BuddyPress.org

Another follow-up: it turns out this is because of a plugin I was using – Multilanguage by BestWebSoft… I would really love to keep using this plugin (I’ve been hunting for translation plugins for over a month and this is the only one I’ve found that actually does what I need it to do translation-wise)

Is there any way to make the plugin BuddyPress-Compatible?

hi @bruce30, thanks for your help 🙂 However, i don’t want to completely remove the ability for friend connections I just don’t want certain members to have friends. I guess I will have to leave this issue as is. It really is a bummer that buddypress devs cannot provide code that help us add/remove features for different member types. What is the point of member types function if members still have same abilities?

Thanks. That indeed did the trick. However, if I view an individual profile and click on the profile field it shows a page with others who have the same profile term and uses the wrong format again. That is baked into the buddypress profile page. I cannot change that.

see this page and click on the school building tag in the profile: http://iblog.dearbornschools.org/members/kieselh/profile/

Then try the pagination. It’s broke because it uses ?s_= and that is generated by Buddypress for the custom profile.

Oops hit reply not edit! well…

Here’s the solution I arrived at:

function filter_change_email_subject ( $email_subject, $sender_name, $ud ) {
	$email_subject = sprintf( __('%1$s wants to say hello', 'buddypress' ), $sender_name);
	return $email_subject;
}
add_filter( 'messages_notification_new_message_subject', 'filter_change_email_subject' , 10, 7 );

This works for what I’m doing, for someone else that wants to pass a dynamic subject you may need to nest this function.

After a lot of searching I’ve put this together. It appears to remove the ability of normal site users to use the rich text area editor in ‘multi line text areas’. Its use now allows jQuery functions for character limits to be applied to the text area which was not possible when tinymce was active.

function bptest_remove_tinymce() {
	if ( !is_super_admin() ) {
	tinymce.activeEditor.getBody().setAttribute( 'contenteditable', false );
	}
}
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'bptest_remove_tinymce' );

Note that the is_super_admin() is included. Without it the WP bar at the top of the screen which is used to access dashboard etc disappears.

Then to remove the remaining Visual/Text tabs attached to the text area, use the CSS display:none on the relevant div id.

I am still very curious as to whether there are better methods for excluding the rich text editor / tinymce from Buddypress (across the site and/or targeting specific text areas). Would appreciate any input from anyone more in the know!

Thanks

I’m using boss theme, no i didn’t ask them, I thought it is buddypress issue
what about activity filter?

I installed WP Crontrol and saw nothing out of the ordinary:

ws_plugin__s2member_auto_eot_system__schedule
_cron_zencache_cleanup
bp_activity_akismet_delete_old_metadata
wp_maybe_auto_update
wp_version_check
wp_update_plugins
wp_update_themes
akismet_scheduled_delete
wp_scheduled_delete
wp_scheduled_auto_draft_delete

Earlier today I added the following to my functions.php file:

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

No @mention emails were generated since then. As soon as I commented that code out, within 5-10 minutes thirteen @mention email notifications went out – all with links to content that is years old (pre-import).

I’ve therefore put the filter back into functions.php and can only assume I’ll have to do without the @mention functionality of buddypress.

I appreciate everyone’s help up to this point.

My host said emails are STILL being sent out.

Can anyone suggest an interim solution (other than switching off my mailserver completely) to stop these emails going out?

Evidently placing the code below in functions.php had no effect:

//buddypress stop mention emails //
remove_action( 'bp_activity_sent_mention_email', 'bp_activity_at_message_notification', 10, 5 );
//End buddypress stop mention emails //
