BuddyPress.org

I have worked out a solution or at least a direction for me to head in. :))

@ripulkr and @boonebgorges gave me the idea of using a MySQL database and the use of tables to store the user’s data and their meta data.
I jumped on the WPdatatables plug-in which allowed me to easily use MySQL queries to the WordPress database (WPDB). I then created a table within the WPDB and created columns for the fields I wanted like height, weight, length. I also have a couple of other columns in the table to associate the record number and the user id.
WPdatatables also has an add-on for Gravity Forms so it was simple for users to fill out a form to submit data direct to the table. I then create a page for the users showing the WPDB table for them to only see their entries. It has a reports and chart feature too. :))
WPdatatables full use of MySQL queries allows me to join tables within the WPDB which makes it nice to be able to match up and show their user data too.
I’m pretty happy with how it works and its potential.
A very high level explanation but would be happy to explain further if needed. :))

sorry please delete, found the answer by changing the wording in google.

I am using WP Mail SMTP to get the mail to send without issues. But it seems to affect this particular email only, I am getting everything else as far as I am aware.

Here are my current active plugins – There is quite a long list.
I do use Autoptimize, so not sure if it’s affecting anything.
One of note, is Social Login, which when logging directs to their site, and redirects back to my site to log the user in via their social network, this is where it falls over and does not send this one email. It manages to send other emails related to the login, but it now gives me an idea to look into the code that sends this social email sign up notification.

After a lot of digging here I found this:

bp_message_notice_delete_link uses wrong action for nonce generation

I made this change in the source code: fix nonce for sitewide notice deletion.

Changed in source code from this file /buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/messages/notices-loop.php
<a class="button" href="<?php bp_message_notice_delete_link(); ?>" class="confirm" aria-label="<?php esc_attr_e( "Delete Message", 'buddypress' ); ?>">x</a>
in this
<a class="button" href="<?php bp_message_notice_delete_link(); ?>" class="confirm" title="<?php esc_attr_e( "Delete Message", "buddypress" ); ?>">x</a>

Now I see the delete button and can delete messages, but this goes wrong again after an update from Buddypress.

I would like to receive an advice.
Thanks

ok.. it works again.. Not sure which step fixed it but here is what I did..

In the database area I clicked the Optimize, repair, and reset permission buttons.

In wordpress I cleared off some of the warning notifications I was getting about “Activity Stream” and “User Links” pages not having pages set for them..

I had those removed on purpose btw.

The code to hide the members directory doesn’t work anymore but someone said something about maybe being able to redirect traffic to that page to a password protected or otherwise restricted page.

So.. That should do it if you have the problem I did.. clear the page missing error for user links and activity and run the one click fixes on the database to reset permissions and such.

Thank you for your kind reply @boonebgorges
I have managed to find the solution that triggered the activity too by using the one of the wordpress plugins.
Thanks a lot :))

Hello Gorges
And thank you 🙂

In fact, I want to hide these tabs to everyone except for a wordpress role and the super admin
It works (a priori) but do not hesitate to suggest an improvement.
I am not sure of my code!

Regards

add_action('wp_head', 'HD_maj_activite');
function HD_maj_activite() {
	$bp_loggedin_user_id = bp_loggedin_user_id();
	$user_info = get_userdata($bp_loggedin_user_id);
	$user_roles = $user_info->roles;
	if (is_super_admin() || in_array('membre2', $user_roles)) 
 	return ;
	$output .= '<style type="text/css">body.activity.directory #activity-friends {display: none;}</style>';
	$output .= '<style type="text/css">body.activity.directory #activity-groups {display: none;}</style>';
   echo $output; // 
}

I am aiming to make this a modern fully functional forum website that does offer the same if not more functions then most commercially available alternatives and prove that BBpress is capable of providing everything we need to create a full-fledged forum.

As I am not a programmer I have been cutting and pasting for so long that I now start to get a basic understanding of php, but still only cutting pasting and making minor adjustments.

I am almost ready incorporating all features I need, as soon as that is done I will once again rewrite all code to tidy it up and try to make it into a theme for others to use.

I hope my effort shows those looking for software to make a forum that BBPress is capable and with wordpress in the background potentially better then anything you can buy.

Hello Boone,

Thank you for your input.

I’ve checked permission status of uploads: 755.

Cleared all caches, Cloudflare, and pauzed SSL but still no luck with the posting of updates or uploading of images in posts, activity stream or in Media Library (shows a blank page, no thumbnails, etc.).

But on top of this I’ve found other (probably related) problems:

1. Even our administrators couldn’t create new user accounts or update existing accounts. All we see is an avatar, no name, email, no edit,etc. See image below:

2. Database error:
WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘0’ for key ‘PRIMARY’] 
INSERT INTO kuyrsd79sdn_bp_activity ( user_id, component, type, action, content, primary_link, date_recorded, item_id, secondary_item_id, hide_sitewide, is_spam ) VALUES ( 82, ‘activity’, ‘activity_update’,

MySQL said:
#1062 – Duplicate entry ‘0’ for key ‘PRIMARY’

3 SQL query:

—
— Indexes for table kuyrsd79sdn_options
—
ALTER TABLE kuyrsd79sdn_options
ADD PRIMARY KEY (option_id),
ADD UNIQUE KEY option_name (option_name),
ADD KEY wpe_autoload_options_index (autoload)

Any idea how to fix this?

Rename wp-login. Well, its a community site where everybody is logging in, generation community sites comes with Login, not wp-admin. And worse amateurs will know that you are running WP and think there is nothing different from your big website and their blog.

Boone howzit bud! 🙂 Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated!!!

I went into my cpanel, fortunately these guys I’m hosting with have auto saves on and I could restore my site to a previous time. WHOOOOHOOOO!!!!! So happy I chose them as my host provider!!!!

There is the fear though that this might occur again!… so running the neglected back up on my side will occur before every plugin installed or major settings change…. discipline is the way forward!

Ok prevention is better than cure right!?

So here goes the story as good as I can explain in my no programmer/developer language…

I was in wordpress… Installing Buddypress… I opened a second browser tab so I can view all the changes etc. that I made tweaking and installing Buddyp. (..aaand gloating cause I actually followed instructions to the letter and it all worked out just peachy!) Buddypress installed even downloaded the fake content plugin to see the end result in all it’s glory.. 🙂

I had to take it just one step further to satisfy this little voice in my head!

To test Buddyp. as a potential new register.

I logged out as admin….

Unknowingly
all Sh*t broke loose just then….

I created a new account as a new user… completed in the registration form with a fresh email account… Buddyp. sent me the verify link to my email account.

Clicking on the verify email account link… gave me a – page not found – and re-directed be back to the login up page, once there telling me in red highlight – there is no account with those details…

Frantically entering the new registration details just kept me in the same loop…

Then deciding ok… to use my admin credentials to get back into either Buddyp. or my site backend…

To no avail… admin credentials did not do the trick… I was locked out completely…!

My std WordPress email credentials meant squat!

My main concern is, I need to to fix this…
I a new user register with my site the same think will occur to them…

Being redirected back to the login and password block after clicking and confirming their email address….

I am not sure how to fix this!

I hope this makes sense… ?

Once again… thank you for the response to help out… would you know how to fix said issue?

Regards

Many thanks for this helpful reply. Presumably, creating a plugin for the code (http://webcraft.tools/how-to-create-a-simple-wordpress-plugin/) would work just as well, assuming that there are no errors.
