BuddyPress.org

Wow, I typed that like I have a head injury.. sorry

I have a hidden group setup with its own discussion forum; the forum works fine but any topic posted in it is listed in the bbpress “recent topics” widget even though they are hidden/private.

Is there a way to fix this? I’ve tried running the repair tools located at:

http://……/wp-admin/tools.php?page=bbp-repair
“Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships”

However this says nothing has been repaired or changed and the problem remains.

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1, bbpress 2.3.2 and buddypress 1.8.1 (problem happened in 1.7 as well)

damn it – badly formated the code – try this:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: XProfile to username
Plugin URI: http://
Description: Created for a specific project, this plugin copies a field from the user's Xprofile to their username, ensuring first that it is unique by adding a  digit to te end
Version: 0.1

*/

function xprofile_to_username($xp) {
	global $wpdb;

	$field_id = BP_XProfile_Field::get_id_from_name('Name/Company Name');
	if(!$field_id || $xp==null) {
		return;
	}
	if($field_id == $xp->field_id) { // cover me, I'm going in
		$new_username=strtolower(preg_replace('/[^\w\d]/','-', $xp->value));
		$existing_user_by_that_username=get_user_by('login', $new_username);
		if($existing_user_by_that_username && ($existing_user_by_that_username->ID !== $xp->user_id )) { // another user already has that login
			$i=1;
			while(get_user_by('login', $new_username."-$i")) {
				$i+=1;
			}
			$new_username.="-$i";
		}
		$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array('user_login' => $new_username), array('ID' => $xp->user_id));
		return;
	}	
}
add_action('xprofile_data_after_save','xprofile_to_username');

?>

Well I have a plugin – except that I can’t be arsed to release it as a plugin at the moment so I’ll just cut&paste the code here.

2 things:
1. it doesn’t replace the wp-email-login plugin or the login for hack above – it adds to them by simply forcing the username to be the same a field pulled from the Xprofile.
2. It’s hardwired to a specific field name in @applegateian’s project. You’ll need to edit the code to use your own field name because, like I say, I haven’t got time to turn it into a proper plugin. When I find the enthusiasm to do it properly I’ll create a plugin settings menu and stuff.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: XProfile to username

function xprofile_to_username($xp) {

global $wpdb;

$field_id = BP_XProfile_Field::get_id_from_name(‘Name/Company Name’);

	if(!$field_id || $xp==null) {

return;

	}

if($field_id == $xp->field_id) { // cover me, I’m going in

		$new_username=strtolower(preg_replace('/[^\w\d]/','-', $xp->value));

$existing_user_by_that_username=get_user_by(‘login’, $new_username);

		if($existing_user_by_that_username && ($existing_user_by_that_username->ID !== $xp->user_id )) { // another user already has that login

$i=1;

			while(get_user_by('login', $new_username."-$i")) {

$i+=1;

			}

$new_username.=”-$i”;

		}

$wpdb->update($wpdb->users, array(‘user_login’ => $new_username), array(‘ID’ => $xp->user_id));

		return;

}

}

add_action(‘xprofile_data_after_save’,’xprofile_to_username’);

?>

Just put this is a file called xprofile-to-username.php in a folder called xprofile-to-username, activate it and Bob’s your uncle. Every time the user’s profile gets updated, their username will mirror the xprofile field (with hyphen instead of funny characters and numbers to remove any duplicates).

Enjoy.

hi @jaxdestroyer,

play with these example snippets (goes into theme’s functions.php) and see what you can do with it.

Good luck!

