I tend to use CSS to hide all sorts of things within the BuddyPress interface rather than unhooking functions. I find that it more quickly and flexibly accommodates my clients’ changing desires.
Today I needed to add a css body class for group moderators and admins. The goal was to hide the “Admin” button for moderators but display it for admins.
To pull it off, I added the following to my functions.php file:
// Add "bp-group-moderator" to body_class function if we are on a BuddyPress-generated page add_filter('body_class','add_bp_group_moderator_body_classes'); function add_bp_group_moderator_body_classes($classes) { if ( bp_group_is_mod() ): // add 'bp-group-moderator' to the $classes array $classes[] = 'bp-group-moderator'; // return the $classes array return $classes; else : // do nothing $classes[] = ''; // return the $classes array return $classes; endif; } // Add "bp-group-admin" to body_class function if we are on a BuddyPress-generated page add_filter('body_class','add_bp_group_admin_body_classes'); function add_bp_group_admin_body_classes($classes) { if ( bp_group_is_admin() ): // add 'bp-group-admin' to the $classes array $classes[] = 'bp-group-admin'; // return the $classes array return $classes; else : // do nothing $classes[] = ''; // return the $classes array return $classes; endif; } |
It works nicely!
I plan to release it as a plugin. Perhaps some day this will be in core. In general, I can never have too many body classes. 🙂
