BuddyPress.org

i ended up getting it to work, using the following code: http://pastebin.com/HjnNNZwV

so, i’m trying to create an additional nav option and so far i’m not having much luck. i want it to direct to the user’s profile (the same way that clicking on their name once logged in does) and am not having any luck.

this is my current code: http://pastebin.com/x9mTNYA8

i’ve tried quite a few different bits of code in the second php echo, with no luck… could anybody help me out with what the correct code would be?

any idea why this won’t work?: http://pastebin.com/ehLS0CyN

and once again… i was able to change the titles of nav options by editing bp-themes/bp-default/header.php in the appropriate locations. thanks anyway everybody!

i really need to look into things a bit further before i post here ._.

i managed to remove “all members” from activity by removing line 22 of bp-themes/bp-default/activity/index.php (http://pastebin.com/E8yQh0CW)

now just to figure out the activity tab on the main nav…

sorry to keep reviving this thread, just some more stuff i need help with;

i’d like to remove the “all members” link from activity, so users can only view their friends’ activities and not the activities of the entire site.
i’d also like to rename the ‘activity’ tab on the main nav to ‘home’ and change the ‘home’ tab to ‘news’.

thanks heaps pcwriter, that’s exactly what i was after!

thanks heaps. can’t believe the “base” name was such an easy fix – here i was logging into phpmyadmin and manually editing mysql databases when it was right under my nose!

as far as the activity stream goes, i still want the latest blog posts to be the homepage, but when a user logs in, i want it to take them to their own activity stream – the same as clicking on ‘activity’ would do once they’re logged in.

will look into the options for locking people out, thanks once again!

After editing profile-loop.php i also managed to make it display the heading for all profile field groups, including the default.

And after much stuffing around, I finally managed to go and manually change the MySQL entry of “Base” to “Basic Info”. Still not sure how to make the title of it display on the profile page though.

So, I found “Custom Profile Filters for BuddyPress” which enables me to disable links in profiles – still need some help on the other questions though!

I’m not sure why bp_get_group_id() wasn’t working in the above function, but this works instead: $bp->groups->current_group->id

That still leaves these questions:
1. Is there a simpler way to add an external link to the Group Subnav menu than the code above?
2. Can you pass variables into the “screen_function” that the nav calls?

Thank you r-a-y. I have some other questions too, so I’ll just post them here:

• I’d like to move the login to my admin bar, I have come about halfway. Which part of the (Default?) css is it that I should
alter to make it fit into the admin bar?

• I wanna make a frontpage displaying the latest posts in a specific category with Css-styled RSS output, how do I go about that?

• There seems to be a very bad update frequency for the notifications in the admin bar. For example: If I get a new notif saying
“You have a new message from…” that notif stays like that for some time if nothing new happens, it doesn’t go away even if I read
the mess. So basically I’d like to change the alert-time for notification.

I have created an excel parser/loader, that enables a user to import data directly into the table they want to from excel….as long as a user customizes the code-fragment depending on the fields present in the table, it is good to go…Will try to frame this into a plugin after 21st of this month…trying to get my site live by 21st…

re#4 (extra items in group header)
what i meant was : lets say I want to add “description2”, “description3”, “description4” besides the default “description”, and I want all of them appear on the group header page….now, I have modified the table structure so that it now has few more fields, i.e. “desc2”, “desc3” and “desc4”.
Here are my follow-up questions on this:
a. would it be a bad idea to do this way…i mean i have done it hoping that whenever buddypress is updated, my database will be left untouched…wouldn’t it?
b. I tried creating the functions for fetching desc2 etc based on function bp_group_description() in the bp-groups-templatetags.php, and calling it finally in group-header.php, but it does not work….am i doing something wrong??

Now this may be asking a lot but could you tell me what possibly could be going wrong here, or may be show be how this should be done, assuming a person has to
“fetch the details of a field XYZ in the table bp_groups”
OR
in case altering with the table bp_groups is a bad idea, I could create a second meta-table with my parameters that has the group_id of the group whom the values of these fields correspond to….but in this case also, how do i fetch the results?

@r-a-y
Thanks. I did have a look at the auto group join plugin. I have a few follow-up questions though. As I saw on buddypress itself, it did not need me to “join” any group anywhere… The moment I posted on any group, I became a part of it…That would also serve the purpose to a large extent…
from the extra sections in the user’s profile section i meant -> there are some extra features that i am providing in my website…things that I have hard coded…I wanted to hard code them into the user’s profiles…

about everything else, i will do the needful and get back if there are further doubts…Thanks a lot…
and thanks about the plugin by manoj…i will have a look…and if i can code the plugin, I will share it here….

ray: it looks like you are the author of username plugin, I have some questions for you about your code, can I ask?

I don’t think I’d trust myself with command line stuff, lol. I’ll try some things and see what happens. Thanks for the assistance guys.
