@daltontastic,

color buttons are TinyMCE tools and not html tags. The only way to get them would be to use the editor toolbar.

Here a scenario you could use:
– create a child-theme and add post-form.php to it (copy from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddyPress/activity/post-form.php).
Result: your-child-theme/buddypress/activity/post-form.php

In that file, go to line:40 where textarea start.
Inser this action hook:

<?php if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
	<?php do_action( 'blablabla' ); ?>
<?php endif ?>

Then add this <?php if ( ! bp_is_groups_component() ) : ?>
<textarea class="bp-suggestions"......bla...bla...</textarea>
and add <?php endif ?> after the textarea closing tag.

This contionnals will show a custom area for the desired group and prevent update area to appear on all other groups home pages.

So if a user is member of different groups, he will get a texteditor for group_id 13 and the normal update area on all others.

The custom template is ready. Now the fonctions we need.

Open bp-custom.php (or create it) and paste in those snippets.

Adding the texteditor:

function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
	// deactivation of the visual tab, so user can't play with style tools
//add_filter ( 'user_can_richedit' , create_function ( '$a' , 'return false;' ) , 50 );

$content = "";

	// building the what's new textarea
	if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) :
	$content = esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); 
	endif;

	// adding tinymce tools
	$editor_id = 'whats-new';

	$settings = array( 
			'textarea_name' => 'whats-new', 
			'teeny' => false, 
			'media_buttons' => true, 
			'drag_drop_upload' => true, 
			'quicktags' => array(
			'buttons' => 'strong,em,link,block,del,ins,img,ul,ol,li,code,close'
		));	 
	
	// get the editor	
	wp_editor( $content, $editor_id, $settings );
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );

A simple function who add the original textarea for users who are group members, but not allowed to rich edit.

function my_textarea() { ?>
			<textarea class="bp-suggestions" name="whats-new" id="whats-new" cols="50" rows="10"
				<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>data-suggestions-group-id="<?php echo esc_attr( (int) bp_get_current_group_id() ); ?>" <?php endif; ?>
			><?php if ( isset( $_GET['r'] ) ) : ?>@<?php echo esc_textarea( $_GET['r'] ); ?> <?php endif; ?></textarea>
<?php
}

And the last one, where you set up the group allowed to publish updates using edit tools.

function trotro() {

if ( bp_is_groups_component() ) :

$check = groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() );
$check_group = bp_get_group_id(); 

	if ($check != 0 && $check_group == 21 && 'leon' == bp_current_item() ){
		echo 'Wow! You can rich edit in this group.';
			bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor();
	} else {
		echo 'Sorry, you cannot rich edit in this group';
		my_textarea();
	}

endif;
}
add_action( 'blablabla', 'trotro' );

Now, any member which is part of the group leon, group id 23 can publish updates and use the color picker and all other things which are on the edit bar.

Only thing you have to do is to adjust leon and id to your rules.

Successfully tested on 2.6 and 2016.

May this help you to go further with your BuddyPress project. 🙂

Dear @danbp

Maybe i should explain more detail. And what i want to do…I really must solve this future of my project 🙂 Sorry long sentences really sorry

BP update via what’s new form and add embed is working. No problem.
Our members can create new post (food) with toolset types on frontend. They can add image or video or custom fields. when anyone visit abc.com/foodarchive and click food 1 and open new window and Ok can see everything. At the moment, this published new post displaying on buddypress activity (also can added filter with bp-custom.php)… Buddypress activity display all kind food post body such as if there is only text show text, if there are text+image, ok BP activity show this also… At the moment, if only text and no image but author add featured image, well BP also show text+this featured image on activity stream… But never show video on activity stream if its in post body…

I dont undestand (because i am copypaste coode user) how can BP update via add form can show embed video but not display video from custom post embed? No way to solve this?

Why? Because my member want to see video on activity stream before visit this post. BP just show MRx Published new Food..

If i use Visual composer (extension add on pluging) features add youtube video to post, yes this is showing embed video on buddypress activity.But this is problem because when anyone click bp show filter and turn back another filter (comment to post, or post to updates or group updates), visual composer short codes broken and display like this [vc]textblock[vc]. If refresh page, yes eveything normal, so my theme remove shortcodes from visual composer.

Thanks for giving your time…

How did you install buddupress? This is a custom theme right? You see activity page in your pages? In settings-buddypress have you activated activity component? Have you associated your activity page in the pages setting of buddypress?

