BuddyPress xProfile Groups and Fields

The theme uses the BuddyPress xProfile groups and fields to allow site members to enter information about themselves, like bio, personal, interests, social links and account information.

To be able to show each xProfile field group and its respective fields in different settings pages and widgets in the members profiles, the theme has to query them by their name.

This creates problems if users need to edit group or field names for translations purposes, as the theme won't be able to find and display the group or field information if the name is not the one it is expecting.

To solve this and allow users to translate them, we have included a new customizer section with this update ("Vikinger Settings" -> "xProfile Groups / Fields").

To understand how to edit the profile groups and fields for translation purposes, we need to detail how the theme uses the group names.

xProfile group names consist of a prefix part (i.e. "Profile") followed by an underscore (_) followed by the subgroup name ("Bio"): "Profile_Bio".

The prefix part (in this example "Profile") is used to identify on which settings page the group and all its fields will be displayed in, to allow members to edit their information:

- "Profile" prefix: groups and fields display on the member profile info settings screen (Profile_Bio, Profile_Personal, Profile_Interests).

- "Social" prefix: groups and fields display on the member social settings screen (Social_Links).

- "Account" prefix: groups and fields display on the member account info settings screen (Account_Info).

The prefix part of the xProfile group names shouldn't be changed, otherwise the sub groups and fields won't display correctly in the settings pages.

The subgroup name part (in this example "Bio") is used to identify on which member profile page widget the subgroup fields are going to be displayed in (in this case, the "About Me" widget).

This subgroup in particular also has a special case with its "About" xprofile field, which is displayed differently from the other fields (text only at the top of the widget after the title).

With this update, users can now edit all subgroup names from the backend "Users" -> "Profile Fields" page to translate them and then enter that same name on the respective customizer "Vikinger Settings" -> "xProfile Groups / Fields" option.

This allows the theme to query the subgroup using the new name and display the information correctly on each widget.

As we mentioned before, the "Profile_Bio" "About" field is a special case and if changed, its new name has to be entered in the customizer.

Any other xProfile field names can be changed and will display correctly without the need to enter their new names in the customizer.

To summarize:

- xProfile group name prefix shouldn't be changed.

- xProfile subgroup names can be changed to translate them, but the new subgroup name has to be entered in the respective customizer "Vikinger Settings" -> "xProfile Groups / Fields" option.

- Any xProfile field names can be changed to translate them without further changes, except the "Profile_Bio" "About" field whose new name has to be entered in the respective customizer "Vikinger Settings" -> "xProfile Groups / Fields" option.

GamiPress Integration Improvements

- Achievement, Rank and Point activities are now displayed on activity lists if enabled on the GamiPress options.

- Individual Achievement and Rank pages linked through the new supported activities are now enabled and display information about the respective achievement or rank.

- BuddyPress actions for the following triggers have been revised and are now called appropriately when the respective action is complete:

- Change profile avatar

- Change cover image

- Update profile information

- Promoted to group moderator/administrator

- Promote another group member to moderator/administrator

Theme Setup Improvements

The theme plugin installer now allows for customized or preset installs. This allows users to keep their plugins up to date by using the theme installer even if they don't want to use a particular plugin, avoiding to have a plugin forcefully installed and having to uninstall it when updating core theme plugins.

Custom preset allows you to manually select which plugins you want to install and saves your configuration, while other presets feature preconfigured plugin combinations that automatically select the required plugins for each particular preset.

The last selected preset is saved and used by default when opening the setup page.

The following presets are now available:

- Custom

- Community

- Community + Gamification

- Community + Forum

- Community + Gamification + Forum

Added the following plugins to the theme installer:

- Verified Member for BuddyPress

- BP Better Messages

- GamiPress - bbPress Integration

The theme plugin installer doesn't uninstall or deactivate any plugins, so if you want to change from a preset that has more plugins to one that has fewer, you will need to manually deactivate or uninstall any plugins that you don't want to use.

