BuddyPress.org

Hi @monetek-

Your best bet for support for Buddyforms is to talk to the developers directly. https://themekraft.com/buddyforms/

Please use the code button when sharing code.

This is the relevant file:
\buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

Some themes bundle their own version of BP files.

To find out if you’re in the correct file, try:

echo 'testing...<br>';
$test = bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=la-empresa' );
var_dump( $test );

If you don’t see ‘testing…’, you’re in the wrong file.
If you do, but don’t see the profile data, then there is an issue with that field or perhaps the value does not exist.

Looking at the source code, both items make a call to the function bp_is_active(). For profile cover images, the check is
if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile', 'cover_image' ) ) {)

For groups, if ( bp_is_active( 'groups', 'cover_image' ) ) {}.

In both cases, the default is true, so I’d guess that your theme or another plugin is filtering that value, using one of these filter hooks:
bp_is_profile_cover_image_active
bp_is_groups_cover_image_active
bp_is_active

You can quickly check by using something standard like twentythirteen as your theme and deactivating all plugins other than BuddyPress.

BP is free to use as you wish.
As to whether you may run into issues, you might, you might not.
There is a staggering number of themes and plugins in the WP world.
There is no way for BP to account for all the possible combinations.
Nor it is reasonable for people to expect these forums ( run by volunteers ) to solve or even respond to any and all issues that may arise.

BuddyPress is used by many businesses as part of their offerings.
The larger and / or more complex the business, the greater the need for a technical support budget.

I need to exclude Author role from my BP members loop. The authors will all go into a different Directory system with different profile template and no BP functionality, just wordpress blogging capabilities.

Does anyone have some code I can pop into the functions.php of my child theme?

thanks!

If you haven’t already, create a child theme.

Then copy your buddypress/template folder & subfolders over to your child theme.

Go through each file, search for instances of the word “FRIENDS,” and replace it with “CONNECTIONS.”

If you can’t find all instances of the word “FRIENDS” in these files, check your buddypress.po file and use Poedit to hack it out of there too.

Or, you can pay a developer thousands of dollars to make a plugin do it for you 🙂

@kristianngve
No it isn’t missing vital info, the clarification is directly after the instruction on naming convention for the BP folders in a child theme.

N.B. Inside the subfolder ‘community’ you must preserve the path structure/folders that exist in the BP original /buddypress/ folder so /activity/ must be created to hold index.php or any of the other activity templates.

yeah.. there is a way.. — but — its a long and tedious “surgery” (i would dare say it would take maybe 3 months to get it done)

i use buddyboss and default twenty seventeen themes on my projects..

Currently PMPro has no official relationship with BuddyPress.

The relationship depends on the Theme.

Themes like SweetDate have options for PMPro.

I probably don’t have a real solution for you, but for the record, images uploading on Buddypress will not have a same CSS everytime. Just think about it, because avatars and cover images are new images uploading into our database, and lazy load will exclude core images (which have specific classes throughout). If you’re planning to add the uploading image area into lazy load, it will probably not work also since you’re using the class of the surrounding/background/border/area not the actual image that is uploaded.

Second of all, I have the same issue as yours. And my solution is to officially turn off lazy load. Because lazy load can actually affect our SEO rather than helping it grow. And the resolve is too hard to figure out since it’s not the problem of both theme and Buddypress, neither will have a solution (And lazy load plugins are one time development, noone will stick around to adjust this upload that for us).

No WP is still the default until you redirect visitors through some code in your functions.php

To make your activity page the default after login add following code to your child themes functions.php:

define( 'BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT', 'activity' );

function login_redirect( $redirect_to, $request, $user ){

    return home_url('activity');

}

add_filter( 'login_redirect', 'login_redirect', 10, 3 );

If you want to direct to profile page then change activity to profile.

2 options I see:
1) Use hooks on the register.php page like do_action( ‘bp_after_registration_submit_buttons’ ) add_action('bp_after_registration_submit_buttons','your_function');
function your_function(){
echo do_shortcode( '' );
}
2) Modify register page –> copy wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/members/register.php to wp-content/themes/your-child-theme/buddypress/members/register.php and modify in your-child-theme

do_shortcode()

Hi @bttmrc,

You can add the profile avatar in wordpress menu by simply filtering the wp_nav_menu_items function. A nice article is here. Add a custom menu item. You should know a little bit of coding to achieve it.

Yes. Make your adjustments in this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\groups\single\members.php

Create a template overload of that file first.

Try adding this under the member name link:
<h2 class="user-nicename">@<?php bp_activity_get_user_mentionname( bp_get_group_member_id() ); ?></h2>

@ashrod, hope this helps. This fades in a tooltip by animating the member’s name in a black box with arrow pointing up towards the avatar on hover. It may need tweaking for your site and hope other’s can improve and optimize this further. I needed a quick solution to work with the Woffice theme by Alkaweb and is working well for me so far.

If you want to see this in action, just copy this and go to Woffice demo site using Firefox + Firebug and copy paste into the style editor tab and hover over the who’s online avatar to see the tooltip.

.avatar-block a {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
/* change to whatever your avatar size is */
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.avatar-block a:after {
content: attr(data-bp-tooltip);
font-size: 10px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 999;
background: #000;
color: #e0e0e0;
padding: 2px 5px;
line-height: 15px;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.4s ease-out;
top: 55px;
/* based on a 50x50 avatar and places the tooltip 5px below */
text-align: center;
margin-left: -50%;
left: 0;
width: 100px;
pointer-events: none;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.avatar-block a:before {
/* this is the arrow pointing up */
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
top: 50px;
/* based on a 50x50 avatar and places the tooltip 5px below */
width: 0;
height: 0;
transition: opacity 0.4s ease-out;
opacity: 0;
border-left: 5px solid transparent;
border-right: 5px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 5px solid #000;
clear: both;
z-index: 999;
pointer-events: none;
}
.widget.buddypress div.avatar-block {
overflow: visible !important;
}
.avatar-block a:hover:before,
.avatar-block a:hover:after {
opacity: 1;
}
.avatar-block .item-avatar {
display: inline-block;
}

@ftg17 Did you check the Profile Settings Option? If not Login to WordPress dashboard using admin account and navigate to Setting >> Buddypress >> Options >> Profile Settings . Mark tick on allow user to upload profile photo. If you did this kindly change to the WordPress default theme and check if now you can update your profile pic.

@whiteeagle1985, I checked the generatepress theme, You can put below code in you child theme’s function.php

// Change Post's Author URL to Buddypress Profile URL
add_filter('generate_post_author_output','generate_post_author_output_buddyprss_url');

function generate_post_author_output_buddyprss_url( $post_author_profile_link ){
$post_author_profile_link = sprintf( ' <span class="byline">%1$s</span>',
			sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author">%1$s <a class="url fn n" href="%2$s" title="%3$s" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%4$s</span></a></span>',
				__( 'by','generatepress'),
				esc_url( bp_core_get_user_domain( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
				esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'Know more about %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
				esc_html( get_the_author() )
			)
		) ;
return  $post_author_profile_link;

}

It should work.

Check out this article on CSS:

You can change the look and feel of your theme by adding styles to your child theme’s style.css document.
