BuddyPress.org

Simply, create a child theme, copy the members/single/profile/ edit.php to

yourchild-theme/members/single/profile/edit.php

Now modify it slightly,

Like put his before the first line of edit.php

<?php if(bp_get_current_profile_group_id()==1)>

<ul class="button-nav">

<?php bp_profile_group_tabs(); ?>

</ul>

<div class="clear"></div>

<?php

locate_template(array("members/single/profile/profile-loop.php"),true);?>

<p><b>Your Username is your identity and We hate to see you changing your identity, so our computer has decided to disable editing it for you.Please Edit all other data in your profile as you wish 

</b>

</p>

<?php

else:?>

and at the end of Edit.php put this line

<?php endif;?>

Now go and check your profile page.

please let me know if it works or not

@gian-ava: For your second question, check out this post https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/faq-how-to-code-snippets-and-solutions#post-13243

I haven’t tried this but it would suggest you could do something like:

<?php if ( bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=9') || bp_has_profile('profile_group_id=7') ) : ?>

<?php while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>

<div id="widget1">

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "9") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 9

<?php endif; ?>

<?php if (bp_the_profile_group() == "7") : ?>

// Do whatever you want with group 7

<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<? endwhile; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The only part I’m not sure about is if you need the first call to bp_the_profile_group() on the second line (after the start of the while loop).

First, I just found a small bug and fixed it in the trunk – you just need to update the file: bp-forum-extras-activity.php

Second, make sure you add the theme edit (detailed on forum extras wp-admin page)

The comments appear directly underneath the post which has the activity. It pulls in all replies for the given post (so threaded). It will work for any backdated activity comments – whatever it can find for the given group_id and post_id (item_id)

$activity_id = bp_activity_post_update( array( ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id ) );

$activity_id = groups_post_update( array( ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘group_id’ => $group_id ) );

The functions above will post an update by the user on their profile, or in a group. It will return the activity ID which you can use to attach a comment:

$comment_id = bp_activity_new_comment( array( ‘activity_id’ => $activity_id, ‘content’ => $content, ‘user_id’ => $user_id, ‘parent_id’ => [optional] ) );

You could post a reply to that comment by using the same function and passing the $comment_id as the parent_id param.

You could create one group that all people join when they register.

Use DJPaul’s Welcome Pack plugin for that:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/

Otherwise go the external bbPress route, and yes, you’ll need to theme it.

[EDIT]

Forgot that Paul changed his plugin so it sends out group invites, instead of auto joining groups.

If you want to make Paul’s plugin automatically join groups.

Change the following lines in the Welcome Pack plugin from:

groups_invite_user( array( 'user_id' => $new_user_id, 'group_id' => $group_id, 'inviter_id' => $group->creator_id ) );

groups_send_invites( $group->creator_id, $group_id );

to:

groups_join_group( $group_id, $new_user_id );

I should say I haven’t tried this, but it should work.

going through cleaning up my server logs and noticed the following:

Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /wp-content/plugins/bp-groupblog/bp-groupblog.php on line 355

also, very strange problem that just popped up. I did disable every plugin to make sure it was not the issue, but did not help. I tried it on the default bp template, as well as my own.

http://jerrygaffney.net/groups/mens-ministries/blog/

notice that there is no title to the article nor is there anything in the ‘page’ icon.

I think ‘the_title’ is not passing through properly but it does pass through on the blog activity below the blog page.. very very strange, as it used to work, and nothing changed that I know of….

a simple example that will auto link a group slug mention in an activity update

this a proof == i’m lazy. so it only matches the group slug and NOT the true name (someone would have to build a function for that)

…and this uses a caret but anything can be used

function bp_activity_at_groupname_filter( $content ) {



//define your catch hook, i'm partial to the bang but lets eat a caret

$pattern = '/[\\^]+([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/';

preg_match_all( $pattern, $content, $groupnames );



/* Make sure there's only one instance of each groupname */

if ( !$groupnames = array_unique( $groupnames[1] ) )

return $content;



foreach( (array)$groupnames as $groupname ) {



//note this is the group slug as for a proof - need to build a group "name" lookup function

if ( !$group_id = BP_Groups_Group::group_exists( $groupname ) )

continue;



