BuddyPress.org

This might help you, dont know myself but looks like it is adjustable to do what you need.

Xprofile search

Thanks for the info, I am actually new to WordPress and have not looked through all the functions. I have only built custom queries on custom tables on my own website that I am currently developing.
I have tried wordpress in the past but then switched to other platforms as they was more adequate for my goals.

But right now I am sticking with wordpress and building a new website :),
I’m more use to sources and templates, scripting from scratch.

Out of curiosity, which one is better on performance? A straight up query OR the function above.
If there is security concerns with using a query, apart from sanitisation which I know and use on every custom table, then that info would be good to know also.

Thanks.

Edit, I would like to report a bug in your software, even though you posted this reply I got a notification for a reply in the first topic I made. I had no idea you replied to this other than looking through the latest list of topics.

Hi @ratethetrainers,
see if this plugin may help:

Hi,

The pro version of this plugin works with BuddyPress:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/

@aljo1985
WP provides a function for getting users. No need for custom sql.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_users

@xidea
Have you tried
bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' ) . '&type=newest' )

Members Loop

Just do a select query to the wordpress database. and echo the results.

// Query
global $wpdb;
$rows = $wpdb->get_results("
	SELECT id, display_name
	FROM " . $wpdb->prefix . "users
	ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20"
);
// Show 'em...
foreach($rows as $row):
	echo $row->display_name;
endforeach;

Just change limit, to how many you want to display and DESC to ASC for order.

Enjoy, my last post!

Hi @landwire

This isn’t possible right now, but it’s a great idea. You should open a feature request on Trac to see what the core developers think.

Hi @joenyland

You will need to use validation. Validation is a way of checking what information is received from the user before it’s saved to the database. This can be achieved via a filter such as bp_signup_validate.

For more info on filter hooks in WordPress and BuddyPress, check out this article:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks

Spam is an endless plague… and there is no radical solution, but only a set of combination for minimizing it, or at least to slow down that phenomenon..

For example, changing the default wp_ table prefix is a good practice which i would recommand to any site owner touched (or not yet) by spammers.

Even if you already use another prefix, but spammers found your site, you have to modify it again. Sounds a bit stupid, but the gain will be effective for a while.

Other tips are avaible on WP Codex.

In some case, you would prefer to use a plugin. See BuddyPress Registration Option.

But in any case, you have to found your own combination.

Firefox > View > Page style > No style – does show the Search box and I could search.
So it is a theme and css issue.
Other search box appears fine on that page.
Did you use mcpeanut’s code with success ?

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seach-box-for-members-does-not-appear-only-the-button?replies=3 – they have said its a BP thing. But they have not said why the BP thing is not being shown by their theme like other themes.

Please post if you solved this. BTW what is the left side bar widget named “Activity” in your site? Its nice. Thanks.

And what is the problem ? With or without BuddyPress, you login to WordPress. 🙄
Perhaps reading this will help

Register and Activation Pages

As stated by the plugin decription:

The JavaScript file “refresh.js” will send every 10 seconds an ajax request to wp-load.php to get the new activities.

If you still have trouble after 10 seconds, you preferably ask about this on the plugin support.
Note also that the plugin is compatible up to: 3.8 / 1.8.1 so it may no more work today !

SPQR !

bp-languages folder doesn’t exist in BP 2.x

If your WP use hungarian language, when you install BP, the BuddyPress translation comes automatically from translate-wordpress.org into wp-content/languages/plugins/, which contains also by default the askimet translation.

Also, php gettext use the compiled mo format to show a translation. The po file is only used to translate.

Much more about translation in this topic.

If that be the case, may be the most appropriate thing will be to post your problem here : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

Mention the WP, BP versions you use, your theme, settings etc

Thanks.

PS : Submitting your problem in the above link may or may not generate any corrective response, in that case maybe you have too look more around the net unless some mods/devs here get you the actual help or actual code.

I have this Buddypress settings enabled
Blog & Forum Comments – Allow activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts

Does any of these plugins help ?

wordpress.org/support/plugin/get-recent-comments
wordpress.org/plugins/get-all-comments-widget/
Thanks

FYI BP_MEMBERS_SLUG is deprecated (read line 38)
and about the member slug in groups read here https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6001

Be warned that altering core files is not recommended and not best practice, as you will loose your changes at next BP update.

Also, https://wordpress.org/plugins/simplr-registration-form/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-register-profile-with-shortcode/

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/customizing/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ says “The references to slug Constants are deprecated, this section requires updating.”

I have no idea when that will be updated. Thanks.

PS : If this was an absolute necessity for me maybe I would have tried creating a wordpress page named “fans” or whatever, and inserted the Groups page as an iframe in the content of that page. That way, the url would probably show as desired.
