BuddyPress.org

Dear @danbp
thank you for your kind reply.
Sorry, I’m not sure I exactly understand what do you mean.
I definitely don’t want to complicated things (if it sounded like that)… as you said, I would like to keep the Favorite in user profile – however, I don’t need people to favorite their statuses (I actually removed that with CSS) – I wish to have it in blogs – so when for example Mike post a blog “Awesome BuddyPress 😉 ” I can press Favorite – this means I’ld collect favorite blogs and see them in my profile anytime in the future 😉
This is also cool, because the notifications are there… I love this features… they are just not in the right place for me 😉

Thank you very much for your help 🙂

I would like to have on my website the same solution of buddydev.com. See this examples please:

BUDDYPRESS: https://buddypress.org/members/tizianopitisci/notifications/
BUDDYDEV: https://buddydev.com/members/tizianopitisci/notifications/

In buddydev users:
1. Recive a notification by email with a link inside;
2. Follow the link;
3. Make the log-in;
4. Access the private area

I wuold like to have the same solution. Do you think is possible?

Thanks for your help

It’s a staging site that doesn’t have public access, but I can put the code and info in here. Here is the complete code of the functions.php in the child theme. maybe I just put it all together wrong.

<?php
function nisarg_enqueue_styles() {

    $parent_style = 'nisarg-style';

    wp_enqueue_style( 'bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri().'/css/bootstrap.css' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'font-awesome', get_template_directory_uri().'/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css' );   
    wp_enqueue_style( $parent_style, get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

    wp_enqueue_style( 'nisarg-child-style',
        get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',
        array( $parent_style )
    );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'nisarg_enqueue_styles' );
?>
<?php
function custom_wp_mail_from( $email ) {
        $handle = ‘accounts’;
	$find = 'http://'; 
	$replace = '';
	$link = get_bloginfo( 'url' );
	$domain = str_replace( $find, $replace, $link );
	return $handle . '@' . $domain ;
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'custom_wp_mail_from' );
?>

The email link is:http://mydomain.com/activate/JA0BvkK1Q0DND10SYegdOtkTMemhGUF0/

When I click on it immediately, I get all this:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: ‘accounts’@mydomain.com’ in /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:946 Stack trace: #0 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/pluggable.php(352): PHPMailer->setFrom(‘\xE2\x80\x98accounts\xE2\x80\x99@…’, ‘WordPress’) #1 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/pluggable.php(1726): wp_mail(‘webmaster@arlin…’, ‘[My Dev Sit…’, ‘New user regist…’) #2 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php(2031): wp_new_user_notification(18) #3 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-screens.php(364): bp_core_activate_signup(‘JA0BvkK1Q0DND10…’) #4 [internal function]: bp_core_screen_activation(”) #5 /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): cal in /homepages/25/d283441938/htdocs/clickandbuilds/staging/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 946

If I wait a while, then I get the normal webpage and it says “invalid activation key”. I don’t understand the significance of an immediate click on the link in the email vs. waiting a few more seconds, but it definitely matters.

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 );

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.

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!

Hey @buddycore,
thanks for your reply.
Sorry, I’ll try 😉
1, Well, we have users (buddypress) they post their stories from front end – using social articles plugin. Sometime, their stories have chapters… so, it would be nice to link them somehow. I didn’t find the way to do that, so I thought I would try it here — maybe a bit of brainstorming 😉

2, In regards of the images – I know lots of site have problems with copyrights, so I would like to control the images by allowing only selection from library.

3, allow buddypress users to follow certain blog posts – so, when it’s edited or commented they receive notification? – — I hope this one is clear 😉

Thanks a lot 🙂
