Jenny that’s what Travel_junkies code does (at least the first part of your request); have you tried it? Are you having specific issues with it?

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Have a read through this post with particular reference to travel_junkies code which you should be able to modify to prevent access to certain pages/areas if user not registered/loggedout

First time they posted half a dozen posts, then changed name and another couple (that foxed me completely rolleyes:)

500 internal errors can also be caused by bad .htaccess rules.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

It’s spam Paul.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

It’s not as straightforward as it ought to be there appear to be issues with the order of loading at least what is easily doable from functions.php becomes problematic as a plugin – I have had to wrap the remove_actions in a bp-init function and that provokes other questions as there appear to be conflicting docs on this aspect, most remove_actions I can get to work, site-logo refuses to play ball.

Old thread BeckB.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-org-ninjas/home/

Is the better place now for site comments / suggestions etc

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@BeckB this and the other thread are a bit old to be resurrecting.

Thoughts and suggestions/comments about the site in general are now best made in the group dedicated to the improvement of buddypress.org

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-org-ninjas/home/

We’ll leave this thread as read only.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@pcwriter Patrick you have changed the plugin directory name but you haven’t updated the loader file include path to reflect this.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Re the additional elements added, There are two approaches: the embedded style rules could be combined, outputting a series of ‘style’ tags clutters the head; better that those display:none rules are injected into the same style tag function. I think though the correct approach with these adminbar elements is to use remove_actions rather than style rules I’ll try and re-factor the script for remove_actions.

To restore BP/WP force deactivate the plugin by FTP /SSH/control panel access and renaming or deleting the plugin.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@dinoraptor101 this thread is a year and 7 months old, generally old threads aren’t resurrected can you start a new post for any issues you are having.

fwiw if email servers are rejecting out of hand you need to check your mail delivery notification for error codes that should tell you why, if no failed delivery notifications then you’re doing something else wrong, however this is not necessarily a WP/BP problem unless you can establish that absolutely no emails leave the server.

Also check whether you have a SPF record issue – the likes of Hotmail will probably/possibly have implemented this policy.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Probably the better way to proceed anyway, I always upload manually , having first disabled all BP dependent plugins then deactivate BP itself, then remove or rename the folder and upload the new one then reverse the process for deactivation of plugins reactivating new BP, checking that’s ok then enabling the other bp plugins one by one.

Added the ‘Community’ label conf variable and corrected the globals

http://pastebin.com/Mnsxaa4y

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Good spot, that’s why second eyes are vital, also the $hideMainNav doesn’t need to be globally scoped as the function sits outside pages() and the variable is already in the main page scope so no global required for it.
Not sure how the process works for uploading plugins but would guess it hasn’t been approved yet?

If I have a minute I’ll add the config variable for ‘Community’ link then you can run things through their paces when your back.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Assuming you answered an implicit affirmative to Paul’s question about editing the correct file, did you restart your Apache? server for the changes to take effect (apologies if teaching grandmother to suck eggs )

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

new adjustments:
typo corrected;

http://pastebin.com/TA4vGHT5

Config section created at top of file – labels all set from that point by user

Hide main nav links function created to add embedded styles via add_action dependent on user setting $hideMainNav = true

Hiding the main nave through CSS isn’t really the best option as it leaves the markup there, it would be better to remove altogether you may want to change default to true(hide)

This is somewhat of a stopgap solution to user parameters.

As always check over thoroughly for any other typos I may have missed

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

What starts out as appearing to be a simple requirement, nearly always evolves to something else admin area would be next step, however in some senses it’s starting to over complicate things.

An alternative is to create a conf file with a series of options similar to the one written to flip flop the pages from hori to vert and include that file into the main one, so that user settings in that aren’t lost give instruction to user to move that one file up a level into the plugin directory root, then do a check on both original path to file or the path if moved up a level.

Edit// oops there’s a typo on second $pageLinkDropdown ($lpageLinkDropdown) – my bad,.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Yep I’ve added it to a ever growing to do list, not sure when I’ll be able to get round to it but definitely will at some point as it’s a shame that bp-default doesn’t render well on IE >= 7

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

‘Attempts’ being the operative word.

it’s a shame as all that’s really required is a little knowledge and experience, IE issues are not really that hard to cope with, the use of combinator selectors that IE6 doesn’t understand is just plain wrong and unnecessary, and generally only used where rulesets were desired to be hidden from IE or where the ruleset simply added fluff and wasn’t vital for layout purposes.

Someone!? – yes probably end up being me – will need to produce a Conditional Comment stylesheet [if lte IE 7] to provide support for bp-default and our old ailing fiend IE6/7 that can be packaged with the BP install.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

No it’s not hard to believe, many organizations still use IE6 and can’t change as they have proprietary in house apps written for it. I’m afraid the truth is that too many younger coders and not so younger are are happy to assume that IE6/7 is dead and they don’t need to code with correct and proper cross browser checks or probably know how to do that. The approach now with IE8 is out should be to ensure that there is at the least a presentable layout that functions at a basic level albeit without the bells and whistles, sadly this appears to be not the case and work will have to be done in addition . There are few themes around for BP personally I don’t have experience of many to any great degree, and there are a few from a certain premium outfit that I was non too impressed by. You might find better themes at http://buddydev.com/ but if you take any specifically ask whether they are checked to work in IE6

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Older version of IE? which specifically? IE6? If so I’m afraid you’ll be out of luck or at least search long and hard to find themes that work with IE6 they should! but most won’t have taken this older browser into account bp-default hasn’t – by the look of things – done any or much testing in IE6.

There may be a few of the better ‘Premium’ themes around that have done their duty by browsers, but be prepared that if you really want layouts working in IE6 you might have to get someone to do that for you specifically.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

That’s the one Follow the steps carefully and fully.

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

There is a how to guide if you search the WordPress codex

[@hnla Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

It’s very simple as long as you are running WP MU or WP 3.0 and if WP 3.0 you must have manually configured it for Multi site functionality (You don’t say what you’re running on!)

Then you simply need to set the option allow users to register accounts and blogs in main admin options.
