BuddyPress.org

@shanebp

The change to ‘bp_ready’ gets past the “crapstop” but my plugin no longer shows up in the menu. Although i’ve always thought ‘bp_loaded’ was the proper hook here, for the moment i’ll take it.

Here’s the full bit of code. Perhaps i’m not init the class properly here?


function curgi_group_import_init() {

}
add_action( 'bp_ready', 'curgi_group_import_init', 20 );


@hugo
Thank you for taking the time to respond. The advice on changing the name in the plugin folder allowed me to get back into the wp-admin log in. After reading what you said about I looked at the ‘Activation’ drop down and it was set to login so I think that is where I went wrong. When I change it to none buddypress informs me ‘The following active BuddyPress Components do not have associated WordPress Pages: Activate. Repair’ what kind of page so I have set for that drop down menu? Do I need an additional plug in or do I just make a new page for it? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you again!

Thank you but your solution is outdated. I’ve found it also while searching.
And thats the big problem with buddypress. There was an update about one year ago and everything changed. So nearly all common customizations do not work any more.

Thats the reason why the plugin ‘buddypress custom profile menu’ also doesn’t function anymore.

Fortunately I found the solution. It looks like this:

function profile_new_nav_item() {

		global $bp;

		bp_core_new_nav_item(
			array(
				'name'                => 'Contact Athlete',
				'slug'                => 'contact_athlete',
				'default_subnav_slug' => 'extra_sub_tab',
				'position'            => 160,
				'screen_function'     => 'view_manage_tab_main'
			)
		);
	}

	add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_new_nav_item', 10 );
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	function view_manage_tab_main() {
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bp_template_content_main_function' );
		bp_core_load_template( 'template_content' );
	}

	function bp_template_content_main_function() {
		if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
			wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
		}
	}
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	function profile_new_subnav_item() {
		
		global $bp;

		bp_core_new_subnav_item( 
			array(
				'name'            => 'Extra Sub Tab',
				'slug'            => 'extra_sub_tab',
				'parent_url'      => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav[ 'contact_athlete' ][ 'slug' ] . '/',
				'parent_slug'     => $bp->bp_nav[ 'contact_athlete' ][ 'slug' ],
				'position'        => 10,
				'screen_function' => 'view_manage_sub_tab_main'
			) 
		);
	}
	
	// = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

	add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'profile_new_subnav_item', 10 );

	function view_manage_sub_tab_main() {
		add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bp_template_content_sub_function' );
		bp_core_load_template( 'template_content' );
	}

	function bp_template_content_sub_function() {
		if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
			bp_get_template_part('my-contact-form');
		} else {
			wp_login_form( array( 'echo' => true ) );
		}
	}

I hope it helps anyone.

Finally I’d like to say that I have never seen such a bad documentation in development as in buddypress. I know buddypress is free but WordPress is free too and they have a great doc.

Yes, I was just playing around – I don’t intend using it – I was actually looking for the theme that’s currently used on the buddypress.org site – this theme with the red bar on top – would you happen to know where I can find it? I like it since the buddybar isn’t right up top, so it’s more noticable.

I’ve also been looking for a way to extract the menu that you get from the buddy bar so as to use it as a sidebar widget. I have used the “(Buddy Press) Log in”, but when you log in, it doesn’t show the other options that you get with buddy bar, i.e. activity, profile, …, settings with the nice submenus.

I did try trawling the php code but I haven’t found it as yet. Is there an easy way to extend the Buddy Press login widget so that once you log in you get these other options as well?

Apologies if this is now going into another subject area – should I repost the new question as a new topic?

As to the original question, I think you solved it way back when you asked me to empty the pages trash and to rename the slugs. I still don’t know why my FF doesn’t work. I suspect that it is just not accpeting my log in, and that’s why I don’t get the bar. Also would explain why the login and register options don’t change. Perhaps the reason it doesn’t accept logins because I do all my wp admin through firefox? Anyway I’m prepared to live with it since it seems only the firefox on my local machine doesn’t get the bar.

Many thanks for all your help

I stumbled upon this post suggesting a snippet to put into bp-custom.php (a tweaks and snippets file for buddy press located in the plugins directory), but I can’t get it to work. I think there is an issue with my coding.

