BuddyPress.org

The plugin i posted was a guide line, place this somewhere within your theme: http://pastebin.com/JLjMynR0

If the user is logged in, it will show up. It is a link to the users @Mentions

WP themes which are updated to latest WP versions like Twenty Ten and Twenty Eleven plus BuddyPress’ own bp-default theme have custom menu functions you’ll find in Appearance > Menus.

Just create a link named “Community” and add whatever links you want under it.
e.g. for bp-default theme or its child theme https://codex.buddypress.org/extending-buddypress/how-to-set-up-your-main-site-navigation-using-the-built-in-wordpress-menus/

@hornet1968 if you’re using a WP theme, you also need to install/activate the BP Template Pack plugin and go through Appearance > BP compatibility process. We have a list of “template-packed” WP theme near the bottom of this page https://codex.buddypress.org/theme-development/wordpress-to-buddypress-theme/

User levels were replaced by roles in WP 2.0, and were deprecated in 3.0 — so, checking wp_user_level and such like shouldn’t be relied on

https://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels

hi,,

global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$userLevel = $current_user->wp_user_level;

switch ($userLevel){
//https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
case 0: $_SESSION = 2; break; // member
case 1: $_SESSION = 2; break; // Contributor
case 2: $_SESSION = 1; break; // author
case 3: $_SESSION = 1; break; // author
case 4: $_SESSION = 2; break;
case 5: $_SESSION = 2; break;
case 6: $_SESSION = 2; break;
case 7: $_SESSION = 2; break;
case 8: $_SESSION = 0; break;
case 9: $_SESSION = 0; break;
case 10: $_SESSION = 0; break; // admin
default: $_SESSION = 3; // guest
}

and read this https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

This was from a plugin I developed for a site, you should find just about everything you need in there, and if not have enough of an understanding to fill in any ones that aren’t covered: http://pastebin.com/xC1jd4vv

next time wait a day, I’d say that’s the average response time, if it’s sooner, be grateful!

Are you being serious? You are asking just 1 hour later, why no-one has responded to your question?

You can’t add conditional menus / menu options via the WordPress menu settings in wp-admin.

If you want conditional menus, and those with PHP driven dynamic links (e.g. changing for the current user), you will have to code them in your header / navigation templates.

Are you using a plugin to create your user levels? If so, which one? WordPress supports roles and capabilities for users by default, but doesn’t have numeric levels.

If s2member have a look at their documentation for if queries on member level.

@b1gft there are a couple of simple ways to go about deleting “freshness” from group forums

1. Simplest of the rest -> Just add the following at the bottom of your theme’s style.css file
`span.time-since { display: none !important; }`

or 2. Copy over https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/1.5.6/bp-themes/bp-default/forums/forums-loop.php to your themes /forums folder, open it up and delete line #85

or 3. filter bp_the_topic_time_since_last_post in functions.php

You can adapt a theme to work with BuddyPress, your first port of call for that is to use this https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Hi, have you checked if the latest pack on Suffiusion supports the latest WordPress/BuddyPress? I see this:

WordPress 3.0 or higher
Suffusion 3.6.8 or higher.
BuddyPress 1.2 or higher

To me, that may be the issue is that it is not compatible. I’d probably suggest contacting the pack authors to confirm.

Hi, @raminjan you can certainly achieve that, both making it yourself working at code level or (what I suggest) start with a plugin that achieves the “private community” functionality and set yourself a “front page” (you’ll use a modified version of the login page I guess ).

Here are some helpful links on how to do what you need:

Hope it helps! cheers,

And if someone could be extra kind and create a trac ticket for this over at https://BuddyPress.trac.WordPress.org — be sure to link back to this discussion — I’ll be your BFF.

It’s straightforward to do in BuddyPress – @hotsitez has already pointed you to the basic function for echoing profile field values (which is also documented in member-header.php), and I’ve told you which files you need to look at.

As a PHP coder, you should be able to walk through those files to find the appropriate points in the code to hook actions in or modify your templates. You should also be able to search the BuddyPress codebase to find profile field functions you can call — start with the one @hotsitez gave you.

You can also look on the documentation (codex) area of this site for information about the profile field loop which may help you further – and point you to how base and other profile field groups are handled.

[Edit: and, if you want to learn about the action, filtering paradigm for development, you can find introductory articles on the wordpress.org codex]
