I haven’t used this plugin but it looks as though it will do what you need:

Well @DJPaul kicked it off with the initial patch based on feedback from a couple of devs on this ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4639

The codex entry needs a little additional editing and linking to my earlier page on 1.7 template compatibility.

So I’m rather new at WordPress so I think I’m missing something. I would like to accomplish basically the same thing as DKerrigan, not showing the bio field but some others. I think I can just reuse that code and change the field I want to be shown but where should I put that code? I thought I had to change groups-loop.php with the new code but that does not seem to do anything.

Thanks!

Hi,

I did this, after some digging into the $bp object after the registration form is posted. Not tested properly in the wild yet, so you might want to double check before using this. Done via WordPress 3.5.1 and BuddyPress 1.7.2.

add_filter('bp_core_signup_send_validation_email_message', 'custom_bp_change_activation_email_message');
function custom_bp_change_activation_email_message($message) {
	//	Get some globals
	global $bp, $wpdb;

	//	Get the slug of the activation page
	$slug = $bp->pages->{"activate"}->slug;

	//	Get username from the signup form just posted
	$username = $bp->signup->username;

	//	SQL query to get activation key for that username
	$sql = 'select meta_value from wp_usermeta where meta_key="activation_key" and user_id in (select ID from wp_users where user_login="' . $username . '" and user_status=2)';

	//	Getting the activation key from the database
	$activation_key = $wpdb->get_var($sql);

	//	Make activation URL
	$url = sprintf("%s/%s/?key=%s", WP_HOME, $slug, $activation_key);

	//	Custom message with activation key
	$message = "Yayy! Thanks for signing up! Please confirm your account!\n\n$url";

	return $message;
}

I’ve got this in a theme’s functions.php file, but not sure if that’s the right place for it. Would it be better in bp_custom.php?

Ta,
Alan.

It isn’t currently possible to have personal AND friend’s activity in the same activity feed. I have raised a ticket (#4988) but until then if you somehow find a way then please post here

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-multi-network/ ?

most people get this functionality by installing a membership plugin like S2

there are many more, just do a search for membership plugin wordpress in the official plugin repository or google

@mahdiar thanks for confirming the fix 🙂 I will create a trac ticket to report the issue. Cheers.

EDIT – issue posted https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5057

My problem is that i can’t create groups.
I have the groups section, i’ve even installed groups pages plugin and still can’t do it.

@minigamers Do you mean that you have no “Create a Group” button beside the Groups Directory page title as seen in this image? That button is absent when the theme developer sets the_title() outside of the WordPress loop. There’s a way to create a link to create a group if that is indeed your issue?

What groups pages plugin?

something like this? https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-user-account-type-lite/ to start off

@visualizeedits assuming you’ve found the bridge script between MyBB forum and WordPress, you would still be required to bridge MyBB with BuddyPress and Cubepoints unless you do not intend to record the activities of the members in your forums in their profile pages.

If you only need members to pay for some enhancements in their forum profiles, adding BuddyPress may be an overkill for your site. You might be better off just using s2member plugin.
