Make your own custom BuddyPress page, slug, and template file

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/make-your-own-custom-buddypress-page

I once posted a forum article about having profile information in the registration-mail to the admin, when a new member registers. We couldn’t accomplish that, but a friend of mine made it possible to have a direct link to the members-profile. That’s one click away and helps me very much, so that I don’t have to search for them. Here is the code, just put it in a php-file and in the mu-plugins folder:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: My Register Form

Description: Customisations for the Registration Form

Version: 0.1

Author: Marc Cawood

*/



// Custom Message in Registration Mail

add_filter( 'newuser_notify_siteadmin', 'my_newuser_notify_siteadmin');



function my_newuser_notify_siteadmin($msg) {

global $current_site;

// Extract member name

$member = substring_between($msg, ': ', "n");

// Link to member profile

$member_url = clean_url("http://{$current_site->domain}{$current_site->path}members/".$member."/profile");

return $msg . "nn" . $member_url;

}



function substring_between($haystack,$start,$end) {

$start_position = strpos($haystack,$start)+strlen($start);

$end_position = strpos($haystack,$end);

return substr($haystack,$start_position,$end_position-$start_position);

}



?>

It’s a great idea but just remember that the member directory, as it works now, alphabetizes by username so you will render that useless…for now

@nickbwatson Duh. You’re right. I head my head somewhere else. What I meant to say was it screws up the new Mention feature which makes use of the @username model.

BP 1.2 Default Theme – Set the Activity Stream as front page, blog posts on another page:

1) Login to the WP backend, navigate to “Pages > Add New”. Create an empty, new page called “News” or “Blog” or whatever you want. This page will contain the blog updates.

2) Under “Settings > Reading”, set front page to “Activity Stream” and your posts page to the new page that you just created.

r-a-y, is there any way to get comments on blog and forum posts (in the BP activity pages) to actually add the comment to the WP blog post or as a reply to the forum post? This would be SO useful. The way it works now is that your user’s comments end up staying only within the BP activity stream and don’t get reflected on your actual main website (blog)! Disabling it prevents that, but also removes the convenience of user’s being able to comment globally from a single place on their BP activity stream pages.

I have to believe this *should* be a pretty easy plugin to develop (depending on how modular the WP and BP code is around this), but would much rather see this built into BP core. I already have a dozen WP plugins that I feel are essential for any blog and as I look to roll out BP, that’s going to add many more. I’m tapping out a dedicated server as it is and all these hooks and plugins and template tags and such require some seriously beefy hardware.

is there a way to get the member id in a member loop?

<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member(); ?>

<input value="<?php bp_member_id(); ?>" name="ids[]"> ids </input>

<?php endwhile; ?>

bp_member_id() is not working, is there a way to achieve this?

otherwise i would have to match the members with their name when doing the database query, and that can be a long string which takes too long to evaluate when compared to an int.

i guess the answer to this question will be an obvious one, as soon as i read it, but right now i am confused

good bye and thanks for all the fish

Help! There’s no register button on my BuddyPress site!

If you’re using standard WP, login to the WP admin area, navigate to “Settings > General”, and make sure “Anyone can register” is checked.

If you’re using WPMU, login to the WPMU admin area, navigate to “Site Admin > Options”, and under “Allow new registrations”, select any option but “Disabled”.

BuddyPress isn’t sending out emails (eg. activation emails, email notifications)

This appears to be a problem with certain web hosts (Bluehost primarily).

Members of the BP community have had success using the “Mail From” plugin:
