BuddyPress.org

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.

Hi Modemlooper-

My theme is a child theme of Twenty Twelve, so my style.css declares Template: twentytwelve.

I followed your suggestion then took it a step farther and included slightly modified version of the js setup functions from the template pack in my `functions.php` file. I’ll post them here in case somebody else has the same problem I’m having:

`function bp_support_theme_setup() {
global $bp;

// Load the default BuddyPress AJAX functions if it isn’t explicitly disabled or if it isn’t already included in a custom theme
if ( ! function_exists( ‘bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring’ ) )
require_once( BP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php’ );

// Let’s tell BP that we support it!
add_theme_support( ‘buddypress’ );

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
// Friends button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’ );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘activity’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_member_header_actions’, ‘bp_send_public_message_button’ );

// Messages 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’ );
}

// Blog button
if ( bp_is_active( ‘blogs’ ) )
add_action( ‘bp_directory_blogs_actions’, ‘bp_blogs_visit_blog_button’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘bp_support_theme_setup’, 11 );

/**
* Enqueues BuddyPress JS and related AJAX functions
*
* @since 1.2
*/
function bp_support_enqueue_scripts() {

// Add words that we need to use in JS to the end of the page so they can be translated and still used.
$params = array(
‘my_favs’ => __( ‘My Favorites’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘accepted’ => __( ‘Accepted’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘rejected’ => __( ‘Rejected’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all_comments’ => __( ‘Show all comments for this thread’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘show_all’ => __( ‘Show all’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘comments’ => __( ‘comments’, ‘buddypress’ ),
‘close’ => __( ‘Close’, ‘buddypress’ )
);

// BP 1.5+
if ( version_compare( BP_VERSION, ‘1.3’, ‘>’ ) ) {
// Bump this when changes are made to bust cache
$version = ‘20120412’;

$params[‘view’] = __( ‘View’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘mark_as_fav’] = __( ‘Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
$params[‘remove_fav’] = __( ‘Remove Favorite’, ‘buddypress’ );
}
// BP 1.2.x
else {
$version = ‘20110729’;

if ( bp_displayed_user_id() )
$params[‘mention_explain’] = sprintf( __( “%s is a unique identifier for %s that you can type into any message on this site. %s will be sent a notification and a link to your message any time you use it.”, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘@’ . bp_get_displayed_user_username(), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ), bp_get_user_firstname( bp_get_displayed_user_fullname() ) );
}

// Enqueue the global JS – Ajax will not work without it
wp_enqueue_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), $version );

// Localize the JS strings
wp_localize_script( ‘dtheme-ajax-js’, ‘BP_DTheme’, $params );
}
add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘bp_support_enqueue_scripts’ );
`

Which is identical to installing the template pack only for the JS, I think. Everything’s working as expected, so I think we can consider this problem resolved. Thanks for your attention, Hugo and Modemlooper.

I mean file which says: Mention this user in a new public message, this will send the user a notification to get their attention.
