BuddyPress.org

Hi @doremdou
BP group activities notifier perhaps ?

There is also Buddypress Notification Manager which make this for groups

• A member invites you to join a group
• Group information is updated
• You are promoted to a group administrator or moderator
• A member requests to join a private group for which you are an admin

it does not send notifications when SOMEONE JOINS the group and I need it
You need it ? Well, but that isn’t enough !
Who should receive the notif ?

Both are old, and the 2nd is still working with 2.0.2.

You asked how to fix %20 issue.

The BP response to that is: // Use urlencode() rather than rawurlencode().
I you hav suche %20 in some url’s, you have to find what is genrate it. Or go into the DB and remove the spaces manually. This means searching all %20 occurence.

if anyone knows how to fix the url spaces in the name, like what BuddyPress does, that would be amazing

Does this means that you use something, but not BP, who create such space mark ? A custom theme perhaps, or a plugin ?

Theme name and plugin list, please ! 😉

@mooieautosnl,

buddypress doesn’t handle the blog(s), it only show them à la BP.
BP comes up with some witget and you can activate them from the widget dashboard. The most relevant, even if he doesn’t exclusively handle author’s post, is Recently active members, who let you choose from 3 different filters: active, recent, popular.

You can also search on the WP plugin repo if a more accurate plugin exist

Hi @seeingblues2,

Configure BuddyPress

Check also the permalinks and give details about your theme or better give an url so somebody can go to see what happens.

@christernet,

you reply on a topic started over 2 years ago…Please open a new topic and give some details about your config.
check your install first and consider also what is written here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/when-asking-for-support-2/

@mjc82in I think you still need to install https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/ for theme compatibility.

@christernet Assign the new Register and Activate pages in Settings > BuddyPress > Page as noted in https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/register-and-activation-pages/ ? If you already did, deactivate other plugins except BP and/or change to one of WP default themes to check what’s causing the issue.

Take a look at this hook
do_action( 'groups_created_group', $group->id, $group );

in buddypress\bp-groups\bp-groups-functions.php ~L. 161

Use that hook to connect to a function that changes the submitted name.

Hi @halo-diehard,

put it into bp-custom.php

Reference:

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

The %20 sanitizing thing is already used. And answer is in the snippet.

This is actually in /bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php

if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
if ( bp_is_username_compatibility_mode() ) {
// Sanitize for spaces. Use urlencode() rather
// than rawurlencode() because %20 breaks JS
$username = urlencode( $user->user_login );
} else {
$username = $user->user_nicename;
}

I just found this thread, and I have the exact same issue. So glad there is a fix, but I don’t know where to put this that was posted above:

define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );

Also, like is asked above, if anyone knows how to fix the url afterwards from %20% to a hyphen for spaces in the name, like what BuddyPress does, that would be amazing.

Yes, I can do database edits, if I know what needs to be changed.

Thanks 😀

hi @sallymander,

use a child theme to do this.
Copy members-loop.php file into /your-child-them/buddypress/members/ folder.

Replace line 16
if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) ) ) :

by

if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&populate_extras&type=alphabetical' ) ) :

Added the answer for the upcoming question: i want the list in alphabetical order. 🙂

Reference

Members Loop

Which theme do you use ?
Is BP set up correctly ? Have you pages activated for each component ? Activities page exist and is activated by default, but you have to check this anyway. Perhaps did you removed the page before you deativate the component ?

buddypress.php is ordinarly used in a child-theme to replace theme’s page.php
If bp_get_activity_directory_permalink() is not recognized, it is most probably because the file doesn’t exist for buddypress, or better said, is outside of his scope.

If this file is shipped with the framework, you have to inquire in the framework doc or to tell about this incident to the author.

>Okay, it worked!!!

You mean using the register_activation_hook ?
btw – you should still check to see if the field exists before you create it – to avoid duplications if they deactivate / reactivate the plugin.

Or delete the field by using this hook:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_deactivation_hook

>can you please tell me what if it’s in the functions.php file, do I need to use the bp_init then or something else?

Perhaps bp_loaded is more appropriate, you’ll have to try it and find out.

BP related functions are usually placed in bp-custom.php
