Fix for (BuddyPress) Recent Networkwide Posts widget

lenastergLeave a comment

In BP 1.7.1 the (BuddyPress) Recent Networkwide Posts widget didn’t gave to the admin the option to change the widget title. See https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4982

You can fix it by  just replace the /buddypress/bp_blogs/bp-blogs-widgets.php with this

But I think, that in the next version of Buddypress the BP team will implement a better solution.

Customize profile and group menus in BuddyPress 1.5

If you want to change the initial group page from /home to for example /forum and/or change the tab order of a Buddypress group in BP 1.5. you can use the following into your theme’s  functions.php
code from Andrew Tegenkamp on http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/changing-group-tab-display-defaults/?topic_page=3&num=15
`

function redirect_group_home() {
global $bp;
$path = clean_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$path = apply_filters('bp_uri', $path);
if (bp_is_group_home() && strpos($path, $bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['slug']) === false) {
if ($bp->groups->current_group->is_user_member || $bp->groups->current_group->status == 'public') {
bp_core_redirect($path . 'forum/');
}
}
}

function move_group_tabs() {
global $bp;
if (isset($bp->groups->current_group->slug) && $bp->groups->current_group->slug == $bp->current_item) {
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['position'] = '98';
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['home']['name'] = __('Activity', 'buddypress');
}
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['admin']['position'] = '100';
$bp->bp_options_nav[$bp->groups->current_group->slug]['forum']['position'] = '10';

}

add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘redirect_group_home’);
add_action(‘bp_init’, ‘move_group_tabs’);
