BuddyPress.org

Site tracking – if you go to your WP admin area, look under BuddyPress where you can enable and disable components. You’ll see that you can enable site tracking. You’ll need to have this option checked to get notifications.

@xwafflecakes

You should not edit core files.

See https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

The line you refer to is in the buddypress.pot file…

With the latest BuddyPress, you can simply add the My Profile link directly from the menu in your admin CP. Or am I reading what you want incorrectly?

Well @RukiaR7 what you are asking for has been demanded in these forums time and time again but no one has really ever coded this kind of plugin however i am working on a project like that for http://www.pressbooker.com My team just finished the first plugin today which is the facebooklike toolbar for the wordpress adminbar. What i will be building is similar but a little different in that people who have different profile types for different user roles they signed up from. And admin will be able to choose which profile is neccessary for which user role.For the first time facebook timeline will be coming into plugin develoment on wordpress and buddypress. If you are interested please hire me at once. It will be only for a week and you get it.

I haven’t seen a plugin that does exactly what you wanted, but I did test this one for about a week: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-buddypress-user-profile-visibility-manager-give-the-users-control-to-manage-their-account-privacy/

You might be able to install it, have the default setting for viewing members profile set to “logged in users”, then hide it on the front end so members cant change it.

Or, just dig into the bit of code that hides the profile and use that.

This plugin is exactly what i’m looking for, its a real shame @timcarey stopped updating it. are there any other alternatives to create a frontpage or blog page as a homepage for each of my groups?

i found this: http://bp-tricks.com/featured/creating-a-custom-front-page-for-your-buddypress-groups/ but it doesnt seem like a very clean solution

Here’s what I need:

Client wants to enter member info themselves, then later on have users create WP account. Is this possible, to create profile first, without wp account, and then save?

So at that point, how does already-existing buddypress profile get associated with wp user?

If this isn’t possible, can a temporary username / password be generated?

My expectation was that since notifications section has been added I should be able to locate a notifications.php file in members->single templates, which is unfortunately not present in the bp default theme. Since the file is not present the fallback is plugins.php which is shown in the notifications section.
The above code exactly does what buddypress is already doing so it does not make any difference.

If your theme has the members folder, then Notifications view is missing … is there any template we can refer to .. if not bp-default..

#activity-all { display: none; }

Note that I have no idea if that ID is used anywhere else.

In your child theme, copy/edit buddypress/activity/index.php. Look for

<?php do_action( 'bp_activity_syndication_options' ); ?>

All the options of that select are below it. Though, I’m a novice. There might be some easier way of doing it.

I happen to see this while searching for other plugins. Don’t know anything about it, but it sounds like what you are after: https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-profile-view-from-admin/

I like this idea. It would make a fab plugin if someone can package it up well.

I’m not sure BP core needs a timezone field by default, but if we can do anything to make filtering/re-calculating the dates easier (e.g. add a filter, or so), don’t hesitate to ask! Create an enhancement request on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org and I’ll get it into BP 2.0

Here is how you change the “Sitewide Activity” text.

buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-screens.php – Line 384

Below is what Line 384 looks like. Just replace the ‘Sitewide Activity’ text with whatever you want it to say.

‘post_title’ => __( ‘Sitewide Activity’, ‘buddypress’ ),

keep folder structure same as in bp-templates

/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile.php

@colabsadmin

Ah, didn’t notice that instruction, just looked at the code.
( It’s surprising how many plugins leave in that kind of code. )

>I’m new to wordpress/buddypress so writing a plugin isn’t going to happen anytime soon

You’ve already done a good chunk of the work.
If you and/or @henrywright-1 want to draft a plugin, I’d be willing to get involved.

Nice. It would also be interesting to provide this on all timestamps.

One issue ‘tho – in this:
http://docs.taptappress.com/buddypress-add-time-zone-list-profile-field/

I think you’re inserting / updating all those xprofile fields on every page load.
Why not just do it once?

You could write a plugin that uses ‘register_activation_hook’ to run bp_add_custom_timezone_list() once.

And then use the filter hook in:
bp_get_message_thread_last_post_date()
to adjust the timestamp without requiring a template change.

And you could use other hooks to adjust other timestamp displays.

That would be a popular and very handy plugin.

Then you will be stuck with a broken site. If you can get the theme developer to remove BuddyPress from the theme and allow it to use BP theme compatibility then your theme will work into the future.

I know this isn’t something you want to hear but it is better in the long run to have theme compatibility. BP 1.9.1 will have a fix for notifications display. This will be the final feature fix. You have the options of removing BuddyPress from your theme or using a new WordPress theme.

Appearance > Themes in the WordPress admin. Activate a different theme.

It has been known for some time that bp-default is getting phased out and new features will not work on it.

Any well coded WordPress theme should work well with BuddyPress.
