Adding Your Plugin’s Link to the BuddyPress Member Toolbar Menu

I don’t understandd this paranoïd question: So this is another case where they decided to leave out any option.

– Who are “They” ?
– What are the other case ?
– Which options are leaved out ?

Really mysterious, unless the truth is elswhere ? May be in the Twilight Zone ?

You have the option to disable the Toolbar under Settings > BuddyPress > Options.
You have the possibility to use BP’s login widget under Apparence > Widgets

Hi,

the toolbar belongs to WordPress. How to remove items is explained here:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_node
Searching the forum will certainly bring you some more hints too.

Hi,

it seems that you have a lot of pages on the site and that you use weird settings.

I would do the following:
– remove any redirect settings and other done via plugins.
– deactivate all plugins except buddypress.
– activate 2016, and not a child theme.
– ensure that each active BP component has a page assigned and that this page is unique, without any template or model assigned. Just a title and nothing else.
Actually, you have links like “…/americannexus.net/activity/members/” (found in the Who’s on widget). Or the link to Archangel’s profile indicates “../americannexus.net/activity/members/archangel/”

That’s unusual and cannot work properly, except if your WP is in a directory called “activity”. And it is not the case ! Note also that BP should be at the same level as WP.

– set up pretty permalinks (what ever but default option) and save.

– and read attentively the install guide.

Other dysfunctionning points:
The toolbar has a Register button who link to ../americannexus.net/join/ (this works correctly)
but the homepage shows ../americannexus.net/register/. If you want visitors to register, send them to /join/ page and not to an empty page.

…and of course, this link doesn’t work too (at least for a not logged visitor) : ../americannexus.net/activity/groups/create/

Here the list of correct slugs of a default BP install:
– your-site.net
– your-site.net/register/
– your-site.net/activity -> BP site activity page (active by default)
– your-site.net/members/ -> BP members directory (mandatory)
– your-site.net/groups/ -> BP groups directory (if group component is active)

These BP pages are dynamic and depending the context, you can have ie:
your-site.net/members/USERNAME -> goes to a profile
your-site.net/members/USERNAME/friends -> goes to the friends screen of the specified user

It works the same for groups.

Once BP and WP are working correctly together, you can reactivate the child theme and your plugins.

I will be your savior,
for same rasons, wordpress decided not show admin bar like default in mobile.
It is so,maybe, because when user log in in mobile device, a lot of menu will be showed… really I dont know why…
But if you dont have this problem, and want show admin bar for log in an log out users, you must add in CSS the following codec:

@media screen and (max-width:782px) {
    #wpadminbar {
        display:block;
    }
    html {
        position:absolute;
        top:-46px;
    }
}

The codec where say html position absolute is for delete noise black bar located in the up side zone.
If you want, you can also show the notification icon (I think it is named budlle notification) into the admin mar, adding the following codec in CSS zone:

/* Show only default top level items */
	#wp-toolbar > ul > li {
    		display: block;
	}

I have gone mad to find the solution, but now we have it.
If you dont want show menu in admin bar to the suscriptors, colaborator and authors, you can use the AG CUSTOM ADMIN plugin. It hide them and help you in a clean design. (you can also hide wordpress logo, and so much things…)

Now, I have only a litlle / big problem:
the drop down menu, when I click in the “notification icon” in the admin bar, is not showed correctly… It is showed from the “notification icon” to the right zone, so in mobiles user can red the title of the notification.
The solution is show the dropdown menu from the “notification icon” to the left zone. So, also in mobiles users can red the title of the notification.
Can you help me for to make that?
I have helped you, now I hope someone can help me 😉
Thank for your support and have funny

Hi @sherissa_r,

General is the default landing tab for profile settings.
To remove it, you use these functions:
to remove the item -> bp_core_remove_subnav_item()
to define a new one -> bp_core_new_nav_default()

You may also want to remove General from usermenu if you use WP’s toolbar, in which case you need -> $wp_admin_bar->remove_node()

Note that General is also the default sub-nav template for all other Settings (Emails & Profile visibility). When you remove the item, you remove also the template. That’s why you need to define a new landing tab.
Note also that once General is removed, you will only see the other settings buttons, but no the content of the new defined tab. It will only appear once you clicked on the button.

