BuddyPress.org

@soccercoach12345 WP/BP versions? Where are you hosted? Have you checked if activation emails are sent and received if you deactivated BuddyPress?

@macpresss I agree in the sense that any additional role for the Group Moderator should be configurable by Site/Group Admins.You can submit a ticket to enhance Mod role at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

I figured you were referring to the Activity table 🙂

Basically, we thought the way we do it now was a good solution several years ago. We were particularly concerned with how large the Activities DB table(s) might get, as we expect them (and probably still do) to be the tables with the largest amount of stored data as every other component adds stuff to the activity stream. If I remember correctly, the idea was that storing the entire string would be the quickest approach — and with the state of BuddyPress’ code base all those years ago, it was probably the right decision.

Several years later, the shortcomings are now fairly obvious — can’t filter it easily, if you change how the string is constructed – only new items have that new format, the old items keep their old format, can’t translate it very easily.

This is likely to be changed in a near-future release to a more dynamically constructed string of text, and the ticket @modemlooper linked to is a good place to keep an eye out if you’d like to help us build it.

Hi. Which theme are you using, what versions of WordPress and BuddyPress are you using, and where did you download the translation file from? Thanks.

Hi @finchkelsey

Have you tried posting your requirements in the BP Jobs Forum? If you’re looking for a BP developer available for hire then that is a good place to start

BP Jobs Board

You can copy the activity loop into your homepage template

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>
    <?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
 
        <?php locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

See https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/ for more information on the activity loop.

@bigtreesjoe check out information posted at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/before-installing/#buddypress-installations

@macpresss Thanks for the Codex contribution, I have however moved it for the moment to the user submitted guides under getting started as the components section is really descriptions of the standard default BP settings.

In reality we do have a page in progress here https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/filters-reference/ which is designed to list filters and defines in one place due to the large number of these.

Yeah I was afraid of that too..

I think I’ve seen some Filter a few days ago to remove a menu-tab. This way you can remove lets say the activity link from popping up on the navigation menu’s.

Try Google at this: BuddyPress + remove + item + PHP_code_that_prints_the_menu()

Hahaha.. I was looking for the same thing yesterday so I made a Codex-page for this question.

https://codex.buddypress.org/buddypress-components-and-features/member/change-members-profile-landing-tab/

You have to add that code to the config.php file.

What are you gonna do with your Groups without Activity system it’s the ‘comments’ part of a group.

Just to make sure where do you want to delete the activity from showing up.

example.org/groups/test-group/ * here */
example.org/members/profile/ * here */

?

You can always remove the activity-loop from the template structure.
When BuddyPress doesn’t past the activity-loop it will not show up on your site of course.

And what results if you switch to a known working theme?

This sounds like a theme issue due to reference to ‘CustomHeadersAndFooters::loop_start()’

Nothing happen after deleting some group codex in function.php.

@kostasze something’s getting lost in translation. Let’s start with: WP/BP versions? What theme are you using? Why are you removing the group codes from your theme’s functions.php file? Did you do as modemlooper mentioned above?

Rename wp-content/plugins to plugins-off and then try to access your admin.
This will disable all plugins and let you back into site. Once back into site, rename folder back to plugins. If you deleted anything from the BuddyPress folder, go to plugins page in admin and delete and reinstall BuddyPress.
Never remove or delete anything out of the BuddyPress plugin folder.

There is a bit of discussion on this in a trac ticket https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3856

I’m confused. Did you delete a folder out of the BuddyPress plugin or did you just uncheck groups from settings or both?

Hi, I found this thread on my travels and it worked a treat, so i thought i’d share. Just stop discouraging search engines under settings>reading, then post a new reply or topic n the forum and it will now show. Don’t ask me why.

you should put any code that is not theme related into bp-custom.php https://codex.buddypress.org/plugindev/bp-custom-php/

It was basically line 106-141 but it won’t work if you cut and paste. You will need php knowledge to make it work.

That function will just block a message from getting sent for non friends. You would need to edit it for only certain users.

It would make a great plugin to allow users to block specific users from getting messaged.

@mayur-hotkar Create a new blank Page titled “Register” or “Join” or whatever you choose to name your registration page. Create another new blank page titled “Activate” or “Confirm”, etc. Then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Pages and assign the new pages you created to respective Registration element.
