BTW I tried to PM Boone Gorges about this and I can’t post any updates here at buddypress.org for some reason…

I am using BP 1.5.1 and am having this exact issue – is it still an issue or am I missing something? Private groups still populate the ‘my friends’ activity feed. Nonmembers can see the activity of their ‘friends’ in private groups in the activity feed. I’ve disabled the ‘all members’ tab in the activity feed because of this issue, so I can’t currently comment on whether private groups are showing up in the ‘all members’ filter.

THANKS! I’m running a paid membership site so this is a biggie

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

I am troubleshooting this issue at the moment. In my theme, I’ve removed the “all members” activity tab, to limit this issue. But if somebody is friends with somebody else who is a member of a group they are NOT a member of, they get to see that person’s activity even though they’re not in the group. Any tips other than removing the “my friends” tab, which I really don’t want to do?

Bump

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 6 months ago]

This code pretty much does exactly what I want, which is to display the user’s role/level in forums. I got it to work for Admin and Mod, but I’m a code idiot so I’m not sure how to get it to work with other levels? I’m using s2Member so I have levels that are written to BP/WP users like Working Student, Auditing Student, Free Subscriber, etc.

Tips?

TIA,
Daisy

I’d love the edits you made as well – I like the plugin but need roles/levels to be returned.

The BP Group Forum Extras plugin enabled the ability to have activity replies to comments in forum topics show up. It’s not officially supported any more but I use it because it’s the only way I can respond to forum topics in a threaded fashion (I’m the instructor in an online class and need to be able to respond in that fashion, not just at the bottom). I think it’s going to be integrated with bbpress at some point, it does the job for now

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I’ve been trying to send a message to @Travel-Junkie but the BP site won’t let me, so here goes – @Travel-Junkie mentioned he was going to make a custom mod/hack to S2Member to get it to protect groups – did you ever get that to work? I had S2Member working with a bit of code in my functions.php file and it was AWESOME, till the BP 1.5 upgrade, and now it doesn’t work. I think they’re tired of me too, because although the customer support has heretofore been very VERY good, they finally just told me it was a custom hack and S2Member wasn’t designed for groups or group protection. Bleh. I must say that also there are some other functions that aren’t working as of late and the help has been a bit overtaxed, probably because of the overall generally good quality of the plugin. But I wouldn’t really recommend it at this time for specifically protecting BP groups, just since I haven’t been able to get a solution to what WAS working from either the folks at S2Member *or* the Buddypress.org forums. I finally resorted to posting a request for a custom PAID job to fix this, it’s maddening. S2Member doesn’t currently protect my groups, doesn’t populate the correct end date in subscriptions, so really, all it’s doing is redirecting users to a different URL if they’re not logged in.

The help forum has been pretty overwhelmed the last couple of days, I’ve been checking daily trying to solve my own issues

I am dying here….nothing?!

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

How can I do something like this but remove the button that says ‘request membership’?

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Pretty please?

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I switched back to the bp-default theme to see what’s going on. The text at the end of forum posts is […] instead of [Read More], but it’s still dead text and not a link. But maybe that’s the default behavior?

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Firebug doesn’t seem to be reporting any errors.

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

When viewing the activity feed on my site, if the activity item was posted as an update (i.e. Daisy Peel posted an update (insert time since here), then the [READ MORE] link at the end is live and clicking drops down the remainder of the update and associated comments. Hovering over the hyperlink shows that it points to http://mysite.com/activity/p/some-number

However, when viewing the activity feed, if the activity item was posted as a response to a forum topic, or as a new forum topic, then at the end of the excerpt, the [READ MORE] text is there, but there’s no hyperlink.

I’m using Custom Community Pro, and I reinstalled it clean just to be SURE I hadn’t modified something.
I can change the text in bp-activity-filters.php here:

$append_text = apply_filters( ‘bp_activity_excerpt_append_text’, __( ‘[Read More]’, ‘buddypress’ ) );

And the text of the LIVE links changes accordingly, but [Read More] is still appended to the end of the forum topic updates in the activity feed, and it’s still just dead text, so I can’t figure out where that appended text is being pulled from. Hope that helps.

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

OK Thanks

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I’d love threaded forum posts as well….

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE ACTIVITY STREAM ISSUES…..I am pulling my hair out, this is such a huge fail in BP 1.5 functionality, I am so frustrated

On http://mysite.com/activity, as well as http://mysite.com/groups/anygroup home page, the [READ MORE] link at the bottom of activity replies to posts expands to reveal the full text of the response ONLY if the user has posted an update – if they are posting in reply to a forum topic, then on the activity feed the end of the excerpt just has […] and that doesn’t link to anything but SHOULD, as it used to. How to hack/fix?

On http://mysite.com/gropu/groupname/groupforum/groupforumtopic/topicpage

the [READ MORE] link at the bottom of activity feed replies to posts doesn’t do ANYthing.
I have the group forums extras plugin installed in order to show activity replies below forum posts in a threaded view.

How can I hack/edit to get this functionality back? I am really really frustrated and am getting to the point where I’d PAY to have this fixed….

Thanks,

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I’d like to request that the VIEW text be put back in – I hacked it for now but of course the first update that comes along and I’ll have to try and remember where I hacked it

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I”m so sad that this plugin isn’t being updated any more, I really like the activity stream comments in the forum posts, it is AWESOME, but since BP 1.5 upgrade, the ‘READ MORE’ link to expand activity stream comments doesn’t work when trying to expand them inside the group forum

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Code didn’t work, any plugin for this?

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

OK, reopening this – I edited the file so that the timestamp is once again followed by the text VIEW – I really did like that, who would know to click the time stamp?

BUT, the […] at the end of activity excerpts is not working as a permalink any more? Would like that to be a permalink still? On the main activity feed, there is a [Read More] at the end of each excerpt, and filtering for my friends still has the [Read More], but filtering activity for my groups yields just […]at the end of each activity post. How can I get that to say [Read More] like all the other activity feeds?

Thanks.

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

OK Thanks.

[@peeld Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

You know, I’m having the OPPOSITE issue, I can’t figure out why those View links AREN’T there since I upgraded, and want them back!!
