BuddyPress.org

When my users want to upload a video it would automatically be uploaded to the sites YouTube Channel and would then automatically be available in either the WordPress default video player or a custom video player. Is there such a plugin?

I read this thread with some interest and see that there are recommendations to use a Premium Plugin to accomplish this.

I have a development in progress. I have developed a custom child theme using the Genesis Framework. I’ve successfully integrated buddypress with this theme. I am using X-profiles and registration is handled and managed by Wishlist Member. I have since determined that WooCommerce is the best tool for my client and the software slid right into the mix with no problems at all.

The above mentioned premium plugin does not appear to function with X-Profiles, and X-Profiles was the method that I used to secure details of the profile at the member’s choice.

What I’m wondering is maybe something I should be asking at Woo but why haven’t any of you tried the “simple” solution of using the wordpress do_shortcode function to add the shortcodes to the templates where you want that code to show? I added the [woocommerce_my_account] shortcode to the general.php template which was copied into the child theme folder (bp-legacy template) and it works just fine. Am I missing something?

@willandmae first time I’ve heard about BP Group Extras causing this kind of issue. Have you tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress, bbPress and BP Group Extras to confirm that BP Groups Extras is causing the issues? If it is, please post at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-groups-extras to report it to the plugin author.

@p91 https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-album/ has not been updated since late last year so and I believe it was compatible with the bp default theme. You’d need to find another album/gallery plugin for your installation.

@chrisss1 How exactly did you enable pretty permalinks in your Windows server? Not going to work with BP if you just append index.php to the URL. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks#Permalinks_without_mod_rewrite

@rigormortis_uk glad you were persistent and resolved the group forums issue 🙂

I’m running WordPress 3.5.1, bbpress 2.3.2 and buddypress 1.8.1

I suggest updating your bbPress installation to version 2.4.1 as I remember that issue was fixed in the bbPress Trac sometime after bbPress 2.3.2. Also, I recommend updating your WP installation to the latest version as well. Of course, please back up before updating.

@willandmae download BuddyPress https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/
unzip in your hard drive and upload via s/FTP to your plugins directory folder in server

one of the plugins I wish would work just doesnt but when I deactivate it still must leave something behind because certain things like the submit button and other things gets messed up.

Which plugin was it?

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
/*

*/

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

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 );
