BuddyPress.org

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!

Well if i deactivate the widget, the announcement shouldn’t be there. And if i deactivate buddypress from the plugins menu the message is gone so i don’t think it’s theme related.

Could you tell me in simple english what i can do (Step by step) cause i’m not that good a English speaker.

If i drag the Widget to the sidebar from the admin panel the only thing i can fill in is a title for the widget. A new message is impossible, so somethings messed up, but when i apply changes the old notification is there again.

Screenshots of how it is right now:

Hi,

unfortunately I still have the same problem.
I have buddy press just uninstalled and reinstalled. It changes nothing. I have disabled all plugins and activated BuddyPress. The problem arises immediately. So it can have nothing to do with the other plugins.

The problems:
When I click on the navigation bar on profile, the error message 404 appears.
In the menus, no choice point for BuddyPress appears.

Please help me as soon as possible. The site should go online these days.

Many thanks and best regards

Yes, I know you can edit all the field from the back end. However, I am trying to get it to allow you to show and edit the fields from the front end. Here were the steps I am thinking about using:

1) Use BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin to create new tabs on the profile page like, “about”
2) make a function in function.php of my theme that would display the content for a user and allow them to edit it if it was their profile.
3) create a shortcode function that linked to the function in step 2.
4) Add the shortcode in the new page created with BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin in step 1.

I know how to do step 1, 3, and 4. I have an idea of how to do step 2, but I am a little fuzzy on it. Here is what I was thinking(I don’t really know php):

function ProfileAboutPageContent(){
    if(bp_loggedin_user_id() == $GLOBALS['bp']->displayed_user->userdata->user_login)
    {
    echo "<p>'"bp_profile_field_data( 'field=User Bio' )"'</p>";
    //Allow user to edit the content(not sure how)
    } elseif {
    echo "<p>'"bp_profile_field_data( 'field=User Bio' )"'</p>";
    {
}
add_shortcode('AboutContent', 'ProfileAboutPageContent');

Are there any errors in this code? I am not sure how to allow users to edit the content if they are the right user. Any ideas on how I could change this code? I am planning on putting this code in the function.php of my current theme.

The idea is that after I get this function and short code right I can add the shortcode to the new page I can create with the BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin.

If anyone would be willing to help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

OK RESOLVED.

Thanks NM, Yes it was the BuddyPress Album component that I had disabled while trying to sort out the group avatars and not reactivated while trying to fix this error.

When I reactivated the BP Album plugin the error message disappeared.

So it was specific to the theme I set that menu item on – it did go away when I changed the theme – thanks Hugo.

And thanks again NM

Cheers!

That’s about all the plugins that I have active that play a heavy part in Buddypress or are loosely connected to it.

It’s my theme and I code WordPress themes for like 5 years now but I don’t see myself as a Developer it’s more a hobby 🙂

I’m solid at HTML-CSS and can read PHP when I see it happen but I can’t write PHP it out of the box.

This error shows up when I try to hide a complete xProfile-group-ID or just an unique xProfile-field-ID from the loop.

This is what I did.
Inside: my-theme/buddypress/members/single/profile/profile-loop.php
I found the start of the loop

<?php if ( bp_has_profile() ) : ?>
....

My first thought was, maybe there are default options here to control the output of which ID’s will be visible so I started the search how the bp_has_profile() was build and looked into plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-template.php and found this at line 150:

....

$defaults = array(
	'user_id'             => bp_displayed_user_id(),
	'profile_group_id'    => false,
	'hide_empty_groups'   => true,
	'hide_empty_fields'   => $hide_empty_fields_default,
	'fetch_fields'        => true,
	'fetch_field_data'    => true,
	'fetch_visibility_level' => $fetch_visibility_level_default,
	'exclude_groups'      => false, // Comma-separated list of profile field group IDs to exclude
	'exclude_fields'      => false  // Comma-separated list of profile field IDs to exclude
);

This looks very familiar to bbPress so my first thoughts was lets try to add one of those Array’s to the loop and overwrite the default value.
Just like this.

<?php if ( bp_has_profile( array ( 'exclude_groups' => 1 ) ) ) : ?>
...

This works perfect, it hides all xProfile-fields from the first Base primary Tab (back-end). Just like I wanted it because I didn’t want all the fields to show up front-end, I’ve got a few xProfile-fields that I use for user-customization of the profile-page. Each user can add color-codes to change the default menu-color and add background-images to their profile-page to make each profile a little more unique.
Those field-ID’s are just urls or color-codes and don’t have to be visable to the public, thats why I try to hide them front-end.
