BuddyPress.org

I want to create a customised “SharePics” service button that owners of any other websites on any platform can embed in the codes of their sites for the visitors to be able to share the pictures from their to my site by clicking on the “SharePics” button just like the Share on Facebook button, Pin It to Pinterest

Thats actually a great concept and very useful one too. If we could do that for “Likes” ( or +1) or for “Comments” it would be great. When I say this, people immediately ask
– do I want to be another FB or Google +
– who is going to do that for my site, which i supposedly small, not well known etc

True. But there is no harm in the proof-of-concept. Having our own “Like” and “Comment” system that willing websites can share. But sigh! This is one area no php scripts have ever thought or coded, as far as I know. (If they did, FB would not have this ugly monopoly). There may be workarounds with the codes and protocols already available in wordpress (or for that matter in other scripts) but I am afraid there is no ready-made plugin available.

It maybe done by a DEV for an amount of money, I guess.

That is what is my understanding, I may be wrong. Thanks.

Hi you may check these threads – not sure if they can help you but you may consider to have a look. Have you any custom code and/or various plugins? Thanks.

If you could get it to work with wordpress using /wp-admin/press-this.php you could probably make it work with the light version of WP’s editor used for notices. Don’t know exactly what you mean by”endpoint”, but if it’s related to “target”, tought that what’s new is targeted and ajaxified, like pressthis.
But i’m not developper, so i can’t help you much for doing that.

Hi @russadams,

on any WordPress site, once a new user registers, the user is created in
the database. That’s why site admin can see him in the control panel. This is normal.

Here default WordPress registration process:

1. User registers.
2. User is shown message to check email.
3. Login credentials are sent to new user in an email.
4. User logs in to site using login credentials.
5. Admin is notified of new user sign up via email.

This doesn’t change when BP is installed, as BP doesn’t handle registration.

Guess your issue is due to browser session. Make the following test.

Create a new user from frontend.
Close the browser or clear cookie and nav history.
Don’t use activation key yet.
Reopen the browser, and see if the user can login. Normaly he can’t as he hasn’t use the activation key.

Where do you publish pictures in BuddyPress ? They’re several share plugins out with img services like pinterest or flikr. Search for them on the plugin repo.

Do you know these WP oEmbed rules ? Entering such allowed urls in the notice editor (what’s new) will work automagically.

Or maybe customize thisplugin.

Hi @dorothykbiz,

thought BP is not correctly configured.

On the left menu, the member item shows ‘Log in’ who links to wp-admin. This is not the right way for users to login when BP is activated. Better you use the login widget. It’s a contextual widget, showing different items for loggedin/logged out users. The idea behind this, is that a visitor can login without changing screen:page. All is done from the same place, which is much better and faster as going to wp-admin login page and be redirected.

Per default, you should also have a register page and an activation page.

Your actual register page is here:
rotaryeclubgreatermelbourne.org.au/register-3/

should be:
rotaryeclubgreatermelbourne.org.au/register/

Check the page admin and remove all pages from trash (-3 means that you created 2 other register page which are registered and/or trashed but not deleted). When you delete something in WordPress, it goes to Trash, but it’s not removed from server. As in real lif, you have to empty the trash to really delete it… (read here)

The activation page doesn’t seem to exist
http://rotaryeclubgreatermelbourne.org.au/activate/

To fix this issue, go to bp settings > pages and activate the register and activation pages.

Once all is correctly working, you can apply again ‘members only’ rules.

It isn’t possible ‘out-of-the-box’. There may be a plugin that does that for you but I haven’t seen one myself. I think your best bet is to search the Plugin Directory for some kind of media management plugin that works with BuddyPress and has options for limiting storage space.

Hi @numumar

You’ll need more than two templates. As an overview, you’d have a theme which would consist of a number of templates. Then you’d have your BuddyPress-specific templates.

Take a look at these articles to get started:

• https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy
• https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
• https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development

Word Press is so advanced, its kind of complicated at times.

I agree it can be complicated at times, but if you consider what you’re trying to do, then you could also say that WordPress does a lot of the heavy lifting for us 😀

Thanks @ubernaut 🙂

Is BuddyPress still be developed?