/* remove the comment menu */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('comments'); // change to your need
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); */

/* add links/menus to the admin bar */

function bpfr_admin_bar_render() {
	global $wp_admin_bar;
	$wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array(
	'parent' => 'new-content', // use 'false' for a root menu, or pass the ID of the parent menu
	'id' => 'new_media', // link ID, defaults to a sanitized title value
	'title' => __('Media'), // link title
	'href' => admin_url( 'media-new.php') // name of file
	'meta' => false // array of any of the following options: array( 'html' => '', 'class' => '', 'onclick' => '', target => '', title => '' );
	));
	}
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'bpfr_admin_bar_render' ); 

/* another example */
function bpfr_custom_myaccount_nav( $wp_admin_bar ) {
global $bp;

	// remove the Settings item and the attached sub menu
	$wp_admin_bar->remove_node('my-account-settings');
	
    // add My notifications settings as separate item
   $args = array(
		'id' => 'my-account-settings-notifications',
		'title' => 'Notifications Settings',
	//	'parent' => 'my-account',
		'parent' => 'my-account-messages',
	//	'meta' => array('class' => 'menupop')	
		'meta' => array('class' => 'ab_sub_wrapper')		
		); 
    $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args); 	

}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'bpfr_custom_myaccount_nav',100 );

Some other examples here

@tse11 Check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-login-redirect/

I’ve noticed under permalinks wordpress is complaining about access to the .htaccess file

@rigormortis_uk Did you change to a new theme or add any new plugins recently? Revert to old theme or Twenty Twelve theme and deactivate all other plugins except BuddyPress and bbPress then run Settings > Permalinks again.

@synaptic There is a great tutorial on this here:

http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/

@kvschwartz
I had a similar requriement and adding the above specified code in bp-custom.php caused login &log out problem with admin user. As an alternative step,I added the same code in wordpress/wp-config.php – in the bottom of the page, just below the following line:-
/*that’s all,stop editing!Happy blogging.*/
Hope this helps.

We saw your bug report and left an initial response on the ticket at https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5208.

We need a bit more information to work on this issue. Thanks!

https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress/tags/1.8/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/css/default.css

Only use the css from below 6.0 BuddyPress. Before using it place #buddypress before each style declaration. This ensures it will only effect BuddyPress specific HTML. You may still need to edit or remove styles because this is based on BP-default and not the new template files.

#activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}

becomes

#buddypress #activity-stream {
margin-top: -5px;
}

@bassjobsen

You can use Trac if you need to report a bug in BP core:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/

With reference to (2), you could always remove the action then enqueue the script you want.

remove_action( 'wp_head', bp_core_confirmation_js', 100 );

bp columns will not work well with current BuddyPress, you can now use any 3 column WordPress theme.

But won’t WordPress USERS, who are not showing up as BuddyPress MEMBERS, be activated as MEMBERS once they login for the first time?

THanks for the link!

I’ve installed it but my WordPress users are not listed as “pending”. They only show up under the ‘users’ tab in the admin dashboard.

Is there a way to change them to “pending’?

Thanks!

@fel3000 @robg48
You can activate users using that method. However I would advise backing up the database before doing these edits. Even after activating a user this way they still will not show up in the members directory until they login the first time. Instead of fiddling around in the database why not just use a plugin to activate users:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-pending-activations/

@boonebgorges How can I show “username not available” message on mouse out from the field instead of clicking submit button and then check.
– Registration page(website.com/register.php), BP-Default child theme, Buddypress 1.8, wordpress 3.6.1

@husdom

You don’t need the media="all" bit.

Also it is better not to repeat properties that stay the same so:

#buddypress div.item-list-tabs#subnav {
background: #0E0C0C;
}

Should work.

It certainly works in chrome on your website. Do you see it in chrome?

I don’t know what you mean by your ‘theme css box’? If you mean that your theme has an option to add ‘raw’ css then it may be added before other style sheets / rules and therefore over-ridden, but I can’t diagnose that from here.

This should go at the end of your child theme’s style.css file – To over-rule earlier properties. If your theme doesn’t enable child theme’s then it should go at the end of the theme’s style.css but that is sub-optimal.

Unless it has been disabled you should be able to add this in the editor area of your WordPress’ admin’s appearance section although it would be better done in a text editor and the style.css uploaded via ftp.

You can probably get some useful info from the below tutorial:
http://wpmu.org/how-to-build-a-facebook-style-members-only-wordpress-buddypress-site/
Just take the parts you need from it. Good luck!
