Hi BuddyPress,

I am in the same boat as ProfC also – search functionality for BBPress forums is no longer functioning since I installed buddypress 1.9 with WordPress 3.8 – the URL does not change to http://domainname/search/blahblah when I hit submit.

Kind regards,
Henry

Hi BuddyPress support,

I am having exactly the same problem. My website is http://plantswap.com.au – buddypress 1.9 with WordPress 3.8 install.

All Private Messages sent twice.

I am not using any other chat or PM plugins.

Cheers,
Henry

Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs

With 1.8.1 I created a new page called “Clubs” and pointed the Buddypress Groups page to it so that the URL and breadcrumb now appear as “Clubs”. So this problem is now solved.
I would like to know the best way to change the word “Group” to “Clubs” on the rest of my site (Member Profile Tab etc). I see some very old threads that suggest using a language translation file but wanted to ask for the latest recommendations.

@Henry
hope it will be okay writing it like this for clearity in case of anything happen? Also do I need to put the php tag as shown below:

<?php

// filter gender field

function custom_activity_text_change_avatar( $entry, $user_id ) {
$gender = bp_get_profile_field_data( ‘field=Gender&user_id=’ . $user_id );

if ( $gender == ‘Male’ ) {
$entry = sprintf( __( ‘%s changed his profile picture’, ‘buddypress’ ), $userlink );
} else if ( $gender == ‘Female’ ) {
$entry = sprintf( __( ‘%s changed her profile picture’, ‘buddypress’ ), $userlink );
} else {
// the user hasn’t told us if they are male or female so do nothing
}
return $entry;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_xprofile_new_avatar_action’, ‘custom_activity_text_change_avatar’, 10, 2 );

?>

Try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function custom_activity_text_change_avatar( $entry, $user_id ) {
    $gender = bp_get_profile_field_data( 'field=Gender&user_id=' . $user_id );

    if ( $gender == 'Male' ) {
        $entry = sprintf( __( '%s changed his profile picture', 'buddypress' ), $userlink );
    } else if ( $gender == 'Female' ) {
        $entry = sprintf( __( '%s changed her profile picture', 'buddypress' ), $userlink );
    } else {
        // the user hasn't told us if they are male or female so do nothing
    }
    return $entry
}
add_filter( 'bp_xprofile_new_avatar_action', 'custom_activity_text_change_avatar', 10, 2 );

Notes:

1. Your profile field should be called Gender and it should be a radio button. Options should be Male or Female

I will like to change it to HIS for male,HER for female and their for female I’m comfortable with that.As Henry explain above i think using a filter code like this will do the work only if i know how to correctly apply it in the buddypress core. Please lend your support. Thanks

“if ( is a male ) {
// the filter will be ‘his’
} else if{
//is a female, the filter will be ‘her’
}
else {
// a group, e.g company; the filter will be ‘their’
}”

Example:
“themeethurpe changed their profile picture 4 days, 12 hours ago”

In the above line of activity “themeethurpe” is a username of a guy who changes his profile picture, but as you can see, “their” above was surpose to be a singular pronoun “his” referring to a man not two or group of people. The same thing happens either for man or woman, I just wish buddypress could differentiate a man from woman in the activities stream using profile information just like facebook and other social network site instead of using plural pronoun “THEIR” for all.

Kindly help out Henry in fixing this filter my problem is not different I have created a profile field Namely gender using radio button in buddypress xprofile members now have opportunity to select their gender male or female. Happy new year friends.

I’ve got this working for the most part on a testing site. I’m using mapped domains that use WordPress’ network functionality.

I’ve got Buddypress working, using the same community throughout the network, but it’s tricky. You have to configure buddypress the same under each site. It works, but I’ve got one small problem. When you create a group under one “site”, the group avatar doesn’t show up when you view it in the other domains.

For example, my base domain is FanCentral.co:

http://fancentral.co/groups/carolina-panthers/ (see the avatar)
– this was created under this base domain

http://charlotte.fancentral.co/groups/carolina-panthers/ (no avatar)

http://fancentral.co/groups/charlotte-hornets/ (no avatar)
– this was created under the “Charlotte” subdomain

http://charlotte.fancentral.co/groups/charlotte-hornets/ (see the avatar)

Compare the two:
http://charlotte.fancentral.co/groups
http://fancentral.co/groups

And one that hasn’t been configured yet:
http://newyork.fancentral.co/groups

That’s more of an s2member question than a BuddyPress one – so, better asked on their forums.

Anyway:

In your PHP template for displaying the user, you can add the following code:

echo get_user_field('s2member_access_label', $user_id);

and to get the $user_id for the displayed user, you can use:

global $bp;
$user_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;

@bmk0220 What you are asking for is exactly what I need as well. I would love to see this in a future Buddypress. Without it, Multisite is limited for use with Buddypress.

Have you made any progress? Have you tried, for instance, Ron Rennick’s bp-multi-network plug-in (link above)?

What I did is I changed the form + validation stuff inside the template files to customize my own forms and validation process.

First of all I didn’t like the default validation process that BuddyPress is using where you have to push Submit and then the script checkes if every field is filled correctly, if not it pushes a text_message into the page through an Action.
Result, often the error message shows up at the top of the page where you aren’t looking and not at the form where the problem occurs, and even more important it’s an extra page-load to get this message into the page.

I didn’t like that so I left everything of that untouched as a back-up system and simply used my own ( Zurb’s ) validation JavaScript to check while writing if the fields are correct.
Plus this JavaScript disables the Submit buttons if a form or field is not valid.

This is a screenshot of the Profile Settings page but all forms work the same so you can just diff into the template files and add alter them.

The script I use is part of Zurb’s Foundation Framework so if you don’t like to work with Frameworks like me you have to strip all the needed code out of it.
http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/abide.html

There are probably also scripts like this one to be found online.

Have you tried BuddyPress Usernames Only? https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-usernames-only/

I suggest looking inside Buddypress media

here is already done what you trying to do, so hope it helps

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.
