@mrwiblog Code Monkey in Chief at stillbreathing.co.uk · http://www.stillbreathing.co.uk

I've been messing around with PHP for about 8 years, and have done pretty much nothing but Wordpress sites for the last 4 years. I love it, so I jumped at the chance to donate code to the Buddypress project. What else? Oh yeah, I play music (am I the only web developer in the world with a degree in jazz studies? Thought so.) I'm married and have too many kids to count. Things I'm involved with online: - MyJournal: social networking, blogging and online showrooms for business - Performer: making JavaScript features even easier to use; add AJAX and more to your pages without writing a single line of JavaScript code - BeatsBase: blogging and free mix hosting (1gb per user!) for DJs - My blog: thoughts from InternetLand - projectGenie: free, open source, web-based project management software I've also started to write Wordpress plugins, mainly for Wordpress MU. The list is too long, and changes regularly, so check out the latest here: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/mrwiblog.

    Hi. Looks like BuddyPress is outputting content before it should be (or that’s what the error message looks like). The session is started by Secure Invites in the “init” event of WordPress, so anything outputting headers there is almost certainly wrong. Perhaps you could contact the BuddyPress guys to see what’s happening on…[Read more]

    This will be a problem with one of the other plugins you have running printing output in the wrong place. Try turning off all your plugins (except secure invites) then turning them on one at a time and refreshing the page between each plugin. That will tell you which plugin breaks the site.

    At the moment, no. You can turn the menu option off in the settings page, but any invite forms inserted on any page will still be shown.

    In a future version I’ll add this as an option.

    This is one of the features near the top of the list. Do you have any preference for a format to add invites? For example, would a CSV file with the invitees name and email address be OK?

    Yes, the next version of the plugin should do that. I can’t say when that will be ready, though.

    If you go to the settings page you will be shown the reason why the link is not shown in your admin menu. Normally this is because the user hasn’t been registered for long enough. The reason is also shown as an HTML comment, look at the code for any admin page.

    • @MrWiblog Nice work :) , any idea when this plug-in will work with Multi-site enabled? Pretty important I would think! And certainly for my projects, I will only be able to make use of it if it can work with Multi-Site. :)

    • @MrWiblog also, can u let us know what it is about multi-site that will stop this invite from working?
