I haven’t seen any movement on it. I ended up doing a hack. In my theme’s bp template, I checked (in php) if it’s an invitation button then render a direct link instead of bp_nouveau_groups_loop_buttons()

hi vapvarun and thank you for replying back (: ,

i tried to write a code to override the main template – and i make the script run as a plugin
here what i did

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: PAGTEM
Plugin URI: https://www.example.com
Version: 0.0.1
Author: NULL
Author URI: https://www.example.com
*/

class PageTemplate {

	/**
	 * A reference to an instance of this class.
	 */
	private static $instance;

	/**
	 * The array of templates that this plugin tracks.
	 */
	protected $templates;

	/**
	 * Returns an instance of this class.
	 */
	public static function get_instance() {

		if ( null == self::$instance ) {
			self::$instance = new PageTemplate();
		}

		return self::$instance;

	}

	/**
	 * Initializes the plugin by setting filters and administration functions.
	 */
	private function __construct() {

		$this->templates = array();

		// Add a filter to the attributes metabox to inject template into the cache.
		if ( version_compare( floatval( get_bloginfo( 'version' ) ), '4.7', '<' ) ) {

			// 4.6 and older
			add_filter(
				'page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args',
				array( $this, 'register_project_templates' )
			);

		} else {

			add_filter(
				'theme_page_templates', array( $this, 'add_new_template' )
			);

		}

		// Add a filter to the save post to inject out template into the page cache
		add_filter(
			'wp_insert_post_data',
			array( $this, 'register_project_templates' )
		);

		// template assigned and return it's path
		add_filter(
			'template_include',
			array( $this, 'view_project_template')
		);

		$this->templates = array(	
			'FullC.php' => 'Full Canvas',
			// this file exist in the same folder as the plugin like that 

		/* Plugin Template ( Folder ) ========
		 		  |
		 		  |
		 		  |
		 	Index.php (file)
		 	FullC.php (file) 
	================			*/

		);

	}

	/**
	 * Adds template to the page dropdown for v4.7+
	 *
	 */
	public function add_new_template( $posts_templates ) {
		$posts_templates = array_merge( $posts_templates, $this->templates );
		return $posts_templates;
	}

	/**
	 * Adds our template to the pages cache in order to trick WordPress
	 * into thinking the template file exists where it doens't really exist.
	 */
	public function register_project_templates( $atts ) {

		// Create the key used for the themes cache
		$cache_key = 'page_templates-' . md5( get_theme_root() . '/' . get_stylesheet() );

		// Retrieve the cache list.
		// If it doesn't exist, or it's empty prepare an array
		$templates = wp_get_theme()->get_page_templates();
		if ( empty( $templates ) ) {
			$templates = array();
		}

		// New cache, therefore remove the old one
		wp_cache_delete( $cache_key , 'themes');

		$templates = array_merge( $templates, $this->templates );

		// Add the modified cache to allow WordPress to pick it up for listing
		// available templates
		wp_cache_add( $cache_key, $templates, 'themes', 1800 );

		return $atts;

	}

	/**
	 * Checks if the template is assigned to the page
	 */
	public function view_project_template( $template ) {
		// Return the search template if we're searching (instead of the template for the first result)
		if ( is_search() ) {
			return $template;
		}

		global $post;

		// Return template if post is empty
		if ( ! $post ) {
			return $template;
		}

		// Return default template
		if ( ! isset( $this->templates[get_post_meta(
			$post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true
		)] ) ) {
			return $template;
		}

		// Allows filtering of file path
		$filepath = apply_filters( 'page_templater_plugin_dir_path', plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) );

		$file =  $filepath . get_post_meta(
			$post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true
		);

		// check if the file exist first
		if ( file_exists( $file ) ) {
			return $file;
		} else {
			echo $file;
		}

		// Return template
		return $template;

	}

}
add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( 'PageTemplate', 'get_instance' ) );

now if you go to
Pages > Edit xor Add New Page > Page Attributes > A New Section Called Templates > I Click On the Full Canvas > [UPDATED]

Nothing Changed (:
Why’s Is That – Is There’s Wrong With The Code Or The Buddypress V that i use ?

i use ==> Version 6.3.0 | By The BuddyPress Community

P.S: I’m using wordpress 5.6–de_DE & Buddypress Version 7.1.0. I hope that helps?

Hi,
thank you for your reply,
I am newly in wordpress, could you tell me where will I insert this script ?
thanks!

Thanks @shanebp, but I think I’m not getting the right id, it should match with WordPress user id?

Thanks for your tests (and your wishes) @alersn 👌

I’ll try to explain what’s happening in your case and I believe it also concerns most people using a plugin that is managing Group or Member types. First, I had to handle a similar case for a plugin I’ve build to manage Member Types years ago.

These kind of plugins had to make a choice about how to ensure type properties persistency, because when BuddyPress introduced the feature only registering Types using custom code was possible. For instance, I chose a regular WordPress option. BP Create Group Type chose to use a Custom Post Type. So most Group Type properties like the one to show checkboxes into the Group create screen are saved as post metas.

In 7.0.0, as BP Types are custom taxonomies, we decided to use term metas to store these properties. This means, properties are not saved at the same place, that’s why you’re experiencing this issue.

I agree it’s not great for user experience to have 2 group types menu into the admin and have 2 different ways to manage Type properties: it’s confusing. Ideally, these kind of plugins should alternatively:
a. disable Group Types menu generated by BuddyPress.
b. use a specific upgrade routine when the plugin is used with BuddyPress 7.0.0.

I chose b. for my plugin 😉 because I believe it’s important to enjoy the improvements brought by BuddyPress. It’s standardizing how Type properties are saved, and it will avoid users to be stuck with a BP Plugin (that might have dropped its support) in the long term.

If BuddyPress plugin developers are interested about how I’ve migrated the Member Types properties my plugin was using so it now uses the BuddyPress way, here’s a gist about it:

Best wishes to you too 🎉