Yes it is. You can suscribe to latest dev updates at https://bpdevel.wordpress.com/ where I’ve just posted the contributors’ priorities for BP 2.3.0. If you have time, please feel free to participate in our 2015 BuddyPress Survey at https://buddypress.org/2015/02/2015-buddypress-survey/

I don’t know that plugin, sorry.

xprofile_get_field_data(2) where 2 = field id, this is not the entered value. For what do you need each member to give a number ?

The field has an ID and a value. What you need is the value, not the ID as all user use the same field ID to enter a number.

This means if field ID 2 contains 35 or other value, do something and if empty do nothing or else.

xprofile_get_field_data fetch a value, let’s say 35 (as example)

Your document has a var $entry[35] with 35 in array.

User Igor registered on the site with a user ID of 2156. Completed his profile and entered number 35. Igor’s avatar is generated by Gravatar.

What i don’t understand for the moment is the relation between the document and Igor !

The usage example given by the author let me doubt that you can bind a user in a excel tab with a BP user avatar, at least because the doc is not stored in the DB, but only screen readable.

here are some plugins you might want to check out:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-wiki-plugin/

not sure why you think it’s not very active here, there are at least a dozen posts here a day. last BP release was within the last few weeks. this is the right spot but you may want to post on the job board if you need more personal help.

I have a client using CBOX with latest BP & WP.
Works fine.

Best place to ask questions:
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commons-in-a-box
or
http://commonsinabox.org/groups/help-support/

my snippet hides buddybar items to non logged user, not BP usermenu items on Toolbar.

To do that, you have to read the codex document i indicated in one of previous post.

BuddyMenu is built a la BuddyPress. And you got support for this here.

Toolbar is built a la WordPress. WP support is here.

If you had looked a little on the forum (ie. Remove Edit My Profile), you could find this:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/remove-edit-my-profile/#post-150939

And again, the one or other code doesn’t remove BP pages, only items.

Hi @whoaloic

What do you mean by “note”?

Messages can be either public or private. Private messages work kind of like chat, and can be seen only by the ‘thread’ participants. Public message are ‘front-end’. You can public message someone by prefixing their username with the @ symbol. Public messages are also known as mentions.

Regarding favourites, see this Trac ticket for how the feature will be improved over the next few versions.

Hope this information helps.

@studdlypig
The admin user or primary user that is setup when a wordpress site installed is always able to login directly, and it’s initally only that user that can activate plugins i.e BuddyPress so I’m not sure why you are having trouble with activation requests. /wp-login.php should allow the admin to login regardless of whether BP is activated or not.

What account are you trying to login with, the admin user ID 1 ?

In the BP settings screen ‘Page’ tab what page have you associated to ‘Activation’ in the select box, as the redirect here appears to be the main issue and the WP link to login on the WP toolbar should redirect to the wp-login screen, which you can actually access directly by modifying your browser url so you can actually login as admin and manage your site.

fyi you shouldn’t have to trouble your web hosts to deactivate BP, using a control panel or ftp you can rename the plugins folder which will force a deactivation of the plugin or any plugin if they give trouble.

https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/buddypress-links-in-wordpress-menus/

You have to learn how to find what you need for customizing your site. I allready answered. So again, for such things, you have WP Codex (as detailled previously)
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Admin_Bar/add_menu

If you need features of BP then you need both, I think so.
But before that you may ask here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/paid-memberships-pro
if you can exactly do what you are asking for.

Thanks.

hi @michaelhpdx,

maybe these posts will help you ?

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/my-conditional-tags-are-not-being-respected-in-genesis/
https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/canonical/

Or maybe this snippet (intended for WP SEO at least) which removes canonical

function bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude( $canonical ) {
  global $bp;
  if ( function_exists( 'buddypress') && ( buddypress()->displayed_user->id || buddypress()->current_component ) ) {
    $canonical = false;
  }
  return $canonical;
}
add_filter( 'wpseo_canonical', 'bpfr_wpseo_canonical_exclude' );

Hi @mocmocmk

A popular plugin to manage media seems to be rtMedia. I think you can display a gallery with the [rtmedia_gallery] shortcode
