@namrons,

FYI – bp 1.2: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1909

Also some other tickets about private content and visibility:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/search?q=private+activities

the last activity of the member you’re asking was 1 year, 11 mounth ago.
and BuddyPress is now on 2.0 cycle.

Post is now closed.

As mentionned on the plugin support, a discussion about this problem startd also on this ofrum.

But be aware that you’re here on a BuddyPress support forum, so don’t expect an integration of the plugin from here. Only the plugin author could do this, and you have to ask him if he want to do this. (even if he isn’t very confident with BP).

So we can only give you here some raw hints and workarounds.

I’m closing this post and invite anybody interrested to continue the discussion on this topic.

hi @canadadre,

already asked and answered many times.
https://buddypress.org/support/search/Hide+Admin/

And the most recent answer with a partial solution is here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/overwrite-whos-online-widget-theme/

Partial means you have to complete the work, by using the same method, as the given example concern only one core widget, and not the 2 other (the 4th is the registration widget).

@lmolenje,

BuddyPress works together with the bbPress plugin when you use a forum.

If you want to add an extra button or a link or whatever, you simply check for the hook you want to use in one of the bbPress template files (bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/…) and attach a custom function to it.

As example of use, this snippet will add some text above the topic editor. You add it into your child theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php

function my_test_insert() {
	echo '<strong>My awesome <a href="#">link</a> to third party app</strong>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_notices', 'my_test_insert' );

If you don’t understand what’s going on on this topic, here’s a brief tutorial about hooks and filters.

Hi @bloodslayer

wp_insert_post() is a function provided by WordPress which lets developers add pages to the database without the need to access the WP admin area.

So, as an example, you could use it like this:

$post = array(
    'post_content' => 'This is some content',
    'post_name' => 'this-is-the-page-slug',
    'post_title' => 'I am the title of this page',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_excerpt' => 'This is the excerpt'
);

$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );

Notes: $post_id will be the ID of the new page or if wp_insert_post() failed (for whatever reason) it will be 0.

So that’s how you create a new page programmatically. It’s more of a WordPress thing than a BuddyPress thing.

In bp-custom.php, paste this:

remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );

Info re bp-custom.php

@namrons,

can you provide the theme name please ?
Private groups activities is not public, until YOU are logged in. As a member of a private group you see those activities.

If it is not displaying correctly, maybe try to activate 2013 or 2014 theme. Could also be a cookie issue: when you see “my groups” you are on your profile. It is not the same loop as for the group activity, at first. Reviewing your blog settings maybe usefull too. Or seeking for JS errors on the one or other page ?

Another thing to consider is explained here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/blog-comments-not-appearing-in-activity-stream/

@lmolenje,

click click click ! But what should this button do ? Usually, a topic relates to a forum, and a BuddyPress forum is the bbPres plugin.

Give better details, please ! 😉

@natb19,

you jumped in a post started over 4 years ago ! Do you really expect to reuse a snippet given over 3 years back, without having any issue ?

Big changes came up between BP 1.0 and 2.0.2. The most change is that Notification is now a component and not a simple functionnality.

Please open a new topic or give a try to
BuddyPress Notification Manager. A bit old too, but it is already working with current BP.

@bea107,

In addition to @hnla & @henrywright, you also used a wrong function name !

Original name is function bp_core_get_last_activity

Custom name is function bea107_core_get_last_activity.
This is the function you should use.

Re-read the codex about function.php and specially the last lines marked It’s important to note

Have you also activated some BP components, and assigned a page to register and activation ?

@hk12onos Did you ever manage to fix this? I know it’s an old post but I have the identical issue when commenting on updates of a private group. I’ve tried it on various themes/versions of WordPress/versions of Buddypress and I get the same result.

@csimpson,

oh crossposting ! haven’t seen henry’s answer.

nobody visibility doesn’t exist. This setting is called “only me“. This means that only the member can see this field – and the site admins. Such fields are not for site admins, but for the members !

