Thanks!!!

Didn`t find that code so I added this one:

   
<style type="text/css">
.field_offer-approval{
display:none;
}
</style>

And it worked 🙂

Is there also an option that I can say only admins or moderators can edit a field?

Well I found all the options in the default theme … the one we bought doesn`t have some options.

The only option I need to find is:
1. Registration page
At our registration page, I wan`t a simple option agree or disagree.
If I make that option in the profile on (basic) it is visible on the registration page but also when you edit you own profile. So how can I hide it on the profile page?

pls reply

we have a number of add ons. We can specify them pretty tightly over the course of coming weekss as they arise. So bearing that in mind both questions apply Shane.

Great! Thanks for clearing this up.

Hi David,

Hoping I’ll be able to help. I’ve seen alot of questions on the topic of How To Change and Reorder BuddyPress Group tabs and not much great direction. Hopefully you won’t be saying that after my posts… What I’m really hoping is someone comes in with a simpler, more elegant solution 🙂

Were you able to control the standard tabs?

For the standard group tabs, you can control them directly like this:

if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) 
{
        $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['position'] = 10;
        $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['members']['position'] = 60;
        $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['notifications']['position'] = 110;
}

So the code to put in functions.php might look like this:

function whff_setup_nav() 
{

  if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) 
  {
     $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['position'] = 10;
     $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['members']['position'] = 60;
     $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['notifications']['position'] = 110;
}

} 
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'whff_setup_nav', 100000 );

CUSTOM BUDDYPRESS GROUP TABS
Now, the non-standard tabs are the tricky ones. You can’t access them through $bp->bp_options_nav (at least I couldn’t figure out how to do this.)

Nonstandard Group tabs through the $wp_filter global. A good starting point is to dump the $wp_filter variable and get a look at it’s guts. Add this code in functions.php:

global $wp_filter;
    
foreach ( (array)$wp_filter as $key => $value ) 
{
   echo '<pre>';
   echo '<strong>' . $key . ': </strong><br />';
   print_r( $value );
   echo '</pre>';
}

$wp_filter is a bunch of nested arrays. Search through the output for your Group Tab Names (i.e. search for “Calendar”) and you will find something like this:

[00000000746c6153000000004e38ec1f_register] => Array
                (
                    [function] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => BP_Group_Calendar_Extension Object
                                (
                                    [visibility] => private
                                    [enable_create_step] => 
                                    [enable_nav_item] => 1
                                    [enable_edit_item] => 
                                    [name] => Calendar
                                    [slug] => calendar
                                    [admin_name] => 
                                    [admin_slug] => 
                                    [create_name] => 
                                    [create_slug] => 
                                    [create_step_position] => 81
                                    [nav_item_position] => 40
                                    [nav_item_name] => 
                                    [display_hook] => groups_custom_group_boxes
                                    [template_file] => groups/single/plugins
                                )

                            [1] => _register
                        )

                    [accepted_args] => 1
                )

That’s your Group tab and all the hooks you need to change attributes (in this case it’s the tab that says “Calendar”.)

But… unfortunately you can’t use the [00000000746c6153000000004e38ec1f_register] as a handle — that string is random and changes every time. But, now you know the class name is BP_Group_Calendar_Extension Object and you can search for that in the $wp_filter array and make the changes.

Hope this gets you closer, let me know how you make out. Cheers David!

I think the problem I’m having is related to Ajax. It looks (to my newbie eyes) like the buddypress ajax request is not working for some reason.

In Firebug I see this on the site that has the problem:

ajaxurl
	"https://conflictcomms.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	null

But on my other site where it appears to work correctly I see this:

ajaxurl
	"http://olihaslam.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"
	
bp_ajax_request
	Object { readyState=4, responseText="\n\n\n <div id="pag-top" c... \n </div>\n\n </div>\n\n\n", status=200, more...}

I don’t know where to start with Ajax issues. Suggestions on where I should start learning more about this would be very kind.

Newbie questions:
Is Ajax be affected by my site being on https and not yet having ssl certificate set up?
Could Ajax be interrupted by s2member?

I’d be grateful of any pointers or advice.

Thanks

Thanks for ur reply Hugo!

Yes he is done with the development but if I wanna add Buddypress forum after he is done it’s not his job anymore or I mean free job. I was using tal.ki forums and he installed it later I decided to move to a better forum like BuddyPress that’s why now it’s my duty to do the work. I have asked him for help about this but it’s taking too long for him to reply now and I can’t always wait him to reply for each issue I face that’s why I have to try to solve them on my own.

And yes I don’t have a good knowledge about CSS or javascrip or other programs but I have some knowledge that may help me to solve the problems I face that’s why the only way for me is to ask my questions here and if you need any more details I am ready

ty

Thanks for ur reply John!

Sounds like your theme has javascript errors in it somewhere. You’ll want to track them down and eliminate them.

