hi @tau001,

have you ever read about BuddyPress before asking ? 😉

BuddyPress Components and Features

BP is compatible with most of the (recent) WP themes. There is no need to reach a dedicated BP theme (these are mostly outdated now < BP 1.8)
Be aware that a commercial theme will cut you off of public forums like this one. Nobody can help you, outside the theme support. And don’t buy a spectacular homepage picture with bright colors and heavy markting claims if you don’t know exactly what you need.
Built first the skeleton and add a skin after. When building a house, you can’t begin with the wallpaper ?!!!

For your questions:
1) see link
2) yes of course
3) – yes
– yes with an extra plugin: myCred
– yes & easely, if you know a little about php coding

@philmeyer basically some issues still remain on @mentions https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5565

@finchkelsey Have never used NS Cloner but if you only want BP only in the main site or on one subsite in your multisite installation, do not activate BP network-wide i.e., Network Admin > Plugins panel. If you did, deactivate it in Network Admin. Then, if you want BP only in main site, go to the plugins panel of main site and activate it there. If you want BP in one subsite, then follow instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/setting-up-a-new-installation/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/ Not sure though if the change will work with NS Cloner activated.

@denislafont,

just published something about this yesterday on BuddyPress Snippet Barn. The blog is french, but the code is in english.

Is some question about videos, see here.

You could use the approach in the codex page you’ve referenced.

Probably easier to use this hook from WP Job manager: ‘job_manager_save_job_listing’
In the function that you create for that hook, use bp_activity_add.

hello @optiqal,
using snippets from 2012 leads to errors in many case. 😉

Here’s a new version of what you used. I tested it on BP 2.1 and 2013 theme.
(original code comes from here) As it contained errors i corrected them and adjusted the code to get content everywhere.

/* we're building the nav button and add it to the profile main menu */
function mb_bp_profile_menu_posts() {
	global $bp;
	bp_core_new_nav_item(
	array(
	'name' => 'My Posts',
	'slug' => 'posts', 
	'position' => 11, 
	'default_subnav_slug' => 'published', 
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_posts'
	)
	);
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_bp_profile_menu_posts', 301 );

/* we're building 2 sub item
 * the first is the one showing by default
 */

function mb_bp_profile_submenu_posts() {
	global $bp;
	if(!is_user_logged_in()) return '';
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => 'Published',
	'slug' => 'published', 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'] . '/' ,
	'parent_slug' => $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'],
	'position' => 10,
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_posts' //the function is declared below
	) 
	); 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => 'Drafts',
	'slug' => 'drafts', 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'] . '/' ,
	'parent_slug' => $bp->bp_nav['posts']['slug'],
	'position' => 20,
	'screen_function' => 'mb_author_drafts' //the function is declared below
	) 
	); 
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'mb_bp_profile_submenu_posts', 302 );

/* here we control our 1st sub item
 * first function is the screen_function
 * second function displays the content
*/
function mb_author_posts(){	
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'mb_show_posts' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}
function mb_show_posts() {
	echo 'Function to Generate the displayed users posts.';
	// add yout stuff here
}

/* here we control our 2nd sub item
 * first function is the screen_function
 * second function displays the content
 */
function mb_author_drafts() {
	add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'mb_show_drafts' );
	bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
}
function mb_show_drafts() {
	echo 'Another function to Generate the displayed users drafts.';
	// add yout stuff here
}

@perrie This will help you https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

Novice here… this should be fun. (July 2014)

I got someone to import users in to my sweetdate (2.6.1)/buddypress (2.5.4) site. The users are there in the WordPress users, but not in the Buddypress site. They don’t even show up in the Pending Activation. I can see them in the SQL Database.

How can I migrate them in to the Buddypress members, searchable, database.

Thanks in advance.

Yikes – that was just a skeleton that needs actual code in the function.

Given your code ability and the number of code requests you’ve recently made on these forums,
I recommend that you post a job listing here.

I’m guessing you have an older plugin that you want to support with the newer theme compatibility standard.

Since you’re referencing bp_core_load_template( 'activity/index' ) in your example, I’m guessing you are trying to add theme compat for a new slug in the activity directory (eg. example.com/activity/new-slug/)? If so, you’ll want to copy the following code, rename the class and change a few things, so it is applicable to your plugin:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.0.1/bp-activity/bp-activity-screens.php#L301

Then you would load up your new class with the bp_core_load_template() call.

if ( class_exists( 'BP_Theme_Compat' ) ) {
     new BP_Activity_WHATEVER_YOUR_CLASS_IS_CALLED_Theme_Compat;
}
bp_core_load_template( 'activity/index' );

Never put code into the buddypress plugin files.

Use your theme functions.php or use bp-custom.php.

Use the ‘xprofile_updated_profile’ hook

function josh_profile_check( $user_id, $posted_field_ids, $errors ) {
  /* check $posted_field_ids to see if one of the fields you are interested in has changed
  if yes, then use bp_activity_add to add to activity stream
  */
}
add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'josh_profile_check', 10, 3 );

bp_activity_add

Assign the button to a var, then dump it to see what is returned.

$asdf = bp_get_button( etc. ) 
var_dump( $asdf ); 

Your bp_button calls look ok, afaik.

Take a look at the function
buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-template.php ~L. 487

@lorns Have you tried deleting and then re-uploading BuddyPress manually? Files may have been corrupted or upload could be incomplete. Where are you hosted – locally or shared hosting or dedicated server, etc?

@jovicar something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-registration-groups-1/ ?
