BuddyPress.org

@tstrickland415, do you use trunk version ?
BuddyPress 2.3 introduces the member-type-specific directories. But at this time, we are still under BP 2.2.3.1 and my code is for 2.2.x only

You have to find your own solution. I have no trunk install under hand at the moment, sorry.

dont really understand.
this code?

	function bp_get_activity_comment_date_recorded() {
		global $activities_template;

		if ( empty( $activities_template->activity->current_comment->date_recorded ) )
			return false;

		$date_recorded = bp_core_time_since( $activities_template->activity->current_comment->date_recorded );

		/**
		 * Filters the recorded date of the activity comment currently being displayed.
		 *
		 * @since BuddyPress (1.5.0)
		 *
		 * @param string|bool Date for the activity comment currently being displayed.
		 */
		return apply_filters( 'bp_activity_comment_date_recorded', $date_recorded );
	}

and add to function.php?

Do you want to
1) show a picture in place of a radio button ?
2) show a picture related to the radio button (if yes, show pic 1, if no show pic2) ?

If option 1, see here, see also selectbox, etc
If option 2, see here, at least for inspiration

Ok i found here an other code:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activity-time-is-gmt-activity-stream-posted-an-update-time-is-incorrect/

function format_activity_date() {
  $activityDate=bp_get_activity_date_recorded();
  // Get GMT offset from root blog
  $root_blog_offset = get_blog_option( BP_ROOT_BLOG, 'gmt_offset' );
  // Calculate offset time
  $time_offset = $time + ( $root_blog_offset * 3600 );
  // Format the time using the offset and return it; date-i18n retrieves the date in localized format
  return '' . date_i18n("l, M j, Y, g:ia T", strtotime($activityDate) + $time_offset) . '';
}
add_filter('bp_activity_time_since', 'format_activity_date');

The timezone is now the right one for the first posting in stream, but the comments in stream have now the wrong timezone…. 🙁

2.2 Member Types – Setting user member types during registration (xProfile)

Closing this topic as duplicate.

That’s normal: page can’t walk, as they have no feet ! 🙂
ça ne marche pas n’a pas le même sens en anglais. Ils disent ça ne travaille pas (does not work).

You have to create these page manually. This is explained in Getting started guide, configuration section.

Yes indeed, there is a way.

Step by step tutorial with example code which you add to bp-custom.
Note: use this code as is and follow the instruction. Once you understood what it does and how it works, you will be able to modify it to your needs.

First, create a new xprofile field in the first group field (aka Base Group and containing Name as default field). Only fields created in that group are visible on the register page. Call it Type, enter description and choose multiselectbox as field type. Add operator, vendor, coach as select option.

That’s all for the register part handled by BuddyPress.

Now we need to declare the whole thing to get it work on front-end.
Member-type is an additionnal functiony to select members by… type ! Not by role, not by latest, mst popular or anything else. Just (for the moment) by a custom type of your choice.

We have to built a member directory for our types. We have 3 types and they will be shown on 3 new tabs on that directory.

1) we formally declare the member types
2) we count members by type (to stay correctly informative on the directory)
3) we display the tabs

function using_mt_register_member_types() {
	bp_register_member_type( 'operator', array(
		'labels' => array(
			'name'          => __( 'Operators', 'using-mt' ),
			'singular_name' => __( 'Operator', 'using-mt' ),
		),
	) );

	bp_register_member_type( 'vendor', array(
		'labels' => array(
			'name'          => __( 'Vendors', 'using-mt' ),
			'singular_name' => __( 'Vendor', 'using-mt' ),
		),
	) );

	bp_register_member_type( 'coach', array(
		'labels' => array(
			'name'          => __( 'Coaches', 'using-mt' ),
			'singular_name' => __( 'Coach', 'using-mt' ),
		),
	) );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'using_mt_register_member_types' );

function using_mt_count_member_types( $member_type = '', $taxonomy = 'bp_member_type' ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$member_types = bp_get_member_types();

	if ( empty( $member_type ) || empty( $member_types[ $member_type ] ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$count_types = wp_cache_get( 'using_mt_count_member_types', 'using_mt_bp_member_type' );

	if ( ! $count_types ) {
		if ( ! bp_is_root_blog() ) {
			switch_to_blog( bp_get_root_blog_id() );
		}

		$sql = array(
			'select' => "SELECT t.slug, tt.count FROM {$wpdb->term_taxonomy} tt LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->terms} t",
			'on'     => 'ON tt.term_id = t.term_id',
			'where'  => $wpdb->prepare( 'WHERE tt.taxonomy = %s', $taxonomy ),
		);

		$count_types = $wpdb->get_results( join( ' ', $sql ) );
		wp_cache_set( 'using_mt_count_member_types', $count_types, 'using_mt_bp_member_type' );

		restore_current_blog();
	}

	$type_count = wp_filter_object_list( $count_types, array( 'slug' => $member_type ), 'and', 'count' );
	$type_count = array_values( $type_count );

	if ( empty( $type_count ) ) {
		return 0;
	}

	return (int) $type_count[0];
}

function using_mt_display_directory_tabs() {
	$member_types = bp_get_member_types( array(), 'objects' );

