BuddyPress.org

I’m still not clear on what you’re trying to do.

Those hooks should provide a starting point.
But adding profile fields dynamically and adding/setting dynamic values to existing fields are 2 different things.

See:
buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-admin.php
re adding adding profile fields dynamically.

The latter item should be quite straightforward.

Then, as you point out, there is the lamentable difference between field handling in reg and profile.

Hi @sundev

Check out the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article. To customise the label I think you’ll need to use a language file.

If you also want to change the slug in the URL, try adding this to your bp-custom.php file define( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'mails' );

The template is here:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\request-membership.php

I don’t know of any plugins that handle customizing that area.

> Is there an easy way to customize this tab?

Easy?
Yes, fairly easy, if you have some skills as a WP / BP developer.

What do you mean by new entrance ? You’re working on a WordPress powered site using the BuddyPress plugin.

Some solutions here, given by @boone

In BP now uses the bbPress plugin for forums, sitewide or groups.

Group cats would be a great built-in feature.
Have a look at this plugin.
Here’s an article about it.

Hi Arpit2011,

Either

1. Copy the register.php page from the BuddyPress plugin bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members directory into the root of your theme directory and amend it to your requirements

or

2. Install Gravity forms and the Gravity forms user registration plugins and create a form that maps to the extended BuddyPress profiles, and insert it into the page you have chosen in BuddyPress settings.

After doing either, make sure you have the following in your theme functions.php file

add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );

Hi @arpit2011,

Logon to your site Dashboard and from the settings sidebar item select BuddyPress.

At the top of the BuddyPress settings page you will see three tabs: components, pages and settings. Click on the pages tab, and from here you will see an option to select the register page. Unless you create a new custom registration page in your theme (called register.php), you won’t see much of a difference from the default registration page 🙂

Make a new folder in your theme root and call it “buddypress”.

Inside you can make five more folders

1. activity
2. forums
3. groups
4. members
5. blogs

Inside these folders you can copy the template files from the buddypress plugin.
The template files are in the buddypress plugin here:

plugins > buddypress > bp-templates > bp-legacy > buddypress

To alter profile pages you need to change the files in “member”.

Hope that helps

P.H.

I am using the Divi theme

@osirisravenwood last I heard, Divi was not compatible with BuddyPress. Please check at premium theme’s forums or with theme author whether this is no longer the case. To make the theme compatible, author could create a buddypress.php file for theme compatibility.

is there a way i could say use the layout of a really cool buddypress theme

BuddyPress renders the BP templates in compatible WP themes for the different BP components you’ll activate. You could style those accordingly with CSS tweaks or use BP template hierarchy as explained at https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/

@marriagebroker login details aren’t necessary. I just need to locate the source code of the widgets to see what hooks are available. Are they default widgets in BuddyPress (I don’t currently have BuddyPress installed so cannot check that myself)? Or are they part of a plugin etc?

@informerfrk
You failed to mention it is a paid plugin and being that you are a new developer according to this thread: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/i-am-a-new-buddypress-plugin-developer-and-busy-to-create-a-new-plugin/
I don’t think it would be wise at this juncture in your development to expect people would pay for a small mod of the “friends only activity” plugin authored by Rich Fuller as well as Sarah Gooding which is old and that is what it appears to be according to your other thread here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/need-some-modification-for-friends-only-activity-plugin/
I believe folks should make money on plugins but not by using a majority of someone else’s code from a previous and a kinda old plugin. Plus @megainfo has a really great free plugin on the repo that is very flexible here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-activity-privacy/
And if one doesn’t need all those features then @shanebp offered a code solution which works well here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-friendsyou-in-activity-feed-has-solution-been-found/
Either way good luck!

it was the only elway to get anyone’s attention

@porter_hughes We’re all volunteers here living in different time zones, please be patient. Closed your original post with link to this topic.

At this stage, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, keep on using the Twenty Thirteen theme, then try to register. If that still doesn’t work, deactivate BP then check if registration works. If registration still doesn’t work in standard WP install, please post at WP forums to resolve the issue.

Closing this duplicate for https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-not-letting-users-register-2/

@porter_hughes first of all, do not SHOUT in the forums by using ALL CAPS, thank you.

We need to know more about your installation in order to help you.

– Where were you installing WP? – locally or webhost (Windows/Linux/etc ?)
– If you deactivate BuddyPress, does your registration work then?
– Are you testing registration using Twenty Fourteen and only the BP plugin activated?
– Are you testing on standard WP or WP Multisite?
