BuddyPress.org

I found the solution to changing the title here – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/customizing-buddypress-activity-wall/#post-237312 – but now none of my posts are showing… What did I do wrong? Is there another file I have to change?

Thanks bro, had a look at that plug in but it hasn’t been updated since 2013 and isn’t compatible with my version of WordPress.

Sounds like a great plug-in though, if it works (haha).

Hope you get it fixed.

Still gonna try to do with without a plug-in though as i’ve done all the legwork manually already, just need to stop buddypress from enqueuing the original files (or at very least dequeue them in my functions.php). Just can’t find the functions in BP that are loading them originally.

Brilliant! It worked a treat, and I used the ‘user_register’ as suggested. So for anyone else looking for this solution, this is the code i used to turn some on and some off by default on new user registration:

add_action( 'user_register', 'bpdev_set_email_notifications_preference');
function bpdev_set_email_notifications_preference( $user_id ) {
//I am putting some notifications to no by default and the common ones to yes to enable it.
//ref. https://bp-tricks.com/snippets/changing-default-buddypress-notifications-settings and BP forum
$settings_keys = array(
'notification_activity_new_mention' => 'yes',
'notification_activity_new_reply' => 'yes',
'notification_friends_friendship_request' => 'no',
'notification_friends_friendship_accepted' => 'no',
'notification_groups_invite' => 'no',
'notification_groups_group_updated' => 'no',
'notification_groups_admin_promotion' => 'no',
'notification_groups_membership_request' => 'no',
'notification_messages_new_message' => 'yes',
);
foreach( $settings_keys as $setting => $preference ) {
bp_update_user_meta( $user_id, $setting, $preference );
}
}

and this went in my child theme functions.php file.
Hooray! Thanks so much again – it will make a big different to our users experience.
Cheers 🙂

Thank. I did added custom menu item. But i try load custom template when open ,y custom page on member profile. I use this code

function bp_gf_ua_profile_nav_add()
{
    bp_core_new_nav_item(
        array(
            'name' => __('Email preferences', 'buddypress'),
            'slug' => 'email-preferences',
            'position' => 3,
            'show_for_displayed_user' => true,
            'screen_function' => 'bp_gf_ua_profile_load_template',
            'item_css_id' => 'all-conversations'
        )
    );
}

function mb_show_posts2() {
    echo "Test Text";
}

function bp_gf_ua_profile_load_template()
{
    add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'mb_show_posts2' );
    bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/email-preferences/preferences' ));
}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_gf_ua_profile_nav_add' );

But always display memeber-loop template. What i doing wrong?

Thanks!

ok, in the end I used this to solve the problem, as I ran into issues when trying to save an array of arrays with the bp functions. Just in case someone is looking for this as well:
First: I stripped the slashes before saving serialized data to the DB with a filter
Second: I had to copy/create a different xprofile_get_field_data() function, as it would not get complex serialized values (array of arrays). Single arrays it works ok, but not nested arrays. Basically I had to remove all those filters that were called during xprofile_get_field_data().
It’s hacky, but I tried many options. This seems to be the one that worked in the end.

/**
 * Fetches profile data for a specific field for the user.
 *
 * When the field value is serialized, this function unserializes and filters
 * each item in the array.
 *
 * @package BuddyPress Core
 * @param mixed $field         The ID of the field, or the $name of the field.
 * @param int $user_id         The ID of the user
 * @param string $multi_format How should array data be returned? 'comma' if you want a
 *                             comma-separated string; 'array' if you want an array
 * @uses BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byid() Fetches the value based on the params passed.
 * @return mixed The profile field data.
 */
function lw_xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $user_id = 0, $multi_format = 'array' ) {

	if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	}

	if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	if ( is_numeric( $field ) ) {
		$field_id = $field;
	} else {
		$field_id = xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( $field );
	}

	//d($field_id, 'The field ID ><><><><><>><>>>>>>>_+++++++++++++');
	if ( empty( $field_id ) ) {
		return false;
	}

	$values = maybe_unserialize( BP_XProfile_ProfileData::get_value_byid( $field_id, $user_id ) );
	//d($values, 'The values <><><>>><><><><><><><><>><');

	return $values;
}

add_filter( 'xprofile_filtered_data_value_before_save', 'lw_strip_slashes_before_db', 10, 3);

function lw_strip_slashes_before_db($filtered_value, $value, $data_obj ) {
	//d($filtered_value, '$filtered_value');
	//d($value, '$value');
	//d($data_obj, '$data_obj');
	if ( is_serialized($value) ) {
		$filtered_value = stripslashes($filtered_value);
	}
	return $filtered_value;
}

Thanks for the clarification, although I’m still a little lost.

Upon further research, the only BuddyPress actions I really need are:

1. created activity wall update in profile
2. created activity wall comment in profile

I’ve been digging through the myCred plugin files, and have found these:

1. bp_activity_posted_update
2. bp_activity_comment_posted

Just to clarify, these are the action hooks used in BuddyPress for when a user posts an activity update or activity comment? Thanks for any insights.
