BuddyPress.org

I just installed NewsMag and the profile tabs and cover image feature look fine on an unmodified install:

Again, we cannot account for every single variant of every available theme out there. If you have some CSS knowledge, you’ll have to adjust it yourself.

Uninstalling BuddyPress and reinstalling did nothing at all. Data repair did nothing. I disabled cover photos and it works fine. It is the cover photos enabled and I lose the whole tabs in profile.

Congrats imath!

A BuddyPress user is a WordPress user, so you should be able to use WordPress user API functions for this.

For BuddyPress groups, check out groups_create_group():

@djpaul – Wholy! Bleep!

So it may be easier for me to add two new buttons to the comment replies things all around buddypress in the near future?! IS the wordpress editor button API )think it came out like 3 versions ago?) going to flow through to this in BP?

So glad to see this!

@redgard
seems to be a similar question with a couple of intersting answers here: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/html-or-wysiwyg-in-text-profile-fields/

BuddyPress 2.4 — probably due out this week — changes multi-line text area fields to use TinyMCE, like the WordPress post editor.

Hello @danbp

What would i do if i want to remove a tab? Please refer to my question

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/hiding-groups-and-forums-from-members-page/

Thanks,

Is there a better looking bp comments plugin with some better styling?

I’m not aware of any. You could adjust or add css to change the styling.

…the bp activity stream will not pick up these comments.

You’ll need to use bp_actvity_add() to do that.
Your theme may have a hook you can use – ask them.

@gurusurfer,

this need a template overload.

Make first a child-theme.
Copy notifications-loop.php from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/notifications/ to
/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/notifications/notifications-loop.php

At the begin of the file (line 1) copy/paste <?php bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); ?>. Don’t remove php tags.

Save. You’re done.

Please don’t double post. Topic closed.

Hi @ma3ry,

unable to visit the indicated page due to redirection… BP’s xProfile text box contains are autolinked by default for the 5 first words.
This is handy when you use a field called city for example. The city name is autolinked and let each user click on it to find other who may entered the same name.

Of course, an about me box with a long description, which several autolinked words has less interrest. Fortunately, you can deactivate xprofile autolinking.
Two options for this: all or selected.

Here 3 snippets. The first can be used if you want to completely remove autolink from all field values.
The second is a new filter to let you choose the field(s) you want to deactivate. This need two snippet. The first to rewrite a filter and the second to remove / replace the existing BP filter.

Add the snippet to bp-custom.php.

// remove any autolink from profile
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' ); 

// custom filter to selectively remove autolink
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 (separated by comma) of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2);

    // 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;
}

/**

    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );

Hi @gwanghyeonan,

see here if you can use it:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-contributions-tab-with-subtabs/#post-244609

There is nothing on the page, where is the shortcode for the register page and activate page?

There is no shortcode. If you enabled registration after you set up BuddyPress, then follow instructions at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/
After you do so, you’d need to log out first in order to “see” the Registration page.

For example, I changed the background of the home page to black, the group page also went black.

@jessicana That is the default behavior as BP adds rudimentary styles to the components in BP pages.
BP injects BP classes in the <body> tag. View > Source or use FF/Chrome inspector and you’ll find numerous classes e.g. in a Group named “The Godfather”, you’ll find the following classes you can use for the single group home page or for the rest of the Groups component pages:
<body class="single-item groups group-the-godfather group-home home buddypress ... etc.>
so you can use e.g.

body.buddypress {
/* for all BP pages */
}

or

body.groups {
/* for all groups */
}

or

body.group-home {
/* for the single group's home page */
}

etc.

There’s 2 ways of doing this.

1. You could modify the members-loop template (see the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy for details on how that’s done). See here. You would just add bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name here' ); to the template.

2. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function add_info_to_members_loop() {
    echo bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name here' );
}
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'add_info_to_members_loop' );

You can’t do that currently. The only way to add an item to the activity stream is with bp_activity_add(). See the bp_activity_add() article for more details.

Thanks for the report, @kalico.

I’ve added a ticket for this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6719

We’ll have a better error message for users for v2.5.0.

@dhscratch

I’m having a similar issue as you with the mentions .js file not loading.

I also have an issue when I limit the number of items, the load more doesn’t work.
