@namrons,

FYI – bp 1.2: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1909

Also some other tickets about private content and visibility:

the last activity of the member you’re asking was 1 year, 11 mounth ago.
and BuddyPress is now on 2.0 cycle.

Post is now closed.

@lmolenje,

BuddyPress works together with the bbPress plugin when you use a forum.

If you want to add an extra button or a link or whatever, you simply check for the hook you want to use in one of the bbPress template files (bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/…) and attach a custom function to it.

As example of use, this snippet will add some text above the topic editor. You add it into your child theme functions.php or into bp-custom.php

function my_test_insert() {
	echo '<strong>My awesome <a href="#">link</a> to third party app</strong>';
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_notices', 'my_test_insert' );

If you don’t understand what’s going on on this topic, here’s a brief tutorial about hooks and filters.

@bloodslayer,

by default, WP users cannot publish pages, but only post.
See here for roles and capabilities.

A Premium plugin exist who let you do this, FormidablePro, also avaible in a free version. More here.

And to add a FB like button, search on the plugin repo.

Hi @bloodslayer

wp_insert_post() is a function provided by WordPress which lets developers add pages to the database without the need to access the WP admin area.

So, as an example, you could use it like this:

$post = array(
    'post_content' => 'This is some content',
    'post_name' => 'this-is-the-page-slug',
    'post_title' => 'I am the title of this page',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'post_type' => 'page',
    'post_excerpt' => 'This is the excerpt'
);

$post_id = wp_insert_post( $post );

Notes: $post_id will be the ID of the new page or if wp_insert_post() failed (for whatever reason) it will be 0.

So that’s how you create a new page programmatically. It’s more of a WordPress thing than a BuddyPress thing.

I’m not really sure what button you are looking. Is it something like this kind of plugin?

In the absence of a plugin, you would need to create a front-end form and a server-side processing script which makes use of wp_insert_post().

@natb19,

you jumped in a post started over 4 years ago ! Do you really expect to reuse a snippet given over 3 years back, without having any issue ?

Big changes came up between BP 1.0 and 2.0.2. The most change is that Notification is now a component and not a simple functionnality.

Please open a new topic or give a try to
BuddyPress Notification Manager. A bit old too, but it is already working with current BP.

The NL translation is on Glotpress and the translation you need to put on your server is buddypress-nl_NL.mo

You can find many other related topics if you search a little on the forum.

@hk12onos Did you ever manage to fix this? I know it’s an old post but I have the identical issue when commenting on updates of a private group. I’ve tried it on various themes/versions of WordPress/versions of Buddypress and I get the same result.

http://code.tutsplus.com/articles/quick-tip-making-a-fancy-wordpress-register-form-from-scratch–net-11904

etc

Is it a fresh instal you working on ? Are you on a local server ?
If you test only with a private group, nothing will appear publicly.

Assuming all active components have all their dedicated pages and that you set pretty permalinks an use Twenty Fourteen.

If so, install BP Default Data which will install 50 fake members, groups and many other things and see if you get a result.

Hi @doremdou
BP group activities notifier perhaps ?

There is also Buddypress Notification Manager which make this for groups

• A member invites you to join a group
• Group information is updated
• You are promoted to a group administrator or moderator
• A member requests to join a private group for which you are an admin

it does not send notifications when SOMEONE JOINS the group and I need it
You need it ? Well, but that isn’t enough !
Who should receive the notif ?

Both are old, and the 2nd is still working with 2.0.2.

@mooieautosnl,

buddypress doesn’t handle the blog(s), it only show them à la BP.
BP comes up with some witget and you can activate them from the widget dashboard. The most relevant, even if he doesn’t exclusively handle author’s post, is Recently active members, who let you choose from 3 different filters: active, recent, popular.

You can also search on the WP plugin repo if a more accurate plugin exist

Thanks so much for your response! First I created bp-custom.php and pasted define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true ); into it, then I put it in my plugins folder, and I got the same 404 except this text was across the top of the page:

define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true );
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/33/(database here)/htdocs/(mywordpressfolder)/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:1) in /homepages/33/(database here)/htdocs/(mywordpressfolder)/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1121

By sheer luck I recognized that the ‘ and ‘ were the curly ones, and I had JUST read about that last week, so I deleted the apostrophe’s and typed them in myself in notepad++, crossing my fingers. But when I saved and ftp’d the new file, I had the same thing across the top, just with the fixed code!

define( 'BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE', true );
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /homepages/33/(database here)/htdocs/(mywordpressfolder)/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:1) in /homepages/33/(database here)/htdocs/(mywordpressfolder)/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1121

I went and took a peek at pluggagle.php, line 1121, and it is the third line up from this:

	/**
	 * Filter the redirect status code.
	 *
	 * @since 2.3.0
	 *
	 * @param int    $status   Status code to use.
	 * @param string $location The path to redirect to.
	 */
	$status = apply_filters( 'wp_redirect_status', $status, $location );

	if ( ! $location )
		return false;

	$location = wp_sanitize_redirect($location);

	if ( !$is_IIS && php_sapi_name() != 'cgi-fcgi' )
		status_header($status); // This causes problems on IIS and some FastCGI setups

	header("Location: $location", true, $status);

	return true;
}
endif;

So 1121 is this bit: header("Location: $location", true, $status);

That block of code is just above “Sanitizes a URL for use in a redirect”, using function wp sanitize redirect.

Not sure if any of that points to any clear problem, but it’s pretty much Greek to me 🙁

but I want to add more users for testing … I looked at the ‘Demo Data Creater’ plugin

@simple-man check out https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-default-data/
The number of users and groups created are limited so it’s much easier to delete test users by batch in wp-admin/users.php later

@mjc82in I think you still need to install https://wordpress.org/plugins/genesis-connect-for-buddypress/ for theme compatibility.

hi @vivis,

try with this function <?php bp_notifications_toolbar_menu ?>
Read also the documentation of your Premium theme (Kleo) about menu and the WP codex on how to add toolbar menus and sub menus.

https://codex.wordpress.org/Toolbar

Prior to BP 1.7, last_activity was stored usermeta.
Now it is stored in the activity table, (although you may see it still in usermeta for legacy purposes).

Moving it to the activity table resulted in much improved performance.
You’ll probably see similar results.

also – sometimes 2 queries are faster than one massive one with multiple joins, ands, ors.

also 2 – Have you studied this?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-profile-search/
It’s been around for several years and the query has become more efficient with each release.