Sorry for my english…
I can show everything about Music CPT buddypress activity (site-wide and members activity) with below code by @imath -also thanks for all other plugings 🙂 –

My Question or Problem.

I am using types tools pluging and i have a – frontend – add new music form (about music CPT) and members use this form to add new music with different fields. Also using rich editor and can add media from URL… Buddypress activity stream can show this form body (actually show post body normally). If i add also image from URL to this frontend music CPT form, we can see this image also on buddypress activity. Well i love buddypress.. Flexiable, great..

1 – But if i add video URL on this form do not show embed video on activity stream. I mean that, i tried 100 times frontend or backend, embed video (if use in any CPT) do not show on buddypress. When i click this activty open page and i can see video. I know missing something.

2 – If my author create any music CPT –backend admin side– with Visual Composer, there 3 different actions.

Action:1 – First, Buddypress activty show all font color or image, or texts created by visual composer. Its ok. Love buddypress. But when i select (site-wide or members activty) show post, friendship or comment than turn to everything or music cpt, buddypress now do not display this music CPT, so i must refresh the page. I mean that when a user select everything to post (or comment) or commet to everything: page must otomatically refresh to display my visual composer codes. If i dont refresh the page, activiy stream show like that [vc_row][vc_column][vc_text][/vc_column][/vc_row].

Action 2: When i edit this CPT -backend and created by VC-, buddypress sometimes dont load any activity.. If i delete this post from again backend, everything is ok, all activity is coming back. I dont know how try search this on forum.

Action 3: I am on backend admin and creating a new music CPT without visual composer.. No problem, all edit can show on buddypress again. Such as i shared music 3 hours ago but now editing. I can see this new edit when i scroll actvity page 3 hours ago… BUT, What i want, buddypress activtiy can create a new music post (for this edit) and can say “edited music” … Maybe we can put icon or color original (3 hours ago) cpt, also same time can create clone music for same cpt 🙂 on activity stream… I dont know how to search this 🙂

Long sentences long, i know 🙂 … Maybe someone help me… Becuase i am not developer just copypaste code user 🙂

add_post_type_support( 'music', 'buddypress-activity' );
function customize_page_tracking_args() {
    // Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
    if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
        return; }
     bp_activity_set_post_type_tracking_args( 'music', array(
        'component_id'             => 'activity',
        'action_id'                => 'new_music',
        'bp_activity_admin_filter' => __( 'My Music', 'custom-domain' ),
        'bp_activity_front_filter' => __( 'Music', 'custom-domain' ),
        'contexts'                 => array( 'activity', 'member' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post'     => __( '%1$s published <a href="%2$s">Music Suggest</a>', 'xxx' ),
        'bp_activity_new_post_ms'  => __( '%1$s published <a href="%2$s">Musik/a>, on the site %3$s', 'xxx' ),
               
       
    ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

You’ll probably want to create a new page and then load a custom template.

In your custom template, you’ll need to create an Activity loop with the parameters that you want.

Sounds like this is your first time performing these tasks.
Give it a serious and thorough attempt and see how far you can get.
If you get stuck, use gist or pastebin to share the code in your custom template.

Please do not paste all the code on these forums.

We’re unable to help you for Yoo Helios premium theme.

Have you assigned a particular template to the mandatory BP pages: activity, members, groups,… ? If yes, remove them, as BP pages must stay “empty”. Just give them a title and nothing else.

Instead of using an exotic function, better try this solution.

is_buddypress fn definition: You can tell if a page is displaying BP content by whether the current_component has been defined. More here.

I’m afraid you can’t built another member’s directory. “Members” is a component and it use a dynamic page to output anything related to members.

The only thing who change, is eventually the content template part (member directory vs. profile for example: both activity are on the same pseudo “page”.

The only way i see for your case, is to add a custom filter and to define eventually another default output for member directory, based on the current filter. But it’s the user who has to choose what he want to see there.

Default filter are recently active, recently subscribed and alphabetical order. To add more option, included “artists”, try to add “member type” or create you r own plugin to filter.

Here the related codex page for member-type

And codex page for how to add a filter on members directory.

For the @ use, the correct way to use it is when you want to mention (@mention) somebody. And so far i can see this here, it doesn’t actually work on bp.org ! 😉

So just keep in mind that you publish on a public forum. It is not intended to call mods individually. We’re not consultants here (we don’t charge you), but simple volonteers trying to guide and help other users.
