Buddypress for a Directory site

    I read on another site that Buddypress can be used to create a directory site.
    so can buddy press do this.

    Can a site be built where ALL content is hidden and accessible via a paid login.
    The content is a listing for a business and their products. so “I would log in to my paid membership acct and list this item ( or any number of items) and then you would log in to your paid membership and search to see if a particular item is available.”

    so all content is hidden to everyone unless you log in to list it, or log in to search and view it.

    Does it do the listing of the product/s
    the editing of the product/s
    or deletion of the products ( all by the owner)

    Then does it allow for items to be not shown when the subscription period runs out.

    etc etc

    Thanks

    @wealthy – I don’t think you need buddypress for this. I believe you could easily achieve those goals setting up and wordpress install, turn on multi-site (aka wordpress mu setting) – add in one of the many membership type plugins like s2member.. then add in a commerce plugin like marketpress or woo-commerce, something like that.

    Make it so all sub “blogs” aka “sites” are locked out from visibility unless logged in, your “logged in state” is determined by the s2member or similar plugin…

    might take a look at press permit core for restricting content.. there are others.. but in essence I think there is no need to add buddypress to the mix. Only thing that would do it open up profiles and friends – but then you’d have much more difficulty locking down member profile viewing and groups viewing and stuff like that, which is not so easy to deal with at the moment.
