BuddyPress.org

One of many things that BuddyPress is missing is customisation options (with regards to appearance, theme integration, etc). I’ve put a lot of time and effort into my current theme and it’s being ruined by a big, ugly, grey box on the Activity/homepage. Not being cruel, just honest.

If the child theme route was an option, i wouldn’t be posting this so please don’t suggest that :-p I’m genuinely surprised this isn’t already available but I’m hoping it will be soon!

Cheers,

For the first time, I think ever, I tried clicking the dropdown to select different activity to show on the site-wide activity page. Tried some of the selections, but they all just made the original everything on the page show (after an ajaxy looking refresh)

So I wonder if using the parse_Args code to modify the default activity stream things that display is overriding this drop down menu function?

If so, we need a better way to hide things from the activity stream in the future.

And I guess we need a way to remove the dropdown menu from showing since it does not work.

If this parse args code is not affecting the dropdown selection then I guess I have to start deactivating other plugins to see if they are screwing with it.

my current bp-custom file:

<?php
// hacks and mods will go here
define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' );
// block activity stream stuff - things to include
function my_bp_activity_types( $retval ) {
	// existing BP/bbP activities
	// remove the one you wont to see from that list
	$retval['action'] = array( 
		'activity_comment',
		'activity_update',
		'bbp_topic_create',
		'last_activity',
		'new_blog_post', 	
		'new_member',
		'updated_profile',
		'rtmedia_update',
		'bp_doc_created',
		'new_groupblog_post',
		'bp_album_picture',
		'added_group_document',
		'new_blog_comment',
		'new_member',
		'created_group'
	);	

	return $retval;
	
	}
add_filter( 'bp_after_has_activities_parse_args', 'my_bp_activity_types' );
// block activyt stream stuff removed friendship_created, new_avatar,bp_doc_edited,activity_liked,
// deleted_group_document, new_blog, new_forum_post, new_forum_topic, new_status,new_wire_post, joined_group, new_avatar,
// previously blocked via plugin - deleted_group_document, new_blog, new_member, joined_group, friendship_created, activity_liked
?>

So I’m trying to build a social network and some of the features i need I’m not to sure if bp has it all.
Features I need. Activity wall.all members chat,sleek custom profiles for members, a paid membership option. A way to let paid members make their own post/articles on the homepage.can buddypress do this?

Hi,

I am trying to add to group activity stream and send a notification but its not working – Help pls
Adding to group activity like this

add_post_type_support( 'product', 'buddypress-activity' );

function customize_page_tracking_args() {
	// Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
	if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	
	global $bp;
	$gid = $bp->groups->current_group->id;
	$group = new BP_Groups_Group($gid, true);
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
	
	groups_record_activity( array(
			'action'  => apply_filters( 'groups_activity_new_update_action', sprintf( __( '%1$s publicó una actualización en %2$s', 'buddypress'), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '<a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . esc_attr( bp_get_group_name( $group ) ) . '</a>' ) ),
			'content'   => $content,
			'type'    => $type,
			'item_id' => $gid,
			'user_id' => $user_id
	)
	);

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

Adding to notification like this

bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
		'user_id'           => $cid,
		'item_id'           => $post_id,
		
) );

Hey guys,

I have a button on the user profile page which is NOT an XProfile field which I need to add to activity. So when the user clicks the button a new activity will be created in their activity stream. I have successfully added a custom post type to the activity stream so when the user creates a post it shows in activity, but I cannot figure out how to apply the same function I used for the custom post type to the button click.

Here is my custom post type function:

// add custom post type listing to the activity stream

add_filter ( 'bp_blogs_record_post_post_types', 'activity_publish_custom_post_types',1,1 );
function activity_publish_custom_post_types( $post_types ) {
$post_types[] = 'listing';
return $post_types;
}

add_filter('bp_blogs_activity_new_post_action', 'record_cpt_activity_action', 1, 3);
function record_cpt_activity_action( $activity_action, $post, $post_permalink ) {
global $bp;
if( $post->post_type == 'listing' ) {

$activity_action = sprintf( __( '%1$s added a new listing - %2$s', 'buddypress' ), bp_core_get_userlink( (int) $post->post_author ), '' . '<a href="' . $post_permalink . '">' . $post->post_title . '</a>' . '' );
}

return $activity_action;
}  

I really need to implement this so any help is greatly appreciated!

1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
4.2.2

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
It is at domain.com/members

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
No

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
This is a fresh install–relatively, I’ve been playing and testing with it for a month or two, but no posts–not yet public.

6. Which version of BP are you running?
2.3.2.1

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
I have updated my plugins whenever it asks so maybe, but the issues have been present pretty much since I started. I’vbe just been focusing on different areas.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
Advanced Access Manager: not activated
Akismet: still need to get the API
Child Theme Configurator
Conditional Menus
Lazy Load for Videos
Microthemer: not activated
Press Permit Core: not activated
Restrict User Access
Simple:Press
UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
User Role Editor
Zippy Courses

Some are not activated because I was trying out a few different plugins for user roles.

9. Are you using the standard WordPress theme or customized theme?
I have created a child theme from the Social Triggers theme for Zippy Courses

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
I don’t think so.

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
I don’t think so.

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
Not running bbPress

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
How do I do this?
I copied the 300 most recent and removed those that were not from the members folder (smf forum had the most) and got a list of 16–of course there would be more if it listed more than 300. But these give addresses and IPs.
I’m probably not understanding how to do this.

All of them are File not Found errors and there are 8 different ones–each error shows twice.
8 refer to Zippy courses, referencing the child theme and wp-admin
2: wp-admin/index.php
2: wp-admin/plugins.php
2: wp-admin/themes.php
2: wp-admin/update-core.php

The other 8 do not refer to Zippy Courses, but otherwise refer to the same end places.
Does that help?

14. Which company provides your hosting?
Cyberlynk

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
Windows

I switched themes to 2015 and then 2013 to see if it made a difference and it did not.

I installed a fresh install of WP at a new location (domain.com/members) for using the zippy courses plugin. Afterwards I thought I should try out BuddyPress with it, so I installed and activated it.
I’ve had some issues and I don’t know if its zippy courses, buddypress or something else. But I did just go to the codex and read that I should not have use softaculous to install WP.
So I think I should start over again—not a huge deal since I’m just playing around with zippy and buddy, but I would rather not lose some of the things I’ve done. How can I save what I’ve done and still reinstall? Zippy courses has an importer/exporter, so that’s no problem, but what about the other stuff:
I’ve set up user roles with a plugin and created a child theme and added a second menu and done some other things that, for me, took time.

Some of the issues could simply be that I’m still learning (like the child-theme). All of the pages in both the zippy and buddypress core pages section say they are pointing to the page with the corresponding name. I have the front page set as Home. But when I try to go to the homepage it goes directly to the members page instead.
When I try the links at the top: activity, notifications, profile, settings; they all go to

The requested URL /members/members/Rollercoasterider/notifications/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The only one that goes somewhere is the log out link and that goes to the Simple:Press forum I just set up—before I installed Simple:Press it went somewhere else. I don’t know why it is now going to Simple:Press. (Other than this now directing to Simple:Press, all these issues were present before I installed Simple:Press).

Why do pretty permalinks need to be used? I thought I read something (a few years ago) about these causing problems.

Site: http://theherosspouse.com/members/

I would like to add the what’s new form on the all activity page for logged in users.

Is there a way to do this in bp-custom.php? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
