BuddyPress.org

BuddyPress doesn’t support conditional profile fields (yet?). This is asked frequently but I can’t remember if anyone’s built a plugin that handles this. You might have to hack something together bespoke for your theme.

Regarding the second point, I’d recommend creating a custom field type, if you know PHP. It’s not too hard to do — I worked on this code a year or two ago, and it’s pretty easy to do now. You could look at https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/ for examples of how to add and register custom field types — specifically https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-xprofile-custom-fields-type/trunk/classes/Bxcft_Field_Type_SelectCustomPostType.php I think is a good example to work from as it displays custom post types in a list (you’d just query your custom table and pull in the values, wrap it in some caching, etc).

do i need to update the codes in my theme manually, everytime you roll an update for the plugin?

that depends if its a major update which affects the page you modified.

when i create a folder named “Buddypress” in my theme, it will override the original. correct?

correct

My answer was later as your’s.

– do you use a child-theme ?
– do you use some cache plugin ?

I haven’t time to teach you php. But a little tip when you do such things.

Before to remove code (php or html), try to ADD something to the original code. ie. a simple word who then appear on the template. This can give you an idea from where to start.

@5high Yep! You’re right. The form is now build separately. To hide it conditionnaly, it’s much easier as previously.

What you have to do from now on, is to add a condition on the template part call.

The form template file is post-form.php (activity/post-form.php)

On each activity template (swa, members, groups,…), there a call to this file. bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

To solve your problem, you have just to add the condition you want for this call.

In your case, as you want to disallow the form only on swa and on member’s activity, you modify
child-theme/buddypress/activity/index.php (site wide activity) and child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php (profile activity)

For example i hide the form to any user except site admin by using:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && is_super_admin() )
	bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' );

Hope to be clear ! 😉

Please read here and give at least some details about the theme you use.

Or better, a valid url to your site. Alternate row color is a theme related question, which can be handled via CSS, but if you don’t tell what theme you use, it’s impossible to guide you more.

Note also that if you use a premium theme, we have no access to it. In this case, you need to ask on the theme support.

Right click and select view page source code is enough to find html tags. No need to search in BP’s files. The solution is to use the appropriate id & class. Try to add this CSS to your child-theme styles.css file.

#item-nav #object-nav ul,
#item-body #subnav ul {
   list-style-type: none!important;
}

@wpbp999 Sorry, we do not have access to the premium theme. The best place to ask is at the theme developer’s forum. 🙂

If you do not have access to your database, you can temporarily put the following snippet in your theme’s functions.php or wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php file:

function ray_xprofile_group_fix() {
	global $wpdb, $bp;

	if ( empty( $_GET['xprofilefix'] ) || empty( $bp ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$wpdb->query( "UPDATE {$bp->profile->table_name_groups} SET id = 1 WHERE id = 2" );
}
add_action( 'get_header', 'ray_xprofile_group_fix' );

Then, go to your website and append ?xprofilefix=1 to your website URL.

eg. example.com/?xprofilefix=1

This should change your profile group ID back to 1. Next, check your registration page and “Edit Profile” link and see if they work.

Once you have confirmed that it works, remove the code snippet from your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php file.

This premium plugin – BuddyProfileData – will add profile data to the members loop.
It will add fields in a vertical stack.
If you are comfortable with css and maybe a little php, you can change it to horizontal.

Or you can write your own solution using this hook:
do_action( 'bp_directory_members_item' );
in this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\members-loop.php

Or you can create a template overload of that file and hardcode your solution directly in the template wherever and however you want it.

Re the ‘>’ – the best solution is to find out where it is being added by your theme css and change it.

Then you need to get it checked by your theme developer

No I meant your theme supports buddypress? Try with 2016 theme to see if it happens or not

How did you install buddupress? This is a custom theme right? You see activity page in your pages? In settings-buddypress have you activated activity component? Have you associated your activity page in the pages setting of buddypress?

on buddyboss @djpaul they were excellent when they came up with the buddyboss theme…now they got multiple themes and plugins..and if you would check their support forums you would see the user feedback on their new themes now including the boss theme as well