Child Theme Improvements

Added the "languages/" directory and enabled the loading of the child theme translation files on its "functions.php" file. You can now put your translation files on the child theme "languages/" directory, without having to make any changes to the "functions.php" file, and they will be loaded before the parent theme ones (you need to be using the child theme for this to work, this means you need to have it installed and active in your WordPress backend -> "Appearance" menu).

Most parent theme functions can now be overriten in the child theme (i.e. including a function with the same name on the child theme "functions.php" file, either directly or by using the same file structure as the parent, we recommend this second approach), allowing for easier customization of the parent theme functionality on the child theme. To make sure if you can override a parent theme function, please check if it has the function_exists() condition before its declaration.

New Features

- Added support for relative ranges in "Date Selector" profile fields.

Videos Uploader

Users can now upload videos and post them on activity status updates.

A new "Videos" page has been added to the members and groups profile pages to display the videos that the user has uploaded to his profile and group members have uploaded to the group. From the "Videos" page, users can upload and delete videos that they have uploaded through status updates or direct upload through this page.

A new customizer section named "Media" has been added ("Customizer" -> "Vikinger Settings" -> "Media") that allow users to change media (photo and video) related settings.

The following "Photo" related options had been added to this new customizer section.

- Photo Upload - Maximum Size in MB: with this option, you can set the maximum size allowed for photos that users upload to the server. If a photo the user tries to upload has a size that is bigger than the one you choose here, then the user will be notified of this and he won't be able to upload it. You can't set this size to be higher than your server maximum upload file size.

- Photo Upload - Allowed Extensions: with this option, you can set the file extensions allowed when a user uploads a photo. If a photo the user tries to upload has an extension that is not allowed, then the user will be notified of this and he won't be able to upload it.

The following "Video" related options had been added to this new customizer section.

- Video Upload - Maximum Size in MB: with this option, you can set the maximum size allowed for videos that users upload to the server. If a video the user tries to upload has a size that is bigger than the one you choose here, then the user will be notified of this and he won't be able to upload it. You can't set this size to be higher than your server maximum upload file size.

- Video Upload - Allowed Extensions: with this option, you can set the file extensions allowed when a user uploads a video. If a video the user tries to upload has an extension that is not allowed, then the user will be notified of this and he won't be able to upload it.

Activity Improvements

- When deleting an activity, all photos and videos associated to it are now deleted.

- When deleting photos or videos from user/groups photos or videos pages, the associated activity will be deleted if all videos/photos included in that activity where deleted. For example: a user creates a status update on his profile with 2 photos, if he deletes those 2 photos from the user photos page, then the status update will also be deleted. If the user only deletes 1 of the 2 photos, then the status update will remain and only show the photo that wasn't deleted.

- Added two new filters in activity feeds: Photos and Videos. The Media filter is still available and can be used to show both Photos and Videos types of activities.

- Activity status updates now detail if they belong to a photo or video update instead of the previous generic "posted an update".

The new "Avatar Type" option can be found here from where you can select the following options:

The type selected will be used for the display of all avatars throughout the site.

You can also select a forum or category to be used to contain all group forums from this settings screen by using the bbPress "Primary Forum" option.

From the group manage popup "Forum" tab, the "Enable forum for this group" option can be activated to create a forum for the group which will be available both on the forum page and as a new link on the group page navigation bar.

The group name, description and status will be used by default for the group forum, however users can choose to change the title, description and status of the forum (the group avatar image will be used as the forum image).

After enabling forum for the group, group admins can delete the forum and all its content just by disabling the same option ("Enable forum for this group") and by clicking on "Save Changes".

If an activity has a height that is greater than this value, then the remaining content will be hidden and a "Show More" button will be created to allow users to display the remaining activity content.

From this section, you can now enable or disable member profile pages added by the theme. This will allow you to easily disable a member profile page and associated navigation item if you don't want to use it (like the profile blog page).

You can also choose the order in which enabled pages are displayed in the profile navigation bar (lower numbered pages will display before higher numbered ones), allowing you to display the pages you think are more important or should be easier to access first in the navigation bar.

BP Better Messages Integration
