BuddyPress.org

Hey @danbp,

WordPress provides a function for that. Check out wp_filter_nohtml_kses(). It strips all HTML from the string you provide so there’s no need to use preg_replace().

function hellowed_remove_html_private_messages( $message ) {

    $message = wp_filter_nohtml_kses( $message );
    return $message;
}
add_filter( 'messages_message_content_before_save', 'hellowed_remove_html_private_messages' );

@fugu78,

you are using joomla on the mainsite and WordPress on the subdomain.
Question is: is WP sharing the same DB as joomla or have you a complete separate install (db & cms) for your WP/BP site ?
Which type of WP install do you use ? Single or network ? (more about)
Are mainsite users and wp site users the same people ?

BuddyBoss has his own support forum. You probably have better to ask there directly.

Hi @medianp,

just tested the plugin on a local network install and it works.

There is just a little count error (missing arg 2) in one of the file.
To solve this, add $count at the end of line 107 in bp-community-stats.php
$count = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT count(a.id) FROM {$bp->activity->table_name} a WHERE type = 'activity_update' AND a.component = '{$bp->activity->id}'", $count ) );

Plugin author warned: Total Posts and Comments not support in multisite/network mode

Search the WP plugin repo to get the missing stats.

Hi @winnergirl

Does BuddyPress require its own independent WP site?

No. BuddyPress works just like any other plugin you might install on your WordPress website. You should just be able to click ‘activate’.

@quaelibet and @danbp can you provide details of how you setup a vhost? I googled and have been able to setup a vhost but it only access the xampp page and not the wordpress page.

My host file contains the following:
127.0.0.1 buddypress.local
::1 buddypress.local

My httpd-vhosts.conf file contains the following:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot c:/xampp/htdocs
#DocumentRoot c:/vhosts/buddypress.local
ServerName buddypress.local
</VirtualHost>

when i run the URL: http://buddypress.local, it resolves to http://buddypress.local/xampp/ page
but when I run the URL http://buddypress.local/wp (my wordpress folder name is ‘WP’) it says page cannot be displayed. this is in internet explorer.

kindly help.

Thnak you.
Have you a test site or a local install where you can make some test ?

I tried to change role and other fields in new members, but nothing happened.

On a single regular install, all BuddyPress members have the default role you assigned to new users in WP settings > general. There is nothing to change at this level when they don’t show up on member’s directory.

If you need some fake BuddyPress users and content, i suggest you to use BuddyPress Default Data, which is great to control if anything is working correctly.

Deactivate your theme and all other plugins except BP and use Twenty Fifteen while testing.
Activate also wp_debug in wp-config, and see if you get somme php errors.

hum… difficult to say at t he moment, as you use 2 different site apparently.

hxxp://www.anadercategori.org/ and hxxp://pallavoloromana.it/anadercategori/squadre/test7/

Which site belongs your members to ? Where is buddyPress installed ?

BuddyPress does not work on installations where you give WordPress its own directory.
Read here: https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/

Consider

https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-like/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/

BP Reshare is a BuddyPress plugin to allow members to reshare their activities !

It wasn’t made to reshare views.

@imath is working on many other porjects, including BuddyPress. So he’s very busy and this plugin is now “old” and need probably some refactoring.
Sorry for you, but don’t expect much at this time.

Consider
https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-articles/

First off, all active BP components should have a assigned page. (mandatory)
This page must be blank, without any template model or parent page.

As you use Twenty Eleven via a child theme, read here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/bp-theme-compatibility-and-the-wordpress-default-themes/twenty-eleven-theme/ How to get the sidebar is explained there.

Where is WP installed ?
Site url is vatpt1.thevillageblog.com/
Blog seems to be in /villageatthepark/

I’m looking for the same functionality.

This is what I’ve found so far: https://github.com/imath/bp-reshare

It’s from this post: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/user-activity-share-plugin-for-wordpress-buddypress/

Let’s hope this functionality will get more attention, and implemented.

Have you changed your tables prefix or do you use the default wp_ ?
Do you have a site admin account with “admin” as username ? If yes to both, change this.

Shouldn’t a User promoted to Group Moderator be able to moderate content in that Group, regardless of their WP Role and capabilities?

Sounds logic, but No. See documentation in bp-core/bp-core-caps.php for the “why”. 😉

Since BP 1.6, group moderators can only delete, move, spam group forum content.

External reference.

Are you sure you’ve translated this label: Friends <span class="%s">%s</span>

Did you include this Sources Keyword when creating the translation .mo in poEdit: _x()

The Friends label is generated by __() and _x(), depending on the context.

More info re keywords: http://www.cssigniter.com/ignite/wordpress-poedit-translation-secrets/

Sure!

See here for where your filter will be applied. Here is documentation on apply_filters_ref_array() (it’s almost identical to apply_filters()). And you’ll need to use add_filter() to hook your filter function to the hook.

If you’re new to filter hooks, try searching for some tutorials, there’s so much info available already. Hope this info helps!

Was my suggestion any use?

Basically, I would like to call the activity stream of an author of a page.

I understood that to mean “Output an activity loop on a WordPress page limited to activity items belonging to the page author”.

If my understanding is wrong, then please let me know.

haha, I’ll take your 2 days and raise you another 3!

If i get anywhere I will defo post it here. Haven’t found anything on the forums that’s helped so far (at least anything that I recognise as being a solution). I’m fairly new to php. Been through the plugin files and found a number of functions which are likely being used (not 100%), but just not able to call them to the new tab I’ve created.

Currently working through reading Henry’s links above on the WordPress Codex and will have a fiddle around.

Hi @urbanfix

Here’s the standard loop taken from here.

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) ) ) : ?>
    <?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>
 
        <?php locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false ); ?>
 
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

If you scroll down the page and take a look at filtering options, you’ll see user_id. So your loop will look something like this:

$post = get_post( get_the_ID() );
$filter = '&user_id=' . $post->post_author;

if ( bp_has_activities( bp_ajax_querystring( 'activity' ) . $filter ) ) :
    while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
        locate_template( array( 'activity/entry.php' ), true, false );
    endwhile;
endif;

Note: I haven’t tested.

Caveat: This must be used within The Loop.

sorry i don’t know any plugins or how to hack it but i think that would make a great feature suggestion for core if you can please add it to trac here:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org

if not let me know and i’ll add it.

🙂
