BuddyPress.org

Pity that the theme needs to be hacke as…

To avoid that, you should be using a child theme.
Or you could put the code in bp-custom.php.

Hi!

@mcUK, I am really struggeling with the class selector! I cant figure out where to find my themes selector for #main-navigation .main-nav ul li.bubble {
Pressing f12, what should I be looking for? See the picture below.

Also, when not logged in, I get the number “13” instead of “0”…
Please advice….

best regards!

Unless you are explicitly using the BP default theme, I believe you should be using this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\js\buddypress.js

And you should be able to overload that file in your theme.

Well, there are several Group chat rooms integrated well with BuddyPress.

When you choose, you need to consider the following:
1 – You can install one on your server, but if you have more than 10 chatters, that will probably load your server. Most shared hosting services, do not allow to install a chat on the server as it is high cpu/mem consumer. In addition, sharing files is dead slow.

2 – I recommend a group chat hosted service, it will offload all activity to a remote server, bandwidth is not a consideration. They work with CDN, so everything is pretty fast.

As for your question:
I am very much in favor of RumbleTalk chat plugin, works very well and integrate with your users base.

– Ability to send any files (anything from videos, photos, music, etc.)
Yes -You can upload files, pdf,excel..etc, I think any file, but they have size limit
– Ability to text chat
Yes
– Ability to video or voice call to a friend
Yes – they have private chat (you need to allow it in the settings), you must be in ssl to use it (WebRTC)
– (Optional) ability to add other friends or users to the chat
Yes – you can allow facebook/twitter friends
– (Optional) ability to screen share (desktop sharing)
No – no screen sharing

This will remove the ‘Members’ link on group pages:

function bp_group_remove_members_tab() {
	
    if ( ! bp_is_group() )
	return; 
	
    global $bp;
    if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) 	{
         $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['members'] = false;		 		 
    }
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_group_remove_members_tab', 999 );

You can put it in your theme/functions.php
also – I think there is probably a better way to code this… ?

So on successful login it looks as though Simple Membership’s swpm_login hook runs. With the Simple Membership plugin activated, try adding this to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'swpm_login', function( $user, $pass, $remember ) {
    if ( ! $user || is_wp_error( $user ) ) {
        return;
    }
    bp_core_redirect( bp_loggedin_user_domain() );
} );

Please note I haven’t tested.

They mean the theme that is currently activated.

Does “your theme” here mean my theme twenty twelve? Or do they mean some other buddypress theme folder?

Template compatibility also runs a check to see if two directories or folders exist in a theme:

‘buddypress’
‘community’
If either of these two folders exist in your theme and they contain BP template files then those files will be used in preference to the bp plugins versions.

Edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

If you have cover images enabled, edit this file:
buddypress\bp-templates\bp-legacy\buddypress\members\single\cover-image-header.php

Either way, you should be creating template overloads.

Hi there, let’s try to reply to one problem at a time!

Now the posts do appear in activity stream, but not the comments. If i comment on a post, the stream doesn’t show the comments, but if i comment on a post via activity stream, the comment is then seen on a post and on the activity stream.

I guess, this means the BuddyPress “Site Tracking” is active.

1/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is not checked. It means when a post or a comment is posted, then an activity will be generated, but it’s not possible to add an “Activity comment” to the generated activities. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

2/ WordPress Administration > BuddyPress Settings > Options Tab – Activity Settings section:
Setting ‘Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts’ is checked. This means you chose to synchronize comments between the Post object and the corresponding activity object. So a comment on the activity about the post will generate a regular post comment and a regular post comment will generate an activity comment on the activity about the Post. Just tested with latest WordPress and BuddyPress 2.5.2 and it works as expected:

Now @cmavrikas is talking about something else i think. He wants the activity comments to also be displayed like regular activities: in stream mode.
I then advise to use another filter to avoid parsing args / checking the current object of the Ajax querystring:

function activity_comments_stream_mode( $args = array() ) {
	return array_merge( $args, array(
		'display_comments' => 'stream',
	) );
}
add_filter( 'bp_before_has_activities_parse_args', 'activity_comments_stream_mode', 20, 1 );

I just tested it, and again it’s working fine in latest WordPress / BuddyPress 2.5.2…

I advise you to deactivate plugins/come back to a default WordPress theme and do the opposite work to find the plugins or theme that prevents this regular behaviors.

what code should I place and where?

I’ve provided the code to use.
And explained that you need to find the code that displays the avatar on post pages – it’s somewhere in your theme.

There is no need to modify the member loop. You just have to add the function into one of the file i mentionned.

By doing this with bp-custom.php, you don’t need to alter your curent theme and by the way, it will also work in case you use another theme.
