BuddyPress.org

Hey @shanebp – thanks for sharing – I think this might only work if you are looking for friends + personal activity.

I’ve been scouring the forums and wp stack exchange and haven’t found anyone that has got this setup working. I’m seeing a lot of people saying it can be done but no actual code examples or suggestions for how. I do see that personal + friends activity can be combined with the example given on the activity loop page.

Is there anyone in the buddypress dev community that has, in practice, combined various scopes successfully?

Hi
Thank you for suggestion

I tried RTmedia but that gives members an option to upload media. I’m looking for a way for members to easly embed vimeo or youtube on there profiles. Alternatively do you know of any good themes useing buddypress with easy interfaces for members to make their creative portfolios on including embedding vimeo.

all the best

Just did a quick test in bp-activity-template.php. This isn’t any kind of solution as i’m editing core files.

As suggested in another thread I created an additional ‘case’ in bp_has_activities(). This code does not work and is a pretty basic attempt. Note that I only included the case here, there are a few other edits required in the function. This will return posts by friends in groups you belong to.

The issue seems to be that we want $primary_id OR $user_id below, not BOTH. Does someone have some insight into a way around this? Or can someone confirm that this is in fact the issue?

case 'groupsfriends':

if ( bp_is_active( 'groups' ) ) {

	$groups = groups_get_user_groups( $user_id );
	
	if ( !empty( $groups['groups'] ) ) {
		$object = $bp->groups->id;
		$primary_id = implode( ',', (array) $groups['groups'] );
	}
	
	//$user_id = 0;

}

if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
	$friends = friends_get_friend_user_ids( $user_id );
	if ( empty( $friends ) && empty( $groups['groups'] ) )
		return false;
	$user_id = implode( ',', (array) $friends );
	
break;

Hey @danbp Thanks for the response. I looked into that thread and that led me to this:

bp_has_activities to accept multi scope

This is an enhancement marked for future review… 14 months ago :\ – Looks like the only way to do it is to write a new class/function.

Is there anyone out there that has written something that includes multiple scopes? Is it possible?

Yeah I understand that it’s how it was designed to work, but it should only do it if you manually mark someone or if akismet does it. But it has to be Buddypress as nothing else is enabled, but why some users and not all then…

Ok here I found this:
“Added new “hide_spam” parameter to the entire Activity template loop stack; defaults to true, except if specific activity items have been requested (for backpat reasons).”

I found “hide_spam” in 3 files in buddypress but it’s already set to false? How can I disable this option?

Is it here in bp-activity-template.php:

// If a user is a spammer, their activity items will have been automatically marked as spam. Skip these.
if ( $comment->is_spam )
continue;

$user_ids[] = $comment->user_id;

or here

@type string|bool $spam Spam status. ‘ham_only’, ‘spam_only’, or false
* to show all activity regardless of spam status. Default: ‘ham_only’.

Yes I thought so but one of the first things I tried is to disable all plugins except Buddypress and it was still happening. I tried it again now – bbpress error is for something else it seems, as users still get marked for spam even when it’s disabled.

Yes I’m using a custom Buddypress theme (Cinematix) but it’s updated to the newest version and no one else has that problem. bp-custom.php doesn’t exist. I tried switching the theme also and same thing is happening.

Is there a way to disable buddypress flagging users for spam, so that is_table field isn’t being set to 1?

well i pasted the following code into the member-header.php file in buddypress where it says to add code and still no luck.

<div id="member_profile">
    <div class="profile_fields">Position <span><?php bp_member_profile_data( 'field=Position' );?></span></div>
		</div>		
<?php
/***
* If you'd like to show specific profile fields here use:
* bp_member_profile_data( 'field=About Me' ); -- Pass the name of the field
*/
do_action( 'bp_profile_header_meta' );

?>
Any ideas?
