Would it be possible to include features that would enable site admins to make their sites accessible to logged-in users only?
It certainly would be possible but even though such features have been requested lots of times here in the forum, it doesn’t mean everyone would want, or welcome that particular functionality. This is a great example that highlights why plugins exist. By providing this feature as a plugin, it ensures the core doesn’t become bloated. And users that do want the functionality can simply install a plugin.
1) You will need to make sure the template_notices hook is in your template.
2) I’m not sure if an email is sent on settings change by default, but if not, the general approach would be to hook a custom function to bp_core_general_settings_after_save. Within your custom function you should use wp_mail() to send the email.
Media commenting isn’t available in core so you will need to find a plugin. Two popular media plugins I know of are rtMedia and MediaPress. Alternatively, you could build something yourself using the new BP Attachment API
You should note the ticket is still under development, which means the patch provided may not fully work. If you notice something not working then feel free to provide feedback directly in the Trac ticket.
This is theme-related. You should use Chrome dev tools to investigate whether that particular nav item’s CSS or HTML is different from the rest of the nav items (or it may just be that they don’t fit in the horizontal space). Alternatively, you could contact the theme author for support.
CSS and HTML are the things you’ll need to use in order modify the page. The BuddyPress Template Hierarchy article will show you which files you’ll need to modify. Note, you may have to create the templates if your theme doesn’t already have them.
The messages_mark_thread_read() function will mark a message thread as read. It accepts the thread ID. So, to mark read all new private messages if they have a given subject, you could do this:
function creativesinside_mark_read( $message ) {
// Be sure we're working with an array.
if ( is_object( $message ) ) {
$args = (array) $message;
} else {
$args = $message;
}
// Mark as read.
if ( $args['subject'] == 'comment on your post' ) {
messages_mark_thread_read( $args['thread_id'] );
}
}
add_action( 'messages_message_sent', 'creativesinside_mark_read' );
That’s odd. All I can think of is it must be your text editor. Try doing the same thing in something like Sublime Text or Atom and see if the problem occurs.
Ask the theme author to make their templates BuddyPress-compatible
Create your own BuddyPress templates. See the Template Hierarchy article
Making a theme BuddyPress-compatible is something many theme authors would consider doing because it opens the door to 2,000,000+ BuddyPress sites, so it’s probably worth a shot asking.
You’ll need to be more specific. If you mean which hook fires when the registration page loads, then the answer is there are many. See here and look for the one you need.
