BuddyPress.org

Where are you hosted? I suggest starting from scratch. This time, do not use Fantastico but install WordPress 3.5.1 manually, i.e., s/FTP upload.

I’m not aware of a filter for this, but you can definitely over-ride wp_safe_redirect in a manner that doesn’t affect its usage otherwise, ie. check the $location and adjust if applicable.

To over-ride it, you must do so within a plugin. It’s not about actions or filters.

>Or, can I not rewrite the entire function messages_screen_compose() so that it overrides the one in buddypress, and put it in functions.php of my theme?

No. And it would be a bad idea even if you could.

xprofile_get_field_data function is provided so that you CAN use it on non-profile pages.

Use http://pastie.org/ or similar to show what you tried.

Use :
xprofile_get_field_data( “Company Name” , $member_id)
You have to supply the $member_id

If you’re on a profile page, the $member_id will be provided via bp_displayed_user_id()

Take a look at
/bp-xprofile/ -> bp-xprofile-functions.php -> xprofile_get_field_data

So ‘friend’ hasn’t actually made an attempt to work this up or if so how far did they get?

This does smack a great deal of treating the forum as a coding service!

It may be an idea to wait for 1.7 to be released then this process will be a whole lot easier.

fwiw hasn’t ”Continuum’ already been packed by @mercime?

Yep it has, OP you really need to check these things first, you should have checked the BP codex first you would have seen the link to the guide with all the work done already for you.

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.6.4/bp-themes/bp-default/members/single/profile/edit.php would normally correspond to huddle/members/single/profile/edit.php file. Since you’re using a premium theme, we have no way to know if the theme author changed the HTML structure of that page. Back up your theme’s edit.php file and watch out that when you change the PHP tags, you won’t mess up the HTML tags in return.

@indirakrishna – Chat is a huge area, and there are all kinds of solutions (some better than others) 🙂

It depends on how you need the chat plugin to function, really.

@resom Thank you for posting back what the issue was.

I would suggest that you also post at s2member’s WP forum to report this issue with current BP version so they can look into it and fix it https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/s2member

how to migrate total content from buddypress to wps with out disturbance to users and members of the website

@indirakrishna if that is your goal, then the best place to ask at their forums re migration tools, if any, from BP to WPS https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-symposium
Good luck.

@enriksen –
To ‘do’ shortcodes in different content areas, you will need to filter do_shortcode() into certain functions. See the WordPress codex for documentation on do_shortcode() https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode and add_filter: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_filter

To add it to the activity stream, you’ll want to add
`add_filter(‘bp_get_activity_content_body’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to activity content.`

Xprofile is similar:
`add_filter(‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘do_shortcode’); // Adds shortcodes to xprofile content.`

You can find a list of filters in BuddyPress in bp-{component}/bp-{component}-filters in the buddypress files.
eg: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-filters.php

Remember that this will allow all shortcodes to be used [which is why it’s not on by default], currently there is no way to pick and choose what shortcodes to allow short of using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress2-shortcode-whitelist/.

BP doesn’t seem to work at all with multisite installations of WP 3.5.1. I’ve just spent an hour clearing up the mess. The installation wizard seems to assume it’s going into a single domain wordpress installation and can’t cope with anything else.

It’s not at all suitable for multisite/multidomain installations.

Nothing to do with memory, either.

I see that you’ve also posted at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-buddypress-activity-plus-impossible-to-upload-a-picture-and-add-link-not-working

a) It could be that the Activity Plus plugin needs to be updated or
b) it is also possible that you’ve maxed out the default network settings for that blogsite. Did you get any warning of that sort?
– Go to Network Admin > Dashboard and click on Settings > Network Settings and check if there was any limitation set there in “Site Upload Space Quota” section
or
– Go to Network Admin > Sites and click on the “Edit” link below the blog/site where BP is installed i.e., where you’re using the Activity Plus plugin. Click on the Settings tab and in the panel which shows up, look to the very bottom of that page, check “Site Upload Space Quota” if it was left blank to default
c) could also be that another plugin has set the upload space quota
d) could also be just another plugin conflicting with the activity plus plugin.

@enquirer32, for your first issue you could try a plugin like https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-external-links/ and this should work exactly as you wish in conjunction with the Activity Plus plugin by opening a link in a new window with the settings properly adjusted within the plugin admin.

As for the second issue, I’m not sure as I’ve not used any of the widgetized options there before…

Hope this helps!

@mbyrne please post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-docs

I was under the impression that the point of the forum was to get help/answers to issues.

@jwf3773 Sure it is. However, holding moderators as if they were accountable for third-party plugins per your call out in topic title “HELLO?!?! Any Moderators?” is not kosher 🙂 Please do post support requests for this plugin at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bp-group-reviews
Cheers.
