BuddyPress.org

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.

Current BuddyPress works with any theme. All uou need to do is activate a different theme that is not a bp-default child theme

>they can see the list of members in either alphabetical order or by date of last visit.

You’re referring to the Members page?
And you want to show a profile field ( country ) for each member?

>Is it possible for the members to add several pictures, up to 5 for instance?
You need to add a gallery plugin, like https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-media/

This is the same exact problem I was facing a couple days ago. I temporarily fixed it by adding some conditional tags, but I’d rather not muck up index.php for things like this.

Here’s an example of some of the code I added:

<div class="<? if ( is_rtmedia_gallery() OR is_rtmedia_single() OR is_rtmedia_album_gallery() OR is_rtmedia_album() ) : ?>MediaGallery<? else : ?>page<? endif; ?>" id="blog-latest" role="main">

This changes the div class from ‘page’ to ‘MediaGallery’ for rtMedia pages.

<?php if ( have_posts() && !is_rtmedia_gallery() && !is_rtmedia_single() && !is_rtmedia_album_gallery() && !is_rtmedia_album() ) : ?>

This says if isn’t rtMedia related, continue loading index.php as usual.

<?php elseif ( is_rtmedia_gallery() OR is_rtmedia_single() OR is_rtmedia_album_gallery() OR is_rtmedia_album() ) : ?>
				<?php bp_dtheme_content_nav( 'nav-above' ); ?>
					<?php the_content( __( '', 'buddypress' ) ); ?>
					
				<?php bp_dtheme_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>
				
			<?php else : ?>

				<h2 class="center"><?php _e( 'Not Found', 'buddypress' ); ?></h2>
				<p class="center"><?php _e( 'Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn\'t here.', 'buddypress' ); ?></p>

				<?php get_search_form(); ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

This says if it is rtMedia related, load that instead.

Hopefully a fix comes out soon.

At top on menu admin page click screen options and make sure ‘BuddyPress’ is checked

Thanks for taking the time to post your code.

If you’d like to suggest an enhancement, please use trac to submit a ticket.

Better customisation options of the activity stream: ie to be able to define a set of “or” filters for content type, and who. So (with plugin support) I can define a feed to include things from “me or friends or followers” showing “topics and topic replies and posts and new users” (and ideally be able to have a permalink to this with no other fluff on display). The current activity feed selectors are a mess and don’t provide what most people want to see.

Should be nummer 1.

And I don’t even want lots of new features to the activity stream but first just an easy way to customize the default lay-out would be so much pleasant!

All BP pages are very easy to customize, move code around to give the page an unique feeling but when it comes to the activity stream the code is very fixed.

There are about 50-75 Premium BuddyPress themes online for sale and 99% of them have the same activity stream page-layout. While all those premium theme developers can do lots of customization to all other pages the activity stream is like Twitter’s Bootstrap to BuddyPress it always tells you it’s a BuddyPress website without looking at the code.

But all of a sudden nothing works.
