I noticed in the wp_bp_xprofile_fields table, there is a column, “is_public”, but I don’t see the templates actually checking for this flag or the admin panel allowing this flag to be set.
I did come across bp_field_has_public_data, so I was wondering if I could just swap out bp_field_has_data for bp_field_has_public_data in the loop, if it would hide profile fields marked as private?
I see that there is a way to hide the admin/header panel for non-logged in users but is there a way to make it not show for all users – logged in or not?
I would maybe think a good utility would be to hook into the visibility of the forum in buddypress, and simply hide the forum on disable, and show it on enable. Then again, since that is a core BP function, it wouldn’t really know how to do that without your plugin. Hmm…
About the ‘original admin user,’ when you first install wpmu, the user with the name ‘admin’ is created. Then when you integrate bbPress into it, you typically use that same ‘admin’ as your key master user.
Is there an easy way to follow the path that creating a group forum topic takes? For some reason right now they’re not communicating because even if I create a topic in bbPress, BuddyPress doesn’t load it.
Yes, it is certainly not working correctly for me then. Crud. Yeah even when I try to post in the group forum through buddy press, it doesn’t work… Hmms… I’m going to need to retrace my steps this evening and see what is amiss…
I understand what you’re saying about non-group forums, and that makes perfect sense. I may eventually migrate all of my forums to be group forums, but we’ll see how things go…
Question. If I edit the group and disable the forum all together, what should happen? Currently, it seems to do nothing. It doesn’t delete the forum, and it doesn’t hide it from the view of bbPress. It just hides it from the BP group forum area.
This may be a silly question to ask at this point in the game but in the bbPress forums area of the site admin where it says “The username for the user (with admin rights) that you created for BuddyPress integration” is it safe to assume that this is the original admin user?
I’ve renamed my admin account to get around this. However, i’d like to get a way of hiding the bbpress forum user account for the user listing on the home page. Andy could we get a filter added in for this?
Is there an obvious way to hide the Admin user from Buddypress (members, etc.)?
Hy,
same problem here, on wp mu 2.7,
plus after having ‘runned’ that file twice with same alert.wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-xprofile/admin-mods/bp-xprofile-account-tab.php (just to see what happen)
homepage (on ‘root’+ BuddyPress Home Theme) did appear without most of the previously selected widgets (only the center/middle coloum did ‘survive’).
funnily, so to speak, on the widgets board them appear deactivated,
the “self-deactivated” widgets (after the double run of ‘ bp-xprofile-account-tab.php ‘ or incidentally at the same time but for other unknown reasons)
are:
- Welcome
- Members
- Who’s Online
- Site Wide Activity
- Recent Blog Posts
-
- Groups
so all dinamic related plugs
Unafected widgets,in the Homepage, as this matter did possibily trigger homepage only (apparently)
- pages
- Recent post
- Calendar
- Search
- Archives
I’ve reactivated the ‘rebels’ widgets on their original position, content and setting
were not affected by this incident
I will hide (//) that string, even if I’m quite sure that function was working up to this morning, when I had All in One SEO , Google XML Sitemaps , and Post to SimpleMachines Forum SMF plugin already working
I did a back up before to install:Add to Any: Share/Save/Bookmark Button- AJAX Comment Preview -OpenID – and SEO Smart Links,so I’m going to deactivate theese latests plug
and see what happen backing up of 4-5 hors.
please read this post as feedback.
cheers 🙂
Thanks for the input. I chose burtadsit’s suggestion and it works fine, but I realize now that I need the News page as a widget or some other solution. Here’s my situation:
1. I don’t want to have member blogs, only users posting to the main blog, so that means not installing bp-blogs in order to hide it across the site.
2. I do need the recent blog posts to arrive on the buddypress-home theme, but without bp-blogs installed the widget isn’t available. So I’m thinking if I could get the News widgetized it would pull posts to the home page instead.
3. I could install bp-blogs to simpley get the widget (what I have right now), but that means removing all instances of ‘blog’ throughout the site including buddypress member areas and that seems like a bad route to go.
4. I have the Prologue post-form installed on the buddypress-home theme just above the three columns of widgets, thus eliminating any need for users to ever see the wpmu admin panel. This should allow me to keep all users as members vs. blog owners.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
