kenrichman posted on the forum topic Privacy and Security – is there any? in the group Requests & Feedback: 13 years, 8 months ago

Thanks Paul, yes – I have read about group privacy settings, implemented them and they seem to work. Of course they do not extend to profiles, as the settings are just for groups. So is that the only real issue? People reading other people’s profiles? For my present use that is something I want people […]

BuddyPress describes the groups as being either public, private or hidden. Private and Hidden suggest a degree of privacy is implemented. But now I read a lot of debate about privacy being basically non-existent in the BuddyPress core. And about having to rely on third party plug-ins that may or may not be supported. Then […]

kenrichman started the forum topic Moderator without admin privileges? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 13 years, 9 months ago

Can a user with moderator privileges at the WordPress level be allowed to moderate all BuddyPress groups? (Not just ones they have been invited to moderate?) I would like to assign moderators who can moderate all of the groups, users and forums without having to promote them to Admin as they don’t need access to […]

Thank you guys, really good to know this is being worked on.
I agree that favourites is not the sort of thing for public knowledge.
I would really appreciate some help with the code to add this fix. It may sound quite trivial to some but for me I’m afraid it isn’t.

I looged in as admin, created a hidden group, added some posts to the forum, made one a favorite. Then logged out. While logged out I looked at my member profile, clicked on favorites, and there was my post, where it could be read by anyone. Also displayed was the hidden group name and hidden […]

Much happier now having created a translation file. Wish I’d known before that is the best way to go about it.

All sorted …!
I created a new language file – worth doing because I could fix up all the American spellings (well, there are one or two) to UK and customse various messages to make them nicer.

This link in the codex was a great help.

Thanks – this helped – and I posted my feedback on the thread you mentioned above, aces.
But it’s still not perfect, as I still have’ Friends’ showing here and there which is probably worse than leaving it as it was.

Progress! Using Text Mangle as a plug-in, I’ve changed various strings to what I want them to be, but unfortunately not all. For instance the tab that shows the number of friends e.g. Friends (2) I guess because the string has a variable part, it doesn’t match simply using the Text Mangle plugin code above. […]

Thanks for the links guys. I will try your suggestions. I am new to this but I can’t believe this is such a pain to do. Strings are constants – a type of data. Code is code. Why mix the two? I am an ex-programmer from the 80’s – back then, it was easy to […]

I want to change the term Friends to something else e.g. associates, etc. It must be consistent right across the site.
How can I do this?

Also where can I find a description of the Friends functionality?
Just becoming friends doesn’t seem to achieve very much, or am I missing something?

Thanks!

kenrichman started the forum topic Avatars look poor quality in the group Miscellaneous: 13 years, 9 months ago

I upload a square avatar, of a good sioze e.g. 174px x 174px, go to crop it and the result is very poor, fuzzy image. It looks fine up until the crop.
Can I upload the avatar directly to avoid this distortion?
