thank you for your response.The problem is that I wish that every community contains these members, groups, forums etc …

[DennisBarkerCV]

The easiest way is to use the Groups Component along with bbPress.Each group would get its own discussion forum.

@southerncalm
Do a search here. This has been asked many times. Self help on forum topics that has been already addressed many times goes a long way.

Hi @sandyfischler i think this feature is already a part of buddypress just goto dashboard>>settings>>buddypress;>settings tab>>
1)enable buddypress to wordpress profile syncing
2)Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts
3)clear cache of your site and the next time someone will post a blog post it should become visible in activity stream
Thanks

bbPress is a plugin outside of BuddyPress. You better ask for this on their support forum.

You could also read the bbPress Codex.

Hi all,

BP Album is no more avaible and outdated.
BuddyPress Album hasn’t been updated in over 2 years.

A new project called MediaPress is out since october on BuddyDev.

rtMedia is a third party plugin; any question regarding that plugin is to ask on their support forum.

[shanebp]

BuddyPress doesn’t provide forums.

You need a separate plugin: bbPress

@wadsworth4
I also have another plugin that I was told on the plugins forum that it worked on multisite called “Private BP Pages.” However I never actually tested it myself on BP with multisite. I just got that info from some of the users of the plugin. I used to offer it on the WordPress repo up to about 3 months ago but I have since removed it. But to answer your question “Yes” it is possible to create a members-only community with the latest BP and WP multisite by creating a plugin or using a function in bp-custom.php using hooks etc. That way your not hacking BP and if you update BP you won’t lose your changes.

1. We have a premium plugin for blocking: BuddyBlock

2. BP-Album is a third-party plugin. Did you try asking on their support forum?

This is the code I added at line 278 in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/lib/class_bpfb_binder.php to create the action. The credit for this code is @Juanma in WordPress.org forum. (couldn’t find the original thread). In this case I’m creating an action for images upload.

function ajax_update_activity_contents () {
  $bpfb_code = $activity = '';
  $aid = 0;
  $codec = new BpfbCodec;
  if (@$_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']) {
    $images = $this->move_images($_POST['data']['bpfb_photos']);
    $bpfb_code = $codec->create_images_tag($images);
    $type = 'bpfb_share_wall_photos';
  }

  $bpfb_code = apply_filters('bpfb_code_before_save', $bpfb_code);

  // All done creating tags. Now, save the code
  $gid = (int)@$_POST['group_id'];
  if ($bpfb_code) {
    global $bp;
    $content = @$_POST['content'] . "\n" . $bpfb_code;
    $content = apply_filters('bp_activity_post_update_content', $content);
    $user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
    $userlink = bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id );

    $author = bp_core_get_userlink( $author_id );
    $activity_url = bp_activity_get_permalink( $item_id );

    $aid = $gid ?
      groups_post_update(array('conte nt' => $content, 'group_id' => $gid)) : 
      bp_activity_add(
        array(
          'action' => apply_filters( 'activity_update', sprintf( __( '%s shared a link', 'buddypress' ), $userlink ), $user_id ),
          'content' => $content,
          'component' => 'activity',
          'type' => $type,
          'user_id' => $user_id
        )
      );
      if ($aid) {
			ob_start();
			if ( bp_has_activities ( 'include=' . $aid ) ) {
				while ( bp_activities() ) {
					bp_the_activity();
					if (function_exists('bp_locate_template')) bp_locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
					else locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true );
				}
			}
			$activity = ob_get_clean();
		}
		header('Content-type: application/json');
		echo json_encode(array(
			'code' => $bpfb_code,
			'id' => $aid,
			'activity' => $activity,
		));
		exit();
	}
}

And this is the code that works for activity stream. It shows just the activities with this action, but when you click the ‘load more’ button it loads the regular stream.
<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . '&action=bpfb_share_wall_photos') ) : ?>

Have you tried asking your question on the plugin’s support forum? Considering it’s specific to the plugin, you may have more luck there

[Henry Wright]

All data such as forum posts, activity comments, user profile info etc is stored in your database.

[danbp]

It’s not buddypress but WP who manage registering and concerning bots, they go directly on your server.

