BuddyPress.org

Have a look at this.

This provides a way to upload profile pic during registration, but doesn’t force users to upload.
You can probably tweak the plugin to achieve that, although i am not sure how easy that’ll be.

To add javascript to any page, you can put it in any of your theme’s javascript files.

To do layout changes you’ll need an understanding of BuddPress Templates Hierarchy and css customizations.

fields assigned with the URL type – they never show up once data is entered.

Must be something in your theme/plugins. It works by default.

text fields – data entered is being displayed with links added to words and phrases, linking to them as members.

Yeah buddypress does it deliberately. The purpose is to show/search all members who have entered same value in any of the fields.
You can disable it by adding following line of code in bp-custom.php or in your theme’s functions.php:
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );

1. If your theme already has register.php template file, go step 2 directly.
   If not, copy file plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\register.php to themes\your-theme\buddypress\members\register.php
2. Open register.php file and find following code:

   <?php do_action( 'bp_before_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>
   
   <div class="submit">
   	<input type="submit" name="signup_submit" id="signup_submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Complete Sign Up', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
   </div>
   
   <?php do_action( 'bp_after_registration_submit_buttons' ); ?>

   Move this code block to just before the line which says </div><!-- #profile-details-section -->

That should do it.

@bphelp does this also stop public groups from displaying in your activity stream if you are not a member too?

the reason i ask you this bphelp is because remember the old plugin you was working on (i think it was a fork of some code rich fuller posted a few years ago) which was named “activity-privacy-component” ? you left it on github and described it as a jurrasic plugin because of the new plugin “buddypress activity privacy plugin”.

Well that very same “Jurrasic plugin” still works very well today and is still far far far more superior at keeping your stream private compared to the plugin you said was better.

The only one thing that the old “activity-privacy-component” plugin doesnt do is keep the public groups you are not a member of from out of your private stream.

Until the core devs gets this worked out you can use shanebp ‘s solution here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/only-friendsyou-in-activity-feed-has-solution-been-found/
It works with the latest WP/BP just keep in mind the admin can still see all activity and subscribers can also see the admins activity but subscribers will only see activity of other subcribers that are friends and the admins. Make sure you copy the folder:
your-site\wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy to your themes root then go to your-site\wp-content\themes\YOUR-THEME\buddypress\activity\activity-loop.php to make the edit.
Good luck! 🙂

Hi @chatty24

This is currently being worked on by the core developers. See this ticket for progress.

Being able to create a group without logging in is more than ‘clever’.
There have been a few similar reports over the last couple of years – always specific to groups – suggesting that there is a ‘hole’ somewhere, maybe in BP.

I don’t know what the solution is and have been unable to replicate the problem.

@leighgregg
What version of WP and BP are you using?
Are you using any additional plugins or code re BP Groups?

There was an issue that was fixed for BP 2.2

Not sure if this related but I can’t set the register and activate fields when I have s2member active.
If I disable the s2member plugin – the buddypress fields for register and activate are filled in again.

What I would like ideally is that s2member does not interfere with the current login / register set up just gives me an option to add paid levels inside the membership loggedin area.

Is this a set up issue or is it a related bug?

Thanks a lot @gina yes we need to test this fix on 2.2.0 so you’ll need to backup your database (and wp-content files just in case) and upgrade again. Once done paste the script in a bp-custom.php file you will put in your plugins directory. The test patch will only be run If BuddyPress 2.2 is activated. If it’s fixing the issue with invite anyone you can choose to keep it till 2.2.1 is released or If you are afraid to Forget to remove it by then, revert once again to 2.1.1.