//too much work to get a link

$thisgroup = new BP_Groups_Group( $group_id );



$content = str_replace( "^$groupname", "<a href='" . bp_get_group_permalink( $thisgroup ) . "' rel='nofollow'>^$groupname</a>", $content );

}



return $content;

}

add_filter( 'bp_activity_new_update_content', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

add_filter( 'groups_activity_new_update_content', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

add_filter( 'pre_comment_content', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

add_filter( 'group_forum_topic_text_before_save', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

add_filter( 'group_forum_post_text_before_save', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

add_filter( 'bp_activity_comment_content', 'bp_activity_at_groupname_filter' );

Great plugin Boone! I found one issue though –

There’s no pagination, so I could only see the first page of groups. You can just add this:

<div class="tablenav">

<div class="tablenav-pages">



<span class="displaying-num" id="group-dir-count">

<?php bp_groups_pagination_count() ?>

</span>



<span class="page-numbers" id="group-dir-pag">

<?php bp_groups_pagination_links() ?>

</span>



</div>

</div>

You will need to move the <?php if( bp_has_groups( $args ) ) : ?> above that though and get it outside of the table generation.

I also thought it would be nice to add a column at the start for the group avatar?

<td scope="row" style="text-align: center; padding: 5px 10px">

<a href="admin.php?page=bp-group-management/bp-group-management-bp-functions.php&action=edit&id=<?php bp_group_id() ?>" class="edit"><?php bp_group_avatar( 'width=35&height=35' ); ?></a>

</td>

You’d probably want to move the inline CSS out of there.

edit the theme file /activity/entry.php and under the activity-meta div – you’ll see the link for comments. you could add the following checks to that section:

bp_get_activity_object_name() == 'groups'  //the component name

groups_is_user_member( $bp->loggedin_user->id, bp_get_activity_item_id() )  //if a group then item_id references the group_id

(i didn’t test this – just what i found)

i notified Andy of this problem, but here is my fix – needs to hash the post link (but this would leave to problems when removing a feed and the activity not deleting)

/* Fetch an existing activity_id if one exists. */

if ( function_exists( 'bp_activity_get_activity_id' ) )

$id = bp_activity_get_activity_id( array( 'user_id' => false, 'component' => $bp->groups->id, 'type' => 'exb', 'item_id' => $group_id, 'secondary_item_id' => wp_hash( $post['link'] ) ) );



/* Record or update in activity streams. */

groups_record_activity( array(

'id' => $id,

'user_id' => false,

'action' => $activity_action,

'content' => $activity_content,

'primary_link' => $post['link'],

'type' => 'exb',

'item_id' => $group_id,

'secondary_item_id' => wp_hash( $post['link'] ),

'recorded_time' => gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s", $post_date ),

'hide_sitewide' => $hide_sitewide

) );

I’d like to open this one back up. The project is for a local recycling program and I’m having trouble with a form for members to schedule pickups on the profile/index page. It calls XProfile address fields and tomorrow’s date for the default values, and should insert them into a custom table. The plugin creates a table and pulls the xprofile data fine, but nothing is reaching the database. I’ve tried every possible variation based on the bp-core and Travel-Junkie’s example above, but nothing is working.

Here’s the plugin:

<?php

/*

Plugin URI: -

Description: Adds a table and page for listing and editing Recylable Collections.

Version: 1.0

*/



function collect_install_table() {

global $wpdb;

global $bp;



if ( !empty($wpdb->charset) )

$charset_collate = "DEFAULT CHARACTER SET $wpdb->charset";



$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . 'collections';

if($wpdb->get_var("show tables like '$table_name'") != $table_name) {



$sql = "CREATE TABLE " . $table_name . " (

) {$charset_collate};";



require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php');

dbDelta($sql);

}

}



/*Launch database*/

register_activation_hook(__FILE__,'collect_install_table');



function bp_collections() {

global $wpdb;

global $bp;



/* bp_is_home() Checks to make sure the current user being viewed equals the logged in user */



if ( !bp_is_home() && !is_site_admin() )

return false;



/* Check for new information*/

if( isset($_POST['go'] ))

