Nothing right now, but there is a ticket already suggesting it

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

Might have to throw this into a little plugin now since it is more stable. I hopefully can get that done here pretty soon as more people are interested in this

Personally, I have a combination in effect. I use the plugin wp-hashcash and that helps stop “robot” registrations nicely. For restriction, I personally use Dsader’s Admin Approve plugin which is wonderful as nothing is activity for blogs until the admin approves. Doesn’t help with user registration “per-se” so I also use Signup Question on my more private install as well. I just change it to a normal question with a normal answer to only get people I want registering. It can be altered to almost having an “invite” code if you give the answer to people you want to register!

Getting a bit off topic, so I will stop there.

Well, you can look at this post for a quick hack to only allow members to see anything on member profiles, groups, etc. That post has a hack that applies to the /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/ theme. The buddypress-home theme in /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/ doesn’t get the hack

You could apply it to buddypress-home theme in certain places if you don’t even want them to be able to search the blogs, groups, members, etc. but that would be a little harder to follow.

Then, on private blogs, I just use more privacy options so that private and no search engine blogs don’t show in any listings around the site. You can hack the code to actually list them in buddypress if you want, but default pattern is to not show them.

So basically, I would set the privacy for all blogs you don’t want showing and leave the main blog open. It is done with that plugin on a blog by blog basis.

Once Andy puts more of this into the core, it will be much easier, but for now we have to “hack” around a bit

You might get a little more mileage for this one if you post over in the bbPress forums at https://bbpress.org/forums/ with more eyes for errors

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

I saw a plugin that does this on http://premium.wpmudev.org so I know it can be done with a plugin. Not sure if anyone has wrote this as a free thing though.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

I had to lol since I never noticed #2 before as I was logged in with “admin” With these little bugs, make sure you log them at https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 5 months ago]

This pretty much could be adapted if it doesn’t work out of the box:

+1 for autocomplete on friends only for messaging with the ability to type any username if it doesn’t find anyone.

Some great sites in this list! Great work everyone!

Andy in the last revision of SVN updated some things so it works better with subdirectories. I would suggest pulling the latest now and see how that works.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I doubt that is the issue since the plugin queries its own tables, not wpmu directly from what I can tell. Mine takes a few seconds to load if no blog exists under each letter, but then gives an error. There isn’t an error in your apache logs about it?

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

What revision 6d6? Works fine for me on rev 700. Did you check your error logs? Did you go to your blog admin as the Site Admin to force upgrade to db if it needs one?

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

@wardeh I avoided entering all the wordpress integration information for nonce, salts, keys, etc right off the bat and just did the “login integration” which really involves just making sure it has the right prefix for your install which usually is “wp_” so bbPress can find the WPMU users.

I see Sambauers put up a new plugin today to help with bbPress and WordPress cookie integration and will give more information after I have a chance to play with it.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

In WPMU site-admin options did you set new registrations to only blogs only which would require you to be logged in and hense stops the ability to create a user account?

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

All my problems disappeared when I temporarily moved away from cookie integration. I just did the quick and dirty user integration only and it works 100%. Having hashes in config files and database seemed to make getting this working much harder on certain installs. I would recommend trying it without the cookie integration, only user integration first if that helps.

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

Well, WP 2.7 officially released, but WPMU 2.7 should be close behind.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

burtadsit did you file a ticket in wpmu trunk? I would imagine that it should be sorted when Donncha pulls right to 2.7 release, but who knows. I actually am running 10145 right now and it works fine for me. I always reboot apache to make sure my xcache doesn’t keep the wrong data as well as make sure “turbo” isn’t the problem with old files.

If you look at the source of the image, this is what you get”

http://social.xenialab.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/avatars/3/es6r1-avatar1.jpg

Did you look to see if the image is actually there? Have you checked the permissions on blogs.dir and the existing subfolders? Right now, it doesn’t even want to show the image at all.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

You can always check out TRAC to see if anyone reported it as well. I have a ticket for this at:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/204

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

I created a ticket, but suspect that this will be introduced later.

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/205

Trent

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

That is part of the roadmap and I believe it will be in the first release of buddypress as well.

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

If it isn’t showing up in the admin area, it must just be a naming problem. It should be the structure of:

/wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/

It would seem that maybe there might be a typo on the member-theme versus member-themes or something similar?

[@trent Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

This is a great source for plugins.

http://wpmudev.org/plugins/

There is a plugin for site-admin approval of registration. IT is either there or at:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/
