The theme compat is working but the template files are not all there. There most likely will be a few rc’s to work out bugs and get plugin and themes in order.
All you would need is to create private groups and then users could request access. That’s the simplest route. You could also automate it by user role or even by using a profile field
This will not give you a members choice. It will only return the default visibility you set up in admin. to get a users visibility on a field you get from user meta.
You should create a custom component. This may be out of your coding skill level but you can check out the BuddyPress skeleton component plugin for example code.
People can create any plugin they want and even charge for plugins. However, its in bad taste to find any thread related and post links to a paid plugin. This is what is generally called spam.
I want to point out that I tried your plugin and while it may do as advertised, the method of overriding a template file is bad. You need to learn how BuddyPress creates the user menu. It’s not the same as WP menus. Overriding a template file that places a WP menu into that space is not a good strategy.
Add a plugin that causes logout problem then switch theme to BP-default. If problem goes away then frisco theme is causing error. It seems weird because logout is a WP function. BuddyPress doesn’t create it’s own logout.
You are better off letting email go to user but remove the activation link. Create a function that hooks into member sign up to email you separately. I’m suggesting this because its better conversion for users to get the email.
`function email_admin_user_signup() {
//email admin code here
}
add_action(‘bp_core_signup_user’, ’email_admin_user_signup’);`
I do, I’m actually developing a front end blog solution for BP, it wont be out for a few months. I busy working on Menus and Mobile. When that’s done then I’m working on the blog issue
