BuddyPress.org

This is a theme-related problem. You should a) use a BuddyPress compatible theme or b) contact the theme author asking them to release a fix.

hi @electrolove,

mostly it’s the theme who doesn’t work with BuddyPress. Actually, BP is working with almost any avaible theme, under condition this thme is respecting WP’s coding standart.

Unfortunatly, your theme is a mix for joomla and wordpress… May work with a WP blog, but i doubt for BP as it doesn’t exactly use the basic page system. And if your theme wasn’t recently updated, it could be a mess to adapt.

They are so many theme that you can choose another one in case of trouble. Why loosing your time with one who doesn’t work, when you can find hundred’s of others in the same time ?

Anyway, ask on theme support, you paid for that. Here we can’t help you, as we have no access to the code.

@danbp –

those are interesting – I’d like to add that anyone considering integrating those should pay close attention to the terms of service, privacy policies, usage restrictions, etc – most that I have found that are “free” either crash ~ 20 users, or are hosted on third party servers that are not in your own control – so reliability, and privacy, third party ads out of your control – stuff like that I always found (aside from quick chat, which runs on own server using sql database I think)

to get a little fancier than quick chat, I have tried more then 50 free / freemium / and premium options out there.. but I had not seen that one pointed out at code canyon – I might buy it and try it to see how it works, unfortunately I have found that even most premium options fail with server load issues once about 20 people are chatting – especially if they use the same mysql that your wordpress is tapping into. I also need to find someone who can go over the code in that one to see how hackable it may or may not be – any suggestions for a security review person?

If you can budget a couple hundred bucks you could get into:

123flashchat, I can say that it is solid enough to keep running for months on end even with lots of chatters.. there is a wp integration kit avail for that premium program – but I have not tried it yet. The support is either really great, or no answer – but I think part of that is my email services auto-blocking stuff from a busy email server in hong kong – and some language barriers.

Another premium option with will require a red5 media server or something similar is av-chat by nusoft – it has buddypress integration that I use – will pull in bp avatars into the chat room and such – it’s pretty solid, and lots of customization options.

I use these as single page chat rooms, not something site-wide on every page.

@danbp or @moderators – I am pretty sure the comment two above which links “cards” is just purely seo link spam 🙁 –

Hi all,

the’re some specific chat plugins for BP ! Have you tested them ?
– BuddyPress Group Tinychat
– Buddypress Group Chat
.. and both are up to date !

For a few bucks, i can buy BPChat

@expertscafe,

please use the code button when you post code.

Why do you think there is an error in BuddyPress ?
The warning only tells you that foreach doesn’t work correctly on YOUR install. No need to copy BP code, we have it all here. Mentionning the error – without server path- is enought.
(removed from your topic for security)

If there would be a BP error, you would find many topics here about that problem. It’s not the case so far i can see.

First thing to do is to debug.
Deactivate all plugins but BP, and activate one of WP default’s theme.
Review BP settings and save your permalinks.
After that, you reactivate plugins one by one and test… If all is OK, reactivate the actual theme.

If you see a probleme again, you can get sure it’s your theme. In that case you have to contact the forest support.

You could also check this in DB’s _users table.

Hi @imath, thank you so much for writing back. For some reason I didn’t get the notification, and was depressed over the site for a month. Today I decided to finally face the issue again, and what a nice surprise!

So my code is:

add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', 'inspired_record_more_types' );
function inspired_record_more_types( $types ) {
     $types[] = 'projects';
     $types[] = 'sfwd-courses';
     $types[] = 'uig_image';
        return $types;
}

add_filter('bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action', 'record_cpt_activity_action', 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action,  $post, $post_permalink ) { 

   if( $post->post_type == 'projects' ) {
	$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s created a new project, %2$s  ', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );
   }
if( $post->post_type == 'sfwd-courses' ) {
	$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s added a new workshop, %2$s  ', 'buddypress'  ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );
   }	
if( $post->post_type == 'uig_image' ) {
	$activity_action  = sprintf( __( '%1$s added a new image, %2$s  ', 'buddypress'  ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' );
   }
   return $activity_action;
}

function bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments( $post_types ) {
      $post_types[] = 'projects'; 
      return $post_types;
  }
  add_filter( 'bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types', 'bbg_record_my_custom_post_type_comments' );

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

I’ve created a ticket about this bug here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6528

This should be fixed for v2.4, which is tentatively scheduled for an autumn release.

In the meantime, you could use the 'bp_verify_nonce_request_url' filter to remove the double port number, which should temporarily fix the issue.

Hi lionel @prabin04

no directly the solution, but you asked for code, here it is:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-favourite-posts-as-a-tab-in-buddypress/

No screenshot ? Anyway, on group activity page, some action to take could be:

$my_fav_count = bp_activity_get_meta( bp_get_activity_id(), 'favorite_count' );

The important thing here is bp_activity_get_meta()

Most of favorite action are related in bp-activity-actions.php, like
$favs = bp_activity_get_user_favorites( bp_displayed_user_id() );
also some in bp-activity-functions.php:659

Thanks for the report.

BP will better support emojis after we’ve upgraded our database schema to support utf8mb4.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6346

More info courtesy of WP here:

The utf8mb4 Upgrade

@djsteveb,

was miffed too, and decided finally to not use emoji’s. IMO unnecessary built-in noise, coming from extarnal server and added to every page without warning the site admin ! I disabled them with this plugin. On another hand, 23% of websites use now emoticons and probably 90% ignore that… Marketing !!!

If you still want some pics (if childish public is the target), see WP MonaLisa, which is even tailored for BuddyPress.

Have a nice day ! 😉 (emoticon ?)

Ya it works very well.

Thank you so much.

But now 1 question arise is that right now i had changed my code manually in bp-core-functions.php file but when i will update my buddypress plugin ,i think that my changes will be erased.

so is that any hook or actions are available so that i can use that hook in my theme functions.php file.

Many Thanks so far.

1) Yes

2) The same as the default user level you set up in WordPress. By default, this should be the ‘subscriber’ role.

3) https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/

4) BuddyPress does not come with a bundled login page. It uses WP’s default wp-login.php page. You can find plugins on the wordpress.org repo to modify the login page to your liking.

hi @maelga,
You can’t actually automatically associate a user to a category.
try Restrict Categories, which let you assign categories to each user via backend.

To associate an xprofile value (or member_type), try this:
