BuddyPress.org

Are you interested in a plugin solution?

Try BuddyPress Auto Group Join. It looks as though it’ll do what you need.

According to another of your topics, you are using WP Symposium, which is another social network plugin for WordPress.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/wp-symposium-vs-buddypress/
You can’t use both on a same site.

I’m having sync problems too.
BP members: 146
WP members: 370

Some are only in the BP list and not the WP list so I can’t edit their roles or pretty much anything. WordPress 4.2.2, BuddyPress 2.3.2.1, housestormborn.com

I believe that it uses the built-in wordpress “post” function.

Why would you think that? Even a quick look at the code would show that’s not the case.

Use this hook:
apply_filters( 'bp_activity_post_update_content', $_POST['whats-new'] );

Try:

function allow_empty_whatsnew( $content ) {
	if ( empty( $content ) )
		$content = ' '; // cannot be empty
		
	return $content;
}
add_filter('bp_activity_post_update_content', 'allow_empty_whatsnew');

>I still can’t seem to figure out where that @username went.

Look in this file, hopefully in [your-theme]\buddypress\members\single\member-header.php

Look near the top for bp_displayed_user_mentionname();

btw – you should not use ‘admin’ as a username.

Hi @milenushka,

I see you are also filtering bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types to track comments about the “projects” post type. I’ve changed my mind 🙂 I think we should wait to have this ticket fixed first.

Since 2.3 your code should work fine.

You should consider leaving a review. It might help people in future if they are trying to decide whether to use the plugin.

Than you for sharing, @enigma666666 !

For those interested, here the support topic with the correct echo code to work.

@zewitchi
btw I tried to sign up an account with your site, and used one of my non-gmail non-yahoo addys, which usually lets everything through (no spm filters and such) and I never got an email – so I would check with your host first.

your server support people will usually see something in the error log, or know that they have your account limited in some way that…
tell them you have a wordpress install that is trying to use php to send mail to new registered users, and it seems to not be sending.
either they will change for you, or tell you that you need a different hosting plan in order to use features like that –

@zewitchi

with new servers, I try to use these two plugins:
Have you tried “contact form 7” or “si-contact form” plugins to see if your server allows wp to send emails?

on some servers they both work to send an email to my admin email account – on some servers only one of those will work (without tweaking smtp settings and such)

in my limited experience – if neither of those work – then I would write my server people and ask them if some kind of mod sec or php limiting setting that the server company sets would be preventing your wordpress install from sending email via php.

There are other ways to get WP to send emails – but your server people will usually see something in the error log, or know that they have your account limited in some way that either they will change for you, or tell you that you need a different hosting plan in order to use features like that – since they are sometimes abused by the hosting account leasee, or spam / hack programs that hit unsecured php scripts.

(I’m no expert, just had some experiences. I’m sure others know more about this than I do)

hi @electrolove,

mostly it’s the theme who doesn’t work with BuddyPress. Actually, BP is working with almost any avaible theme, under condition this thme is respecting WP’s coding standart.

Unfortunatly, your theme is a mix for joomla and wordpress… May work with a WP blog, but i doubt for BP as it doesn’t exactly use the basic page system. And if your theme wasn’t recently updated, it could be a mess to adapt.

They are so many theme that you can choose another one in case of trouble. Why loosing your time with one who doesn’t work, when you can find hundred’s of others in the same time ?

Anyway, ask on theme support, you paid for that. Here we can’t help you, as we have no access to the code.

@danbp –

those are interesting – I’d like to add that anyone considering integrating those should pay close attention to the terms of service, privacy policies, usage restrictions, etc – most that I have found that are “free” either crash ~ 20 users, or are hosted on third party servers that are not in your own control – so reliability, and privacy, third party ads out of your control – stuff like that I always found (aside from quick chat, which runs on own server using sql database I think)

to get a little fancier than quick chat, I have tried more then 50 free / freemium / and premium options out there.. but I had not seen that one pointed out at code canyon – I might buy it and try it to see how it works, unfortunately I have found that even most premium options fail with server load issues once about 20 people are chatting – especially if they use the same mysql that your wordpress is tapping into. I also need to find someone who can go over the code in that one to see how hackable it may or may not be – any suggestions for a security review person?