	// Loop in member types to build the tabs
	foreach ( $member_types as $member_type ) : ?>

	<li id="members-<?php echo esc_attr( $member_type->name ) ;?>">
		<a href="<?php bp_members_directory_permalink(); ?>"><?php printf( '%s <span>%d</span>', $member_type->labels['name'], using_mt_count_member_types( $member_type->name ) ); ?></a>
	</li>

	<?php endforeach;
}
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'using_mt_display_directory_tabs' );

We also need to sort the members list on each type tab using the loop scope.

function using_mt_set_has_members_type_arg( $args = array() ) {
	// Get member types to check scope
	$member_types = bp_get_member_types();

	// Set the member type arg if scope match one of the registered member type
	if ( ! empty( $args['scope'] ) && ! empty( $member_types[ $args['scope'] ] ) ) {
		$args['member_type'] = $args['scope'];
	}

	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_members_parse_args', 'using_mt_set_has_members_type_arg', 10, 1 );

And we finally clean the cache to stay up to date with the output

function using_mt_clean_count_cache( $term = 0, $taxonomy = null ) {
	if ( empty( $term ) || empty( $taxonomy->name ) || 'bp_member_type' != $taxonomy->name )  {
		return;
	}

	wp_cache_delete( 'using_mt_count_member_types', 'using_mt_bp_member_type' );
}
add_action( 'edited_term_taxonomy', 'using_mt_clean_count_cache', 10, 2 );

That’s all for a members directory page showing All Members and tabed Members by type.

If you want to show the type of a member on his profile header, use this:

function using_mt_member_header_display() {
	$member_type = bp_get_member_type( bp_displayed_user_id() );

	if ( empty( $member_type ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$member_type_object = bp_get_member_type_object( $member_type );
	?>
	<p class="member_type"><?php echo esc_html( $member_type_object->labels['singular_name'] ); ?></p>

	<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'using_mt_member_header_display' );

Or if you want to display the type under each user avatar on the member directory, you can use this snippet. Note: was originally made to add a geoloc shortcode below the member type. I let it as is, so you can see how it’s done.

function who_are_you_directory() { // by member_type name + geoloc (wpgeo me)
$user = bp_get_member_user_id();
$terms = bp_get_object_terms( $user,  'bp_member_type' );

	if ( ! empty( $terms ) ) {
		if ( ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) {		
				foreach( $terms as $term ) {
					echo '<p>' . $term->name . '</p>'; 					
					echo do_shortcode('[gmw_member_info]');
				}		
		}
	} 

}
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'who_are_you_directory' );

Anything inspired by Codex and heavy topics reading.

May this help.

2.2 Member Types – Setting user member types during registration (xProfile)

You can remove the creation option from the template. You have to do this from within a child theme by using a template overload.

Concerned file is bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/create.php

Part to remove for the “hidden” option is

<label>
	<input type="radio" name="group-status" value="hidden"<?php if ( 'hidden' == bp_get_new_group_status() ) { ?> checked="checked"<?php } ?> /> 
	<strong><?php _e('This is a hidden group', 'buddypress' ); ?></strong>
</label>
	<ul>
		<li><?php _e( 'Only users who are invited can join the group.', 'buddypress' ); ?></li>
		<li><?php _e( 'This group will not be listed in the groups directory or search results.', 'buddypress' ); ?></li>
		<li><?php _e( 'Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.', 'buddypress' ); ?></li>
	</ul>

I’m experiencing the same issue. After I visit BuddyPress pages and then navigate to any standard or template page, except the homepage, but including the blog, I get a 404. Sometimes a simple refresh will work. Sometimes navigating to a new page will work. Sometimes the issue will not be fixed unless I refresh Permalinks or log-out and log-in again.

WordPress 4.2.2
BuddyPress 2.2.3.1
bbPress 2.5.7 (though, the issue continues even when bbPress is deactivated)

This issue was asked on another post that was closed before an answer was provided:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddypress-iis-and-randomreoccurring-404-errors/

This post had a resolution:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/page-not-found-error-on-static-pages/

I have checked and Mod_Rewrite is enabled through htaccess as defined here:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /higher/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /higher/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Am I missing anything here? This appears to be an issue with BuddyPress. Does anyone have a resolution?

This comment was kind of on the right track but as most of the people pointed out in that topic, editing core files is a very bad idea.

Instead, you should take a look at this article to familiarise yourself with the Template Hierarchy. That way, you can remove the ‘reply’ link and be sure your modifications will remain after you upgrade BuddyPress.

@ashket That could be related to a theme or a plugin issue because that’s not normal at all. What are your WP/BP versions for that installation? If you change to Twenty Fifteen theme and deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress, is the issue you reported resolved?
