new BP_Activity_Activity( $activity_id );
if ( empty( $existing->component ) ) {
return null;
}

Save and reload to to your site by FTP and you’re done.

Private group options are

1. Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
2. This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
3. Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.

To modify option 3, you can code something.
Read from here.

Some details perhaps ?

Groups

Hi @famous,

anything directly related to URL for bp is listed here:
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=l&search=url

In most case, you can built a link by array, which generally extend pre existing parameters. It’s very variable and depend where and how the link shoud work.

Here some exemple snippets to add a link to a member’s profile.

/* add external link on buddy menu bar */
function bpfr_menubar_link() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

$link = bp_get_loggedin_user_link();

	$bp->bp_nav[$slug] = array(
			'name'                    => 'View my profile',
			'slug'                    => 'super_link',
			'link'                    => $link,
			'css_id'                  => 'super-link',	
			'position'                => 20
		);
}
add_action( 'bp_core_new_nav_item', 'bpfr_menubar_link', 999 );

/* link to profile on SWA page */
function goto_my_profile_tab() {
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

  if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

    echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';
  
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // SWA page
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // members directory page

/* shortcode linking to profile [xyz] */
function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	
return '<a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'xyz', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );

Another technique for groups here.

In hope this will help you to go further.

There is also a free plugin at http://www.buddyboss.com/purchase/buddypress-auto-group-join/ if that helps.

that’s correct, BuddyPress filters the the_content of a BP page so anything you add to the content editor will not show. BuddyPress uses your themes page.php for all its pages so its kind moot to add content in the editor unless its something to display site wide. You are better off hooking to bp template hooks to display extra content on specific pages.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am now testing it on my developer site. Also noticed problems with BuddyPress after restoring via VaultPress to my developer site. I got this error:

require(): Failed opening required 'Xd#�F+' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php70/pear') in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-classes.php on line 14

and

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 549755814048 bytes) in /home/****/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/classes/class-bp-component.php on line 370

So it seems that BuddyPress needs to be updated for PHP 7.0.6+

Best regards,
Michael