Your questions so far have given me the impression that you’re quite new to WordPress web development (modifying plugin files, not knowing how to debug javascript, etc…) If this is the case, you’ll have a better experience by searching the web for similar problems, and solving some of these issues on your own.

That’s true, I have hired a web developer to design my website and he is done now with developing the website and now I found some problems I am trying to fix them on my own that’s why I am asking too many questions these days.

Also, words like “Help!” or “URGENT” don’t actually make anyone help you sooner than anyone else around here. Most volunteers will jump in and help who they can, when they can, — if you appear manic, it decreases the investment someone is willing to make in you, your site, and your topic.

Hoping to not sound discouraging. We’re excited you’re using BuddyPress, and want you to enjoy our community to its fullest.

No I understand you, I am already an admin on a big forum which has around 27K members and alexa rank around 35K and veryday I face members who ask questions like this ( like me 😀 ) and I know it won’t help but the previous question when I said urgent I was really afraid that all the data in the website has been lost because I didn’t have backup since around 2 days and I added so much stuff int the past couple of days and in this question I just was mentioning it’s a question by saying “Help!” and nothing more

Thanks again!

I mean in the WP admin area and I see it in the dashboard

and about the pic I have asked a question yesterday about re sizing the pic size in the forum https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-to-resize-memebrs-images-sizes/

idk what’s going on with me and why nothing is working

and about the weird characters also they are available almost in all the pages like the contact us for example it ends with #.Ue-C0PnI1FM I thought that it’s normal but I will check this out with the developer if he solve it

– Let’s test. Create a new Page named Discussions and place the forums shortcode there. Go to Settings > Forums and change archive slug to discussions. Then go to technowldgic.com/discussions/ and check out your forums

I tried this and after saving the setting the forum page became 404 error page and also I am seeing this error near the box where I wrote discussions “Possible bbPress conflict: Topics base” so I removed it and wrote forums and topics again in the archive slugs

Going back to logging in. I added the bbPress login widget to the sidebar of Twenty Twelve theme and it’s working fine even with BuddyPress activated. What are you using for your users to log in?

I don’t think I am using anything, I thought everything would come with the buddypress plugin like the log in area and everything else. what should I use?

and I am so sorry for asking too many questions and having too many problems but idk why I am so lost by installing the forum

and ty so much for ur help

I want to thank you so much for your assistance in this matter.

You don’t know how much it means to me to have you pointing out that the first link is what matters in my case.

I’ll look into the child theme compatibility issue and making of the buddypress.php. Could you assist in providing the code to tag the_content and the_title in this file?

Lastly, is this all that I need to do? I guess in your own way you’ve answered my Questions 1 and 2. But how about No.3? Do I have to copy files from:

/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/
To:
/my-theme/community/ or /my-theme/buddypress/

as stated in your article?

I apologise for taking up your time in this matter and I cannot thank you enough for your kind assistance. Please forgive my newbie questions; I’m trying really hard to understand this and get it to work.

cheers

I’ve tried changing it to Twenty Twelve and I can see the BP pages. So, it’s definitely an issue with my theme.

Ok, after reading and rereading the codex, these are the questions in my head:
1. Am I supposed to create a child theme?
If yes, is the child theme directory supposed to read /parenttheme-child/ or /buddypress/ ?

2. you mentioned about these list of templates:
– plugin-buddypress.php
– buddypress.php
– community.php
– generic.php
– page.php
– single.php
– index.php

I gather from the article that BP will use JUST 1 of this. Did I understand this correctly?
If yes, am I supposed to copy one of these files into the child theme directory?
If I’m not supposed to create a child theme, which sub-directory should this file be found in my theme directory?

For my case, I have none of the above files in my theme’s directory. The closest I have is mytheme/includes/news-single.php. Is this supposed to be the directory that this file should be found? Am I supposed to rename this file? Or am I supposed to rename and copy this file into the child theme directory? Or am I supposed to create a new php file altogether for my case? And, if so, how do I go about doing it?

3. You mentioned in your article that Template compatibility also runs a check to see if two directories or folders exist in a theme:
‘buddypress’
‘community’

I’ve checked and they don’t exist in my theme directory. Can I safely conclude that BP will use the files in the plugin and that I won’t need to create these folders in my theme? Or do I need to create them in my theme or child theme?

While still on this, you mentioned in your article:

“Therefore, you can modify any bp theme compatibility template by copying it over from:
/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/
To:
/my-theme/community/ or /my-theme/buddypress/”

Am I supposed to create either community or buddy press and copy the files I found in the BP plugin /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/ into them? And if I’m supposed to create a child theme, am I supposed to create these in the child theme instead and copy these into them? Or should I do nothing at all?

Please advise and assist me in this; I’m really very confused. Or if it’s in any way possible, could you list down the steps that I’m supposed to take?

Thanks.
