BuddyPress.org

WordPress is the software behind buddyPress.
If you need custom roles&capabilities on your site, you can add roles programatically as explained on your mentionned tutorial. If it works, site admin can attribute one of the additionnal role to members, within admin.

BuddyPress, at this time, handles only member types. A member type is not a role or a capability à la WordPress, but only a way to sort better your members. In other words, a kind of a member category.

To handle such behave from front-end while registering, you can associate a xprofile field value with an existing WP role. See here for a solution (untested) provided a few month ago.

Add snippet to your child theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php and give it a try.

See here how it’s done from plugin example

@deklein – One more thing – have you taken the steps to “create a new menu” and save and all that?
the wordpress menus thing is not the most eloquent as far as UX ihmo. Sometimes you gotta select a menu from the dropdown and click select and wait.. not everyone is going to know they need to click select to actually make something happen..

@deklein – it certainly would not hurt, and would be pretty fast and easy to make a backup of your entire wordpress install (all files on server, maybe a zipped folder) – then delete your buddypress plugin and all your default themes.. reinstall a fresh 2014 theme and buddypress – activate and test. Very strange that those do not show up with all other plugins disabled while switched to 2014 theme – and you even checked screen options..

I would say before trying that I would try to mess with that menu using a different browser.. sometimes things work in firefox that do not work in chrome.. sometimes a browser plugin blocks something from loading somewhere that you may not find is an issue when using Internet Explorer..

Well, I know how to create a page with WordPress. I did not know how to do with the content of the page:the code, the form… I can manage myself now.

P/s: I am a newbie to WP and BP. Anyone has to learn and grow. I expect your instructions to help newbies like me.

Thanks,

bbPress has it’s own support forums.

As you probably know, PHP notices are not that critical.
You might try looking at the file in the notice.
I suggest you review the function and perhaps add a conditional to check if topic is empty before adding to $new_title

@bigkahunaburger,

i completed the snippet so it comes with pagination.

Here a great tutorial about pagination.

@bravenguyen,

you don’t know how to create a page with WordPress ? Hum… really ? 😉

dashboard > pages > add new.
Enter a title, save and you’re done .
Go to BP page settings and select the one you created for activate. Do the same for register.

@swissprice – There are several “chat” plugins what “work with wordpress / buddypress” – it would be easy to establish a group chat room that allows registered and non-registered users to chat with each other via the main chat room – and they can private message each other there.

As far as “begin chat with this user” – I think you would need something that says “User A” is online now – and a setting that would allow a non-registered, non-logged in person to send a “message”. I think I saw a thread a while back where someone was trying to adapt the “single user profile page” to allow guest comments, aka activity post on that profile / user’s activity page..

Not sure exactly what you are going for here.

hi @bigkahunaburger,

Give this a try (goes to bp-custom.php or child-theme functions.php)

function bpfr_get_user_comments_on_profile() {

// number of comments to show per page
define( 'DEFAULT_COMMENTS_PER_PAGE', 3 );

$page = (get_query_var('page')) ? get_query_var('page') : 1;

$limit = DEFAULT_COMMENTS_PER_PAGE;

$offset = ($page * $limit) - $limit;

$param = array(
	'user_id' 	=> bp_displayed_user_id(),
	'status'	=> 'approve',
	'offset'	=> $offset,
	'number'	=> $limit
);

$total_comments = get_comments(array(
	'orderby' => 'comment_date',
	'order'   => 'ASC',
	'status'  => 'approve',
	'parent'  => 0
));

$pages = ceil(count($total_comments)/DEFAULT_COMMENTS_PER_PAGE);
$comments = get_comments( $param );

$args = array(
	'base'         => @add_query_arg('page','%#%'),
	'format'       => '?page=%#%',
	'total'        => $pages,
	'current'      => $page,
	'show_all'     => false,
	'mid_size'     => 4,
	'prev_next'    => true,
	'prev_text'    => __('« backward'),
	'next_text'    => __('onward »'),
	'type'         => 'plain'
);

// Output pagination
 echo paginate_links( $args );
?>

<ul>
<?php

	foreach($comments as $comment) {

	// short version
	//echo '<li>'. ($comment->comment_content .'&nbsp;<a href="'. esc_url( get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) ) ).'">View post</a></li>';
	
	// long version
		echo '<li>'. ($comment->comment_content .'&nbsp;<a href="'. esc_url( get_permalink( $comment->comment_post_ID ) ) ).'">'. get_the_title( $comment->comment_post_ID ) .'</a> Comment: '. get_comment_date( '', $comment ) .'</li>';
	}
?>
</ul>
<?php

}
add_action ( 'my_profile_comment', 'bpfr_get_user_comments_on_profile' );

function bpfr_comment_profile_setup_nav() {
global $bp;

	$parent_slug = 'comments';
	$child_slug = 'comments_sub';	
	
	// Add nav item
	bp_core_new_nav_item( array(
	'name' => __( 'My comments' ),
	'slug' => $parent_slug,
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_comment_screen',
	'position' => 40,
	'default_subnav_slug' => $child_slug 
	) );
	
	//Add subnav item 	 
	bp_core_new_subnav_item( array( 
	'name' => __( 'My latest comments' ), // as content title
	'slug' => $child_slug, 
	'parent_url' => $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $parent_slug.'/', 
	'parent_slug' => $parent_slug, 
	'screen_function' => 'bpfr_profile_comment_screen'
	) );
}

		function bpfr_profile_comment_screen() {	
			add_action( 'bp_template_content', 'bpfr_profile_comment_screen_content' );
			bp_core_load_template( apply_filters( 'bp_core_template_plugin', 'members/single/plugins' ) );
		}

		function bpfr_profile_comment_screen_content() {
			do_action( my_profile_comment );
		}

add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bpfr_comment_profile_setup_nav' );

To do the same for user’s post, see here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/creating-a-custom-tab-that-takes-in-the-info-from-wp-recent-posts/

– it’s the (or one of the) “default” wp themes ( https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyfourteen/ )
about the only way you will get any kind of support with bp or / and rtmedia..

it’s not the easiest thing to mod – but at least it works, and bp has some stylesheets included that massage it into something better than the average theme for some bp pages..

I finally got deep into it to style some changes at the various media queries / screen sizes..

btw – did you try changing your premium themes style.css to those changes to see if they work?

if you search the bp forums for other premium themes you will see that even ones selling as “the best or the most popular buddypress theme” – seem to have issues and lack good support.. search the forums for “kleo” for example – lol

I am sticking with twenty fourteen ’till things mature a bit (recent changes in wp and bp have made things complex in some ways) –

may be it’s a permalink issue. Try editing your htaccess file.
