Is that tagdiv? There is two different Newsmag themes. I am using tagdiv.

NewsMag by TagDiv is a premium theme, which we do not have access to. Please list details when you are posting a support thread next time.

The version I tested of “NewsMag” is available from the wordpress.org theme repository:

NewsMag

I’ve reported it to the theme developer

Good idea. Hopefully they’ll be able to provide a fix!

I just installed NewsMag and the profile tabs and cover image feature look fine on an unmodified install:

Again, we cannot account for every single variant of every available theme out there. If you have some CSS knowledge, you’ll have to adjust it yourself.

What theme are you using? We try to be compatible with every theme, but it is hard to account for every single theme that is available out there.

Does the profile tabs and cover image feature show up when you switch to a WordPress theme like Twenty Sixteen?

Hi @antipole,

from non-epert to non-expert, i’ll try to explain what i understood from your previous request…

You want to show a profile filed value on the member directory and this value should be searcheable in the same way as on a profile. Right ?

On members directory, we need a field name, a field value, a user ID and a search link.

This line of code will fetch the correct field, associated to the user ID:
$value = xprofile_get_field_data('Ovni model', bp_get_member_user_id() ) )

This line will build the url for that value
$search_url = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );

And this line will build the output. I use a div with a class name. I recommand you keep it as is and add your custom style from within your child-theme style.css. Inline style is not necessary here.
$clickable = '<div class="click_dir"><a href="' . esc_url( $search_url ) . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a></div>';

And this generate the output: echo $clickable;

And finally, we add our custom filter to the existing by using add_fliter( $filter_name, $my_filter):
add_filter ( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'make_directory_profile_field_searchable' );

That’s it.

My snippet let you add such a clickable field. The field name is “ovni model”.
The code is first calling that field, and before the final output on members directory, we add a clickable search url. This is a strictly BP way to add an url to a (field)value. This snippet doesn’t need another function to work.

The field, from a profile perspective, will be Name Ovni model: value flying saucer. The link structure will be your-site/members/username/?s=flying_saucer.

The snippet use the same structure on members directory and you’ll get the same result.
Guess you don’t need the additionnal function add_info_to_members_loop.

Try first and struggle after, it’s better for your karma ! 😉

Is there a better looking bp comments plugin with some better styling?

I’m not aware of any. You could adjust or add css to change the styling.

…the bp activity stream will not pick up these comments.

You’ll need to use bp_actvity_add() to do that.
Your theme may have a hook you can use – ask them.

@gurusurfer,

this need a template overload.

Make first a child-theme.
Copy notifications-loop.php from bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/notifications/ to
/child-theme/buddypress/members/single/notifications/notifications-loop.php

At the begin of the file (line 1) copy/paste <?php bp_get_template_part( 'activity/post-form' ); ?>. Don’t remove php tags.

Save. You’re done.

Hi @ma3ry,

unable to visit the indicated page due to redirection… BP’s xProfile text box contains are autolinked by default for the 5 first words.
This is handy when you use a field called city for example. The city name is autolinked and let each user click on it to find other who may entered the same name.

Of course, an about me box with a long description, which several autolinked words has less interrest. Fortunately, you can deactivate xprofile autolinking.
Two options for this: all or selected.

Here 3 snippets. The first can be used if you want to completely remove autolink from all field values.
The second is a new filter to let you choose the field(s) you want to deactivate. This need two snippet. The first to rewrite a filter and the second to remove / replace the existing BP filter.

Add the snippet to bp-custom.php.

// remove any autolink from profile
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'remove_xprofile_links' ); 

// custom filter to selectively remove autolink
function my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data( $field_value, $field_type = 'textbox' ) {

    // Access the field you are going to display value.
    global $field;

    // In this array you write the ids (separated by comma) of the fields you want to hide the link.
    $excluded_field_ids = array(2);

    // If the id of this $field is in the array, we return the value only and not the link.
    if (in_array($field->id, $excluded_field_ids))
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( 'datebox' == $field_type )
	return $field_value;
	
	if ( !strpos( $field_value, ',' ) && ( count( explode( ' ', $field_value ) ) > 5 ) )
	return $field_value;
	
	$values = explode( ',', $field_value );
	
	if ( !empty( $values ) ) {
		foreach ( (array) $values as $value ) {
			$value = trim( $value );
			
			// If the value is a URL, skip it and just make it clickable.
			if ( preg_match( '@(https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?)@', $value ) ) {
				$new_values[] = make_clickable( $value );
				
				// Is not clickable
			} else {
				
				// More than 5 spaces
				if ( count( explode( ' ', $value ) ) > 5 ) {
					$new_values[] = $value;
					
					// Less than 5 spaces
				} else {
					$search_url   = add_query_arg( array( 's' => urlencode( $value ) ), bp_get_members_directory_permalink() );
					$new_values[] = '<a href="' . $search_url . '" rel="nofollow">' . $value . '</a>';
				}
			}
		}
		
		$values = implode( ', ', $new_values );
	}
	
	return $values;
}

/**
 * We remove the buddypress filter and add our custom filter.
 */
function remove_xprofile_links() {
    // Remove the old filter.
    remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2 );
    // Add your custom filter.
    add_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'my_xprofile_filter_link_profile_data', 9, 2);
}
add_action('bp_setup_globals', 'remove_xprofile_links');

There’s 2 ways of doing this.

1. You could modify the members-loop template (see the BuddyPress Template Hierarchy for details on how that’s done). See here. You would just add bp_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name here' ); to the template.

2. Add this to your theme’s functions.php file:

function add_info_to_members_loop() {
    echo bp_get_member_profile_data( 'field=the field name here' );
}
add_action( 'bp_directory_members_item', 'add_info_to_members_loop' );

As shanebp suggests, the problem has something to do with your theme.

Your theme appears to be a premium theme, so we cannot debug this.

Also, try switching to another theme temporarily to see if the problem is specific to just that theme.

Something in your theme is adding a call to the comments template.
Look in the code for something like: comments_template( '', true );

The issue is being caused by something in your theme or some other plugin.

Do you have debug turned on in wp-config.php ?
define('WP_DEBUG', true);

If so, change it to:
define('WP_DEBUG', false);

Can someone confirm if this code will ever be overwritten by an update to WordPress or BuddyPress?

Updating WordPress or BuddyPress won’t overwrite anything you have added to your theme, but updating your theme will do. The way around this is to create a Child Theme.

It may be a theme issue.
To confirm – try switching to a standard WP theme like 2015 and then test message sending.
