BuddyPress.org

Did you try posting your problem to Trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/ (same login as here)? That’s where the core developers will most likely see and help with a problem like this.

I think it depends on how you implement it. Which means you should implement it as a back end item and not necessarily an option in the WP admin. However, if it’s done right, this shouldn’t cause any slow down for people. Plus, most people have HTML emails these days.

Try BuddyPress Links. It does a lot more than what you’re describing, but should accomplish what you want. You just might have to restrict the other functionality, but it has lots of hooks that could probably accomplish that if you can code.

If you want users to have blogs, then you should use WP MU. Also, certain plugins only work with WPMU or WP. So, that should be part of the decision making process too. Otherwise, both of them will work.

Dang, my code got killed, but it was pretty simple to implement using the same PHP code that’s in line 477 now. I actually just moved the group selection above the email. Since, I’m going to make the subject and message change based on which group is selected. Basically, each group has their own default […]

Philo,
I think you’ll enjoy some of the features of the BP Links plugin too. The way the videos pop out is awesome. A little more organization of the links and it’s basically what you want I think.

“I can’t seem to find a way to enable albums in my group, so I’m guessing something isn’t working.” @Sadr, looking at the list of features, this plugin doesn’t have albums in groups. It’s on the 3 week from now milestone. So that might be why you’re not seeing the option in any version of WP. […]

Aditya,
I just finally decided to go in and edit the theme. The rest of the Group Extension API has been working fine for me.

Delete the theme that you activated from the theme directory. If that’s what caused the error, then deleting it should revert to a different theme. If that doesn’t work, you can rename the buddypress plugin folder (which essentially disables it) so that you’ll be back to square one before you enabled BP. Not sure what […]

Sounds good. I just created my first Trac ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2389 I think that’s where all the cool people hang out.

Thanks Boone. I didn’t think so either. Is this worthy of putting in Trac as an enhancement request. Maybe not since there is a solution that works. It’s just a little ugly. P.S. Do you like how the above function adds a group link straight to the invite by email in your Invite Anyone plugin? […]

I’m not sure why bp_get_group_id() wasn’t working in the above function, but this works instead: $bp->groups->current_group->id

That still leaves these questions:
1. Is there a simpler way to add an external link to the Group Subnav menu than the code above?
2. Can you pass variables into the “screen_function” that the nav calls?

Thanks for the list. Nice work. I agree with the automation of some sort.

I’d watch for the BuddyPress Moderation link that @Avatar posted. It’s a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) project and so we should be seeing something from it this summer.

Thanks @foxly for the update. Can you give us a short list of the major features that are coming after the merge? What made it? What didn’t make it?

Also, are you using cool tools like WinMerge (or something similar)?

Ok, I just tested the change I listed above and it resolves the issue of private and hidden group invites not working. If you just change it to have them automatically join the group it goes really smooth. Now to play with the friend invite. Although, I don’t mind that one sending the email as […]
