BuddyPress.org

@emidio007 – are you really using the old never updated bp-album still? I had to switch to rtmedia album since it seemed that no one was working on any other album plugin or making this (what I consider extremely important) functionality a part of BP core.

on the block user thing I had brought up similar issues here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/report-user-report-abuse-flag-something/

but no one could tell me if anything was actually working properly with current versions of stuff. Glad to see @shanebp posting above, sounds like there is hope that something with this function is current and working.

BuddyPress doesn’t provide forums.

You need a separate plugin: bbPress

Have you tried this plugin?

hi @ahd904,

FYI, read here:

Group Extension API

hi @nzshock,

as soon as BP 2.2 will be out (end january) this can be done easily.

If you’re comfortable with coding and won’t wait, you might read this topic.
Or you can try s2Member plugin.

I suggest to wait… 😉

Yeah, it can be frustrating to change some strings.
I’m not sure why you’re having trouble with the .mo approach.

For one or two changes, you can use a function in your theme/functions.php or in bp-custom.php
Try this:

function example_gettext_with_context( $translated, $text, $context, $domain ) {

     if ( 'buddypress' !== $domain )
        return $translated;

     switch ( $text ) {

        case 'Site-Wide Activity':
            return 'text you want to appear instead';

        default:
            return $translated;
    }

    return $translated;
}
add_filter( 'gettext_with_context', 'example_gettext_with_context', 11, 4 );

This is the code I added at line 278 in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/lib/class_bpfb_binder.php to create the action. The credit for this code is @Juanma in WordPress.org forum. (couldn’t find the original thread). In this case I’m creating an action for images upload.

function ajax_update_activity_contents () {
  $bpfb_code = $activity = '';
  $aid = 0;
  $codec = new BpfbCodec;
  if (@$_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']) {
    $images = $this->move_images($_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']);
    $bpfb_code = $codec->create_images_tag($images);
    $type = 'bpfb_share_wall_photos';
  }

  $bpfb_code = apply_filters('bpfb_code_before_save', $bpfb_code);

  // All done creating tags. Now, save the code
  $gid = (int)@$_POST['group_id'];
  if ($bpfb_code) {
    global $bp;
    $content = @$_POST['content'] . "\n" . $bpfb_code;
    $content = apply_filters('bp_activity_post_update_content', $content);
    $user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

    $author = bp_core_get_userlink( $author_id );
    $activity_url = bp_activity_get_permalink( $item_id );

    $aid = $gid ?
      groups_post_update(array('conte nt' => $content, 'group_id' => $gid)) : 
      bp_activity_add(
        array(
          'action' => apply_filters( 'activity_update', sprintf( __( '%s shared a link', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
          'content' => $content,
          'component' => 'activity',
          'type' => $type,
          'user_id' => $user_id
        )
      );
      if ($aid) {
			ob_start();
			if ( bp_has_activities ( 'include=' . $aid ) ) {
				while ( bp_activities() ) {
					bp_the_activity();
					if (function_exists('bp_locate_template')) bp_locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
					else locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
				}
			}
			$activity = ob_get_clean();
		}
		header('Content-type: application/json');
		echo json_encode(array(
			'code' => $bpfb_code,
			'id' => $aid,
			'activity' => $activity,
		));
		exit();
	}
}

And this is the code that works for activity stream. It shows just the activities with this action, but when you click the ‘load more’ button it loads the regular stream.
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=bpfb_share_wall_photos') ) : ?>

Hello @ARCangelGIRL, I’m facing the same situation and @shanebp solution worked for displaying the action I wanted in the activity stream. But the Load More button is loading all the actions, not just the one I created. I tried to filter the bp ajax querystring in many different ways but it didn’t work. The last try was this https://buddypress.org/support/topic/simply-trying-to-filter-the-bp_ajax_querystring-via-ajax/ .
