BuddyPress.org

when you installed buddypress sliding login panel you had to put this code define( ‘BP_DISABLE_ADMIN_BAR’, true );
in wp-config.php to hide the buddypress admin bar just take it out and deactivate buddypress sliding login panel.

In my installation, the Adminbar isn´t displayed on the login page. This is a function of WordPress … You could hide it for example with CSS.

.You could also try my plugin (he says with shameless self-promoting grin).

See this post for the latest beta version: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/forum/topic/updated-the-beta/
Here are the user configuration options available in the admin panel under “Settings” > “BP-WP-Navbar”
– Hide or display the main theme navigation
– Hide or display the site name in your new adminbar
– Hide or display the Login and Signup links in the adminbar
– Hide or display the “Visit Random” menu
– Select whether to display top-level WordPress pages horizontally or in a dropdown menu
– Define the label for the dropdown in WordPress 2.x
– If you’re running WP3.x, the plugin will fetch whatever custom menu labels you assign and display them in the admin bar along with all child pages in dropdowns
– Define the label for the Buddypress directory dropdown (default = “Community”)
– Define the font, font-weight and font-style for all menu items
– Define ALL colors: navbar background, main and sub menu item backgrounds, border, text and hover colors too
– Set the overall width of the navbar and of sub-menus
– Set the height of all menu items
– Adjust margins where required
– Reposition your fancy new custom navbar anywhere you like, relative to your theme so it scrolls with your pages

If you add categories to your custom menus in WP3.x, the plugin will pick them up and display them in whichever menus they are assigned to. Give it a whirl.

@hnla Well now, great progress!

I remember writing at some point that it’s often the most obvious that escapes me… Turns out I hadn’t “actually” selected any files to upload to subversion… I was just going through the motions and clicking buttons (doh!). The first version of the plugin is up and I just updated it with a whole bunch of cool new stuff. Code here: http://pastebin.com/Qquwe9pH

Thanks to your examples, I created 3 new custom configuration options: in addition to hide/show the main nav, users can now choose to hide/show the site name/logo, the Login/Signup links, and the Visit Random dropdown. I’ve also completely revamped the readme with a detailed FAQ, and added a fully commented stylesheet with the rules I use for my site to help get folks started on customizing their new admin/navbar.

Thanks a whole bunch for your invaluable help and instruction on this project! I can now say I’ve popped my plugin cherry!

Now we just have to wait for subversion to update………

How do you hide in the login screen that it says we are in maintenance mode?

Socialpreneur has a nice snippet here that makes it easy to hide the admin from the members list assuming you know the admin’s login name.

Place this in your bp-custom.php:


function my_bp_member_user_login() {
echo my_bp_get_member_user_login();
}
function my_bp_get_member_user_login() {
global $members_template;
return apply_filters( 'my_bp_get_member_user_login', $members_template->member->user_login );
}


Then in your members-loop.php file, place this just below the while statement (wrapped in php tags!):
if ( my_bp_get_member_user_login() == 'admin' ) continue ;

(Supposing your admin’s login is ‘admin’.)

@thelandman, in my solution I use javascript to generate the username from the weird semi-optional xprofile fullname field, hide the username field on the form, use the email login plugin so members don’t need the username to log in, add more custom code to synchronize the fullname and the fullname-derived username to all the various similar fields in the database, etc. It’s messy, but somewhat workable.

The point is that it should not be that hard. Using full names, Firstname Lastname, should be part of the core. Seeing that none of this is fixed in 1.2+ and probably will never be fixed, I have no plans to upgrade to newer versions of Buddypress and will continue developing my version as a fork, more suited for professional and business use. If anyone is interested in working with me on that, please contact me directly.

Or, just keep the wp-adminbar and add this to your style.css to hide the login link

ul.main-nav li.bp-login { display: none; }

Or, go to Dashboard, BuddyPress > General Settings and check Yes for “Hide admin bar for logged out users?“

Yup… it’s not a widget. Two options which would involved making a child theme. Don’t worry… it’s really simple: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

1. Make a child theme with a custom sidebar.php file and comment out or delete the login block of code.
2. Make a child theme and add this line to your “style.css” file

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

I suppose you could also try adding the code below to a “custom.php” file and putting it in your plugins directory (no child theme required)… but now I’m just getting silly. LOL (I haven’t tested this BTW).