A good starting point is to read the WP Codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress

And at least,
Never use “admin” as username
Never user wp_ as table prefix

If you search for “spam” on this forum, you will find many topics about this subject.
And the latest one, even if not directly related to your issue, is one of the sticky post on the forum homepage. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things/

[Amic58]

Well, that was embarrassing.. 😀 Sorry for my stupidity.
I was searching on forums by “Disable name change” “Hide Name in registration” etc. Most answers I found were outdated, that’s why I registered to ask.

[danbp]

Sorry to answer you with a big laught, it’s not html but php. 😀
You should also find the time to read more attentively the forum, or search by keywords.
in this case: hide xprofile fields

https://buddypress.org/support/search/hide+xprofile+fields/

You’re welcome. Glad you got it. 😉

[@mercime]

@jwchameleoncorp BuddyPress Codex (Documentation link above) is your friend.

You will need to install bbPress forums which integrates well with BuddyPress. There is a step-by-step guide at https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-group-and-sitewide-forums/ You just have to decide on what forums setup you want for your site.

[Hugo Ashmore]

Hmm I hope we don’t come across as aggressive, if we do it’s unintentional.

I’m assuming this post is in part prompted by your threads here about your @mentions question.

A few pointers that will help yourself and others when engaging on forums, especially those of a technical variety; let it be known in the opening post that one has searched for answers, perhaps tried a few things, this goes a long way to generating a positive return response ( not suggesting for one minute you didn’t though ), ensure that you attempt to describe your issue / question as fully as possible, explain just what you are trying to achieve, that is more directed at your original post as there was a point of confusion – no ones fault in particular – the @mentions filter code you were provided with most probably did work but not in the way you expected or at least worked to the extent of the question asked ‘Remove @mentions’ as @mentions tends to mean the ability to add to an update and have it automagically convert to a link but also there is the rendering of the users @mention name which wouldn’t be affected by the filters shown.

I’m glad you have found further help on the same issue and from a regular user, looking at the threads, I note in the original the fact that you did respond back which I and the other moderator missed – perhaps ironically – using @mention in the forum posts is quite important as it’s easily possible to lose track of threads unless prompted to return to them.

Lastly sometimes what might be perceived as an ‘attitude’ isn’t really but may be more a perfunctory response, concious of time factors, and the fact that many want help and the actual community members responding and helping is disproportionally small to those seeking answers.

[Tecca]

Add this to either bp-custom.php in your plugins folder or to your theme’s functions.php file. It should work for your child theme.

add_filter( 'bp_activity_do_mentions', '__return_false' );

Keep in mind that copying+pasting from this forum might not be wise, since it doesn’t seem to preserve code. Either retype the line above or paste it into something like Notepad first.

[colabsadmin]

Sorry I thought I was clear. I dont need an example of how to create the tab and the submenus.

What I did was write a class that creates a top level member area tab called Favorites that consolidates all types of favorites within a single tab. https://github.com/colabsadmin/bp-favorites/blob/master/bp-favorites.php

The submenus that have been created so far are Activity, Topics, Posts and a few more for some CPTs that I’ve written. This will make it easier for my users to find their favorites when they cant remember if it came from a topic, posts, activity, etc. Instead of jumping around from tab to tab, its all in one tab. The only submenu that doesnt work is Activity. The code, which I provided in my first question, was copied directly from Buddypress core code with one change to use ‘bp_core_new_subnav_item’. I used similar code to display content in all the other submenus. For example, the following shows the favorite topics

// Favorite topics
bp_core_new_subnav_item( array(
		'name'            => __( 'Topics', 'kleo' ),
		'slug'            => "topics",
		'parent_url'      => $bp->displayed_user->domain . $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'] . '/',
		'parent_slug'     => $bp->bp_nav['favorites']['slug'],
		'screen_function' => 'bbp_member_forums_screen_favorites',
		'position'        => 10,
		'item_css_id'     => 'favorites'
));

So, my question, does bp_activity_screen_favorites() only work within the context of /members/membername/activity action? Or can it be used elsewhere as in /members/membersname/favorites?
