Sorry, got sidetracked… Go me! LoL

Anyway, the second part of my question was / is in reference too exactly what you just said… You’ve stated that ‘When a post of the types I have specified in my array is created’… My question is in reference to this statement. How are your users, on the Activity Feed, selecting to POST in the specified types? Dropdown? Radio button?

I’m curious because PHP happens on the Server Side prior to the page being sent to the user, as far as I know, so I’m not sure how your Activity Feed is, after the fact, telling BuddyPress’s Activity Feed that the user has SELECTED to Post an Event or a Business or whatever.

simple-man,
I prefer to run the bbPress forum plugin as it integrates well with Buddypress.Using a forum plugin is a way to get your site members and visitors to engage in the discussion and encourage them to return to the site regularly.

It really depends on the specific community,some prefer to comment on a blog or podcast,others prefer forums.All you can do is set up one forum and invite people to take part and then make a judgement about whether the level of interaction justifies a forum per group or just a forum for certain groups.

@cyndimarie

Did you determine how to do this? I’m trying to do something similar. I’ve figured out that I needed to create a bp-custom.php file, and I’ve used that to rearrange and rename the menu items in the buddypress profile page. But similar to you, I want to move the page title and avatar.

If I figure this out before you respond, I’ll come back and let you know.

Thanks

I’m not sure if it’s useful to you but upgrading to the latest version of buddypress might help as there has been some attention to issues with usernames….

See the following tickets: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5185 and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4622

in the above is an example of user name validation that, if adapted, might help stop the problem in future (without upgrading)

@jerrysc

It’s not clear from your code as you don’t use the code tag….

The error messages suggest that the problem is on line two of your bp-custom.php file.

Is that all that’s in your file and if so, then is <?php the first thing in the file? There should not be any other characters, blank spaces or lines before it. Similarly there should be nothing after the final ?>.

Also make sure that your 'single quote marks' aren’t turned in to ‘smart quotes’ when you copy and paste ( this can also happen with double quotes – " " turning to “ ” ). Also this needs to be done using a text/code editor such as Notepad++ not a wordprocessor such as MS Word.

Have you tried the recent variation of the above mentioned by buddypress lead developer jjj in https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-sorry/#post-178320

Humm… Looking at the proposal and the patch, it doesn’t look like ‘in-profile’ notifications are factored in yet. Just email notifications at the moment it seems.

bp_notifications_add_notification() does the adding of an ‘in-profile’ notification. See here:
https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-notifications/bp-notifications-functions.php#L35

I’m researching BuddyPress as I’m planning a possible solution for a client. They want to do an ‘Angie’s List’-like thing where a contractor pays to be listed and consumers can rate/find a contractor of their choice….. I’ll be watching and letting you know what I learn. This thread concerns me! Please reply back here if you figure things out.

Not sure if you are still out there, but I am trying very hard (not a coder, btw) to create a site that will allow the members control over who can see their postings, friendships etc.

I cannot figure out how to do it with buddypress. Every solution that has been offered has not actually done the trick, be it a plug in or adding code.

My site is a paid membership site – and restricted to members of a local “in person” social group.

The way buddypress is working, even with the “activity privacy” plug in installed is this:

there is a page called activity stream. It has 4 tabs in it:

all members
friends
@mentions
rss

Everytime someone joins the site, it shows up in the all members tab
everytime someone accepts a friend request, it shows up in the all members tab
everytime anyone posts any status updates, photos, or anything, it shows up in the all members tab

anyone who has a membership can view the all members tab, therefore, nothing a member does is private.

I have not tested emails, so perhaps emails are private, but so far, nothing else is.

I have tried in vain to find a way to be free of the all members tab and cannot get a solution. I am considering abandoning buddypress and trying symposium and seeing if that offers privacy.

Once the all members tab is resolved, you would also need to resolve similar issue with rss feeds, as that pumps all info out there as well, as best I can tell.

Buddypress seems to be designed as a very very public space and I fear that trying to accomplish any privacy is a losing battle.

If you find something that does work, I would appreciate knowing what it is as I am at my wits end with it.

Best of luck to you.

Regarding notifications for activity comments, see this open ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5395

You can edit the code on the BuddyPress pages and change it to the left. Clearly only some of the BP pages have the Menu on top, you change in those pages and you’ll be good.

1st – This is not a BuddyPress related question, so in the future, I’d be mindful of what you post here.

2nd – The pic link is not working, how can you expect us to help you without understanding your problem?

3rd – You can solve this problem with this plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/, you will need to give “contributors the needed capability to upload images, something that as far as I’m concerned they don’t have by default.

Good luck! =)

A look at the Codex don’t hurt. Check out this article, https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/function-examples/bp_core_get_userlink/, I’v used it recently to accomplish whay you’re trying to do.

Hope it helps! =)

Don’t know why my link was not posted. Here it is if it can.

Hello All,

I found a solution for this and already have created a ticket for this. See link below for solution.

Thanks,

Hi @cnaughton

The function should be defined? See here:

https://github.com/buddypress/BuddyPress/blob/master/bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php#L2660

Do you have the groups component activated?

@ginnybee This plugin should do the trick: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/

This resource might help: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/force-user-registrations-to-your-own-buddypress-registration-page/

If you’re on a group page use:
bp_group_date_created()

See buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-template.php for the particulars re that function.

In your theme, create an over-ride this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Read this re over-riding files:

Have you tried wrapping it in a function and and using an action as suggested in
