BuddyPress.org

Special thanks to @valuser and @shanebp for helping create a custom member directory by adding the Buddypress members-loop.php to my themes page.php, and renaming it page-local-members-php.

*For the step by step, here is the link to the discussion – https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-display-additional-member-directory/#post-251127

There are now two Directories listed on the website. The current issue resides with the styling. The original member directory appears to obtain its structure from the Buddypress index.php file located in the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members-folder, while the Secondary ‘Custom’ member directory is missing the original functions like the search, role search, order by, and some basic css such as removing the bulletins on the member list.

What would be the best solution to fix this.

Would adding the code from index.php file from the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members-folder solve it?

*I wonder, would it be possible to make an additional page template that would shows on the wordpress frontend part of the plugin on the Dashboard/settins/buddypress/pages section as an additional directory.
That way you could route it from to a page from the front end the same way you route member, activity stream, register, and activate page keeping all files it in the buddypress folder.

Update:

I’ve tried adding the code from the index.php file located in the wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/members-folder to the index.php file located in the wp-content/themes/my-theme/-folder however the default styling and functions are still missing.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone been successful at blocking buddypress pages until PMPRO email confirmation is complete? I seem to be getting nowhere with PMPRO folks.

I am able to block /groups/, /members/, etc., but I cannot seem to block the sub-pages (e.g. /groups/group-name/). I took the PMPRO email confirmation code and modified it as follows. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Googled around, an older examples won’t work with the current version of BuddyPress 2.4.3. How to make sure that the activities of the Administrator isn’t recorded or not shown, sitewide / plugins / etc….

Prefer to add this in: bp-custom.php

Thank yo in advance.

Code what i had found:

<?php
// Don’t record activity by the site admins or show them as recently active
function my_admin_stealth_mode(){
if ( is_site_admin() ) {
global $bp;
remove_action(‘wp_head’,’bp_core_record_activity’);
delete_user_meta($bp->loggedin_user->id, ‘last_activity’);
}
?>

Here’s another code, this removes the activity of the currently logged in user itself from the page, this still works:
But obviously it wont hide the administrator’s activity in the users perspective!

<?php
//filter on pre_user_query
add_action( 'pre_user_query', 'devb_exclude_loggedin_user', 201 );

function devb_exclude_loggedin_user( $query ) {
    //don't modify the query if the user is not logged in
    if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
        return;
    //do not hide users inside the admin
    if ( is_admin() && !defined('DOING_AJAX') )
        return;
    $qv = $query->query_vars;

    global $wpdb;
    //hide
    $query->query_where .= $wpdb->prepare(" AND {$wpdb->users}.ID !=%d ", get_current_user_id());
}
?>

I am working on a datingsite. I want to start using the activity stream as a speeddate function. Users can fill in a certain text field (hi, I am going to the movies, who will join me!). On the frontpage I would like to have some kind of widget that displays, solo that stream. Or, if that is not possible that the other users can filter these “shouts” in activity stream.
It seems simple? For instance: people can fill in “howdy, whats new jack?) so it must be possible?
I have been fooling around in bp-custom to just add a new post type but I failed.

Am I thinking the wrong directions?

For privacy reasons I will not distribute the url.

hi there,
I’m working on my site’s forums, powered by bbpress and buddypress.

One thing I dislike is the existance of both Favorites and Subscriptions. perhaps there’s something I don’t understand but it seems reduntant. I can’t even get anything to show up under the Favorites tab of the Activity (tried to favorite a forum topic and then posting as another user, but nothing).

to the point: I want to get rid of Favorites (already did) and only have Subscriptions.
but I’d like the subscriptions’ activity to show up under the user Activity, in a new tab. Yes I know the user can see the subscribed forums in the members page -> Forums -> Subscriptions, but this is just the list and not a waterfall of the posts inside those threads.

I’ve seen some posts where people try to add a new activity tab. this one was the clearest one, and I’ve tried following it to no avail. is the information completely outdated now?

the problem is I cannot even get the hook ‘bp_activity_type_tabs’ to do anything. something as basic as this fails to produce anything:

function bn_add_activity_tab() {
	echo 'hello';
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'bn_add_activity_tab', 1, 2 );

if I understand correctly it should hook itself to the activity type tabs. but it does absolutely nothing.
I tried it in my theme’s functions.php, as well as in a plugin (which I also try to force be loaded after buddypress like this). other things in my plugin work (so I’m sure the plugin is loaded and working)

any ideas?

thanks

I’m trying to match the style of the twentyfourteen companion stylesheet on @imath’s awesome wp-ideastream plugin. As you can see here, the activity stream extends the full width of the page: http://thepln.ca/, while the ideastream page is much narrower: http://thepln.ca/ideastream/

I’ve tried messing around with the width:

#wp-idea-stream {
    width: 90%;
    padding: 20px;
}

But that really only gets me partially there. I’m hoping I can ride on the coattails of all of @hnla’s great work to apply the style from templates like activity and members, over to the template for ideastream. Is there a simple way to do this? The ideastream plugin allows you to take a WP template like page.php and rename it ideastream.php, allowing for customization. Could I call a buddypress div id in something like that and magically apply the BP style?

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, this is a known “issue” i have read every single topic here, i even run a script on my database.
The thing is that in /members it only show the amount of users that had logged in after buddypress was installed. Before the Buddypress instalation i had 2000 users, now i have 4000+, so in /members the member count only counts those 4000 users.
I run a script (created a mu-plugin) that goes user by user (foreach) and gave a last_activity time stamp. (Thats what i read in lots of forums, buddypress uses last_Activity to determine if the user is a buddypress or a WP user).
Didnt work, the pre-buddypress users dont show up.
I dont know what to do, in the front page of my site im saying that the site has over 6000 users and in /members it says that are only 4000. Im losing credibility.
Other people suggested that selecting another filter like “Alphabetically” or “Last registered” should show all the users… Thats not my case.
Wordpress version: 4.3
Buddypress version: 2.4
Im using a custom theme that uses this to show the amount of users:

<div id="pag-top" class="pagination">

		<div class="pag-count" id="member-dir-count-top">

			<?php bp_members_pagination_count(); ?>

		</div>

		<div class="pagination-links" id="member-dir-pag-top">

			<?php bp_members_pagination_links(); ?>

		</div>

	</div>
