BuddyPress.org

Hi there!

I’ll be using BuddyPress to launch an online weather community site coming up. I have a few getting started questions I need to ask the BuddyPress community. The site will offer signup/registration, member profiles, direct messaging, a blog, and discussion groups for starters. Here’s the other questions I had:

1. Can we custom brand/theme the signup/login page for our BuddyPress site? I’d like to do something a little more than a generic WordPress signup/login page.

2. What’s the best way we could handle photo/video galleries on BuddyPress? Should we have a full-fledged photo gallery or just have people include photos in their blog posts/weather reports? For videos, I’ll likely have people publish to YouTube or Vimeo and embed in videos. Should we have a video galleries page people can embed in videos or just have those added to blog posts as well?

3. Is there a way to offer live chat in BuddyPress or a live chat WordPress plugin we could look into?

4. Since people from around the world will be sending in weather reports to the blog, I’d like to be able to display their location (not their current location using GPS but statically display what location they enter into their WordPress/BuddyPress profile) next to their name and blog title. This would help us to at-a-glance know where all weather reports are coming from. Is there a way to pull this off in WordPress/BuddyPress?

Thanks!

After searching a member, it give result of each members in a rectangular area with : picture, name and last time activity on website.
How can i add after the name an info coming from a registration field?

Very thanks for your help

I have created a phone number as Buddypress Profile field. I need to check that no two or more user accounts share the same phone number. My query below is not enforcing the restriction.

I need help to resolve this.

function bp_phone_number_validate() {
   global $bp;
   global $wpdb;

  // check if phone number is in use
  $result=$bp->get_var("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$bp->profile->wp_bp_xprofile_data} WHERE value = '{$_POST['field_2']}' GROUP BY id;");

  if($result > 0){
    $bp->signup->errors['field_2'] = __( 'Phone number is already in use.', 'buddypress' );
  }   
}
add_action( 'bp_signup_validate', 'bp_phone_number_validate');

im trying to set up a new site.
using learndash and also have the uncanny toolkit, also have buddypress installed, but when I create a registration page, it looks like its using buddy press registration.
added this plugin and have a login/logout page and a registration page:

Home

but when I register, get an email, click on the email confirmation, it takes me back to the website saying verified. but when i try to use the username and password I entered it didnt work? jut says Oops! Invalid username and/or password. I have tried this multiple times and all the same.

my main aim is to get someone to register when they want to take a course e.g. this course.

How to get promoted

any ideas on what I am doing wrong or missing?

hello support team,

I’m facing a problem after updating buddypress to 2.8.2. Once I submit any text into activity stream it shows the website in an IFRAME, see the screenshot below plz. Can provide login if that helps.

Screenshot: http://nimb.ws/ufhcbA

Also when I’m trying to upload an image into activity stream, or trying to upload an image in Groups avatar or cover photo or my individual cover photo, it says “An error occured. Please try again later”. It was working all fine 2 days ago & after the buddypress update it doesn’t seems to work.

I’m using:-

WP 4.7.3
BP 2.8.2
BBpress 2.5.12
rtMedia for WordPress, BuddyPress and bbPress 4.3.1
Gravity Forms 2.0.6.9 – For customized registration page
Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On 3.3.9 – For mapping user registration with WP & BP fields.

Please help!

Thanks,
Sidd

Hi!

This issue seems to be a popular one, but I’ve tried the solutions suggested in the previous posts (ranging from 3-1 year ago) such as:

deactivated all other plug-ins except for BP,

set the permaulnk to post-name

checked the “Anyone can register” box

made sure registration.php and activate.php exist in ../plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/

But still no luck 🙁

I’m using the latest versions:
– WordPress ver 4.7.3
– BuddyPress ver 2.8.2
– PHP 5.4

Thanks! Much appreciated!

I have buddypress installed but I have overidden the buddypress registration page. I prefer to use the default wordpress registration page because it is easier for me to not only create custom fields but apply data validation rules that suit my usecase (enforcing unique entries, regex format etc). I can not do this for the buddypress registration page.

How can I ensure that the wordpress user profile/account details (phone number etc) are displayed on the user’s buddypress profile page. I noticed that only the display name is shown by default. Can the user also control the visibility of this display? Any guidelines on how to achieve this shall be appreciated.

For unknown reason I suddenly started getting a page asking me for activation key every time after I register myself as a pretend new user and after clicking on the activation link in the email.

I read a post https://buddypress.org/support/topic/activation-code-after-new-member-registration/ with the same problem saying the activation key is in the email. I tried that so this is an example of the link,

http://localhost/wordpress/activate-3/zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh/

I tried zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh
activate-3/zhG7gX5p4mtAnSv91K1ePhgBO3V3laWh
and the entire url,
but none of them work.

In fact, the new user was never created because I checked the Users at admin backend, the new user was never there.

A participant in the post said BP Autologin on Activation plugin solved her this problem but I tried it and it did not work. I think my situation is different from other members in that post because their newly registered members was actually created but mine wasn’t.

I don’t know why this would happen because it never had this problem before.

My site is still localhosted, if that matters.

WP 4.7.3
BP 2.8.2

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Great plugin so far. I was just wondering is there any way to send the activation link via sms too? I have added the function in the bp-custom.php. Posting it here below:

			function send_sms($recipientno, $key) {
                        $ch = curl_init();

			$user="sms_user:sms_pass";

			$receipientno="1234567890";

			$senderID="ID";

			$msgtxt="Thanks for registering! Please use this link to complete registration: http://localhost/gcs/activate/".$key."/"; 

			curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,  "http://api.mVaayoo.com/mvaayooapi/MessageCompose");

			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "user=$user&senderID=$senderID&receipientno=$receipientno&msgtxt=$msgtxt");

			$buffer = curl_exec($ch);

			if(empty ($buffer))

			{ echo "<p style='display:none;'>buffer is empty</p>"; }

			else

			{ echo "<p style='display:none;'>".$buffer."</p>"; } 

			curl_close($ch);
}

I am calling it in the bp-members-function.php

		if ( apply_filters( 'bp_core_signup_send_activation_key', true, $user_id, $user_email, $activation_key, $usermeta ) ) {
			bp_core_signup_send_validation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $activation_key, $user_login ); 
			send_sms($recipientno, $activation_key);
		}

It is not sending the sms though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
David

Hello,

I am looking for a way to get users register not only in the main site but also to choose the subsites they join. I thaught maybe with the Xprofiles fields but this should need customization.
Is there a way?

I havejoin my multisite but it does not allow registration on multiple sites on registration.

Thanks in advance!