I am using BuddyPress 2.1.1

Here is my bp-custom.php file:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here

//Change Admin Bar Login Links
function custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu() {
    global $bp;
    global $wp;
    remove_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'bp_adminbar_login_menu', 2);
    if (is_user_logged_in())
        return false;
    echo '<li class="bp-login no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_login_frm();">' . __('Log In', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    // Show "Sign Up" link if user registrations are allowed
    if (bp_get_signup_allowed()) {
        echo '<li class="bp-signup no-arrow"><a data-reveal-id="tmpl_reg_login_container" href="javascript:void(0);" onClick="tmpl_registretion_frm();">' . __('Sign Up', 'buddypress') . '</a></li>';
    }
}

add_action('bp_adminbar_menus', 'custom_bp_adminbar_login_menu', 1);

?>

Sorry I thought I was clear. I dont need an example of how to create the tab and the submenus.

What I did was write a class that creates a top level member area tab called Favorites that consolidates all types of favorites within a single tab. https://github.com/colabsadmin/bp-favorites/blob/master/bp-favorites.php

The submenus that have been created so far are Activity, Topics, Posts and a few more for some CPTs that I’ve written. This will make it easier for my users to find their favorites when they cant remember if it came from a topic, posts, activity, etc. Instead of jumping around from tab to tab, its all in one tab. The only submenu that doesnt work is Activity. The code, which I provided in my first question, was copied directly from Buddypress core code with one change to use ‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’. I used similar code to display content in all the other submenus. For example, the following shows the favorite topics

// Favorite topics
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name'            => __( 'Topics', 'kleo' ),
		'slug'            => "topics",
		'parent_url'      => $bp->displayed_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'] . '/',
		'parent_slug'     => $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'],
		'screen_function' => 'bbp_member_forums_screen_favorites',
		'position'        => 10,
		'item_css_id'     => 'favorites'
));

So, my question, does bp_activity_screen_favorites() only work within the context of /members/membername/activity action? Or can it be used elsewhere as in /members/membersname/favorites?

I do not want add a new position in menu. I would like to add seperator “#main” in urls in buddypress menu (http://s13.postimg.org/vl0x0ghhz/Bez_nazwy_2.jpg). Seperator #main -> scroll down page, under header.

I try this code for change url for friends:
define ( 'BP_FRIENDS_SLUG', 'friends/#main' );
but i see 404 page.

Pr

I fint that i must paste to url “#main” that i will be section “main” first. But where i can change a link in buddypress menu?
I would like to will be that for:
1. Message: http://forexample.com/members/admin/messages/#main
2. Profile: http://forexample.com/members/admin/#main
3. Notifications: http://forexample.com/members/admin/notifications/#main
4. etc.
5. etc.

Where or How i can add “#main” ?

@r-a-y:

“then simply edit the page title under the “Pages” menu in the WP dashboard.

No, this does not work:

My page titles there were – already before changing the bp-activity-loader.php and the bp-groups-loader.php – (and are there still) ‘Neuigkeiten’ and ‘Gruppen’:

http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/WP-Seiten-Titel.jpg
und
http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Neuigkeiten.jpg

Nevertheless, in the frontend was displayed ‘Side-Wide Activities’ and ‘Groups’:

http://1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Page-Titles.jpg

And there is displayed now ‘Gruppen’ – because I changed it inside the bp-groups-loader.php.

And it is displayed ‘Neuigkeiten aus dem 1a-Spielwiese-Netzwerke’ (and not only ‘Neuigkeiten’) – because the bp-activity-loader.php (and not the WP Admin-Panel) is decisive.

Therefore again:

How can I prevent, that my changed bp-activity-loader.php and bp-group-loader.php files will be re-changed through the next BuddyPress-Update? – Would it work to place them somewhere into my child-theme-folder? And if so: Where precisely inside that folder I would have to place them?

Follow-up:

7th:

Capability Manager Enhanced to define custom user roles, if you’re not satisfied with the default wordpress roles (subscriber, contributor,…).
The first step is to create your user roles

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-different-profile-types-and-different-user-roles/

As ready implied there: I did this – and it works so far.

8th:

Create a xprofile field (selectbox) with the title “User Role” and name the options “Band Role” and “Fan Role” – in my case. You can call them whatever you want. Place this field in the “base” profile group, otherwise it won’t be shown during registration. Also make the field “required”. In my case the user can’t decide, if the visibility of the field can be changed.

