BuddyPress.org

I think it’s in a core file somewhere, having looked into index.php (inside buddypress/templates/members/) now index-directory.php there’s no specific function call that I can see .

However you can build your own search form, just make sure you set the input name to be that of “s” and it should work. With AJAX you can look into buddypress.js to see how the devs have hooked up the form.

hi @batufan,

bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/groups/index.php:10
bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/index.php:10

Functions are
bp_directory_groups_search_form & bp_directory_members_search_form

Respectively in bp-groups/bp-groups-template.php & bp-members/bp-members-template.php

You make a good point.
It definitely should be exposed as a DEFINE, similar to define('BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

I suggest you create an enhancement ticket. Use the same user / pw that you use here.

I posted the same question and no one answered me. This seems to be a common issue with all WordPress/BuddyPress installs (I have a separate WordPress install and the same thing occurs), so it seems to be inherent in the responsive CSS code or something.

This was my question:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/toolbar-empty-for-mobile-logged-out-users/

These other threads also seems to be talking about the same, or a similar issue:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/buddy-bar-not-displaying/
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-show-secondary-navigation-menu-to-logged-out-users/

Doesn’t anyone have any advice, since it’s affecting so many of us?

And no, it was not due to a conflicting plug-in or a theme. Tests were done when the site was just installed with the default themes. The links shows up correctly on desktop, and on my Nexus 7 2013 (1200×1920 resolution) ONLY when it is in landscape mode, but not when it is portrait (empty, black bar is show). And the same empty black bar is shown on my Galaxy Note 3 (1080×1920 resolution) in both portrait and landscape. So it doesn’t seem to be due to just the horizontal resolution – but perhaps the the full (horizontal x vertical) resolution or something.

It’s pretty frustrating.

Previous snippet changed all avatars (user, blogs and groups) which is not what you want. Here’s a snippet which works almost correctly, but not to 100%. Give it a try anyway.

It changes the user avatar depending of an xprofile value.

(add to bp-custom.php)

function bpfr_my_new_avatar_url() {
global $bp;

	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	if ( is_page( 'activity' ) ) {
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();	
	}

$ranking = xprofile_get_field_data ('ranking', $user_id );

	if ($ranking == "Top 25") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/25.png';
	}
	
	if ($ranking == "Top 24") {		
		$url = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .'/custom_img/24.png';
	}
return $url;

}
add_filter( 'bp_core_default_avatar_user', 'bpfr_my_new_avatar_url' );

Create a profile field called “ranking” with 2 options (top 24 & top 25).
Create a folder in your child-theme called “custom_img” and add 2 pictures: 24.png & 25.png (250×250)
If everybody must those avatars, disallow avatar upload in BP settings.
Site default avatar stays as Mystery Man (wp default setting).

You have also to get rid of Gravatar, so you must add this to bp-custom.php
add_filter('bp_core_fetch_avatar_no_grav', '__return_true');

The thing who doesn’t work is related to X & Y are now friends. Both willhave the same avatar.

Can probably by better improved.

BuddyPress does not call class phpmailerException so the error is from something else on your site.

@fugu78 BP/WP versions? Have you tried deactivating plugins except BuddyPress to check if issue is resolved i.e., plugin conflict?

@knutta you need to install bbPress then follow instructions at

Installing Group and Sitewide Forums

couple of pages of discussion in regards to some chat plugin with wp/bp recently:

Chat plugin?

in my limited experience, I would suggest nusoft’s av-chat since you are asking about incorporating video and having an option to save the videos. I don’t think there is any way to auto-mate moving saved video chats into bp – I think you’d have to admin in to your media server and pull files manually then add them to wp/bp yourself.

Maybe you would not need a live video chat plugin that saves files to add, perhaps something more like nusoft’s https://hdfvr.com/ which has a record video option, perhaps that could be incorporated in wp and bp with some custom button api or something (not sure, and if you explore that, let me know what you find out! I’d like to do that too!)

For just text chat with only a few people I like the free “quick-chat” plugin that is in the wp-repo.

Busier chat rooms have only worked for me using nusoft’s av-chat program or 123flashchat’s system. Everything else I have tried chokes after 20 users connect at the same time.

I’m looking into Jitsi and xmpp right now, if I can find some folks to work on an integration with these I may kick in some funding for it. Still learning php and java myself.

Just re-read your post, makes me think you could also use a screen recording software like corel’s videostudio or camtasia to “document all chat” – if you were involved in each one. Not sure what your project is really about, or what exactly you are looking to do, so a few random thoughts from another bp user, not yet a coder.

What version of BP are you using?

Have you seen this?
