BuddyPress.org

Good idea. I’m working on another project where I’ll be attempting to send dual-mode emails: HTML that defaults to plain text when HTML isn’t available. Once I have figured out the intricacies of this delicate maneuver 🙂 I will integrate it into this plugin.

BTW if you want to test an older version you can do so here: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/download/

– When you say invites during group creation don’t work, what do you mean? What happens? Have you tried it with the plugin turned off? – Under the “Select members from the directory” message you should see a checklist of every member on the entire site, whether you’re friends or not. – I will look […]

I’m at a bit of a loss as to why typing an address would be different from pasting it. Maybe it’s a whitespace issue – people are pasting in additional characters without knowing it? I’ll experiment with trimming the input. In the meantime, you could find the line in the plugin that does the email […]

Very glad it works for you! The loop can indeed be very awesome when you wrap your mind around it!

@xberserker – Let me know where you need hooks in Invite Anyone and I’ll add them.

@dwdutch – 1) Exactly right. 2) Most (all?) BP-specific functions that default to the logged in user are named in a way that makes it clear. bp_loggedin_user_domain() is an example. There are some WP functions that take the logged in user as a default argument, and they’re generally not so helpfully named (fwiw the context is […]

@bobs12 – The BuddyPress Backward Compatibility plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-backwards-compatibility/ contains the old theme as well as the old wire code. You could install that plugin and have pretty much everything back the way it was.

As Paul said, those functions are intended to be used in a theme template. More specifically: they’re meant to be used inside of a member/group/activity/etc loop. So if you’re inside of a member loop functions like bp_member_name() will automatically detect which member is currently being processed. There’s no need for a $user_id argument. Most of […]

@bigleeroy FYI – Changes that you make to bp-default will be overwritten when you upgrade BuddyPress. Build a child theme to make sure that you don’t lose your customizations: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

I recommend using groupmeta to accomplish this. The functions you want are groups_get_groupmeta and groups_update_groupmeta.

Thanks for the link – I’ll start with that plugin, so I don’t have to start from scratch.

Signups (including non-activated users) are stored in wp_signups table. I have looked briefly but have never found a plugin for WP admins to manage these signups (activating accts from the Dashboard, resending activation emails, etc). Hard to believe, actually, as it seems like this is an area of great need. Maybe this is something I’ll […]

Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t import any content. Not because I don’t want to! Ning doesn’t offer an easy export of any content except for user profile data. Hopefully one day soon they will turn such a tool on, but until then user data is the best I can do.

Let me know what happens – I haven’t done extensive testing with the Add New Users setting disabled, and I’ll be curious to hear if that’s what’s causing the problem.

You don’t happen to be running BP trunk, do you?

No problem 🙂

How do you have email stuff configured at Dashboard > Site Admin > Options? Do you have banned domains? Are users able to Add User?

Hi Aaron. The plugin uses the default WP/WPMU username/password email. Try creating an account manually via Dashboard > Users > Add User (enter an email address you own) and you’ll see the email text.

In the future I will make it possible to customize the email text.
