BuddyPress.org

I like your idea about calling a function from the php for the modal window.

Just FYI .. this is what I have set up for colorbox (which isn’t a real ajax call, you’ll see):

echo '<a class="ajax cboxElement launch-dashboard" href="' . get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/buddypress/members/single/dashboard.php?username=' . $row->username . '" title="Dashboard">Launch Dashboard</a>';

If you aren’t familiar with how colorbox works … note that the modal window is being enabled by simply adding the “ajax” class to the link … similar to how a lightbox popup works.

Ideally .. it’d be great if I didn’t have to call these 2 lines in my dashboard.php file either:

require("../../../../../../wp-blog-header.php");
require('../../../../../../wp-load.php'); 

It’s my understanding that this is a terrible approach anyways .. since the WordPress engine is supposed to be already loaded in the background (making it redundant).

So how would I implement something like what you’ve suggested? Could you show me an example, maybe? I’m assuming that if I don’t load the WordPress engine in my dashboard.php file, that I wouldn’t be able to call a function that’s been added to my functions.php file, right?

Here’s a dumb question. Should I maybe just place my dashboard.php file in a different location within my child theme directory structure, perhaps? I ask because I’m starting to think that I might need to treat this as a normal WordPress template file .. instead of a standalone PHP script. Any thoughts?

Dear R-A-Y,

Thank you for the support, appreciate it, and sorry I did not check google myself to find out you need to create bp-custom.php in case it does not exist yet.

It seems there is a conflict with my theme after extra review of my theme builders’ team.

Once they update the theme it hopefully works with the updated wordpress and buddypress. If I need your help afterwards, I will send a new request.

Only issue left is that I don’t know why the lines of coding don’t match in my buddypress version, I never changed code in the core buddypress files.

Thanks for the support,

Bart

Although that would definitely work (and I have considered using this approach) … that would definitely be a security breach, as the PHP script could simply be linked to directly by any logged in WordPress user. So that obviously wouldn’t work in my situation.

Any other suggestions?

Hi,

I’m running latest buddypress version and WordPress version: 4.8.1

Dear R-a-Y,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I don’t understand the first part of your reply. If I follow the link you’ve provided, I see I have to add the following code:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/7578/7578.01.patch

I have to add this code in: wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-avatars.php.

However, the link you’ve provided with the code that I have to place between the lines 1402 and 1403, does not match with what I see when searching for that spot in bp-core-avatars.php. See the following image to see what I mean:

http://prntscr.com/g5r90g

The second part of your question: pasting the following code in functions.php:

// Replace BP’s avatar override filter at a higher priority:
remove_filter( ‘get_avatar_url’, ‘bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter’, 10 );
add_filter( ‘get_avatar_url’, ‘bp_core_get_avatar_data_url_filter’, 99, 3 );

–> seems not to do the trick. I pasted the code in my child theme functions.php

The other option: pasting it in wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php I was not able to do, because I cannot find bp-custom.php. Not in plugins, and also not in the Buddypress plugin folder. What do you mean with this or where can I find it?

Hopefully you can help me out, thanks.
