Gah! Forgot about that. Should be done now. Thanks!

@r-a-y: Amazing! Thanks!

Just posting so I don’t lose this thread

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

@nahummadrid: but users can still flip through the blogs directory, correct?

ETA: can you link me to the page you have this running on so that I might see the pagination wonkiness in action?

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

bump?

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

@djpaul: how so? I thought the count for “All Blogs” in the menu bar would just be off however many blogs you hid (which doesn’t bug me since it’s only 2 in my case)?

@hkcharlie: does that affect people viewing it at all? I needed to hide my main site and the search blog that was created from using the Sitewide Tags search plugin, so I’d need everyone to have easy access to those.

PSSST! Lookie what I found!!

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/excluding-certain-blogs-from-bp_has_blogs-function-for-12/

Worked flawlessly for me

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks! I’ll try that

And no, not a plugin, I just edited the Buddypress .po file to change the wording.

ETA: GAHH!! That worked! Thank you so much! Figures it would be a simple CSS thing. I just hadn’t been able to get the syntax quite right

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

Also, I tried to do display:none; for #bp-adminbar-authors-menu in the CSS file of my child theme, but that didn’t seem to do anything. I would like to just do away with that entire “li” for blog ID# 12, though.

(it’s actually 14, I was mistaken when I started this thread, but I’m still calling it #12 for continuity’s sake)

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

OK, I found this in bp-core-adminbar.php. Say I wanted to get rid of the text “Blog Authors”, but only for blog ID# 12:

// **** “Blog Authors” Menu (visible when not logged in) ********
function bp_adminbar_authors_menu() {
global $bp, $current_blog, $wpdb;

if ( $current_blog->blog_id == BP_ROOT_BLOG || !function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) )
return false;

$blog_prefix = $wpdb->get_blog_prefix( $current_blog->id );
$authors = $wpdb->get_results( “SELECT user_id, user_login, user_nicename, display_name, user_email, meta_value as caps FROM $wpdb->users u, $wpdb->usermeta um WHERE u.ID = um.user_id AND meta_key = ‘{$blog_prefix}capabilities’ ORDER BY um.user_id” );

if ( !empty( $authors ) ) {
/* This is a blog, render a menu with links to all authors */
echo ‘

@sbrajesh: Eeek! I have no idea what plugin would do that! I certainly don’t remember installing one with that as my goal!

I did edit the .po file to change all instances of “blog” to “shop”, so all but the display terminology should be the same as the “blog owners” link that is in the default Buddypress install

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

@sbrajesh: On the following site, I want to get rid of the text “Shop Owners” (and the downward arrow, of course) in the BP admin bar so that it looks exactly like my main site’s bar

http://www.clothunderground.com/search/

As you can see, using the code you posted did cause the “Shop Owners” menu to not drop down and show the name/avatar of the site owner of this particular blog, but it didn’t get rid of the “Shop Owners” text in the admin bar itself.

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

@sbrajesh: Wait!You’re correct! It DOES seem to have removed the stuff that drops down from the “Blog Owners” menu (the name and avatar of the owner of blog 12), but I need the actual “Blog Owners” text removed from the admin bar completely.

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

@sbrajesh, thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately, that didn’t work in either file

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

Well poop. And for the record, I just tried setting one of my child sites privacy settings to the block search engines option, and it still shows up on my blogs directory page

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

No can do. It’s my main site that I’d like to not display in the directory, but I still need it to be seen by Google, etc.

Is there no “exclude” type thing that I could put into a template tag on blogs-loop.php?

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

Aha! Thanks

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

bump! Share the plugin? Pretty please?

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 10 months ago]

I don’t know, but I need this bad. Anyone know how to exclude certain blogs from being listed on the directory page?

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 11 months ago]

@elizawhat: nope, I don’t have that o.0

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 11 months ago]

I’m using eShop on http://www.clothunderground.com

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 11 months ago]

@elizawhat, what do you mean by “tighten up security”? I’m using the default BP theme (well, with a child theme), and wasn’t aware that anything needed to be added to it when using with 3.0 for security purposes!

[@justbishop Member 15 years, 11 months ago]

@queertoday: do you need members to be able to maintain their own, separate blog sites, or do you just want them to be able to publish posts on the main site’s blog? If they need their OWN blogs, you’ll need to set your WordPress installation to Multisite mode:
