BuddyPress.org

oooops… I got confused. It is BBpress not Buddypress plugin that I have installed.

I tried to create a shortcode to show the join/leave button using the buddypress-functions but can’t make it to work… 🙁
What am I doing wrong?

I would like a shortcode like this :

[groupbutton name=”party1″]

I tried with this code for a join button only at first:

add_shortcode( 'groupbutton', 'groupbutton_check_shortcode' );

function groupbutton_check_shortcode( $attr ) {

	extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'name' => 'read' ), $attr ) );

	$current_group_id = BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug($name);
	$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $current_group_id ) );     
		if(bp_loggedin_user_id()) {
			if( 'public' == $group->status ) {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $current_group_id ) . '" class="join-group" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'join', 'groups_join_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}
		}
}

I am not a developer at all so I dont understand everything but I am trying… :/
Cant figure what I am doing wrong… and why it does not display anything at all.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english 🙂

PS: I would like to use all cases of buttons like here on the buddypress-functions.php:

function bp_legacy_theme_ajax_joinleave_group() {
	// Bail if not a POST action
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	// Cast gid as integer
	$group_id = (int) $_POST['gid'];

	if ( groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
		return;

	if ( ! $group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) ) )
		return;

	if ( ! groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
		if ( 'public' == $group->status ) {
			check_ajax_referer( 'groups_join_group' );

			if ( ! groups_join_group( $group->id ) ) {
				_e( 'Error joining group', 'buddypress' );
			} else {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="leave-group" rel="leave" title="' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'leave-group', 'groups_leave_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}

		} elseif ( 'private' == $group->status ) {

			// If the user has already been invited, then this is
			// an Accept Invitation button
			if ( groups_check_user_has_invite( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_accept_invite' );

				if ( ! groups_accept_invite( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
					_e( 'Error requesting membership', 'buddypress' );
				} else {
					echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="leave-group" rel="leave" title="' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'leave-group', 'groups_leave_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Leave Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
				}

			// Otherwise, it's a Request Membership button
			} else {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_request_membership' );

				if ( ! groups_send_membership_request( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
					_e( 'Error requesting membership', 'buddypress' );
				} else {
					echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="membership-requested" rel="membership-requested" title="' . __( 'Membership Requested', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . __( 'Membership Requested', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}

	} else {
		check_ajax_referer( 'groups_leave_group' );

		if ( ! groups_leave_group( $group->id ) ) {
			_e( 'Error leaving group', 'buddypress' );
		} elseif ( 'public' == $group->status ) {
			echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="join-group" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'join', 'groups_join_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
		} elseif ( 'private' == $group->status ) {
			echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $group->id ) . '" class="request-membership" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Request Membership', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'request-membership', 'groups_send_membership_request' ) . '">' . __( 'Request Membership', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
		}
	}

	exit;
}

/**

 */
function bp_legacy_theme_ajax_close_notice() {
	// Bail if not a POST action
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	if ( ! isset( $_POST['notice_id'] ) ) {
		echo "-1<div id='message' class='error'><p>" . __( 'There was a problem closing the notice.', 'buddypress' ) . '</p></div>';

	} else {
		$user_id      = get_current_user_id();
		$notice_ids   = bp_get_user_meta( $user_id, 'closed_notices', true );

		bp_update_user_meta( $user_id, 'closed_notices', $notice_ids );
	}

	exit;
}

After snooping around I can see that the tables for the profile fields are created in profile-loop.php and bp_the_profile_field_value is defined in bp-xprofile-template.php I’m not sure about editing these files though…

I can’t seem to find the file that directs the items in a profile field to be separated by a comma, however I did find this topic: bp_the_profile_field_value and separating values

Instead of separating the items in the <td class="data"><?php bp_the_profile_field_value(); ?></td> by commas, I want to make them into an un-ordered list.

Any thoughts on how?

Ok, set up a throw-away account.

URL: http://slamfans.com/wp/members/demouser01/
Login: demouser01
Pass: demo123

On that demouser01 profile page, you should see where the Achievements link is forced to a second line but it’s still following the CSS positioning. If you visit another member page, you don’t see that error. I’m assuming that’s because you don’t see the Notifications link on other members profiles.

I’m trying to remember how I did it on another Buddypress site where I was able to force all of the plugin links, like Achievements, into a second line so that the first line remains with all of the default links. I did that about 2-3 years ago and that since has since floated away into the aether. So dunno if it’s even possible anymore with recent changes to Buddypress.

Hope there’s a solution to be had. (But thinking about it, it would be awesome if there was a plugin that could me made for custom WP themes that would allow you to position links in the order and places you’d like.)

Thanks!

@mercime Thanks, I’ve seen that plugin (I did extensive searching online before I posted my question). It doesn’t seem to do what I want it to do – ie for buddypress users to set up multiple stores.

It seems like there is only one store and it shows feeds of what the users are buying, product groups, etc?

Sorry, but it doesn’t work. I can only find two activity-loop.php in the BuddyPress plugin folder, one in \buddypress\bp-themes\bp-default\activity which doesnt change anything when altered and one in \buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\activity which breaks the site, stops some plugins and refuses to show any activities at all when altered according to your instructions. I’ve also tried placing them in my child theme, but it doesn’t do anything…

What could be the problem?

By the way, i’m using a child theme of Twenty Eleven.

I have tried to deavtivate all the plugins except Buddypress, but the problem still persists. I could really need some help with this, as I have put a lot of work into this site, and this issue is preventing from doing anything furher, and a deadline is looming.

Hi, Henry. I have done what you said. The plugins are necessary on my web site. Removed plugins and theme which I do not use. Am using Twitter Bootstrap already. As you can see, BuddyPress and s2members take most of time for loading. The others are less than 30%.
I deactivated BuddyPress and s2members, and my web site turned fast. That means these two plugins make my site slow. Hope the new version would provide better performance.

The plugin author is this guy by the way: he wrote some plugins on wordpress.org including BuddyPress Groups Extras which is how I found him. Slava UA.

The link however has a bbp_ tag in the URL. So I don’t know who the culprit is.

Just in case anyone else needs it

bbpress Version 2.5.3
BuddyPress Version 1.9.2
