BuddyPress.org

I built a custom widget with an activity stream so my client can set a group ID to display a “featured group” in the sidebar. The group avatar displays as well as the activity stream. All of the activity links work correctly, except for comments and favorites.

Comments goes to the home page and favorites returns a 404.

Favorites: http://www.prolifeplanet.com/activity/favorite/114/?_wpnonce=6d82795544

Here is my widget code:

`
add_action( ‘widgets_init’, ‘featured_bpgroup_widget’ );

/**
* Register our widget
*/
function featured_bpgroup_widget() {
register_widget( ‘tfd_Featured_BPGroup’ );
}

/**
* Add widget style
*/

add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bpfg_styles’);

function bpfg_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style(‘bpfg-style’, plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . ‘bpfg-style.css’);
}

/*** Widget class ***/
class tfd_Featured_BPGroup extends WP_Widget {

/**
* Widget setup.
*/
function tfd_Featured_BPGroup() {
/* Widget settings. */
$widget_ops = array( ‘classname’ => ‘bp_fgroup’, ‘description’ => __(‘A widget to display a featured buddy press group.’, ‘fgroup’) );

/* Widget control settings. */
$control_ops = array( ‘width’ => 300, ‘height’ => 350, ‘id_base’ => ‘featured-bpgroup’ );

/* Create the widget. */
$this->WP_Widget( ‘featured-bpgroup’, __(‘Featured BP Group’, ‘fgroup’), $widget_ops, $control_ops );
}

/**
* How to display the widget on the screen.
*/
function widget( $args, $instance ) {
extract( $args );

/* Our variables from the widget settings. */
$title = apply_filters(‘widget_title’, $instance );
$description = $instance;
if ( !$groupid = (int) $groupid )$groupid = 4;

/* Before widget (defined by themes). */
echo $before_widget;

/* Display the widget title if one was input (before and after defined by themes). */
if ( $title )
echo $before_title . $title . $after_title;

/* Display Group Avatar */
$avatar = bp_core_fetch_avatar( array( ‘item_id’ => $groupid, ‘object’ => ‘group’, ‘type’ => ‘full’, ‘avatar_dir’ => ‘group-avatars’, ‘alt’ => $alt, /* ‘css_id’ => $id, */’class’ => $class/* , ‘width’ => ‘150px’, ‘height’ => ‘150px’ */ ) );

printf( ‘

‘, $avatar );

/* Display User-Defined Group Description */
if ( $description )
printf( ‘

‘, $description );

if ( bp_has_activities (array ( ‘primary_id’ => $groupid, ‘max’ => ‘5’) ) ) : while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();

return $instance;
}

function form( $instance ) {

$defaults = array( ‘title’ => __(‘Featured Group’, ‘fgroup’));
$defaults = array( ‘groupid’ => __(‘4’, ‘fgroup’));
$instance = wp_parse_args( (array) $instance, $defaults ); ?>

Find the ID in the Network Admin Dashboard under “Buddypress/Group Management”.

Any idea what’s going on? The favorites and comments work fine from the other pages, just not from my widget.

Hello

I want to add custom tab called “Posts” at user activity page. Clicking this tab will open only posts of this user. How do I make this customization?

Image that explain the idea: http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/4310/bpposts.png

TIA

So I am trying to use Buddypress and Pagelines, and on my Buddypress pages, I can’t get a second column to come up, which is standard on all of my other Pagelines pages.

For example, http://www.jobcreatr.com/activity does not work with two columns (don’t worry about the spacing, I’m going to fix that with custom CSS). Like, where’s the first column? The main page (www.jobcreatr.com) does not have this problem

I think this was deleted before – if there is a problem with my post, please do let me know.

I just finished building my Buddypress site. There are some additional things I want to do, but I don’t know how to do them.

1. I do not want Buddypress’s “Name (required)” field to be editable. I installed S2Member, and created custom profile fields, and I was able to remove edit capabilities from them. However, members are still able to change that buddy press name field.

