Thanks so much mercime I was looking for something like that. The journalists blogs is something I already knew how to do it, but the style in forums and buddypress related things was killing me. Time to CSS!

[hachimaki]

And how can I do that? Because it’s not in the buddypress options, I infer I should do a lot of coding.

Now I’m testing with a wordpress installation in my root xxx.com and a WordPress Magazine theme made compatible with @AndyPeatling Theme Pack plugin. But the tricky bussiness is that now, although it works fine, I don’t have a style in the buddypress things, as the theme is not designed to work with it, and I’m a bit lost of how to stylize these parts.

[hachimaki]

@r-a-y Yeah, you have simplified the entire problem in one phrase, i’m amazed!

I suppose i should learn to code on wordpress, much more difficult than Joomla! or Nuked for me.

[hachimaki]

Yes, you can see it working on Deviant or Tuenti

[hachimaki]

yep, i asked @r-a-y ‘coz i know he has do something with it; the author is @Jehy (4 months since active). The thing is i don’t know how to code in wordpress or buddypress.

You could explain it a bit more? Because I was wondering how to do exactly the same, and i’m not an experimented coder

[hachimaki]

Wow! Thanks!

[hachimaki]

lol, so it should work now for me xD

[hachimaki]

yes, not better, but more simplified…

i still prefer yours, it’s more accurate, professionalm but… it doesn’t works for me

regards

Found a much more better solution:

Use this plugin: Force user login https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/force-user-login/

Use this other plugin: http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/custom-branded-login-screen-for-wpmu/ and all done!

[hachimaki]

no, i mean, in functions.php they use to put that /*introduction*/ for locating the functions.

I put the second method on functions.php, i supose i put it well….

I use unplugged theme, it says it uses the child theme files… so i paste in the functions.php of bp-default theme your code. and it doesn’t works. I dunno why.

[hachimaki]

Still not working. I have pasted the new code in functions.php in the buddypress child theme (i use unplugged theme wich uses the bp-default files).

I pasted it at the first line= not working

I pasted it with the */Private Community*/ and the code below= not working

It doesn’t works, i dunno why.

[hachimaki]

If you could make a more-improved post… i suppose i have paste it right, but…

[hachimaki]

it doesn’t work for me, i have paste it where you say and it doesn’t makes any difference, i can see my activity page (homepage) without logging in.

[hachimaki]

Wow! really appreciate it

[hachimaki]

The blogs are meant to be public, but no the comunity. So i’ll try with my path, and see what can i do with invitations

[hachimaki]

I have some questions, in the other thread you say that you don’t recommend to ude ur plugin for wid-site.

I also say that the blogs of the user must be accesible.

-I have one question, plugin for inviting people to the community with all this privacy stuff on?

Sorry for my bbas english, im spaniard, ^^

greetings from spain

Ok, here I am.

For making buddypress a private commmunity, do the following:

-Create a new page in the admin interface.

-Make the page not to show in navigation with one of these: (http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-exclude-pages-from-the-wordpress-navigation-bar/ ) (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/)

-Fill the page with HTML (as you wish). If you want Widgets, you can follow this: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

-Now, use this in the top of ALL PAGES NOT TO SHOW TO GUESTS: (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/securing-components-from-non-logged-in-users/page/2)

if (!is_user_logged_in() ){

bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain.’/register’ );

}

AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE PAGE YOU CREATED BEFORE.

AND THAT’S IT!

Thank you pcwriter, it’ss really helpful

I think you probably have solved my entire problem. I have to read carefully that tutorial, and if i figure out how to do all i think i can be back and solve the problem of @nipponmonkey.

It Should take me up 3-4 hours, but i promise i’ll be back. I let here some spoilers:

-If you can Widgetize a page, you can put a login form in a page.

-If you can put a loging form in a page, without adding it to navigation, you can redirect all not-logged-user to that page, soy they MUST fill the login form before seeing anything.

This is realy important, it doesn’t make any sense how it’s buddypress configured if all is public.

I have been searching also how to make that as we see in the Spanish Social Network “Tuenti” (Tuenti.com)

I also have been searching how to configure a homepage with different widgets once you’re logged (i use Unplugged Theme by Diesel Laws)

More help will be much more appreciated.
