[Resolved] Preventing group members from inviting others?

  • I will be using Buddypress to create courses. Each group will be a course. These will be set to private, but I read in the Codex “In a private group or a hidden group, members have all the same privileges as members in a public group. Additionally, being a member of a private group means that you get to see who else is a member of the group, and that you’re able to send invites to other users.”
    How can I set it so that members of the group cannot invite other users?

    If you don’t want anyone in any group to be able to send invites, put the following in your bp-custom.php file:

    function bbg_no_send_invites( $can_send_invites ) {
    $can_send_invites = false;
    
    return $can_send_invites;
    }
    add_filter( 'bp_groups_user_can_send_invites', 'bbg_no_send_invites' );

    If you want to be more selective than that – for instance, allowing only group admins to invite, or blocking invites only in private groups – you’ll need to put some more logic in there before setting $can_send_invites to false.

    Thank you!

    Um, ok, I thanked too soon. ;-) Is the bp-custom.php file something I have to create? I could not find one in my installation.

    Ah, never mind. I found in in the Codex.
