    Hello Buddydev

    I have recieved email complants from visitors who don’t know how to get the url for an individual post.

    At the top of each Buddypress post is a time posted link with a url that will create a page with only that post on it.

    Example == -User123- posted an update (a day ago)

    Example == https://buddypress-site.com/activity-page/p/8803/

    Is it possible to put some code into “bp-custom.php” or “functions.php” that would make a copy to clip board button for visitors that are not logged in ?

    Thank You
    webbuddy

    Hi,
    Welcome to BuddyDev.

    It is certainly doable. How to do it will depend on theme/template pack you are using.

    You will need to do the following:-

    1. Load a js file like ClipBoard.js – https://clipboardjs.com/
    2. Inject the button for copying (most of the time using bp_activity_entry_meta action)
    3. Enable the copy

    There is a minor issue that you will face when new activity is posted on current page, you will need to activate this copy js again for that specific activity.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hey Brajesh

    Hey , Thanks for the great reply. I’ll look into that, but —

    maybe there’s an easer way ? — A link button, or just some link text that would appear

    below the post for logged and non-logged in users. Then users could right click menu to

    get the Url. Could that be done functions code ?

    On that — other thing, I’ll try to find one that doesn’t require a phone. Thats not going to be easy.

    Thank You

    Hi,
    Try adding the following code to your functions.php or bp-custom.php

    https://gist.github.com/sbrajesh/ed8298d085f6b58e1838f6f4db97d877

    It would add a “Link” text to each post and clicking on it, users can access the permalink.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    You are welcome.
    I am looking forward to your fedeback.

    About the email:- My main concern is that someone may access it and reset your account’s pass and do something undesirable(spam). That’s why I suggested changing it.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh

    That code worked great !

    The link appeared with the others below the post with ‘ comment ‘ favorite’ ect.

    I looked at it with the browsers web developer. You already know this but here is the html

    div container it operates in

    <div class=”activity-meta”>

    this is the permalink function in that container

    <a href=”https://buddypress123.com/activity-page/p/8816/&#8221; target=”_blank”

    class=”bp-activity-permalink”>Link

    Is there a way to give the new link a logged in exception ? It disappears with the
    other functions when non-logged in visitors view the activity feed.

    ————————–

    ————————–

    The mail address and password for this account are only used here. It’s unlikely
    anyone is going to get in

    I tried to add a number sequence to the mail address that for practical purposes becomes
    the mail service account password. Got a red banner – ” settings have been changed ” but it didn’t change.
