BuddyPress.org

Thank you for your answers! Looks like that I did not describe clear what is my problem, because what I tried from you suggestions it did not work.

There is the code that I’m using to generate “Give a point” button”

function one_star_points() {
	if ( ! function_exists( 'mycred' ) ) return;
	$current_id = get_current_user_id();
	$profile_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	if ( $current_id == $profile_id ) return;
	echo '<div class="award-star-rating-img">';
	echo do_shortcode( '[mycred_send to="' . $profile_id . '" amount="1" ref="tip" log="Tipping"]Give a point[/mycred_send]' );
	echo '</div>';
}
add_action( 'one_star_points_button', 'one_star_points' );

To give points in user profile I used $profile_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
To give points in forum I used $profile_user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id();

But i bumped into a problem when I want to give points to user in activity stream. I placed the button near every activity stream entry, so the user could give a point if the like what other user posted in activity stream. I used this code $profile_video_id = bp_get_activity_user_id(); There is no error or warning, but it’s not working, not giving points.

Also I would like to give a point if I like private message answer that other user send me. I used this $profile_message_id = bp_get_the_thread_message_sender_id() ;, but it says that “Missing the recipient for this shortcode.”.

Looks like that in the last two cases (activity stream and messages) something is wrong with indicating user id.
Any recommendations on this? I have tried many functions, but still can’t grab user ID in those last two..

I’ve found by myself 🙂

To send HTML private message, you must add :
[
edited – Please use the ‘code’ button when you post code.
Please note that removing that filter creates a major security risk.
It means user input WILL NOT BE SANITIZED.
So some very bad things can happen to your database.
]
remove_filter( 'messages_message_content_before_save', 'wp_filter_kses', 1);

To the bp-custom.php file.

I hope it will helps !

Thanks Henry. Will download the plugin and see if it works with some other customisations I got. It might not so that is why I am looking at doing this filter thing similar to this code I am trying to get to work.

function override_button() {
return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_private_message_link’, wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/compose/test/?r=’ . bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ) );

}
add_filter(‘bp_get_send_private_message_link’,’override_button’);

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'] ) )

	// 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 ) ) {

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.

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”.

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.
