The plugin author is this guy by the way: he wrote some plugins on wordpress.org including BuddyPress Groups Extras which is how I found him. Slava UA.
schedule forum topics in any group
schedule site-wide notices to be published
schedule group members unbanning
Everything at a time you specify!
That gives you a unique ability to:
plan the traffic on your site
promote something at a certain time
notify users about any group events/news on time
I was thinking it might be useful in conjunction with BuddyPress Group Email Subscription as a task manager or event scheduler for members- but not sure really. Just thought it was interesting and letting people know.
I saw this one a while back and it seemed to work well whwn I tested it last. It might need some tweaking regarding the css though as I remember. BuddyPress Portfolio
But it would mean each user had their own gallery.
A page can be created I think showing all pictures.
I’ve been developing this and submitted it to the depository, but so far no one has looked at it yet so it will be a while. Updates about this are here: Updates and news
I mis-read your question sorry. I found a solution which lets users only view other users profiles if they are a friend of that user. The admin can see all members regardless of them being his/her friend.
I put the function in my functions.php:
// BuddyPress create conditional if friend
function flatportal_bp_is_friend() {
global $bp;
if (friends_check_friendship( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_displayed_user_id() ) )
return true;
return false;
}
and created a custom header file with this at the top:
// Global $bp variable holds all of our info
global $bp;
// The user ID of the currently logged in user
$current_user_id = (int) trim($bp->loggedin_user->id);
// The author that we are currently viewing
$author_id = (int) trim($bp->displayed_user->id);
if ($current_user_id !== $author_id && !current_user_can('delete_others_pages') && !flatportal_bp_is_friend() )
{
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit();
}
If they are not a friend they will be redirected to the home page or wherever you want them. I suppose you could re-direct them to a “you are not a friend of this user” page if you wanted.
Thanks for your feedback everyone.
@hnla Yes you are right, I would be responsible to support it as a premium theme. So I will have to submit it to the directory and just spend a bit more time developing it I guess.
@ubernaut thanks I hope it would be useful to people.
@henrywright I have been thinking the same thing.
I will remove it from my website and develop it to go into the WordPress depository- hopefully it will one day- will take a while though unfortunately because I’m busy doing an art course now.
My portal theme only lets admin / editor users view all members profiles or other users view other profiles if they are friends. If you want more info on how I did this let me know.
It basically works in this way- I have a header file with multiple headers for different page templates or conditions such as is_singular() or is_page.. e.g
The pages are all set to private by default and depend on setting them to different page templates if you want them public or a different style.
The private pages have a header-private that re-directs non-logged in users to the log in page (which is created on theme activation and set to the log in page template)
So the public page templates have a header-public without any redirect for non-logged in users.
There are also page templates that go with a header-restrict for restricting pages to editor / admin only with the conditional redirect
The different header files have re-directs at the top except for the public one: e.g header-restrict has: if(!current_user_can('delete_others_pages')) { wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; }
at the top.
It’s been my pet project for a few years but to be honest you are right I’ve not had much luck promoting it and there are lots of plugins that do similar things and lots of themes, but it’s been interesting non the less 🙂 I use it for my own little project support area and it’s basic but it works.
