BuddyPress.org

Many thanks Henry!

Yes that is what would be needed, but how can i assign “.some-wrapper-class” to the element i am trying to resize ? I am still a newbie with wordpress and buddypress … i have looked all over the net and couldnt find anything helpful.

Best,
Yvan

Hi Henry,

Yes i have done that, but there’s still no option for users to join groups, nor anything other than very basic styling.

Whereas the documentaiton shows a ‘group directory’ which looks like this

I have no group avatars, join now buttons or anything like that. Do we actually have to create all those basic features manually every time? I would have thought it should be automatic…?

Thanks

This is everything what is written to the log after i tried to upload an image:

[02-Dec-2015 17:45:42 UTC] PHP Notice:  bp_setup_current_user was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress">Debugging in WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 1.7.) in /home/***/domains/***/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3622

So i’ve had some success trying to change the profile links with this code:

function _bp_core_get_user_domain($domain) {
	$url = get_home_url();
	$user_id = bp_get_member_user_id();
	if (empty($user_id)) {
		$user_id = bp_get_activity_user_id();
	}
	if (empty($user_id)) {
		//$user_id = bp_displayed_user_id();
	}
	$user_info = get_userdata($user_id);
	$link = $user_info->display_name;
	$domain = '' . $url . '/profiles/' . $link . '';
	return $domain;
    }
add_filter('bp_core_get_user_domain', '_bp_core_get_user_domain', 10, 4);
apply_filters( 'bp_get_activity_user_link', '_bp_core_get_user_domain', 15, 1);

This seems to work on every profile link except the one in the activity header section. This link is being changed but just to /profiles/. The display name is not being added to the end… so looking at my code this means i’m not retrieving the user id in the activity. Strangely enough though the user avatar next to the post has the correct link applied to it with the above filter! Any ideas?

My other option is to use the buddypress member profile location but replace it with my profile templates. I tried to implement this by creaing a members/single/home.php in my wordpress custom theme folder… but the profile loads inside another page, i get a page within a page type effect with the username above the inner page… not sure what is going on there? If anyone can help with either of these solutions i’d really appreciate it!

Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark but what I’ve discovered is that BP’s implementation of member types is pretty underwhelming since it’s only an xprofile field. In regards to my original use case, I discovered I was better off defining custom user roles (AKA member types) and adding appropriate permissions. This can easily be achieved with a few simple lines of code in your functions.php or your custom plugin. If coding isn’t your thing then there are a bunch of freemium plugins available for you to use. Why the Buddypress team elected not to leverage WordPress’ built in User Roles for this feature is beyond me, but if anybody is still looking for an answer to this then I highly recommend checking out the WordPress Codex on User Roles and Capabilities. Hope this helps!

You’re right! I didn’t realize it at first…. I appreciate all the help you’ve given so far. I can continue this on the S2 Member Forum if you like, you’re just doing such an awesome job though :D.

Regarding the $s2member_level1 , I was just pulling that out of my butt and it was only thing I put there that didn’t break the pages.

But if you’re curious, this is what I have now:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in() && 4 == S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL){ ?>

<div class="paybox">
<h3>Make Payment with PayPal&reg;</h3>
<?php $uemail = getDisplayedUserEmail(); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[gravityforms id="7" field_values="recip-email=' . $uemail . '"]'); ?>
</div><!-- .paybox -->

<?php } ?>

This is working for the most part, but oddly enough there are a few more employers that are still showing the paypal button. So, I started using this:
<?php echo S2MEMBER_CURRENT_USER_ACCESS_LEVEL; ?>
to see the output and most employers are the number 2, but a few are listed as 4 – which creates the problem. Ideally, I could just do it like in the previous code I had put up $type === $s2member_level1 as that’s how they are listed in the backend of WordPress.

Hi,

That’s what I did, but it is still showing the error “Vendor registration is currently closed. if you have an existing account, you may log in and apply to become a vendor”. How do I fix this? I think the code is not completely removed from WordPress even when I delete BuddyPress in Plugins.

Hi, Any update on this? 🙁

How do I remove buddyPress completely from my wordpress and restore everything as pre-installation of BuddyPress?

I posted three times yesterday, and none of my posts showed up in the forum. Today an Administrator contacted me and said my posts got caught up in the cache. But then, someone deleted two of my posts and changed the header of the only existing post to “How to install WordPress”, which isn’t at ALL what my post said. It said “How to install Buddypress”.

Now, I’m reposting again because I cannot change the header BACK, on my own post, and suddenly it activates correctly. Now, I can’t delete THIS post for some reason. No “Delete” link anywhere, so it’s a useless, resolved post that I don’t want any answers to. FYI…
