@ubernaut Yes I am using oEmbed. In the default Buddypress theme oEmbeds don’t seem to be responsive so I’m trying to find the best way of doing that. Am having a look at FitVids at the moment as suggested here:
@flyveren Is it possible to make this work without using a div container? The problem is when users post video embeds in my forum they won’t know to add that extra code.
The “reset forum” option indicates that “data will be removed” which doesn’t sound like what I want – that says to me it’s going to get rid of my data, not restore it to what it was.
The “purge previous import” option looks a bit more likely. But when I tried it I got the “Starting Conversion” message with the loading wheel next to it and it stayed that way for about 15 minutes and gave no indication that anything further was happening.
I’m not sure why this worked – I got the idea from this old thread. It would be good to know why if someone can explain it to me.
The way I see it, in order to complete this I now need to create individual versions of the complete code for each group where I require these custom tabs. I am sure there’s vastly more elegant ways of doing this but with my meagre PHP knowledge this is the best I can muster for now!
@mercime Thanks for the reply, answers are as follows:
* Group Forums
* Custom-built child theme based on Buddypress default theme (as I can’t replicate the problem myself I’ve been unable to test whether the fault persists when I switch themes)
* The only membership plugin I’m using is User Role Editor. I’ve used this to create a new Subscriber role I’ve called ‘Super Subscriber’ which has one extra function. However both ordinary Subscribers and Super Subscribers have reported being able to see these extra icons.
I’ve tried to follow the instructions in Group Extension API on how to restrict the tab to certain pages. I believe I’ve integrated the code correctly but it seems I need to do something else to tell it which groups I want to restrict it to but I can’t tell what.
I’ve had difficult posting the code on here – I keep getting blank pages – but I’ll try to post it in subsequent posts.
I need to know what I should do in order to:
1. Restrict the tabs so they only appear in certain groups
2. Customise the content of the tabs so it’s different for each page
I should add, not all the menu options which could appear do. For example, when logged on as admin I can see the plugin menu notifying me of one plugin to update, but this does not appear to the subscribers who are being shown the menu options.
I was also surprised to discover that when a user is marked as a spammer, no action is taken to delete or hide the messages they have sent from users.
When a user is marked as a spammer, surely Buddypress should prevent all other users from seeing messages they have sent? Can this be added to a future version?
