BuddyPress.org

2) … Also there, there is no way to change things here ? Add the thumbnail on the posts list for example, or separate the “comments” and “posts” tabs,…

“Things” can be changed programmatically. Additionally, BuddyPress does not come standard with “Posts” or “Comment” tabs. The only separation for these items is via the dropdown filter selection for “Posts” or “Comments” located in the Sitewide or User Activity streams which is standard for BuddyPress.

3) OK, really confusing.
And if the displyed name and real name arent the same, how can a user know the real @ he has to use to tag someone ?
BTW, i’ve made some tests and even if i use @displayname or @username, it doesnt send a notification to the user,…

Users typically figure out who is who and for @mentions, only the username is used for notifications. For example, a scenario where there are 2 users with the same displayname which happens to be Apple, however, each has a different username because usernames must be unique. Maybe a visual will help you digest this information:

If you are having issues with notifications, that is a different issue and might be related to some external factor such as a plugin or theme that is interfering with the notification process.

As for Main settings, yes, those available via a UI are limited, however, programmatically, there are plenty via constants, filter hooks and action hooks.

Three things:

– I can’t replicate the issue you have.
– user_name is not a valid field, btw. It was deprecated.

Using the followwing payload, I actually get this in BuddyPress 14.0 since you are using + in the user_login, that’s not valid.

I am glad to hear that a v.14 is planned!
For 10 years I’ve tried to build something with buddypress, but I have never been able to launch a completed project, as I haven’t had the skills to make it as functional as it needed to be.

I am one of those guys that have used wordpress + various other members plugin + freelancer to make what I want.

Every community is different – so is the ones I’ve tried to make, and more often than not I haven’t needed 60% of the functionality coming out of the box in buddypress. But there are always something missing, at least for what I wanted to use Buddypress for.

In version 14 I hope to see more functionality (presented in a clear way for the users) towards user-interacting: Easy to use notification system for 100% of interactions between users.

All notifications is so, so important – as this is the way to bring members back. “Lila has sent you a message, click here to see”, “You got a new friend request”, “Someone replied to your topic”.. This brings people back, helping to grow the community!

So: Live popups and emails + bell notifications for:
Private messages, new bbpress replies / new topics, bbpress mentions, commenting, like buttons, added, follows, friend requests, accepted friend request, rejected friend requests, rating of content, e.g posts, forum posts etc.

And the entire notification system must be easy to use for both members and the admins!
Not all admins have coding skills. We just need an easy way to implement a bell in the header, which nicely presents new notifications. Small things like that is what I’ve been looking for.

And I have often found that 50% of it is working as I hoped, but then the other 50% is just not there. Forcing me to go to Freelancer, and from the developers over there, getting told: “You don’t need such a heavy tool like buddypress to accomplish this. Let me fix it for you just using wordpress and UsersWP”.

On the sitewide activity, I see “load newest”, but on the profile activity, or on whatever the page is that loads when you click to see a full conversation, or view a notification of someone’s comment, “undefined(1)” not only shows, but starts incrementing endlessly till you click it or leave the page. And don’t tell me to change the theme, I’ve tried a dozen themes now at least to get every piece working I need for my buddypress puzzle, this should work no matter what the theme is. If there IS a particular css call being messed up, what is it so I can add it to the customizer Additional CSS area?

I have the same problem. No email is triggered when a new user registers. Any idea what to do? This pretty much will ruin any chances of getting sign ups.

I’ve integrated a mailer (eg. Sendgrid) and other emails are going out ok such as comment notifications. But no activation email for a user who wants to sign up.

Any help appreciated!

(just got the notification from your drop box comment; not sure if it is just delayed from 9 hours ago)
