BuddyPress.org

Hi,

I managed to find how to suspend users within buddypress.

It was under user profile (in admin area) and then “extended profile” (loosly translated from swedish). Then I can choose “spammer” and that account is then blocked.

So it was just hard to find. But seems to work 🙂

Hello,

I’m trying to create custom commenting on a buddypress install. I basically would like to have 2 levels of nested comments, and infinite replies without the indentation causing comments to be unreadable. I found this code, but I think it’s specific to WordPress comments, not buddypress:

How to Have Infinite Replies with WordPress Threaded Comments
WordPress doesn’t allow to have infinite replies beyond the maximum nested comment depth. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a “Reply” link for all threaded comments, regardless of the depth.

In this screenshot, I’ve set the nested comments level to three:

WordPress Nested Comments Three Levels Deep
WordPress Nested Comments Three Levels Deep
WordPress will nest comment replies to this depth and then stop showing the “Reply” link at the bottom of every comment, as shown here:

Because of this limitation, visitors can’t have an ongoing conversation on your site, thereby stifling debate. The code below fixes this problem.

Code for Infinite WordPress Replies
To solve the above problem, paste the following code into your theme’s functions.php file, or better yet, use a custom plugin for code insertion. Whichever way you choose, here’s the code you need:

// Add a custom reply link for infinite comments

function add_a_reply_link($comment) {
$temp = get_comment_id();
$comment_handle = get_comment($temp);
// $comment_handle = get_comment(get_comment_id());
$comment_link = get_comment_link($comment_handle);
$comment_id = get_comment_id();
$post_id = get_the_id();
$author = get_comment_author();

$comment= $comment . ‘<p>Reply</p>’;

return $comment;
}

add_filter(‘get_comment_text’, ‘add_a_reply_link’);

// Remove the default reply link

function remove_reply_link() {
return ”;
}
add_filter(‘comment_reply_link’, ‘remove_reply_link’)
