BuddyPress.org

@philippmuenchen – it works fine. I’m guessing you’re trying to test it while you’re logged in as Admin? The privacy controls don’t apply to Admin. Admin can see everything. Log in as a regular user and then test.

@noizeburger – it works for all fieldgroups, not just Base.

@Symm2112, thanks a lot for your ’99’ status trick – it most definitely hides the user from everything in BP, just what is was looking for.

There are exclude page plugins for this but the next version of BP includes custom drop down menus that you can adjust via admin.

I think I’ve find an easy way to provide the effect you mentioned. It’s rather a css trick than a php-code way. Below is what I’ve find during this process:

First, I find the function bp_adminbar_notifications_menu() in bp-core-adminbar.php, but it only works when adminbar is enable, and it simply lists out all notifications rather than the “mouse-over” effect we want. It seems admin-bar.js is also required, which is totally beyond me.

So I realized that since it already requires adminbar to be enable in the first place, why are we bothering to duplicate this item, especially in so complex a way?

We just need to hide all other items in adminbar, and re-position the notification menu.

So finally I come up with this:

/** Play with admin-bar to grab notification menu */

#wp-admin-bar {
position: absolute;
}

#wp-admin-bar .padder {
background: none;
}

#wp-admin-bar .padder #admin-bar-logo, #wp-admin-bar .padder ul #bp-adminbar-account-menu, #wp-admin-bar .padder ul #bp-adminbar-blogs-menu, #wp-admin-bar .padder ul #bp-adminbar-thisblog-menu, #wp-admin-bar .padder ul #bp-adminbar-authors-menu, #wp-admin-bar .padder ul #bp-adminbar-visitrandom-menu {
display: none;
}

Now we have notification menu there, and it’s no longer a “always-in-the-front” item. What remains to be done is further defining the style of this little baby, its position, background color, font color, etc.

Hope this would do some help.

FYI: I put a more generic posting here (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-hide-content-related-to-members-who-are-registered-but-not-activated/#post-85519) if the admins think this is too off-topic

by that, I meant we will use the WP admin bar if we have time. Otherwise, the current solution is that we hide the WP admin bar when used with BuddyPress.

Well it’s hidden! can’t say why as it’s a custom theme.

if you want to see if it works enclose the ruleset in comments

`
/*
#wp-admin-bar, #wp-admin-bar.padder {
height: 0;
display: none; /* Hide it- not required. */

}
*/
`
Of course this will depend on whether the original styles for adminbar are being called and whether they suit the layout as to whether anything is seen.

This is something that is expressed from time to time i.e “More friendly interface” but it’s one of those things that slightly puzzles me again this is WP and the method of running it is the dashboard and that shouldn’t be a barrier for people really. There are however a few front end posting plugins which essentially drag the dashboard create post page/function to the frontend of a site that may make things a little simpler for users, but not sure on user blogs whether it’s easy or possible to then further abstract or hide the dashboard.

Any new update on this one?
