BuddyPress.org

I tried to create a shortcode to show the join/leave button using the buddypress-functions but can’t make it to work… 🙁
What am I doing wrong?

I would like a shortcode like this :

[groupbutton name=”party1″]

I tried with this code for a join button only at first:

add_shortcode( 'groupbutton', 'groupbutton_check_shortcode' );

function groupbutton_check_shortcode( $attr ) {

	extract( shortcode_atts( array( 'name' => 'read' ), $attr ) );

	$current_group_id = BP_Groups_Group::get_id_from_slug($name);
	$group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $current_group_id ) );     
		if(bp_loggedin_user_id()) {
			if( 'public' == $group->status ) {
				echo '<a id="group-' . esc_attr( $current_group_id ) . '" class="join-group" rel="join" title="' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '" href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_get_group_permalink( $group ) . 'join', 'groups_join_group' ) . '">' . __( 'Join Group', 'buddypress' ) . '</a>';
			}
		}
}

I am not a developer at all so I dont understand everything but I am trying… :/
Cant figure what I am doing wrong… and why it does not display anything at all.

Thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english 🙂

PS: I would like to use all cases of buttons like here on the buddypress-functions.php:

function bp_legacy_theme_ajax_joinleave_group() {
	// Bail if not a POST action
	if ( 'POST' !== strtoupper( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) )
		return;

	// Cast gid as integer
	$group_id = (int) $_POST['gid'];

	if ( groups_is_user_banned( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group_id ) )
		return;

	if ( ! $group = groups_get_group( array( 'group_id' => $group_id ) ) )
		return;

	if ( ! groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $group->id ) ) {
		if ( 'public' == $group->status ) {
			check_ajax_referer( 'groups_join_group' );

			}

		} elseif ( 'private' == $group->status ) {

			// If the user has already been invited, then this is
			// an Accept Invitation button

			} else {
				check_ajax_referer( 'groups_request_membership' );

Hi Seth!

Interesting, I didn’t know that you had a BP integration in place for EE. With which BP version was it compatible?

I know that the BP core developers have their hands full of work, so I won’t blame them for not taking on a complete events module in the core.

For me the question now is, which plugin takes the least effort to extend on our own. And yes, I know about your crowdfunding like offer to fund extensions to EE. But I need to meet certain deadlines and I don’t think you can guarentee a certain development until then.

BTW, isn’t the “I’ll attend’ and ‘Maybe’ a pretty simple code addition? A user presses a button which captures that users user id and writes it into a custom field of the event page. The plugin then fetches those ids and shows avatars of those people who attend.

I found an interesting tutorial (http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2012/01/27/limiting-visibility-posts-username/) which might lead the way for my other request, specific event visibility/privacy:

1. Only friends of events creator (again, write all the user ids of the event creator into a custom field thats not visible/accessible to users and then restrict visibility of event page to those users)

2. Only invited (would require more work. First have a way to notify other users of the event by private message or BP notification. Write the user ids of those into yet another custom field, rest see above)

I am pretty much a PHP noob. But are these things really so hard to do? More than a week of work for an experienced BP developer?

OK I’ll try the workarounds.

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

Ahh yes. seems to appear every time with default template. I will go to the theme support forum and ask there. Thanks.

Thank you very much for the reply, and I understand.

On the other hand I have seen that also can send public messages, but I can not display the button to send them, just see the private message when I activate the option.

thank you.

Thank you for your time and attention, please let me know if I could’ve done this better.

Sorry I didn’t include the code for that. Yes, it is in the wp functions.php file, but it is relevant to bp theme. Here is the full function that line 100 is found in. Line 100 is the third to last, which starts with “add action”.

/**

 *
 * Note that this function is hooked into the after_setup_theme hook, which runs
 * before the init hook. The init hook is too late for some features, such as indicating

 *
 * To override bp_dtheme_setup() in a child theme, add your own bp_dtheme_setup to your child theme's
 * functions.php file.

In the first install the failed bp had been installed and working for a few days. It suddenly gave errors when I edited a css color code on line 1211 in this file and uploaded it to the server by ftp. Yeah, I know you might say I made a mistake, but I know I did it correctly. And they you might say the file got corrupted in transfer, except that the second install on godaddy had no such changes or transfers and in short order – less than an hour of use with no other plugins or style changes – gave the same final error for line 100 when I changed my public name in the buddypress members listing, at which point neither the front nor back ends were accessible.

Looking forward to your insights.

That process seems beyond me and very long (and I cannot find the /plugins/buddypress/bp-languages folder) I just want to change the “Private Message” button label. Can I access/change it quickly like this:
1. access buddypress/bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php
2. change the ‘link text’ to the new label name in this block of code?

function bp_get_send_message_button() {
// Note: ‘bp_get_send_message_button’ is a legacy filter. Use
// ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’ instead. See #4536
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button’,
bp_get_button( apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_message_button_args’, array(
‘id’ => ‘private_message’,
‘component’ => ‘messages’,
‘must_be_logged_in’ => true,
‘block_self’ => true,
‘wrapper_id’ => ‘send-private-message’,
‘link_href’ => bp_get_send_private_message_link(),
‘link_title’ => __( ‘Send a private message to this user.’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_text’ => __( ‘Private Message’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘link_class’ => ‘send-message’,
) ) )

I already have the following in my custom BP functions file:

if(bp_is_active('friends'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_add_friend_button');

	if(bp_is_active('activity') && bp_activity_do_mentions())
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_public_message_button');

	if(bp_is_active('messages'))
		add_action('bp_member_header_actions', 'bp_send_private_message_button');

	// Group Buttons
	
	if(bp_is_active('groups')) {
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
		add_action('bp_group_header_actions', 'bp_group_new_topic_button');
		add_action('bp_directory_groups_actions', 'bp_group_join_button');
	}

As I say these buttons displayed in the theme in v1.7.3, they only disappear in v1.8. I think you’re right of course, it looks like a theme issue, I just cannot figure out what changed in v1.8 to stop these buttons working in my theme.

Nobody else has had the same issue? Lets try a different tact. Has there been any changes made to private message, add friend and public message buttons in 1.8?

@bphelp Thank for your reply. my question is simple. i need to show member header item which include (add friend, send private message etc). which are not showing when user are not login. i need to remove login to see header item button condition . any way to do this.
