BuddyPress.org

Hi @latinosamorir,

not the complete solution, but the begin of a path. Maybe you can contact the author ?

hi @buddhatunes,

look in bp-members/bp-members-adminbar.php:135

the original function is bp_members_admin_bar_notifications_menu()

Use a language file https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/extending-buddypress/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

You need to look for the theme_location within the template file, not in the source code (inspect element).

THe slow is probably due to plugins and other scripting that the mobile devices have to contact services or ‘dial home’ to use.

Facebook has an app that’s a different approach and if you want to take that you don’t want to be considering a theme at all you’d be looking at a different format.

What you could do is look at conditional loading ie; only show things if not on a mobile. You can do this easily and simply using media queries or more advanced and potentially more issues by using detectors.

It’s a little hard to narrow things down without knowing what theme and other things you have on your site. If you can’t provide a link my suggestion would be to if you can put on the default theme and remove as many (all if can) plugins aside from BuddyPress. Then see if it happens and build things back up. Alternatively, if you can provide a link it may help in at least determining if you have any scripting errors going on.

Whilst I’ve not used it http://buddydev.com/buddypress/buddypress-user-notifications-widget-plugin/ may be useful for this – not sure if updated. I’d say you want to show as a number on top of a png background right? Writing to a png is a whole another story 🙂

Hi,

Seems like you gave up on BuddyPress. Apologies, if we had a hand in it.

Best luck.

Hi,

Sorry! Never received this reply in my mailbox and because we’ve been terribly busy over the holidays, didn’t return to this forum.

I’ll check things today and revert, asap.

@hnla 🙂 Different strokes for different folks. The GAdmin can always demote the GMod if the latter has been naughty not nice. I’m neutral here. Can live with or w/o that GMod capability.

I’d like to first find out if possible what you mean by ‘mobile site’ do you mean your site when viewed on a mobile device (responsive) or are you creating a theme just for mobile sites? I’d only suggest the later you see if you want to do something different/additional from the responsiveness which your theme gets just by being the default theme.

Just to be clear but have you also tried the default BuddyPress theme (one that comes with it) to see if you get errors still with BuddyPress? I say this as a good stick to measure against as updated to the latest version.

@ubernaut bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress-functions.php is in trunk yes. But you could already apply the fix for bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php on this line https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.2/bp-themes/bp-default/functions.php#L115

@mercime that devils advocate argument doesn’t really hold water, if the admin is to trust to the group mod not changing those aspects then what point them being available, if the group admin does indeed want them to change  or have ability to change these details why are these trusted members not simply elevated to group admin a position that can be held by more than one person.

This discussion and any views either way ought to now continue on the ticket as a form of straw poll so to speak and a view taken on which is best approach to follow on the basis of majority opinion.

For the record you do not really need to be adding further plugins to WP to sort out what is actually  not an issue ever related to an application but rests at the server / domain level and in correct server sendmail or other versions of smpt/relay programs configurations and of properly configured email dns records, and requires a little technical knowledge when things don’t work out of the box. Plugins will try and bridge that gap between  correct configurations, and users technical knowledge and I guess if they work alls well and good, but better is that things are sorted out at the real point of  breakage.

So just to clarify this does not need to be done so that WP/ BuddyPress can send emails they have no problem sending emails as long as the server and domain records are correctly setup.

If  your emails are being continually dropped into spam folders it’s because the email server receiving them isn’t able to validate the server as valid for the domain and you likely need to set an SPF record and possibly reverse DNS records but the latter is usually something the host providing the IP address for the server needs to set.

@inkblot Thank you for posting your keen and thorough observations. The arguments you posted for removing that capability from the Group Moderator are valid. You should post your views and suggestions in the trac ticket. Please do feel free to do so.

Playing d-v-l’s advocate 🙂 I would say that before a Group Admin promotes a member to Group Moderator, the GAdmin either knows the member already and trusts him/her or has observed the performance of the member over a period of time and has deemed that the member is a mature, knowledgeable and a responsible person — someone who will not change the group name and description willy-nilly nor be wishy-washy about maintaining order in the forums.

Thanks again and have a happy new year!
