BuddyPress.org

@khushboo123 Please provide more information about your installation https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/ Also, have you done some basic troubleshooting?

Hi, i’m using buddypress 2.01 on wordperss 3.9.1 multisite

@kaisarandretiyahoocom Sorry that you’re having this issue. Some questions

Did you activate BuddyPress Network-wide? Or did you just activate it in one site => main site or in subsite only using define ( 'BP_ROOT_BLOG', xx ); in your wp-config.php file?

Strange. Is this a new installation or a recently updated one? WP/BP versions? Have you done some basic troubleshooting?

Finally I opened a ticket !

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5700

Instead of the template change suggested above, it works better to add the following

/* set default BP to profile page instead of activity page */
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

in your wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file (create that file if it does not exist – see https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/ for more about that file).

It may be that you need to set:

/* set default BP to profile page instead of activity page */
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

in your wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file (create that file if it does not exist – see https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/ for more about that file).

@wpleo,

i checked the buddypress-pt_BR.po/mo. Sitewide Activity is correctly translated.
I also added all gettext filters to the po, as mentionned by @shanebp
without any result.
I also tested with mesocolumn theme and magazine theme, with no result.

The only solution for the moment is to change the original code to the old style way of translating a string ( __(”,”) )

the string is in bp-activity-loader.php:109

Change
‘directory_title’ => _x( ‘Sitewide Activity’, ‘component directory title’, ‘buddypress’ ),
to
‘directory_title’ => __( ‘Sitewide Activity’, ‘buddypress’ ),

will resolve the problem.

Just fyi – if you only have a few labels that you want to change, you can use these functions.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/gettext_with_context

It’s a lot faster than messing with .po files.
But you need to know if the label is using a context parameter.

So you can use this approach for ‘Sitewide Activity’…

function example_gettext_with_context( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {

  if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )  
        return $translated; 
        
  switch ( $text ) {

        case 'Sitewide Activity':
            return 'Bongos';		
	
        default:
            return $translated;
    }

    return $translated;
}
add_filter( 'gettext_with_context', 'example_gettext_with_context', 11, 4 );

You need to add this:

_x:1,2c

To Catalog Properties > Sources keywords in PoEdit.

This is due to the use of the ‘context’ parameter for some titles via ‘_x’

For example, the second element is the context parameter:
_x( 'Sitewide Activity', 'component directory title', 'buddypress' )

Make sure your Sources Keywords has at least these entries:

_
_()
__
__()
_x:1,2c

I use this approach and can change titles like ‘Sitewide Activity’

hi @escudero95

here are 2 function you can use for do what you need. The first add Happy birthday on the Toolbar, near the Howdy.

The second will add the same thing on the profile header, above @username at the right of the avatar.

These function can be used from within bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

You have to create a date type profile field and set it to be viewed by friends only.

Naturally this is intended to be an example of use. It’s certainly perfectible. Also take care of the different comments inside the code. Have fun !

function bpfr_happybirthday( $wp_admin_bar ) {
	global $bp;
	
	// if user is not logged in, we show nothing
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	return false;
	
	// is xprofile component active ?
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )	
		   // fetch the birthdate
		   // as the function should work outside of the profile loop, we first need the user_id
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
			
			// now we get the birthdate and our text to show (text | username). 53 is the field id.
			// depending your theme, this may be adjusted by css as it goes probably on two lines
		$birthdate = xprofile_get_field_data('53', $user_id ) ? __( 'Happy Birthday ' ) . bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ) : '';	
		
		// building the output and adding some css	 
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

		// condition for the greating on the toolbar
		if (!is_user_logged_in( $user_id ) ) { 		
		
		$my_title = '<span style="float: left; width: 16px;	height: 16px; margin: 5px 5px 0 -1px; display: block; background-color: green; border-radius: 16px;"></span> '.$birthdate.' ';
		
			$args = array(
			'parent'    => 'top-secondary', // position
			'id'		=> 'birthday_item', // unique identifier
			'title' 	=> $my_title, // the name who appears on the bar
			);
		
	
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
		}
	
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'bpfr_happybirthday', 90 );

function bpfr_happybirthday2u() {
	global $bp;
	
	// if user is not logged in, we show nothing
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	return false;
	
	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }
	
	// is xprofile components active ?
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
	
	// fetch the birthdate
	// as the function should work outside of the profile loop, we first need the user_id
	$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	
	// now we get the birthdate and our text to show (text | username). 53 is the field id.
	// depending your theme, this may be adjusted by css as it goes probably on two lines
	$birthdate = xprofile_get_field_data('53', $user_id ) ? __( 'Happy Birthday ' ) . bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ) : '';	
	
	// building the output and adding some css
	$my_title = '<div style="margin: 5px 5px 20px 5px; border:1px solid red; min-height:18px;"><div style="float: left; width: 16px; height: 16px; margin: 5px 5px 0 -1px; display: block; background-color: green; border-radius: 16px;"></div> '.$birthdate.' </div>';
	
	echo $birthdate;	
	
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_happybirthday2u' );

In this context, component IDs are the name of the component.

I would use the ‘action’ filter and leave out ‘friendship_created’.

Before you make changes, created a template over-ride for the activity-loop template.

See:

Theme Compatibility & Template Files

Hi,

I also have no buddypress items in the Menu area under appearance. I am running 3.9.1. Does this functionality still exist?

My site is at mukkytalk.com and is using Aggregate theme from eleganthemes.

Thank you.

Take a look at:

Activity Loop

In particular: filtering-options re action and object, and filtering-examples

@johnhome glad you have a working BP install using XAMPP.

@zvi18 I would suggest that you start off by checking out BuddyPress Documentation https://codex.buddypress.org/ and explore the features https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/ Try it out first locally by installing https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/installing-a-local-server/installing-xampp/

Both mentionned files are in /buddypress/bp-activity/

The SWA shows anything happening on the site. By default, each related site event shows the user avatar, the user name, the action and the date/time and all are clickable and lead to the action or to the profile. Adding a mention handle to this is overcomplicated and completely useless i guess.

If someone post or comment on a blog, you’ll see it on the activity screens (profile and/or SWA) and you can comment the activity directly or leave a comment on the post page.

Mentions are used to quote people or to call or messaging them, and not exactly intended to be shortcuts to make things faster. IRL you go to the post office to send a letter. On BP you go on a profile to talk with a user.

And at least, BuddyPress is not Twitter. Think BuddyPress. 😉

hi @joeyaberle,

you have 2 options: 1) hardcoding the template file or 2) add the tab with a function to a placeholder.

1) make a copy of buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php and add it into your child-theme (see codex on how to do that) and add the html you want at line 24, after the endif;

2) this function will add My Tab on the members directory nav bar, beside All members | My Friends | My Tab. Add it into your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

function bpfr_my_directory_setup_nav() {
	echo'<li><a href="http://example.com/wp-content/themes/mychild/my_extra_page.php">My Tab</a></li>'; // link to what you want
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'bpfr_my_directory_setup_nav' );

my_extra_page.php is a file that doesn’t exist. You have to create it first. This file should content at least:

<div id="buddypress">
<div id="members-dir-list" class="members dir-list">
			<?php your stuff here....  ?>
		</div><!-- #members-dir-list -->
</div><!-- #buddypress -->

Placeholder reference:
buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php:25
More on the Codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/component/members/

BuddyPress does not provide photo albums.

So you are using a plugin or theme that adds that functionality.

You should contact the creators of that plugin or theme.