{

/* Check the nonce */



check_admin_referer( 'schedule_collect' );



if( $_POST['sched_date'] && ! $_POST['address_line_1'] || ! $_POST['sched_date'] && $_POST['address_line_1'] )

{

bp_core_add_message( __( 'We need a time and a place!', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

$error = true;

}



if( ! $error )

{

$user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;



if( isset( $_POST['address_line_2'] ) ) {

$address_line_2 = $_POST['address_line_2'];

}



$result = $wpdb->query( $wpdb->prepare("

INSERT INTO $wpdb->1_collections

( sched_date, post_date, user_id, address_line_1, address_line_2, town, state, zip_code )

$_POST['sched_date'], $_POST['post_date'], $user_id, $_POST['address_line_1'], $address_line_2, $_POST['town'], $_POST['state'], $_POST['zip_code'] ) );



/* Set the feedback messages */

if ( $errors )

bp_core_add_message( __( 'There was a problem calling your pickup, please try again.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );

else

bp_core_add_message( __( 'Thanks for calling a recycling pickup.', 'buddypress' ) );



}



bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'xprofile_template_display_profile', 'profile/index' ) );

}

}

/* Function to call xprofile Address label */



function collections_xprofile( $field ) {

echo bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data( $field );

}

function bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data( $field ) {

global $bp, $site_members_template;

return xprofile_get_field_data( $field, $site_members_template->member->id );

}



?>

And the form:

<?php if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=' . bp_get_current_profile_group_id() ) ) : while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>



<form action="" method="post" id="oncall" class="oncall">



<label for="address">At</label>

<input type="text" name="address_line_1" id="address_line_1" value="<?php echo bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data('Address Line 1') ?>" />

<input type="text" name="address_line_2" id="address_line_2" value="<?php echo bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data('Address Line 2') ?>" />

<input type="text" name="town" id="town" value="<?php echo bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data('Town') ?>" />

<input type="hidden" name="state" id="state" value="MS" />

<input type="" name="zip_code" id="zip_code" value="<?php echo bp_collections_get_member_list_xprofile_data('Zip Code') ?>" />

<br />

<label for="date">On</label>

<input type="text" name="sched_date" id="sched_date" value="<?php $tomorrow = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+1,date("Y")); echo date("Y/m/d", $tomorrow); ?>" />



<input type="submit" name="go" id="go" value="go"/>

<input type="hidden" name="post_date" id="post_date" value="<?php $my_t=getdate(date("U")); print("$my_t[weekday], $my_t[month] $my_t[mday], $my_t[year]"); ?> " />



<?php wp_nonce_field( 'schedule_collect' ) ?>

</form>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

It has to be something simple but I’m lost. I’d really appreciate it if someone could take a minute and tell me what’s wrong with the code.

UPDATE:

The filtering has been consolidated and drastically improved as of revision 2580. Here is an updated example:

function my_activity_filter( $query_string, $object, $filter, $scope, $page, $search_terms, $extras ) {

global $bp;



if ( $object != 'activity' || $scope != 'myclass' || !is_user_logged_in() )

return $query_string;



$args = array();

parse_str( $query_string, $args );

$args['object'] = $bp->groups->id;

$args['primary_id'] = function_to_get_group_id_for_logged_in_user();



return http_build_query( $args );

}

add_filter( 'bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring', 'my_activity_filter', 1, 7 );

As you can see a TON more information about the request is being passed to the filtering, so you can more easily determine what you need to do to handle it properly.

do_action( 'groups_join_group', $group_id, $user_id );

Hi Peter, I had the same problem, here is the code that will move everything from group_id 1 to group_id 3

Check the id of the secondary group and change the number 3.

—

require_once(‘wp-blog-header.php’);

$x = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT * FROM wp_bp_xprofile_fields WHERE group_id=1 and is_required=0”);

foreach($x as $k=>$v){

$wpdb->update(‘wp_bp_xprofile_fields’,array(‘group_id’=>3),array(‘id’=>$v->id));

}

I have a problem:

how do i pickup the group_id of the forum topic. Thant way i can build the link to the from topic from the home page.

Thanks. That clears things up. The only other problem I’ve encountered is after I deactivate the BuddyPress plugin and re-activate it, I’ll get the follow db errors:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate key name ‘useritem’]
