BuddyPress.org

functions.php ?

Oh Sorry, I understand that the link is not used.

So this:

(a) href = “/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = ” target = “_blank”> send message (a)

Hallo @talha8877

Excuse me, my English is not so good, unfortunately.

I used the plugin Cartpauj PM Plugin from Mingle, as I have found as yet no viable solution to the buttons (message etc) of the BuddyPress insertion into posts / Articels.

So now I turn off the message part of BuddyPress and linking all the Cartpauj PM, which works wonderfully, except out of BuddyPress. There does not work.

Of Cartpauj in single.php just the link:

<a href = "/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = “> Send

. put But as I said, the link works in BuddyPress indeed, but does not with the member users, which I will write. Since I’m still looking for a solution. Evtentuell with: bp user id, funktioiert might not.

So who has a solution to integrate Cartpauj PM in buddybress, bring it on.

That´s it

Thank you

Hi @strangerrj,
How do you generate the /the_messaging_page/ part in php?

@chouf1,
I used it just like that inside the template but it didn’t return anything. But if I only use an action hook like
`add_action( ‘the_content’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’, 5 );`
Then the same button appears in all the posts. First I thought this worked but when I clicked the button all the buttons in all the posts became ‘cancel friendship request’

Hello, I received the solution from houseofstrauss: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-the-user-id-for-pm-plugin?replies=2

Thanx @houseofstrauss

Is it also possible to integrate in buddypress the member header? The link work, but he does not detect the user from buddypress, the user I want to mail.

And is it possible in the same window e.g. in Thickbox to open Colorbox or Lightbox?

this link is:

a href=”the_messaging_page/?pmaction=newmessage&to=<?php the_author_ID(); PM me

the_author_ID is not correctly for Buddypress.

Thanx Greetings R.

Looking to do something similar, but I’m using the buddypress follow me plugin. I would like to display the “follow” button on my childsite’s sidebar.

By default, add as friend works only on the profile template or on the member template. So if you want to add this button into a post or in the post meta, it won’t work, i believe.
You should call the good template part first and probably need to add the appropriate action hook, yes.

Did you use the statement if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) ) before `bp_add_friend_button ?
`

Hi Chouf,

Thanks for the response. Although I’m having hard time connecting the dots.
I’d already used
`bp_add_friend_button( $user_ids[‘users’][$i]->id ) ?>`

directly in my code but it didn’t return any results.
Do I need to use an action hook to display it in posts?

hi @talha8877,

i think the answer is in bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php:145

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/action-reference/friends/

Hi!

I’m wondering if anybody figured out how to add a template tag for Add Friend button?

Cheers

Hello Henry, my Englisch is not so good. Sorry.

I do have 2 Problems, maybe you can help me: 1. send private message and 2. send public message doesn’t work but not like on the buddypress page itself. If for example click the private message, the message page opens without the address User name field, but it appears only an mempty field. Where is the mistake? And this could be handled and dissolve in an jquery colorbox or fancybox manner?

Thanks R.

There was a bug with bp-default theme shipped with bp 1.6+ and any theme which is based on bp-default or copies functions from it has the same bug.

Here is a way to fix that.

First look for this code(or similar) in your themes functions.php

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',           5 );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) )
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_public_message_button',  20 );

// Messages button
if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) )
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_private_message_button', 20 );

and change this line

if(!is_admin()){

to this

if ( !is_admin()||(is_admin()&&defined('DOING_AJAX')) ) {

and it will work.

Hi .. I think I am having the same problem

I am running Buddypress 1.6 and WordPress 3.4.1

I am finding the Add Friend feature is not working and the reply to message functionality (when I try and reply to a message it isn’t working.)

When I click on Add friend it just appears to remove the button and the friend pending button doesn’t appear and it doesn’t active the friend request

When I try and reply to a message I type in the message and click on the send reply and it just clears the message window.

I am not sure how to uninstall/remove the CDN version of jQuery. Can you please point to some instructions on how to do this?

I’m having a similar problem. I’m running BP 1.6 on WP 3.4.1 network.

I can write new PMs to any member and it all works great, but when I hit ‘Send Reply’ button the text box empties itself out and the reply is never actually sent as a message.

I used Firebug and discovered that the POST data is all there, but the AJAX/jQuery isn’t doing it’s job. Here’s why I see in the Firebug console:

`POST http://bannedatheists.us/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`

which is supposed to be handled by `http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js?ver=3.4.1`

Moreover, I just noticed that the jQuery ‘Friend’ buttons aren’t working, either… URG! I’ve been disabling plugins like a madman but so far nada. HELP!

If you are using the bp-default theme —

All you have to do is login, visit someone’s profile, and the send message buttons are there

bp_member_add_friend_button() you would find that by looking in the bp-friends-tamplate.php and to find it was in that file meant looking at the members loop to see how the action buttons are handled and tracing the do_action handle back to that template file you’ll then realise ‘bp_member_add_friend_button()’ echoes bp_get_add_friend_button() with passed args so you then need to trace that function to see further how the friends button works.

In the profile we trace back to functions.php and find ‘bp_add_friend_button()’ that traces to various files, bp-friends-template.php the one of interest again.

Looks like JS hiding all the buttons from this test user – though I can see all those links in source.

== ‘cancel friendship’ & ‘private message’ buttons overlap each other ==

1. If you want volunteers to actually check out the issue, please provide test user username and password which you can delete later.

2. What happened to the ‘public message’ button which in bp-default theme shows up between ‘cancel friendship’ and ‘private message’ buttons?

3. In all probability, you would just need to add styles in your theme’s style.css file. something like:
`#item-buttons a { margin-right: 15px; }`
The above will work in bp-default theme. No guarantees this will work on your theme.

== it looks so rubbish in IE. ==
Yup, IE < 9 is bane of designer/developer There are still at least 2 solutions as I pointed to above if you want to pursue the buttons later.

== But please is there a way to wrap the Edit Profile link which is in the item-header so that it shows on your own profile alone and not when viewing others profile. instead of hiding it under private message button. ==

Saw your new topic and answered you there https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-make-a-link-show-on-your-profile-alone/

There can only be normally one background image per element in CSS2 so when you add the icon, it will override the gradient background created in parent theme. You could add extra bg-img using pseudo-elements but that’s good for modern browsers and IE8+ only.

You can use multiple background images for one element with CSS3 compatible with most modern browsers incl. IE9 above. But if you have users who use IE8 below, it will note show up at all.

One solution for cross-browser compatibility down to IE7 is to create an image with the icon and the gradient background, e.g. activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png, together and hook that to the link:
`div#item-header #send-private-message a {
background: transparent url(_inc/images/activity-time-since-with-gradient-background.png) left center no-repeat !important;
padding-left: 25px;
}`
Of course your image name won’t be that long.

The other solution is this: http://www.norestfortheweekend.com/2011/02/26/css3-gradients-multiple-backgrounds-and-ie7/ This is more involved but a great learning experience if you have the time.
