BuddyPress.org

Hi @rossagrant,

can you make a test with the trunk version ?

Many details have been modified around the load more area.
Are you aware that bp-default is no more included in BuddyPress ? (yes, probably 😉 )
The future of the bp-default theme
I’m affraid that compatibility issues have not the priority for the moment, bp-default is a few step away to be added to the wordpress.org theme repo and BP itself is in a cleaning stage from this theme.

FYI, see also these tickets
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5629
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5687
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5779

Both sites are on the same server with the same settings. But do they use the same DB ?
Have you tried to activate/deactivite the load more option in BP’s settings ? Maybe mobile devices don’t support a 5 mn latency ? Or some weird cookie issue ?

@iryna_b,

if you tried couple of times, have you deleted some component pages and recreate them ? If yes, it is possible that these delayed pages are still in the trash. If so, you have to clear it.

Now that you’re sure to have only one page for registration and one for activation, recheck your WP settings, the permalinks (anything but not by default), deactivate all plugins except BP and activate the 2014 theme and check if something changed.
If ok, reactivate your plugins one by one, and depending the result, you contact the plugin author or the theme support and ensure yourself it is compatible with buddypress.

For the 2nd question: yes !

New post or a page publication is made by WordPress, not by BuddyPress.
The only pages BP needs are those created for each activated component. The content of these page is generated dynamically, depending of the context, and in fact, these pages are only intended for internal purpose, to fit with WordPress’s fonctionnalities.
In a few words, BP is using the wp page system, but doesn’t use a page like WP.

So the question is how to allow your users to publish a blog post directly from the frontend.

For pages, it’s a bit more delicate.
WordPress pages are generally used for displaying static content. That’s why publishing pages is under the responsability of the site owner and/or an editor, but not allowed (by default) for authors or contributors. Also, accessing to pages will need some menu adjustment.

I wouldn’t recommend to let your authors handle pages.

Add Meta Box to Admin Extended User Profile

Did you tried this plugin or worse, for inspiration ?

Hi @timvango,

this is not a buddypress related question. Media attachment is a typical WP job. So no direct answer to this here, but you could try the WP-ShowHide plugin. Normally it hides only text, but the author did a new version who also manage galeries (beta ?).

Try this in your theme/functions.php or plugins/bp-custom.php

function demonja_group_requests( $request ) {

	$request = str_replace(array("\r\n", "\r", "\n"), "<br/>", $request);
	return '<br/>' . $request;

}
add_filter( 'bp_group_request_comment', 'demonja_group_requests', 1, 1 );

I’m still not clear on what you’re trying to do.

Those hooks should provide a starting point.
But adding profile fields dynamically and adding/setting dynamic values to existing fields are 2 different things.

See:
buddypress\bp-xprofile\bp-xprofile-admin.php
re adding adding profile fields dynamically.

The latter item should be quite straightforward.

Then, as you point out, there is the lamentable difference between field handling in reg and profile.

Hi @sundev

Check out the Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs article. To customise the label I think you’ll need to use a language file.

If you also want to change the slug in the URL, try adding this to your bp-custom.php file define( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'mails' );

The template is here:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\request-membership.php

I don’t know of any plugins that handle customizing that area.

> Is there an easy way to customize this tab?

Easy?
Yes, fairly easy, if you have some skills as a WP / BP developer.

What do you mean by new entrance ? You’re working on a WordPress powered site using the BuddyPress plugin.

Some solutions here, given by @boone

In BP now uses the bbPress plugin for forums, sitewide or groups.

Group cats would be a great built-in feature.
Have a look at this plugin.
Here’s an article about it.

Hi Arpit2011,

Either

1. Copy the register.php page from the BuddyPress plugin bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members directory into the root of your theme directory and amend it to your requirements

or

2. Install Gravity forms and the Gravity forms user registration plugins and create a form that maps to the extended BuddyPress profiles, and insert it into the page you have chosen in BuddyPress settings.

After doing either, make sure you have the following in your theme functions.php file

add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );
