Please read the instructions provided in the previous post.

All you need to do is create a new folder in /wp-content/themes/.
Then you create a stylesheet with the data listed in the tutorial.

Next, you should copy over “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/groups/groups-loop.php” to your new theme, maintaining the directory structure.

eg. /wp-content/themes/YOUR_NEW_THEME/groups/groups-loop.php

Then make your changes there.

If you make changes to the default BP theme, you should create a child theme so your changes will not be overwritten when you upgrade BP.

Doesn’t something like this already exist?

Secure Invites for WPMU (not standard WP)
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-secure-invites/

There should be other similar types of plugins as well.

Just do a search in the WP plugin repository.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Cool! Glad you can create groups now!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

That’s correct. Read the FAQ:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only/

I believe I’ve answered most of the questions, but let me know if anything isn’t clear.

@rossagrant – Not certain that these core hacks will be in for v1.2.4, but I’ll see if I can sway the dev team

Re: profile loop – http://testbp.org/members/andy/profile/ – it’s the part right underneath the profile tab.

I just noticed a small bug and just put out v0.51. If you can’t wait for WordPress’ plugin repository to update, you can manually download the files here:
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/buddypress-usernames-only/trunk/

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Luckily for you, I just created a plugin for such a thing!
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only/

Please follow the plugin instructions.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Nope… if you’re using Widget Logic, input:

is_user_logged_in()

for the widget you want to set a conditional for.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I do not want to alienate people who did not ask to be immediately signed up to a forum

BuddyPress is not a forum script!

So you want to remove someone’s profile if it matches a certain ID?
It’s could be possible to redirect to the homepage if someone attempts to go to a certain user’s profile.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Use the Widget Logic or Widget Context plugin.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@bofw @catagirl @agrundner – Plugin is out!
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-usernames-only

Read the instructions! You have to apply two core hacks.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

This should help:
bp_core_get_username( $user_id );

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I’m about to package the plugin; though it requires two core hacks.
Check back in a few hours.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@linusf – So you applied the changes listed in the changeset and you still receive the wrong friend count? If so, please re-open the ticket.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Are you using any BP plugins per chance that limit group creation?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Try this FB plugin:
http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect

Read the plugin’s instructions!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I’d try using a SMTP plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/smtp

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

It’s a known bug:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1445

Keep watching that ticket for further details.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Could be spam accounts. Are these users doing anything weird on your site?

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I haven’t checked the source fully, but it looks like the Group Documents plugin only checks files by extension and not something like the mime-type. So there is a chance that someone could do something “dodgy”; though if you have a decent user base, you won’t have to worry about it.

@PeterAnselmo – ping!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Glad it works!

re: contributor – It’s up to you if you want to add me as a contributor; though if you add me, you should add thekmen too!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@twodeuces – Nice job! It’s always nice though to attribute the original work. Also, it should be quite easy to add your admin menu to the existing BP admin menu without waiting for the 3.0 merge.

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

I see you simply copied and pasted my previous code without adding the rest of the function!

Here’s the full function:
http://pastebin.com/5Pb5VpSz (updated to check if spamlist is filled in)

I think I’ve written the majority of your plugin! lol

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

Please post the full function on Pastebin.com to post code snippets!

[@r-a-y Keymaster 16 years, 6 months ago]

@xberserker – I’ve updated the code with comments, so check the previous post for the updated link!
