BuddyPress.org

@jessicana,

if you allow group creation to your members, they can do so by going to group directory.
The “create group” button is in the group header.

Once created, the member see on his profile, a tab named My Groups (or Groups) with a counter. On the tab, the group list created by him.

-> When users are logged out, they have no access to the Toolbar or to the Create Group button on the group directory.

This is so by default. Any other behaviour can be considered as theme related (for ex. if you use a theme specifically designed for BuddyPress). IMHO rare, but can eventually exist.

You can hide the Toolbar to logged out user in the buddypress settings.

About BP/WP jargon:
the Toolbar is the wordpress black toolbar at the top of the site.
the User menu is the menu at the top right corner, under wp’s Howdy
the buddymenu is the bar under the page header and before the page content. Depending the context (page, status), this menu bar has an associated sub menu.

Deactivate all plugins but buddypress and activate 2014 and retest your install.
See if the notices disappear and if the site loads correctly.
If not, deactivate buddypress and retest.

If ok, activate custom community and retest only with wp.
If the errors are back, you have the culprit.
If it is ok, activate BP. Retest.

If ok, you reactivate one by one your plugins. Except BP Toolbar, outdated and still in beta since april 2013. This plugin was intended for BP 1.5 to 1.7. And BuddyPress is use now the wp Toolbar.

If nothing of this is working correctly, you have to ask on the theme support.

@seniortech,

On a single install, users have never access to the dashboard. This only happens if they have a blog on a multi site. And the admin they see is the admin of their blog, not the main blog where BP is installed.

But first, read here please, provide the information and your theme name. be warned that if you use a premium, that you can’t expect much help on this forum, as we have no access to such themes.

FYI: the admin toolbar or any of the BP menus are working like any other menus and toolbar labels on wordpress. Is explained on the WP codex.
For more advanced details, see here.

For specific BP customization, read the BP Codex.

hi @vivis,

try with this function <?php bp_notifications_toolbar_menu ?>
Read also the documentation of your Premium theme (Kleo) about menu and the WP codex on how to add toolbar menus and sub menus.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar

Any theme contains a page.php or buddypress.php if you use a child theme.

The username is coded like this:
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

You simply add your conditionnal around the h1 line

if (….)
h1 the title
endif

Don’t see exactly from where the name on the top right is coming. Is it the one on the Toolbar (howdy) ?
Give the code

@ganzuelo

scrolling down the member page provides a funny elastic effect ! 😉 Really cool, but not what you want of course.
I disabled js on the browser and the effect disapeared immediatly.
So i think there is a js conflict, probably with some of your theme’s script.
check for the elements
`<div class=”col span_3>
<a>
<img alt=”Foxtrot Tango” /> `

You mention salient to be your theme but the source code indicates castle ? Did you rename it for a child theme usage ?
Some script don’t support this…

You use also a plugin to remove the admin bar.

<!--Plugin Global Hide Admin Tool Bar 1.6.1 Build 2014-04-16 Active --->
<!-- This website is patched against a big problem not solved from WordPress 3.3+ to date -->

Huh ?

Don’t know if the second comment belongs to that plugin, but if yes, WP is currently in 4.0 phase, so a 3.3 “problem” maybe solved.
Google to find a simplier solution to remove the toolbar. There is also a easy and light solution in on the WP codex.

add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false'); in theme’s function or bp-custom.php would do the job on front-end !

Don’t use a hammer to kill a fly ! 😉

@jejemo

try by adding this at the begin of your function
$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();

If you’re working on the Toolbar, the correct way to add a menu is like on this example:

/* add links/menus to the admin bar*/
/* more details here: http://wpengineer.com/2113/add-menus-to-the-admin-bar-of-wordpress/ */

function mytheme_admin_bar_render() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
		'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
		'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
		'title' => __('Media'), // link title
		'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
		'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
		)
	);
}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'mytheme_admin_bar_render' ); 

A similar method is used to add a tab. Here on a user profile.

function bpfr_my_setup_nav() {
    global $bp;
	
	$mytab=array(
	'name'            => 'My Tab',
	'link'      	  => 'http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/my_extra_page.php',
	'slug'         	  => 'my-tab',
	'css_id'          => 'my_custom_tab',
	'position'        => 100,
	'user_has_access' => 1,
    'screen_function' => 'xprofile_screen_my_tab'
	);
	$bp->bp_options_nav['profile']['my-tab']=$mytab; 	
}
add_action('bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_my_setup_nav');

hi @escudero95

here are 2 function you can use for do what you need. The first add Happy birthday on the Toolbar, near the Howdy.

The second will add the same thing on the profile header, above @username at the right of the avatar.

These function can be used from within bp-custom.php or theme’s functions.php

You have to create a date type profile field and set it to be viewed by friends only.

Naturally this is intended to be an example of use. It’s certainly perfectible. Also take care of the different comments inside the code. Have fun !

function bpfr_happybirthday( $wp_admin_bar ) {
	global $bp;
	
	// if user is not logged in, we show nothing
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	return false;
	
	// is xprofile component active ?
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )	
		   // fetch the birthdate
		   // as the function should work outside of the profile loop, we first need the user_id
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
			
			// now we get the birthdate and our text to show (text | username). 53 is the field id.
			// depending your theme, this may be adjusted by css as it goes probably on two lines
		$birthdate = xprofile_get_field_data('53', $user_id ) ? __( 'Happy Birthday ' ) . bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ) : '';	
		
		// building the output and adding some css	 
		$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();

		// condition for the greating on the toolbar
		if (!is_user_logged_in( $user_id ) ) { 		
		
		$my_title = '<span style="float: left; width: 16px;	height: 16px; margin: 5px 5px 0 -1px; display: block; background-color: green; border-radius: 16px;"></span> '.$birthdate.' ';
		
			$args = array(
			'parent'    => 'top-secondary', // position
			'id'		=> 'birthday_item', // unique identifier
			'title' 	=> $my_title, // the name who appears on the bar
			);
		
	
			$wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
		}
	
}
add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'bpfr_happybirthday', 90 );

function bpfr_happybirthday2u() {
	global $bp;
	
	// if user is not logged in, we show nothing
	if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
	return false;
	
	if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
        $user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
    } else {
        $user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
    }
	
	// is xprofile components active ?
	if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )
	
	// fetch the birthdate
	// as the function should work outside of the profile loop, we first need the user_id
	$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	
	// now we get the birthdate and our text to show (text | username). 53 is the field id.
	// depending your theme, this may be adjusted by css as it goes probably on two lines
	$birthdate = xprofile_get_field_data('53', $user_id ) ? __( 'Happy Birthday ' ) . bp_core_get_username( bp_displayed_user_id() ) : '';	
	
	// building the output and adding some css
	$my_title = '<div style="margin: 5px 5px 20px 5px; border:1px solid red; min-height:18px;"><div style="float: left; width: 16px; height: 16px; margin: 5px 5px 0 -1px; display: block; background-color: green; border-radius: 16px;"></div> '.$birthdate.' </div>';
	
	echo $birthdate;	
	
}
add_action( 'bp_before_member_header_meta', 'bpfr_happybirthday2u' );
