BuddyPress.org

I’ve found that somewhere down the line a decision was made to only allow comments from posts into the activity stream.

My comments disappeared from activity because 99% of my comments are from pages.

I’m presuming this change was made to accommodate custom post types. I’d suggest that as these types of decision can sink the entire reason for a BP installation (in some cases) that they should be made with some thought or perhaps even a community vote?

Can BP make this an OPTION in the next version please?

Perhaps there should be an option to include or exclude each of the standard wp custom types on installation?

hi @fitnessblogger,

use this in wp-content/plugins/ bp-custom.php
(If you haven’t this file you have to create it first)

Tested on 1.6.3

`function bpfr_excerpt($text) {
return trim($text,'[…]’);
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_truncate_entry’, ‘bpfr_excerpt’, 3, 3 );`

if you want to replace […] by ‘xxx’ you use this

`function bpfr_excerpt($text) {
return str_replace( ‘[…]’,’xxx’,$text );
}
add_filter(‘bp_activity_truncate_entry’, ‘bpfr_excerpt’, 3, 3 ); `

Take care with copy/pasting from here. Quotes must be single quotes at least.

@ciumbargi know that those who help out in these forums are all volunteers who generously do their best to assist others even though they are not paid to do so. It is indeed unfortunate that you see an advice about how to find the correct selectors in different browsers as a negative even after some assistance was already given for what was not quite clear in the request.

As I see it, the issue is resolved in your site viewing it using Firefox. If it is not, then I advise you to post at the Pagelines forums and include info about what browser you’re using so that they can fix it … thereby benefiting the rest of the Pagelines customers.

Have a nice day.

hi,

see at the bottom of this page how to change avatar size

Hi,

did you set the permalinks to something other than default. Should be done.

Have you checked the yoast plugin ?

The error is probably due to PHPSESSID cookie.

Another cookie is comming from bp-activity-oldestpage. This is a custom setting  Check it ! The normal name is bp-activity

Hi @sbla

On the groups pages (where the styling isn’t correct) it seems to still have in the ‘home’ class in your body tags (which has the transparent background)
`body class=”single-item groups group-home home custom-background”
`

So it’s calling this CSS which you don’t want!
`
.home #wrapper {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
margin: 20px auto 20px auto;
padding: 0;
}
`

Where as the page that it is correctly styling hasn’t got “home” in the body classes.

`body class=”directory activity custom-background”`

How are you currently adding the ‘home’ class to body?

`function add_home_class($classes) {
if (is_front_page()) {
$classes[] = “home”
}
return $classes;
}
add_filter(‘body_class’, ‘add_home_class’);`

Try this in bp-custom.php

function bp_non_member_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {

if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user
wp_redirect( get_option('siteurl') . '/register' );
} // user will be redirect to any link to want
}
}
add_filter('get_header','bp_non_member_redirect',1);

NOTE: If your using sitewide forums instead of group forums you will need to remove the comment /* */ around:
|| bbp_is_single_forum()
in the above code. Merry Christmas!

>a page where my users can be curators and have collections of custom posts

CPs that they created ? Or created by anyone ?

Usually a profile extension is used for this.

But you say ‘outside of buddypress’ so you mean a WP page… ?
Then, because you want it driven by activity_ids, write a custom query.
Use each activity_id to find the user_id in the activity table, look for posts by that member in the posts table and show the results in a loop.
Use 2 queries if you can’t write a JOIN.

Another simpler approach would be to created a bp-custom.php and place it in the plugins directory and add the following code
`<?php
function bp_guest_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
// enter the slug or component conditional here
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
} // user will be redirect to any link to want
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);
?>`
This code will work to hide buddypress pages and group forums as is, if your using sitewide forums in line 4 remove the comments around:
|| bbp_is_single_forum()
Save and refresh. Works in current versions.

== Activity, Groups and Members pages display on the menu bar, but Register does not? ==

You can just add it to the custom menu in Appearance > Themes

== Also if I try and go straight to the URL (entreacting.com/register) it just takes me to the home page. ==

That happens when you’re logged in and go to the register page. Log out and check if you can go to the register page just to double-check everything’s in working order.

== Also I cannot edit my user profile. when I click me name on the right it takes me to “Page not found” ==

Strange. Re-upload BuddyPress manually to wp-content/plugins/ i.e., via FTP/cpanel/etc.

I found a way to make the default page for members to be the profile page.
`http://www.buddyboss.com/making-profile-the-default-landing-page-in-buddypress/`
and
`https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/bp-custom-php/`

Hey guys-hoping you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong…if I can’t hide or remove the “community” tab then it would seem to be a pretty simple concept to change the order of the tab, but no luck with the above…not that php or css savvy but the instructions here are pretty straightforward so any help is appreciated!

Using latest wordpress version and just installed buddypress yesterday so I would assume it is also the latest version.

My website is http://www.defendersofturntablism.org

I added the line `define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘preferred_default_tab’ ); to wp-config.php above ‘//MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host **//`

Created bp-custom.php in plugins folder and added

`function bbg_change_profile_tab_order() {
global $bp;

$bp->bp_nav = 10;
$bp->bp_nav = 20;
$bp->bp_nav = 30;
$bp->bp_nav = 40;
}
add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘bbg_change_profile_tab_order’, 999 );`

Unfortunately all this has done is add the above line of code to the header of my site…can anyone help me figure this out??! Seems like it should be very simple. Ideally I want to have see the community tab go away and have the members section contain the buddypress activity, groups, forums, etc.

Thanks in advance!!

imo, It’s not clear what you’re trying to do.
On a ‘single activity page’ – you mean the profile activity page for a specific member ?

And on that page you want to display, in a sidebar, the 20 most recent updates from all users ?

In your code, you’re only looking for updates that include an image [bpfb_images]

So you only want the 20 most recent updates from all members that include an image ?
If so, you’d be better off writing a custom query. Then you won’t have to do all that string parsing.

I’m having a similar issue. Everything worked fine until I upgraded WordPress and Buddypress day before yesterday to:
WordPress 3.4.2.
Buddypress 1.6.1

Now whenever someone posts text the whole page is displayed in the text box for a couple of seconds and then the page makes like it’s going to save, but hangs white. If you stop or refresh the page whilst it’s hanging this is displayed infront of the url http://wyciwyg://62/

I’m using the custom community theme, but have tried using the default them and it still does it. The only person that doesn’t have this problem is me when I’m logged in as admin. All other user levels have this problem though.

I did add bbpress forum after upgrading and have tried deactivating that, but that didn’t fix it. Posting in the forum works fine though.

Any ideas on how to fix this please?