2. I do not want my homepage to have a blog feel. I want it to be a regular home page that I put text/ pictures on.

3. I would like a page dedicated to a member profile search. I want four search fields – First Name, Last Name, City, and State. I guess this would have to be tied into the S2Member plugin since I used it to add the additional profile fields First Name, Last Name, City, and State.

4. I would like an additional Activity tab where members only post pictures and a small comment, unlike their activity/timeline where they post anything they wish.

5. I would like the activity/timeline page to have a different color scheme than the rest of my site – white so that it’s easier on the eyes.

Can any of you help with this?

Thanks!

So I’ve finally decided to take the plunge and try and update my BP community at Gamefilter.net to 1.5.x, figuring the dust has pretty well settled by now. Working on my localhost install, so the live site is still working fine. The upgrade has gone pretty well, for the most part, except for one thing.

It’s all a little complicated, but I’m hoping it’s something that someone more skilled with wrangling BP code than me can just eyeball it and say ‘There’s your problem’!

So I’m using both a heavily customized version of the old BP-Like plugin to provide a ‘Thanks’ functionality for people’s activity, including posting to the main blog. This is counted — thanks given and received — on user profiles.

Separate to that is BP favoriting (which I’ve renamed to ‘Bookmark’), which lets people, yeah, save stuff as favorites, that they can go back to later. I extended BP favoriting to blog posts with the following functions.php code:

class BP_Blog_Post_Fav {

var $activity_id;

function init() {
add_action( 'the_post', array( &$this, 'get_blog_post_activity_id' ) );
}

function get_blog_post_activity_id() {
global $current_blog, $post;

if( isset($post->ID) ) :
$activity_id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array(
'user_id' => $post->post_author,
'type' => 'new_blog_post',
'component' => 'blogs',
'item_id' => $current_blog->blog_id,
'secondary_item_id' => $post->ID) );

$this->activity_id = $activity_id;

if( !empty($this->activity_id) ) {
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_favorite_link', array( &$this, 'bp_get_activity_favorite_link' ) );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link', array( &$this, 'bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link' ) );
add_filter( 'bp_get_activity_is_favorite', array( &$this, 'bp_get_activity_is_favorite' ) );
}

endif;

}

function bp_get_activity_favorite_link() {
global $current_blog;

if( $current_blog->blog_id != BP_ROOT_BLOG )
switch_to_blog( BP_ROOT_BLOG );

$nonce = wp_nonce_url( site_url( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG . '/favorite/' . $this->activity_id . '/' ), 'mark_favorite' );

if( $current_blog->blog_id != BP_ROOT_BLOG )
restore_current_blog();

return $nonce;
}

function bp_get_activity_unfavorite_link() {
global $current_blog;

if( $current_blog->blog_id != BP_ROOT_BLOG )
switch_to_blog( BP_ROOT_BLOG );

$nonce = wp_nonce_url( site_url( BP_ACTIVITY_SLUG . '/unfavorite/' . $this->activity_id . '/' ), 'unmark_favorite' );

if( $current_blog->blog_id != BP_ROOT_BLOG )
restore_current_blog();

return $nonce;
}

function bp_get_activity_is_favorite() {
global $bp;

return in_array( $this->activity_id, (array)bp_activity_get_user_favorites($bp->loggedin_user->id) );
}
}
$my_bp_favorite = new BP_Blog_Post_Fav();
$my_bp_favorite->init();

and I build a favorite link on a blog post (remember, it’s called ‘bookmark’ on the live site, in case you want to look at it (but it’s only visible for logged-in users, so)) like so

<a class=&quot;button fav bp-secondary-action&quot; href=&quot;" title=""></a>

That builds a link that looks like this (on localhost)

http://localhost/gamefilter/activity/favorite/837/?_wpnonce=66c4831cef

This worked swimmingly on my current 1.2 install on the live site, but now, on my local testbed, clicking the link doesn’t do any ajax, and just takes me to the search results page, with no results found.

I guess something obvious has changed since 1.2, but I’ve spent all day hammering away and can’t seem to figure it out. If anybody has any ideas, I’d be very grateful. Thanks!