Here the snippets you could test (add them to bp-custom)

function bpex_change_profile_settings_default_tab() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :

	$access        = bp_core_can_edit_settings();
	$slug          = bp_get_settings_slug();

	$args = array(
		'parent_slug'     => $slug,
		'subnav_slug'	  => $slug . '/notifications/',
		'screen_function' => 'bp_settings_screen_notification',
		'user_has_access' => $access
		);
 
	bp_core_new_nav_default( $args );

	endif;

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpex_change_profile_settings_default_tab' );

function bpex_remove_general_item_on_usermenu() {
global $wp_admin_bar;

	if ( bp_use_wp_admin_bar() ) {
		$wp_admin_bar->remove_node( 'my-account-settings-general' );
	}

}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpex_remove_general_item_on_usermenu' );

function bpex_remove_profile_settings_general_tab() {

	if( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) ) :	

		bp_core_remove_subnav_item( 'settings', 'general' );

	endif;

}
add_action( 'bp_actions', 'bpex_remove_profile_settings_general_tab' );

Hallo @mmirlach,

I’ve activated the toolbar bubble in the settings… What are you talking about ? Such a setting doesn’t exist in BuddyPress.

You can get any css information you need for this by:
– right click on the page where you see this bubble and check the source code
or
– use Firebug or a similar tool.

Hi,

appart it is a wordpress related question, you can use CSS.

Try this rule; goes to child-theme style.css

div.wp-editor-container div.quicktags-toolbar {
	background-color: red!important;
}

You can find good tuts on the web for more details.

@jbboro3 Oh wait that is the code just for the tinymce. I’m trying to remember if I ever had the rich text editor working for comments.

Here is the code I was using for what’s new (its modified slightly for the plugin I posted above):

function bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor() {
		$dwqa_tinymce_css = apply_filters( 'dwqa_editor_style', DWQA_URI . 'templates/assets/css/editor-style.css' );
		$toolbar1 = apply_filters( 'dwqa_tinymce_toolbar1', 'bold,italic,underline,|,' . 'bullist,numlist,blockquote,|,' . 'link,unlink,|,' . 'image,code,|,'. 'spellchecker,fullscreen,dwqaCodeEmbed,|,' );
wp_editor(
	isset( $_GET['r'] ) ? '@' . esc_attr( $_GET['r'] ) : '',
	'whats-new',
	
	array(
		'textarea_name' => 'whats-new',
		'editor_class'  => 'whats-new-mce',
		'editor_height' => 200,
		'media_buttons' => false, 
		'quicktags' => false,
		'tinymce' => array(
						'toolbar1' => $toolbar1,
						'toolbar2'   => '',
						'content_css' => $dwqa_tinymce_css
				)

	)
);
}
add_action( 'whats_new_textarea', 'bpfr_whats_new_tiny_editor' );

I need to do some digging too see if I have something for the rich editor in comments. I tired so many different things trying to get it working I forgot where I left off.

Hi !

unable to recreate this issue on a standart install and 2016 activated.

This button comes only up on Group Directory: All Groups | My Groups | Create Group and not when you’re inside an existing group (where you see Send invites).

There is another button for this on the WP Toolbar > Usermenu > Groups > Create Group
And both are displayed correctly on Twenty Sixteen.

Within buddypress.css default file, there is no specific rule for it.
In case of, button’s ID on BuddyMenu is #group-create-nav

For now,
– is group creation allowed for all users (see in BP options) ?
– do you see the button in the usermenu (top right corner) and does it work ?

No idea what’s your issue, but i don’t believe it is BuddyPress. Maybe a plugin or a JS issue. Difficult to say more without a live URL. 😉

Hi,

On your Toolbar you have the correct link to the correct register page !
http://www.nyfertility.org/register/ (which is not blank at all !) 😉

Note that WP/BP use mostly php files. Searching for file-name.html brings generally nothing else as blank pages.

When you create a page or use one of BP pages, edit the page and get the permalink (underneath the page title), so you be sure to have the correct path to it.

Other advice ? 🙂 Hum… read the documentation!

Hi,

bp’s Usermenu is added to wp_admin_menu on the Toolbar, under Howdy. This BP menu ID is “my-account”.

When you’re on a profile page, you see also these items in the Buddymenu, below the profile header cover.

Some working examples here:
Remove an item from Usermenu

Remove an item from Buddymenu

Since 2.6, BuddyPress use a navigation API. See here for many use case.

Read also WP codex about admin bar menus.

Where to put BuddyPress custom code ?
Usually into bp-custom.php. This file is to BP code what a child theme is to a theme: a safe place with high priority where nothing get to loose when an update occurs !

Child’s functions.php should be reserved to whatever you need for the theme itself.
That said, it can happen(rarely) that some custom code won’t work from within bp-custom. In this case, feel free to remove it from bp-custom and give it a try inside child’s functions.php.

As novice, you’re invited to read BP and WP codex if you want to customize.

Profiles are handled on the mandatory BP members page.
And yes you’re supposed to go to your-site/members/USERNAME/profile/ via the usermenu which is in the top-right corner of the toolbar (like on this forum) or from any profile, via the buddynav.

Glad you got it !
