BuddyPress.org

for group forums? – group forum extras plugin which has an ajax quote feature (requires a theme modification so the reply box is on each page though)

looking at that now – the core bp_search_form_type_select function needs an action to add something to the list

couple of jQuery packages out there, TextLimit is pretty simple – syntax as such: jQuery(“textarea”).textlimit(‘span.somecounterspan’,500)

then as a backup – just use one of the filters to excerpt the content (only issue is error handling)

just look at the core files bp-groups.php and the function groups_setup_nav() from there you’ll see how bp sets the current access for most subnav items look for this line -> // If this is a private or hidden group, does the user have access? which is referenced on line 206/7 for the Forums subnav. What you […]

You can only override functions which are pluggable – I don’t believe any exists within BuddyPress (just the standard wp pluggable.php)

actions are just trigger points that are defined somewhere in the code

groups_post_update is not pluggable – the only action (bp_groups_posted_update) within that function is after the activity update occurs. (which is after is_user_member check)

@apwinthrop – only thing on my test site is group forum extras that has an activity stream subplugin – this will display activity comments underneath a forum post.

what about removing and re-adding just the subnav? (or getting a bit hackery and editing $bp->bp_options_nav array)

That is because the check within groups_post_update allows the site_admin


/* Be sure the user is a member of the group before posting. */
if ( !is_site_admin() && !groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_id ) )
return false;


in the function groups_post_update a check is performed if someone is a member prior to posting an activity_update (there is no action hook prior to this conditional) – so you’ll need to find out how to join all your members to groups first. (another plugin or custom hook when someone registers, creates a new group, views […]

@erich73 no – this plugin is not included in bp-core

per forum/topic rss? (see group forum extras code to pull that out – quoting is in there too)

off the top of my head – each subnav item and the screen functions can be limited to a “user_has_access” flag set in bp_core_new_subnav_item

For example the Forum subnav is restricted if public/hidden – you could remove and re-add the subnav with your own function to check access

my only other guess is server/mysql cache (bp_has_activities is also used in the ajax response for posting a new comment – which works but is filtered for a comment_id)

(tons of solutions via search)

on the recent topic list just a few threads down:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/members-only-site/

each core component deletes notifications within the template call

for example – when viewing the my friends listing (friends_screen_my_friends) – prior to loading the template “members/single/home”

@dennis_h a front-end Member FAQ/Help plugin would be a great idea for site owners. Something that other plugins can hook into as well to explain how their features work in terms for a member.

Same issue if you view the permalink of an activity? (/activity/p/somenumber)
