@bigkahunaburger you must be talking about plain text tinymce editor (just like you see here in the editor)?? If this is the one you’re talking about, then you can do it without problem (even in the replies).. What I’m talking about is rich text editor where you can see the image conversion (from code) within the editor text area itself like in the wp backend. This will allow direct image insertion in the post form along with some few other basic features like bold, italic, indentation and listing – which is a basis of WYSIWYG. This ensures that instead of dealing with the codes, you will see directly preview of live output within the content itself which is very important when you’re building social networking website.. As you’d know social networkers doesn’t understand codes and it looks very messy (unless it’s a forums like here).. Check for example quora.com.. But to be aware that, while working with media button in tinymce, it comes huge responsibilites with storing the images and restricting others from accessing the gallery of other users.. If you can allocate space for storing images in your subdomains, and restrict others from accessing gallery of fellow users – it could be a juicy UI to bet on..

@boonebgorges, thank you for the patch. Works like a charm for standalone or group forums.

[danbp]

I don’t know, sorry ! And i’m even unsure if it is not a WP bug (what i suspect) or a little BP or bbP issue.
I asked twice for this on BuddyPress Slack, without answer at this time.
Suggest you open a bug ticket for this on Trac and add a link to this topic.
You can loggin there by using the same credentials as on this forum.

Here am I! And thanks, first of all.

@danbp

i have no exact idea what’s happening on your install. It’s a bit strange.

From what you relate, when you delete a topic it is “normal” that it diseappear from dashboard (from topic list of Forum admin at least). On front it seems there is a problem. I presume you already tried to refresh the page after you got a 404 ? YES, OF COURSE.

I already asked you if you use bbPress as standalone or group forum and if you use a cache. Can you give details about this please ? I AM NOT EXPERT AND ENGLISH IS NOT MY LANGUAGE, SO I HOPE TO UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. I AM NOT SPEAKING ABOUT A FORUM IN A GROUP, NO. I HAVE A PAGE WITH FORUMS, NOT RELATED TO GROUPS.

Anyway i think there is a bug somewhere, so please don’t panic and be patient. OK, I’LL TRY 🙂

While testing this (wp 4.6, BP 2.6.2 and bbP 2.5.10) i got some difference between MS and single installs.

– On MS, the activity is removed as soon as i delete the topic in forum admin. All my MS are live sites and use standalone forums.
– On my local MS with standalone forum, nothing is removed from activity and i’m unable to restore a trashed topic.

Doing the same thing on various local single install and group forums doesn’t remove the activity.
Also on single, when i trash a topic i’m unable to untrash it.

I quickly checked on BP & bbP trac but found nothing about this issue.

THANKS, I’LL TRY SOME SOLUTIONS, AND THEN REPORT HERE.

I created a site, looking to mirror Ning as much as possible, generally it’s a bit problematic in a number of ways.

Forums are ok, you can get a chat plugin that works in a very similar way to Nings, however there is no music player, user profile pages are woefully basic, as are groups, with very little you can do to provide users and group owners with customisation. In general the user interface is very clunky with lots of scrolling and clicking to get to information that with Ning you could organise to have it viewed with just one click.

Also, in order to get the Ning look and feel and features, you have to load up so many plugins that site performance suffers.

There is no Ning import option from what I can see, I never had to do this but I noticed the plugin that allowed you to do this was well out of date so would suggest it no longer works, and even if it did, it would only pull in the very basic of info.

Regarding support, you will have to do a great deal of this yourself, these forums can help but at the end of the day you will be creating a site with many different plugins, each of those have interdependencies and it is up to you to become an expert in getting these to work together, finding out when they don’t and identifying the one that is causing the problem and to raise this as an issue with the developer (my site for example uses plugins from around 40-50 different developers for example).

Having said all that, this software is in the most part free, and there are some features that Ning does not have, I tried several different solutions before settling on WP/BP and in my view this combination provided me with the best of the available options.

Hi,

Sorry that no one has responded to your post.

If there are issues with the codebase (as is the case in this instance), you should post a report on our bug tracker, Trac:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

You should be able to login with the same credentials you use here on wordpress.org.

Can you go into further detail about how you are deleting the comment? Are you deleting an activity comment that is connected to a post?

Under “Settings > BuddyPress > Options”, is “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” checked or unchecked?

—-

For my test:
1. “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is checked.
2. I posted a comment on a WP blog post.
3. I navigate to the BP activity directory page and find the post in the activity stream. The WP comment that I made is listed as an activity comment under the post in the activity stream and not listed as a separate activity stream item.
4. I click on the “Delete” button for my activity comment entry.
5. I do not see the “There was a problem…” error.

I haven’t tested when “Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts” is unchecked yet.

Are you getting ANY emails from WordPress? For example, comment moderation/approval notices.

If you are not, then this is a general WordPress problem and you will get better help quicker by 1) contacting your web host for support and 2) posting on the wordpress.org support forums.

The vid explains that adding a bp activity link to a post embeds. Is embedding in the activity native yet?

What the embed scripts? like of the provider.

Would love to make this compatible , especially in the groups https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframely/

Here was my old combo to achieve this. https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-oembed-for-buddypress-embedly-oembed-4-bp-all-embedly-content-in-bp-forum-yaaay/

[FEARtheMoose]

I’ve been trying to find a way to make the activity and forum tabs only visible to the logged in user. So for example, if im logged into my profile, i will be able to see/use the activity and forum tabs, however, im the only one who can see them.

I managed to hide the tabs from users using css, but that only works for people who are logged out. Anyone who is logged into their account can still see those tabs due to there not being a specific css class. However, i would much rather a non CSS way of removing them for obvious reasons.

Any help would be much appreciated, as i cant seem to find to much on the topic bar removing it with css.

