BuddyPress.org

Hi Modemlooper-

My theme is a child theme of Twenty Twelve, so my style.css declares Template: twentytwelve.

I followed your suggestion then took it a step farther and included slightly modified version of the js setup functions from the template pack in my `functions.php` file. I’ll post them here in case somebody else has the same problem I’m having:

`function bp_support_theme_setup() {
global $bp;

// Load the default BuddyPress AJAX functions if it isn’t explicitly disabled or if it isn’t already included in a custom theme
if ( ! function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’ ) )
require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php’ );

// Let’s tell BP that we support it!
add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
// Friends button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_public_message_button’ );

// Messages button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘messages’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_private_message_button’ );

// Group buttons
if ( bp_is_active( ‘groups’ ) ) {
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_group_header_actions’, ‘bp_group_new_topic_button’ );
add_action( ‘bp_directory_groups_actions’, ‘bp_group_join_button’ );
}

// Blog button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘blogs’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_directory_blogs_actions’, ‘bp_blogs_visit_blog_button’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘bp_support_theme_setup’, 11 );

/**
* Enqueues BuddyPress JS and related AJAX functions
*
* @since 1.2
*/
function bp_support_enqueue_scripts() {

// Add words that we need to use in JS to the end of the page so they can be translated and still used.
$params = array(
‘my_favs’ => __( ‘My Favorites’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘accepted’ => __( ‘Accepted’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘rejected’ => __( ‘Rejected’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all_comments’ => __( ‘Show all comments for this thread’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all’ => __( ‘Show all’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘comments’ => __( ‘comments’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘close’ => __( ‘Close’, ‘buddypress’ )
);

// BP 1.5+
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.3’, ‘>’ ) ) {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20120412’;

$params[‘view’] = __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘mark_as_fav’] = __( ‘Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘remove_fav’] = __( ‘Remove Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
// BP 1.2.x
else {
$version = ‘20110729’;

if ( bp_displayed_user_id() )
$params[‘mention_explain’] = sprintf( __( “%s is a unique identifier for %s that you can type into any message on this site. %s will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.”, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘@’ . bp_get_displayed_user_username(), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ) );
}

// Enqueue the global JS – Ajax will not work without it
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

// Localize the JS strings
wp_localize_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘BP_DTheme’, $params );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_support_enqueue_scripts’ );
`

Which is identical to installing the template pack only for the JS, I think. Everything’s working as expected, so I think we can consider this problem resolved. Thanks for your attention, Hugo and Modemlooper.

Hi Hugo-

Thanks for following up. The theme was built against BP1.6 & 1.7-beta, so the buddypress-related template folders (activity, blogs, groups, etc) were in the root of the theme. This resulted in the theme being rendered correctly, but, with BP1.7, the js support disappeared.

I’ve moved the bp-related folders into a “buddypress” folder at the root of the theme (as described in your article: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/). Moving the files causes the output to be garbled. For instance, on a single member’s profile page, a div#content is being created inside of the div#content provided in the main template `buddypress.js`, and, while the object-nav (activity, messages, etc) is being rendered, the header and the main content area aren’t being populated. Structurally, it’s like the entire buddypress output is being wrapped in the theme’s page template. But not completely, because the end of the file isn’t being rendered.

As you can tell, I’m not exactly sure what’s going on. 🙂

Thanks again for your advice,

-David

Hi, @shanebp

Oh no, not all this is happening in the one customised plugin. I was simply describing what appears to be happening in the system as a whole when you hit the Submit button in the customised post. This thing is one tortured mass of plugins. 🙁

The Custom post page is generated by Gravity Forms. This is the plugin that handles creating a post & saving it.

The Add-a-Post-to-Activity-Stream-so-it-sends-an-Email-Like-an-Update is provided by a custom plugin that extends the functionality of BuddyPress Group Email Subscription.

It just seems that the timing’s out a bit.

If I can make the postmeta handling occur before the post is added to the Activity Stream, then all will be well, as my own trivial addition to this will be fine.

I’ll take a look at wp_mail. I thought that Buddypress may override what happens in there.

Thanks for that & apologies for posting in the wrong part of the forum. Just noticed that.
