BuddyPress.org

Thanks dan, I have the all activity on the specific page, but I wanted it in my profile. i ended up seeing this link on buddydev and it’s exactly what I need it to do http://buddydev.com/buddypress/show-buddypress-communitysitewide-activity-on-user-profile/ , I just wish I knew how to default it to that link when clicking on the activity link.

When i hit the activity link, it goes to my personal activity instead of the “all activity” tab. Could you direct me in how I could change the default sub menu tab in activity.

Thanks for your help! Have a wonderful independence day!

Ok since you are my godsend I hate the activity page.. How do I edit the buddypress menu to remove the page from the menu? Matter of fact how do I change the order of the items in the menu? You are the man remember that always

So what appears to be happening is that the Buddybar adopts the slug changes immediately (I’ve just removed the display:none CSS for the main nav tabs on Buddybar to check because I don’t use it).

But the top menu (created via the Menus in WP Dashboard) is where the tabs are disappearing due to the slug changes. Tried with define ( 'BP_MESSAGES_SLUG', 'notes' ); to confirm it wasn’t an isolated effect. All is fine there now though, they just need replacing into the menu via the WP Dash once the slug has been changed and then they appear again.

Are the slugs of subnav tabs changed using the define code too? I haven’t come across it.

Out of interest, have I misunderstood this link where it says the various defines at the bottom are deprecated, or is it just in need of updating? :

Changing Internal Configuration Settings

Hi @bewitchingfiction,

I tried it on some of the default WordPress themes and couldn’t get it to work… and it no-longer works on the previous theme used two years ago when I first configured BuddyPress on our site.

My suggested work-around for you until someone is able to get it going again would be to create a password-protected or private page in WordPress for your mods to chat via the comments function. If you use a plugin that allows menu items to only be shown to mods, then no one will know the page even exists.

I use Nav Menu Roles to manage the visibility of menu items on my site. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with my theme’s menu… so every time I want to add or change a menu item’s visibility, I have to change to another theme to use it , then change back. Clumsy, but it works! https://wordpress.org/plugins/nav-menu-roles/screenshots/

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.