If you can budget a couple hundred bucks you could get into:

123flashchat, I can say that it is solid enough to keep running for months on end even with lots of chatters.. there is a wp integration kit avail for that premium program – but I have not tried it yet. The support is either really great, or no answer – but I think part of that is my email services auto-blocking stuff from a busy email server in hong kong – and some language barriers.

Another premium option with will require a red5 media server or something similar is av-chat by nusoft – it has buddypress integration that I use – will pull in bp avatars into the chat room and such – it’s pretty solid, and lots of customization options.
( https://wordpress.org/plugins/avchat-3/ )

I use these as single page chat rooms, not something site-wide on every page.

@danbp or @moderators – I am pretty sure the comment two above which links “cards” is just purely seo link spam 🙁 –

Hi all,

the’re some specific chat plugins for BP ! Have you tested them ?
– BuddyPress Group Tinychat
– Buddypress Group Chat
.. and both are up to date !

For a few bucks, i can buy BPChat

@expertscafe,

please use the code button when you post code.

Why do you think there is an error in BuddyPress ?
The warning only tells you that foreach doesn’t work correctly on YOUR install. No need to copy BP code, we have it all here. Mentionning the error – without server path- is enought.
(removed from your topic for security)

If there would be a BP error, you would find many topics here about that problem. It’s not the case so far i can see.

First thing to do is to debug.
Deactivate all plugins but BP, and activate one of WP default’s theme.
Review BP settings and save your permalinks.
After that, you reactivate plugins one by one and test… If all is OK, reactivate the actual theme.

If you see a probleme again, you can get sure it’s your theme. In that case you have to contact the forest support.

This doesn’t answer your question but you say you’re including a file to open a mysql connection. Interacting with the WordPress database should be done though the wpdb class. Check it out, it’ll make your life easier and ensure your code is secure.

I’ve created a ticket about this bug here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6528

This should be fixed for v2.4, which is tentatively scheduled for an autumn release.

In the meantime, you could use the 'bp_verify_nonce_request_url' filter to remove the double port number, which should temporarily fix the issue.

Hi lionel @prabin04

no directly the solution, but you asked for code, here it is:

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/adding-favourite-posts-as-a-tab-in-buddypress/

No screenshot ? Anyway, on group activity page, some action to take could be:

$my_fav_count = bp_activity_get_meta( bp_get_activity_id(), 'favorite_count' );

The important thing here is bp_activity_get_meta()

Most of favorite action are related in bp-activity-actions.php, like
$favs = bp_activity_get_user_favorites( bp_displayed_user_id() );
also some in bp-activity-functions.php:659

For other favorite skills, see also

Thanks for the report.

I’ve created a ticket about this here:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6529

BP will better support emojis after we’ve upgraded our database schema to support utf8mb4.
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6346

More info courtesy of WP here:

The utf8mb4 Upgrade

The nearest would be BP Moderation, but from back-end mostly.

Group updates are not topics or blog post, but activities. And these can’t be moderated like topics.

If you want group members discussion, use a group forum and in that case, deactivate update commenting. This will force members to discuss on forum and not on group activity wall.

@djsteveb,

was miffed too, and decided finally to not use emoji’s. IMO unnecessary built-in noise, coming from extarnal server and added to every page without warning the site admin ! I disabled them with this plugin. On another hand, 23% of websites use now emoticons and probably 90% ignore that… Marketing !!!

If you still want some pics (if childish public is the target), see WP MonaLisa, which is even tailored for BuddyPress.

Have a nice day ! 😉 (emoticon ?)
