BuddyPress.org

Thank you all for posting this! I’ve been reading for hours and this has fixed my issues.

I’m running BP on a network install and want ALL subdomains to have use of BP. It was working on the main install but as I created subdomains, the BP pages (Activity, Members, etc,) was giving me 404 errors. I went down the htaccess rabbit hole for a while and gave up. Started at the beginning and reading thru all the forums that looked related and found this.

@WesCleveland – The bp-custom.php works like a charm so far. Thanks for posting your solution.

R-a-y – that doesn’t work for me unfortunately.

I am using the:
– latest version of WordPress 3.1.2
– Child theme of Suffusion

And the latest plugins for Suffusion BP Pack (1.02), BuddyPress (1.2., and s2Member (3.5.7).

Using the s2Member plugin settings, I have set my site to redirect users to a “Member Home” page upon logging in. This function used to work before I added BuddyPress + Suffusion BP Pack. However, since adding those plugins, I initially could not figure out why it no longer worked upon logging in. Currently, when a user logs in, the site just directs them to the main page (the default WordPress & site address). I disabled the other plugins and determined that it was BuddyPress handling the redirection.

So I made a bp-custom.php and added that code just to see if I can test the redirection function itself and it didn’t work. I even tweaked his code as well to try add_filter(“login_redirect”,”bpdev_redirect_to_profile”,100,3); Did I need to do anything else to activate the plugin or did it automatically run and link to BuddyPress?

Ultimately, it seems like I may have to implement a technique that onyx mentioned or something like http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/12/tweak-your-buddypress-login-to-redirect-to-the-page-user-was-viewing-while-login/

Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

for the record I have just done this with your page and it works as expected!

WOO CUSTOM STYLESHEET

Add your custom styles here instead of style.css so it
is easier to update the theme. Simply copy an existing
style from style.css to this file, and modify it to
your liking.

Use this stylesheet they provide for most of your customisations rather than squirting them into the head.

You can thank Boone for the answer below. Replace scope=groups with what ever filter you’d like to apply.

Changing the tabs is an appearance issue; it doesn’t have any effect on the activity items shown.

Try the following function in your functions.php or bp-custom.php. The logic is this: If the query string is empty (as it is when you first visit the activity page) and there is nothing in the POST variable that says which scope to show (that is, the user has not clicked ‘All Activity’ and thus set an AJAX request into effect), then show only my group content.

`function bbg_my_groups_activity_default( $qs ) {
if ( empty( $qs ) && empty( $_POST ) ) {
$qs = ‘scope=groups’;
}

return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘bbg_my_groups_activity_default’, 999 );`

It looks like you need to do two things.

1) Don’t do bp_ajax_querystring( ‘friends’ ). The function does not take arguments like ‘friends’. Just do bp_ajax_querystring() in the template file.
2) Here is a function that, when placed in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, will do what you want:
`function bbg_my_friends_activity_default( $qs ) {
if ( is_user_logged_in() && empty( $qs ) && empty( $_POST ) ) {
$qs = ‘scope=friends’;
}

return $qs;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘bbg_my_friends_activity_default’, 999 );`

The problem is that this is almost certain not to work correctly with the function you have in your template file:
`function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=10’;
return $query_string; }
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_query_filter_new’ );`

If you need this latter functionality, I would try to do some work to combine the functions so that the query strings are added in the proper order.

I just try it above muchad’s code and put that in your child theme function.php. It works, why? Because the characters are messing it up. Here’s workable code:
`//=Change the number of activity items to show per page
function my_custom_query_filter( $query_string ) {
$query_string .= ‘&per_page=30’;
return $query_string;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’, ‘my_custom_query_filter’ );`

Did you try adding the activity loop?

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/

<i> How can I make it so it displays the users by nicknames, not by their names?</i>

That is what Buddypress does currently. It displays their “RealName” rather than their Username across the site.

<i> how can I add Activity and Members links in the adminbar?</i>

Add this to your bp-custom.php:

function pages(){
?>

<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/activity">Activity</a>

<li class="no-arrow"><a href="yoursite.com/groups/">Groups</a>

<?php
}
add_action( 'bp_adminbar_menus', 'pages', 15 );

or, you can redirect the “Reply” button to the “Leave a reply” textarea in the forums, and so on in the comments:

`
function cac_insert_comment_reply_links( $has_comments ) {
global $activities_template, $wpdb, $bbdb;

do_action( ‘bbpress_init’ );

$topics_data = array();
$posts_data = array();
foreach( $activities_template->activities as $key => $activity ) {
if ( $activity->type == ‘new_forum_topic’ ) {
$topic_id = $activity->secondary_item_id;
$topics_data[$topic_id] = $activity->primary_link;
$topics_data[$topic_id] = $key;
}

if ( $activity->type == ‘new_forum_post’ ) {
$post_id = $activity->secondary_item_id;
$posts_data[$post_id] = array_pop( array_reverse( explode( ‘#’, $activity->primary_link ) ) );
$posts_data[$post_id] = $key;
}
}

// In cases where we only have the post id, we must do an extra query to get topic ids
if ( !empty( $posts_data ) ) {
$post_ids = array_keys( $posts_data );
$post_ids_sql = implode( ‘,’, $post_ids );
$sql = $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT topic_id, post_id FROM {$bbdb->posts} WHERE post_id IN ({$post_ids_sql})” );
$post_topic_ids = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );

// Now that we have the topic IDs, we can add that info to $topics_data for the main query
foreach( $post_topic_ids as $post_topic ) {
$topics_data[$post_topic->topic_id] = $posts_data[$post_topic->post_id];
}
}

// Now for the main event
// First, make a topic list and get all the associated posts
$topic_ids = implode( ‘,’, array_keys( $topics_data ) );
$sql = $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT topic_id, post_id FROM {$bbdb->posts} WHERE topic_id IN ({$topic_ids})” );
$posts = $wpdb->get_results( $sql );

// Now we get counts. BTW it sucks to do it this way
$counter = array();
foreach( $posts as $post ) {
if ( empty( $counter[$post->topic_id] ) )
$counter[$post->topic_id] = 1;
else
$counter[$post->topic_id]++;
}

// Finally, concatenate the reply url and put it in the activities_template
foreach( $topics_data as $topic_id => $data ) {
$total_pages = ceil( $counter[$topic_id] / 15 );
$reply_url = cac_forum_reply_url( $data, $total_pages, 15 );
$key = $data;
$activities_template->activities[$key]->reply_url = $reply_url;
}

return $has_comments;
}
add_action( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘cac_insert_comment_reply_links’ );

/**

function cac_filter_activity_reply_link( $link ) {

return $activities_template->activity->reply_url;

add_action( ‘bp_get_activity_comment_link’, ‘cac_filter_activity_reply_link’ );

/**

*/
function cac_activity_reply_link_class() {

if ( !empty( $activities_template->activity->reply_url ) )
echo ‘class=”acomment-reply-nojs”‘;
else

}

function cac_activity_can_comment() {

return false;
}

return true;
}`

You/re welcome.

– Create a child theme.

– Copy over the file index.php from activity folder of bp-default theme to childtheme/activity/index.php
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.8/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php#L10

– Add the slider to above or within the content div or wherever you want in that index.php file