<?php



add_action('wp_head', 'hide_login');

function hide_login() {

echo <<<CSS



<style type='text/css'>

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

</style>



CSS;

}



?>

or even this! (very silly)

<?php



add_action('bp_before_sidebar_login_form', 'open_login_comment');

function open_login_comment() { echo '<!--' }



add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'close_login_comment');

function close_login_comment() { echo '-->' }



?>

So how to you intend for people to login? Just via the regular WordPress login?

@osasko, do you use the email login plugin? You can’t get rid of the username entirely, because WordPress is built around it, but you can autogenerate a username and hide the input field on register.php by adding type=”hidden”. It’s an ugly hack…

… its for LOGIN not Registering.

logging in yeah, i can use it but first I need users with an email as username

That’s just a matter of restructuring the registration form (version 1.0 now, currently upgrading to 1.1.3). You can autogenerate the username from the fullname using this javascript trick and then hide the username field.

Hacking core files to actually put email addresses in the username fields in the database is a recipe for disaster. Why do you want to do that? What am I missing?

Please this is my first experience with WordPress and buddypress. I have installed wordpress Mu/buddypress successfully, I want to have a site where the main page will be used as an introduction to my social networking site, as well as the platform for login, and the second page to be the main social networking page… i have installed some customed made theme for the purpose of the Social.n/w.. but the whole thing is confusing me. PLEASE… i will be grateful if any one can give me step by step hint on how to go about this…….

….placing one theme as main page in subdomain and the other in main domain is…? Please Help…

I have a solution:

You need to edit the buddypress members loop file located probably at /wp-content/themes/bp-themes/bp-sn-parent/directories/members/members-loop.php

Find the members loop and make it look something like this:

<?php while ( bp_site_members() ) : bp_the_site_member(); ?>

<?php // put member name into variable

ob_start();

bp_the_site_member_name();

$excluded_user = ob_get_contents();

ob_end_clean();

?>

<?php if($excluded_user != ‘name of user goes here’) { ?>

// ORIGINAL CONTENTS OF LOOP GO HERE

<?php } // end if $excluded_user !=… ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Note that this will compare the name that the user entered in their profile, not to be confused with the login name. It would probably be best to give the user a complex name that nobody else would likely use so that you don’t accidentally hide unsuspecting users. Maybe you can figure out how to get the actual login name though.

Good luck to all

Probably a jQuery script, perhaps via a plugin, not necessarily. I know there are several WordPress Ajax login plugins.

I have a similar toggle hide script in my test site, but without the cool jQuery animation effect. They did a very nice job. I should look into that site for “ideas”…

Gigya Socialize worked for my install… I’ve only tried myspace, facebook and twitter – but it authenticated me correctly and I was able to login to BuddyPress. Only issue I’m having is that each time you login with one of your social usernames, it creates a new username in WPMU/BuddyPress, as opposed to all tying to your one WPMU/BuddyPress account. This created havoc for me, since I want to use groups, and other permissions.

At this point, I’m leaning towards limiting to just the Facebook login. Does anyone know if there is a way to hide/not allow login using the actual wordpress login, and ONLY use the login for Gigya Socialize? I/e allow users to go to wp-admin, but not give them the option to login using the user/pass – only letting them see the Gigya Socialize plugin.

Hey Peter,

It’s safe, but when upgrading to the newest BP version, you’ll have to remember to make this change again.

Either that, or until some option in the admin area is made.

I’m using BeLogical’s fix plus a CSS hack to hide the “Create a Blog” field right now.

There is no voting system, Peter. Although you can leave a message on the trac:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/835

You can login with your existing BP username and password there.

I have the same thing ‘(

To hide the error message, you can comment, in “bp-messages-ajax.php”, the core of “messages_ajax_autocomplete_results” like this :

function messages_ajax_autocomplete_results() {

/*global $bp;

// Get the friend ids based on the search terms

$friends = apply_filters( ‘bp_friends_autocomplete_list’, friends_search_friends( $_GET[‘q’], $bp->loggedin_user->id, $_GET[‘limit’], 1 ), $_GET[‘q’], $_GET[‘limit’] );

if ( $friends[‘friends’] ) {

foreach ( $friends[‘friends’] as $user_id ) {

$ud = get_userdata($user_id);

$username = $ud->user_login;

echo bp_core_get_avatar( $user_id, 1, 15, 15 ) . ‘ ‘ . bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) . ‘ (‘ . $username . ‘)

‘;

}

}*/

}

If anyone know how show users list I am interested…

I tried with “friends_search_users” but I got the same error message “Call undefined function”.

Sorry for my poor english :p