I don’t really understand what is not working for you, as what you’re looking for doesn’t exist in BuddyPress. Sorry if i’m misunderstanding you.

When you create such a field visibility, you should also set “Enforce the default visibility for all members“, so the member cannot modify it later on his profile settings.

Little weird side effect, when a “only me” field is used and member A wrote hello, this word becames clickabke, by default. When member B write also hello, it becames also clickable. And if A or B clcik on Hello, it shows a list of all members who wrote the same word. In this case A and B !

Not really confidential, isn’t it ? The solution is to remove the clickable link.
Here’s a snippet which let you do that selectively.

function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) {
    // Access the field you are going to display value.
    global $field;
	
    // In this array you write the ids of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2,9,54); // field ID separated by comma
	
    // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link.
    if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids))
	return $field_value;

	if ( 'datebox' == $field_type )
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )
	return $field_value;
	
	$values = explode( ',', $field_value );

	if ( !empty( $values ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) {
			$value = trim( $value );
			
			// If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable.
			if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) {
				$new_values[] = make_clickable( $value );
				
				// Is not clickable
			} else {
				
				// More than 5 spaces
				if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) {
					$new_values[] = $value;
					
					// Less than 5 spaces
				} else {
					$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
					$new_values[] = '<a href="' . $search_url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}
		
		$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );
	}
	
	return $values;
}

/**
 * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter.
 */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
    // Add your custom filter.
    add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2);
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

I think the field visibility settings are applicable to the member who is performing the setting.

The suggested way to do what you want would be to make your notes profile field hidden to all non-admin members.

The first step would be to create /wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php inside your theme.

You can copy the contents of edit.php from:

bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/profile/edit.php

Then you need to modify edit.php. In edit.php, find <?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?> and add the following immediately after it:

if ( ! current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) && ( bp_get_the_profile_field_name() === 'notes' ) )
    continue;

Note: I’m assuming your field name is notes

Hi @doremdou
BP group activities notifier perhaps ?

There is also Buddypress Notification Manager which make this for groups

• A member invites you to join a group
• Group information is updated
• You are promoted to a group administrator or moderator
• A member requests to join a private group for which you are an admin

it does not send notifications when SOMEONE JOINS the group and I need it
You need it ? Well, but that isn’t enough !
Who should receive the notif ?

Both are old, and the 2nd is still working with 2.0.2.

You asked how to fix %20 issue.

The BP response to that is: // Use urlencode() rather than rawurlencode().
I you hav suche %20 in some url’s, you have to find what is genrate it. Or go into the DB and remove the spaces manually. This means searching all %20 occurence.

if anyone knows how to fix the url spaces in the name, like what BuddyPress does, that would be amazing

Does this means that you use something, but not BP, who create such space mark ? A custom theme perhaps, or a plugin ?

Theme name and plugin list, please ! 😉

@mooieautosnl,

buddypress doesn’t handle the blog(s), it only show them à la BP.
BP comes up with some witget and you can activate them from the widget dashboard. The most relevant, even if he doesn’t exclusively handle author’s post, is Recently active members, who let you choose from 3 different filters: active, recent, popular.

You can also search on the WP plugin repo if a more accurate plugin exist

Hi @seeingblues2,

Configure BuddyPress

Check also the permalinks and give details about your theme or better give an url so somebody can go to see what happens.

@christernet,

you reply on a topic started over 2 years ago…Please open a new topic and give some details about your config.
check your install first and consider also what is written here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

@mjc82in I think you still need to install https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/ for theme compatibility.

@christernet Assign the new Register and Activate pages in Settings > BuddyPress > Page as noted in https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ ? If you already did, deactivate other plugins except BP and/or change to one of WP default themes to check what’s causing the issue.

Take a look at this hook
do_action( 'groups_created_group', $group->id, $group );

in buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php ~L. 161

Use that hook to connect to a function that changes the submitted name.