Cheers

My brilliant husband is my coder… He figured out how to define the default component, and saved the day. I hope this helps others.

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'profile' );

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity');
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications');
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'settings' );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

[danbp]

Hi,

Sorry but we can’t assist you for premium plugins. You have to ask for help on the plugin support forum.

[danbp]

Deactivate all plugins except BP and activate a WP default Twenty theme and test.

If it is ok, reactivate and test by one one the plugins.
If ok reactivate kleo.

Search for “kleo” on this forum, you might find some related topics.

If nothing helps from the above, you have to contact the theme support. We can’t help you much here with premium themes, as we have no free access to it’s code.

[danbp]

Hi,

i would use a cleaner code like what is indicated here.

WP function references
wp_mail_from
wp_mail_from_name

BP function references
bp_core_email_from_name_filter
bp_core_email_from_address_filter

NB: please use the code button when you insert code on this forum.

@djpaul, @netweb @jjj thanks for your thoughts !

[ico33]

I changed the theme as suggested. Nothing to do. If I create a discussion (bbpress), it is shown in buddypress activity. If I delete the discussion from the forum, it is still present in activity, but oviously clicking on it it shows 404 error page not found.

Any Idea?

[danbp]

No, i don’t think so.
First check within dashboard > Activity that this activity doesn’t exist.
Check also Forum’s topic list (within admin) and ensure you removed the whole topic and not only a reply to a topic or a reply to a reply… Weird i know, but it can happen.

Perhaps you can also verify other activity type such as a profile upddate or publishing a notice.

Create something who generates an activity.
Go to Site Wide Activity on front and see if it appears.
Go to dashboard and delete it from the list.
Verify that it is removed on front.

Now loggin as subscriber and not as site admin.
Again create an activity. See if it appears and delete it.

Finally do the same test with a forum topic, as site admin and single user.

Also, do you use a standalone forum or group forums ?

[ico33]

@danbp thanks for your reply. I am not so expert, so it’s good that somebody helps.

I use Dynamic News Pro (the theme), now I checked all the repair in FORUM and also Buddypress, but this doesn’t work. In my activity I still have a discussion that was deleted, and if I click on the activity – obviously – it gets the error 404 page not found.

Do you think I have to change the theme? Or something else to suggest?

[danbp]

Hi,

you can try to remove the private message button from the template or hide it with CSS.
And add a custom one who leads to admin inbox.

The link should look like
http://your-site.com/members/YOU/messages/compose/?r=THE ADMIN&_wpnonce=an_alpha_numeric_value

See here how you may code this

Codex and Forum are your friends to search about template customization.

[danbp]

Please use the <code> button when you insert code on the forum.

On which page exactly do you see this code ?
If on your profile, thought it should be notifications-my-notifications-personal-li

Do you use a child theme ?
What is your theme ?
Do you use a notification related plugin ?

[Fantacular Designs]

I also attempted to add them individually…

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'activity' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'messages' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'groups' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'forums' );
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'settings' );
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

I’ve noticed some changes require us to repeat ourselves, while others allow us to list changes within one line of code. Haven’t deciphered this anomaly just yet.

[Fantacular Designs]

I placed the following code in the bp-custom.php which was found under the wp-content -> plugins.

function bpfr_hide_tabs() {
global $bp;

	if ( bp_is_user() && !is_super_admin() ) {
		bp_core_remove_nav_item( 'notifications', 'activity', 'groups', 'messages', 'forums', 'settings');
	}
	
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_hide_tabs', 15 );

It breaks my site, shuts it down. From what I’ve read, I am supposed to specify what tab is open when opening a profile. Otherwise, browsers don’t know what to display since default is “Activity” and I’m removing it… Can someone please tell me where I went wrong? I appreciate the help!

[danbp]

I doubt that it stopped to work as it was updated recently (29 March, 2016).
You’ve better to ask for this issue on the plugin support.

In the meanwhile, have you activated wp_debug in wp-config ?
Perhaps this will show you some php errors you ignore at this time.

You could (should) also give some details about your install when asking such obscur question. Do you use custom functions, plugin list, theme name, wp, bp, php version…

[jbboro3]

Hey, @danbp Thanks for the long and detailed response.

I’m fully aware of what you’re trying to convey the risk factors on this.. But as my requirements are different, I’ve completely disabled the media library and allowed access the users to each individual gallery only (negating the access of other’s files).. I’ve uploaded images hosted on sub-domains that completely separate from the main site.

All the activities that takes place on the site are on the front end.. The back end wp administrator dashboard are disabled for editing ( of course they are enabled for updating plugins & adding pages occasionally) as most of the pages are done in custom-template.. No admin or author level privileges are created on the site – just the subscriber as it’s mainly a networking site.. The idea that attaching the media button gives lots of flexibility to the users to resize the images or review them in the content area itself before they can post the activity.. Unless it’s a forums or community sites, for a networking sites, leaving alone with html codes or text editors may be (perhaps) discouraging impression for the social users.

I’m glad that you pointed out it’s more of a wordpress thing than buddypress.. I’ll have a look at the possibility of getting it work and let you know.

Thanks.

[danbp]

According to your specifications:

1) We would like that user after purchase of one of those services could access to a private page where he can manage what he have purchased.

2) We would like to have freedom to put personalized content on user private pages.

3) We need in particular that a user could use a contact form tu send us extra information on services configuration.

Solution:
1) woocommerce + some page privacy settings
2) wordpress configuration
3) a contact form ?

I would say you don’t need BuddyPress for that. Confirmed by your statement:
We don’t need to have interaction between user, like a forum or a social network.

Read about BuddyPress.

[danbp]

No sorry! If you have difficulty with a plugin, you have to ask on it’s support forum.