I did it already, when I installed and activated ‘BP Profile Search’-plugin – and it works.

However, to choosed a dropdown menu and the categories ‘team’ and ‘fan’.

9th:

I modified:

?php
function custom_bp_core_signup_user($user_id) {
    $user_role = strtolower(xprofile_get_field_data('User Role', $user_id));
    switch($user_role) {
        case "Band Role":
            $new_role = 'band';
            break;
        case "Fan Role":
            $new_role = 'fan';
            break;
    }
    wp_update_user(array(
        'ID' => $user_id,
        'role' => $new_role
    ));
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1);

into:

function custom_bp_core_signup_user($user_id) {
    $user_role = strtolower(xprofile_get_field_data('Mitglieder-Kategorie (Team oder Fan?)', $user_id));
    switch($user_role) {
        case "Team":
            $new_role = team';
            break;
        case "Fan":
            $new_role = 'fan';
            break;
    }
    wp_update_user(array(
        'ID' => $user_id,
        'role' => $new_role
    ));
}
add_action( 'bp_core_signup_user', 'custom_bp_core_signup_user', 10, 1);

(I omitted <?php, because I created not a new bp-costum.php, rather inserted the code into my yet existing bp-costum.php. I inserted the modified code above the line ?>.)

I did not understand, which effect this insertion should have – but, however, – as far as I see – it causes no harm.

Did anyone understood, for which purpose the above mentioned code is?

10th:

I inserted as well:

//hide the user role select field in edit-screen to prevent changes after registration
add_filter("xprofile_group_fields","bpdev_filter_profile_fields_by_usertype",10,2);
function bpdev_filter_profile_fields_by_usertype($fields,$group_id){

//only disable these fields on edit page
if(!bp_is_profile_edit())
return $fields;
//please change it with the name of fields you don't want to allow editing
$field_to_remove=array("User Role");
$count=count($fields);
$flds=array();
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
if(in_array($fields[$i]->name,$field_to_remove))
unset($fields[$i]);
else
$flds[]=$fields[$i];//doh, I did not remember a way to reset the index, so creating a new array
}
return $flds;
}

into my bp-costum.php – again above the line ?>.

It does not work:

— threre the user role is still changeable:

http://kampfsportlerinnenneuwied.1a-spielwiese.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2014/09/user_role_still_changeble.jpg

— http://1a-spielwiese.de/members/kampfsportlerinnenneuwied/profile/edit/group/1 causes an redirection error. – The redirection error disappears, when I’m not logged in as kampfsportlerinnenneuwied, rather as superadmin.

Hi @mercime,

I have changed to the Twenty Fourteen Theme and deactivated all plugins except buddypress, with the twenty fourteen theme everything works fine and there is no duplicate Buddypress profile menus with all plugins activated, I am using the bp-social child theme from wpmudev, even when all plugins are deactivated except buddypress the issue is still there with this customized child theme. Also when i switch to the parent theme bp-social there is also no duplicate menu with all plugins activated.

Really need some help with this one!

Thanks,

Wayne,

Specs…
WP 3.9.2
BP 2.0.2
I use Bluehost
No Core Files Changed
Also using BuddyMenu 2.2.0 to utilize shortcode for community homepage
I am using BuddyPress with OptimizePress 2.0 and creating a community page.
I have enabled the members to create groups

Everything works well except for the fact that members cannot see public groups or a group directory.

From the Groups Menu the Sub-menus are “Memberships” and “Invitations”
In the “order by” drop down there is no way of finding anything either.

I want new members to be able to access the group directory and join the public groups I already created with the admin account.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, @henrywright –

I think TML just handles redirects after logging in or out. What I’m looking for is a way to manage the redirect when someone who isn’t logged in tries to visit a page that’s only for members, or someone visits a page that their membership type doesn’t allow them access to.

For example, I’d like anyone to be able to see the member and group directories, but only members should be able to look at individual profiles and the group pages and forums.

That being said, I was thinking today that I’d actually like separate pages for visitors or people who aren’t logged in to be able to see those things and other info, so maybe I’ll handle it that way. I guess then what I’m actually looking for is a way to change the top menu depending on whether someone is a logged in member or not.

Sorry for a babble. This is my first swing at BuddyPress, so it’s all trial and error for me right now! Thanks for the help!
