BuddyPress.org

I’m using BP for a client’s employee intranet and I’ve setup a custom admin dashboard for the client. The dashboard has two panels, one for WP related action and the second for BP related actions.

In the BP related panel, I want to add links for their authorized users to be able to send sitewide notifications and mass emails to their employees. Both these functions are on the frontend in the user’s profile messaging section.

To make this happen I need to add a dynamic link so when a user clicks on the email icon in dashboard panel the user will go to the compose mass message tab (added by 3rd party plugin) in their specific profile on the frontend.

I know how to accomplish this on the front end and in the menu navigation but none of the usual options or variables work inside the admin dashboard.

Any suggestions or advice on how to accomplish this?

Hi,

I am trying to add to group activity stream and send a notification but its not working – Help pls
Adding to group activity like this

add_post_type_support( 'product', 'buddypress-activity' );

function customize_page_tracking_args() {
	// Check if the Activity component is active before using it.
	if ( ! bp_is_active( 'activity' ) ) {
		return;
	}
	
	global $bp;
	$gid = $bp->groups->current_group->id;
	$group = new BP_Groups_Group($gid, true);
	$user_id = get_current_user_id();
	
	
	groups_record_activity( array(
			'action'  => apply_filters( 'groups_activity_new_update_action', sprintf( __( '%1$s publicó una actualización en %2$s', 'buddypress'), bp_core_get_userlink( $user_id ), '<a href="' . bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . '">' . esc_attr( bp_get_group_name( $group ) ) . '</a>' ) ),
			'content'   => $content,
			'type'    => $type,
			'item_id' => $gid,
			'user_id' => $user_id
	)
	);

}
add_action( 'save_post', 'customize_page_tracking_args', 1000 );

Adding to notification like this

bp_notifications_add_notification( array(
		'user_id'           => $cid,
		'item_id'           => $post_id,
		
) );

Hello I have a theme with a live notification feature, I asked the creator of the theme about how to add more notifications but he told me it all came from a buddypress notification table, so I should find a way to add the notification behavior on BP and then his add on will took those automatically.

I particularly want 2 more notification behaviors but I don’t really how to start, when you are in a group and you write something in one of the forums of that group, if somebody else write after you I woud like some kind of notification in order to follow the conversation. I tried the subscribe “+” but I didn’t receive nothing on my BP sire, (I can do it by email, but I would prefeer to avoid email notifications).

Same case with comments on products (I have bP and Woocommerce integrated), when somebody write something in a product I would like to automatically subscribe that user to receive updates or notifications if somebody answer him or write after him.

any idea how to adress those behaviors to facilitate the interaction between users?

Thanks!

I am looking to remove my WordPress Admin Bar (hide it completely) as users will not have access to most stuff on there anyway.

I would however like to keep the BuddyPress notifications area (the thing that says Howdy…) that has all the account options on.

I want to move this to an independent bar below my main menu as has been done on the BuddyPress site here, the bar that says BuddyPress.org My Sites and has the Howdy account bar on the right.

Does anyone know how this was done and how to do it?

I’ve been getting weird errors when trying to log an activity item via bp_activity_add():

WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_i' at line 1 for query INSERT INTO ( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_id, secondary_item_id, hide_sitewide, is_spam ) VALUES ( 3163, 'members', 'new_member', '', '', '', '2015-07-16 15:47:00', 0, 0, 0, 0 ) made by require('wp-blog-header. php'), require_once('wp-load.php'), require_once('/srv/www/commons/current/web/wp-config. php'), require_once('wp-settings.php'), include('/themes/tuileries/functions.php'), bp_activity_add, BP_Activity_Activity->save

As you can see, there’s no table name here. It should be INSERT INTO wp_bp_activities... or thereabouts. It looks like BP_Activity_Activity->save() is trying to access $bp->activity->table_name, but $bp->activity doesn’t have a table_name property at this stage. Instead, this is all that is in $bp->activity:

BP_Activity_Component Object
(
    [name] => Activity Streams
    [id] => activity
    [slug] =>
    [has_directory] =>
    [path] => /srv/www/commons/current/web/app/plugins/buddypress/
    [query] =>
    [current_id] =>
    [notification_callback] =>
    [admin_menu] =>
    [search_string] =>
    [root_slug] =>
    [meta_tables] => Array
        (
        )

    [global_tables] => Array
        (
        )

    [adminbar_myaccount_order] => 10
)

Why isn’t there a table name here? How can I fix this?

Wordpress version is 4.2.2
Buddypress Version 2.3.2.1
bbpress Version 2.5.7
my website http://atheistzone.com/
I am using buddy premium theme.

I am facing email related issue. I noticed it on Sunday when i sent mass emails from my old site and asked members to check out new site.

I noticed about 30 emails in pending columns. Activation emails were sent sometimes but most of the times were not sent.

Today i noticed another issue that is also related to email. Emails are sent but reaching about 10 to 45 minutes late in users’ account. I am also receiving notifications of new activity late.

Both activation emails and notifications of new replies are affected by this issue. Notifications of comments on blog posts are also reaching about 10 to 45 late in my email account. I am not using any email related plugin.

I have tested gmail as well as yahoo email account. Same problem. Email reaches late.

I have contacted my web host, HostGator twice via chat but he said it is not a server issue and blames software.

1. Which version of WordPress are you running?
4.2.2

2. Did you install WordPress as a directory or subdomain install?
3. If a directory install, is it in root or in a subdirectory?
It is at domain.com/members

4. Did you upgrade from a previous version of WordPress? If so, from which version?
No

5. Was WordPress functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.
This is a fresh install–relatively, I’ve been playing and testing with it for a month or two, but no posts–not yet public.

6. Which version of BP are you running?
2.3.2.1

7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
I have updated my plugins whenever it asks so maybe, but the issues have been present pretty much since I started. I’vbe just been focusing on different areas.

8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated? If so, which ones?
Advanced Access Manager: not activated
Akismet: still need to get the API
Child Theme Configurator
Conditional Menus
Lazy Load for Videos
Microthemer: not activated
Press Permit Core: not activated
Restrict User Access
Simple:Press
UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore
User Role Editor
Zippy Courses

Some are not activated because I was trying out a few different plugins for user roles.

9. Are you using the standard WordPress theme or customized theme?
I have created a child theme from the Social Triggers theme for Zippy Courses

10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
I don’t think so.

11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
I don’t think so.

12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
Not running bbPress

13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
How do I do this?
I copied the 300 most recent and removed those that were not from the members folder (smf forum had the most) and got a list of 16–of course there would be more if it listed more than 300. But these give addresses and IPs.
I’m probably not understanding how to do this.

All of them are File not Found errors and there are 8 different ones–each error shows twice.
8 refer to Zippy courses, referencing the child theme and wp-admin
2: wp-admin/index.php
2: wp-admin/plugins.php
2: wp-admin/themes.php
2: wp-admin/update-core.php

The other 8 do not refer to Zippy Courses, but otherwise refer to the same end places.
Does that help?

14. Which company provides your hosting?
Cyberlynk

15. Is your server running Windows, or if Linux; Apache, nginx or something else?
Windows

I switched themes to 2015 and then 2013 to see if it made a difference and it did not.

I installed a fresh install of WP at a new location (domain.com/members) for using the zippy courses plugin. Afterwards I thought I should try out BuddyPress with it, so I installed and activated it.
I’ve had some issues and I don’t know if its zippy courses, buddypress or something else. But I did just go to the codex and read that I should not have use softaculous to install WP.
So I think I should start over again—not a huge deal since I’m just playing around with zippy and buddy, but I would rather not lose some of the things I’ve done. How can I save what I’ve done and still reinstall? Zippy courses has an importer/exporter, so that’s no problem, but what about the other stuff:
I’ve set up user roles with a plugin and created a child theme and added a second menu and done some other things that, for me, took time.

Some of the issues could simply be that I’m still learning (like the child-theme). All of the pages in both the zippy and buddypress core pages section say they are pointing to the page with the corresponding name. I have the front page set as Home. But when I try to go to the homepage it goes directly to the members page instead.
When I try the links at the top: activity, notifications, profile, settings; they all go to

The requested URL /members/members/Rollercoasterider/notifications/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

The only one that goes somewhere is the log out link and that goes to the Simple:Press forum I just set up—before I installed Simple:Press it went somewhere else. I don’t know why it is now going to Simple:Press. (Other than this now directing to Simple:Press, all these issues were present before I installed Simple:Press).

Why do pretty permalinks need to be used? I thought I read something (a few years ago) about these causing problems.

Hi, I am creating the website dexterlist.com and the registered users do not receive any kind of notification (email, profile bell, live notifications) when someone comments to their posts. I am using a paid theme called Kleo: http://seventhqueen.com/themedemo/?product=kleo, WordPress version 4.2.2 and Buddypress version 2.3.1. The support forum of the Kleo theme told me it is not a theme problem but a Buddypress one. Please advise.
