Back again, after just completing the above edits and BINGO! it works! But only because i followed your very clear step-by-step instructions above. Thank you @danbp and @hnla for your help and support – Only possible by the ‘paint by numbers’ approach for me at present!

I presume that if i want to ‘hide a couple of other things in a user’s profile section I could do it the same way (just don’t know where of course!)? Both are in a user’s profile > Settings; one is the ‘Profile Visibilty’ tab and the other is the bottom section of the ‘Email’ notifications tab, which shows the Groups email notifications options (as I’ve set them all to default as off for new users, via my functions.php).

But I’m happy to start a new thread for this as it might be better for others to follow?

Cheers.

Interestingly when I set up users myself abd registered them I only get one email notification that a new user has registered. but when others register I get a double notification. See attached screengrab. Could they be spammers?

Also on the activity page there is a double entry of their join date with one being squished off to the right side… also see attached screen grab:

@xander206 Thanks for the response. 🙂

I had a quick look at the link your provided and I’m not really sure it’s quite what I am looking for.

At present there is already a ‘notifications’ area on the profile page (and on the ‘admin’ bar at the top of the page) and notifications for @ mentions on the profile itself are working and also notifications for friend requests are working too.

The only thing that isn’t working is notifications for @ mentions on comments on posts. Whenever someone replies to a comment on a post and starts it with @ username it is being linked to their profile but it is not sending a notification to that person that they have been mentioned.

Cheers

Hi @mrjarbenne,

Thanks so much for helping – I’ve only just found your reply (don’t know what happened to the email notification this time). Anyway, I’ve added it into my bp-custom.php as suggested and Bingo! it works brilliantly. just tried a new test member and I’m instant joined to all 3 of my groups!

Thanks so much for this. Just for clarity for others this is the code i used as per @modemlooper info above:

function automatic_group_membership( $user_id ) {
   if( !$user_id ) return false;
 
   groups_accept_invite( $user_id, $group_id );
}
add_action( 'bp_core_activated_user', 'automatic_group_membership' );

I have left the spacing exactly as he’d done, just in case… but maybe I could get rid of some of the extra spaces in it?

Cheers 🙂

Okay so I realised that it would only send the activity to stream when you have the email option checked. I also noticed that upon doing that you post 2 pieces of information into the database that are exactly the same.. Well they are not structured the same but the information holds the same data.

This is inside bp_groups_groupmeta and bp_activity
So I have optimized my code to remove duplicate data, well just removed it from posting into groupsmeta really, as it doesn’t need to be in there… Maybe you can optimize your code to post the action in activity only and read from there, rather than have it posted in both. The system is great, don’t get me wrong I am just making suggestions.

So I have removed one of your functions on remove action and copied it into my own function with edits to that function. I have added 2 extra fields, drop down boxs to be exact.

Here is my code with a lot of comments as I was trying out many different things, then decided I don’t want it to do that lol. EDIT

<?php
// Add custom group fields.
// Removed the default add activity stream. file /public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-activity.php for reference.

// On group update.
add_action( 'groups_details_updated', 'group_details_update', 10, 3 );
// Updated group details.
// Updated group details.
function group_details_update( $group_id, $old_group, $notify_members ) {
	global $bp, $wpdb;
	// Custom fields.
	$plain_fields = array(
		'server',
		'country'
		//'activity'
	);
	foreach( $plain_fields as $field ) {
		$key = 'group-' . $field;
		$metakey = 'h1z1_' . $field;
		if ( isset( $_POST[$key] ) ) {
			$value = $_POST[$key];
			
			// Do they want the update notification posted on their activity stream?
			/*if ($value == '1')
				$post_activity = true;
			*/
			//Make sure they selected an item from the required dropdown boxs.
			if ($value == 'null')
				return bp_core_add_message( __( 'There was an error updating group details. Please try again.', 'buddypress' ), 'error' );
			else {
				// changed1 is empty by default, not declared. If empty, get groupmeta.
				if (empty($changed))
					$changed = groups_get_groupmeta( $group_id, $metakey );
				//if groupmeta(old value) == posted value changed is empty again, so we can check the next custom field to see if that also has the same old value.
				if ($changed == $value)
					$changed = '';
				else
					groups_update_groupmeta( $group_id, $metakey, $value );
			}
 		}

	// You do not need the same information recorded twice in the database. This needs optimizing. Hence removing update groupmeta..

	return groups_record_activity( array(

	) );
}

If there is bugs in any code, I will find them and fix them.. That’s one of the downsides to being a perfectionist..

I have not fixed the

A few bugs I have found.

From the first post yet, but will be doing after I have had my dinner 🙂
My idea is to have a notification saying that the user has left the group when they leave/kicked/banned/ obviously if its after the 5 minutes mark lol.

Sorry about the lack of information. See the updated information:

We are currently hosting on Amazon’s cloud running Amazon Web Services. Our PhP version is 5.4.31. Using the latest version of the Sweet Date theme. We have four major plugins installed. BuddyPress 2.2.0., bbPress 2.5.4, s2Member Framework Version 150203 + s2Member Pro v150203 and Event Espresso 4.6.6.p. The other plugin do not control permissions,groups our user classifications.

We are not sure exactly when this problem occurred because we were not using the friend request feature. However we did test this successfully in the past but are not sure of the plugin versions.

The changes we recently made were the following:
We had Buddy Press, s2Member and Event Espresso installed with the latest versions. We then installed latest version of bbPress. We created users groups and assigned the appropriate permission of user to subscribe and receive invites to join the group. We learned that members can not join a group unless they are friends with an individual already in a particular group.

When we send a friend request to a user that person receives the request. They are able to see the notification in their profile under Friends-Pending Request. At this point everything looks good. The user can see the requester image and can the ability to clink Accept Button or Reject Button. When either of the buttons are clicked nothing happens. We waited for exactly 2 minutes and just refreshed the page. We get the same actions if the Reject Button is selected also. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Actually no, thats not it, there is no option for that in buddypress, I need to hide the buttons notifications and settings (that are along with profile, messages groupes etc.)
it’s in the front office.

thanks a lot

PS : someone posted this, I think it’s on the right track but it doesn’t work :/
[ edited – please use ‘code’ button when posting code ]
Try this in bp-custom.php

function fanmusic_remove_profile_nav_remove( $nav ) { 
        
     $nav = '';
                
     return $nav;
}
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_notifications', 'fanmusic_remove_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );
add_filter('bp_get_displayed_user_nav_settings', 'fanmusic_remove_profile_nav_remove', 10, 1 );

@danbp
I have edited the code a bit and now it is getting displayed on all the pages as I wanted but, How can I hide the modified title when the notification count is 0. By current code is below –

function bpfr_add_notification_to_page_title( $title, $original_title, $sep, $seplocation  ) {
	global $bp;
	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }

	if (bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count( $user_id ) ) {

		$counter = 0;
			for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) {
				echo $notifications[$i];
			$counter++;
			}	

	
		
			$title = "You Have " . bp_notifications_get_unread_notification_count() . " New Notification(s) - ";
    
		return $title;
	}
}
add_filter( 'wp_title', 'bpfr_add_notification_to_page_title', 9, 4 );

Thanks
