You can disable the xProfile component and there shouldn’t be any ill effects associated with doing that. You obviously won’t get that functionality but of course you’re free to use the WordPress-based usermeta to store profile data instead.

You could try the BuddyPress Ideas forum:

You might also want to exclude hidden groups, just as the default group count function does. For example:

status != 'hidden'

Cool idea. I haven’t seen a plugin which can do this myself. Did you check the Plugin Directory?

Considering you need to use a custom where clause to get your data, you should do what @shanebp suggests here:

Just make it a custom function that you call wherever you want.

My tweak only makes sense when a simple adjustment to $count is needed.

are there any guidelines for issue posting?

Anything that you think may help the core team really. Usually a list of steps describing how to reproduce the problem is super useful. Also, as much info about your setup as you can such as plugins activated, theme, whether you use multisite, which browser you use and so on.

Whilst notifications is a BuddyPress component, it’s actually bbPress that handles this particular notification via their bbp_buddypress_add_notification() function. If you pass the following link to the bbPress guys, they should be able to take it from here.

3 reports in 3 weeks sounds as though there could be an issue here. Can you open a ticket on Trac?

You can use the same username and password that you use here in the forum to log in. Please provide as much background info as you can regarding your setup.

Inside the function, there’s a bp_get_total_group_count filter hook which can be used. Something like this as an example:

function my_group_count_filter( $count ) {
// Do something with $count here.
return $count;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_total_group_count' ,'my_group_count_filter' );

Oh, and you’ll need preg_match().

Would it be easiest to search for any text preceded by a “@”?

Yeah that’s a good idea. The regex pattern you’ll need will be something like @[0-9a-Z_-]+. That will find within the activity item’s text all strings that begin with an @ character which is followed by one or more lowercase or uppercase characters, including numbers and the – and _ c…[Read more]

Right, I see! I’m thinking you’ll need to use a regular expression to get the mentioned user’s username from the activity item’s text. Then you can do a user lookup using that username. From there you’ll have everything you need to know about the mentioned user.

echo bp_member_user_id(); will output the user ID. How are you outputting the 35, 170 cm part?

Do you mean grab the username and avatar of @-mentioned users for a) activity items already posted or b) new activity items going forward?

Hi @goakes

Yes that’s right, you can copy and paste the code into your child theme’s functions.php file.

There’s currently also 29 themes in the WordPress Theme Dir tagged “BuddyPress”. See here. I’m not sure if any of these will be different to the themes you’ve seen already at BP Inspire, but it’s worth taking a look 🙂
