I don’t know if this functionality exists already through a plugin but this is an idea to identify spammers and stop them before they affect a buddypress community:
Every new member is placed in a probationary ‘sandbox’ where all of their activity and interaction with the website is displayed only to them and the admin. Once the admin approves them as non-spammers, their activity is shared with the rest of the site and other members.
Think of it like a temporary shadow ban, the user doesn’t know that they are in a sandbox because they will see their own activity reflected on the site. But only admin and they are the ones seeing the activity.
So you are getting them to tip their hand, in a way, and give themselves away as spammers before they can pollute the site.
Or think of it as when a regular WP blog holds comments in a moderation queue. Except this is not just comments but all activity on a WP+BP site. And once the member is approved, then their future posts will not go into the moderation queue but be automatically approved since they have already shown themselves to not be spammers.
What do you think of this idea? does it exist already? look forward to your thoughts
Wordpress Version: 3.5.1
Buddypress Version: 1.7.2
Site (specifically with the example of what I’m talking about): http://feedmypopheart.net/members/the-little-monster/profile/public/Basically, I have a HUGE amount of pages that will continue to grow. And on many pages, especially the profile page, each page that I have authored/created showed up and it is making page load times and the length of said pages HUGE. Any help on how to get rid of them/keep them from showing up? Thanks!
Hi guys,
I’m a new BuddyPress user. I’m using WP 3.5.1. I don’t what version of BP I’m using but I guess it will be the most recent. My website is http://www.whichinvestmenttrust.com
Before installing BuddyPress I used Akismet to block Spam accounts registering to comment on my WP site and this worked pretty well. I had hoped that this would work with BuddyPress too but I notice that since I’ve installed BP I have a lot of new members registering whom I am pretty sure are Spammers. I haven’t activated their accounts as a result. In fact I’ve hardly activated anyone’s for fear of allowing spammers in.
Either Akismet doesn’t work with BP or I haven’t configured it properly?
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I might manager this better? I have found a site recommending S2Member and I found someone else recommending I remove reference to BP on the default footer in WP.
Thanks, Dice
Hi,
I have read the following and it does not go into full detail for what I need; http://codex.buddypress.org/user/buddypress-components-and-features/groups/how-to-join-a-private-group/This is the scenario.
1) User A creates private group
2) User A sends invite to user B
3) User B receives notification of group invitation.
(this is where it gets interesting)
4) User B sees that they have a group invitation notification and goes to the group page
5) User B then notices that the page still says “Request Membership”
6) User B goes to notifications and notices the notification, does not click accept
7) User B goes back to group page and is now a member
8) User B goes back to notification page and still has notification.
I have duplicated up until 6
My notification is removed from notification page
Any thoughts?
My progammer has an account here and over a couple years has very few posts and replies, and I have even less.
For three days I’ve had a site broken and she tells me she is unable to get her post to appear, and she’s tried the same problem three times since Monday. This morning she gave me HER login, I tried, and yep, it just disappears.
Then I found someone else with a similar problem as ours (member sorting was broken after upgrade) and I posted there (as her) but the same thing happened. I looked in my history (as her) to see if they were there, It was as if i’d never posted.
Something is broken – her username is Dzynit – Can someone get her back in or must she create a new account and lose the history?
thanks
EDIT – re similar problem where you also posted more info about your install http://buddypress.org/support/topic/members-directory-sorting-not-working/ ~~~ mercime
Posted this yesterday, but it confused even me — so I’m not surprised it wasn’t addressed.
Basically, I’m using the bbPress login widget to handle site-wide logins.
But when users try to login immediately after activation, they’re technically logged it, but BP spits out an error anyway. Here’s the screen shot …
Thoughts?
PS – A note to admins/keymasters — One thing I’ve noticed with bbPress and BuddyPress is that while the software is lovely, there are quite a few holes in terms of UX. i.e. bbPress will say things like “You must be logged in to post” but doesn’t offer a login or register link. On BP’s side, the account becomes activated, but no additional help is provided — no links, login form, etc. Users love actions!
Hello!
After a major update to BuddyPress (from 1.5.x to 1.7.2), I am having issues with my Groups page. I know that there were major changes to that section of code, but I can’t figure out how to make it work. Here’s a link to the page:
http://aldenplace.com/community/groups/
We’re running BP 1.7.2, WP 3.5.1.
What I’ve tried: 1) Change permalinks, 2) Change themes back to BP default, 3) Revert to a database copy from prior to the upgrade, 4) Separately, revert to a copy of the BP-Groups and Groups (in themes) folders, 5) Try creating a new group which also upon completing the final step, hits a 404.
I’m thinking it’s something obvious I’m missing, and any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance…
I want to modify the Buddypress core files to add a feature which I need to submit to the trac to be used in future Buddypress releases. This feature lets the user set the the throttling time (in seconds) under Buddypress Settings (wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings), a number which would then be used for preventing flooding on the activity page.
I added the new throttling setting field next to the other fields but when I enter a number, it just doesn’t save it. However, it does save an option under the wp_options table with my option key but with a value of 0.
Here’s what I added so far:
in bp-core-admin.php:
add_settings_field( 'bp-enable-activity-throttling', __( 'Set Activity Throttling Time', 'buddypress' ), 'bp_admin_setting_callback_activity_throttle', 'buddypress', 'bp_activity' ); register_setting( 'buddypress', 'bp-enable-activity-throttling', 'bp_sanitize_activity_throttling' );in bp-core-options.php:
function bp_sanitize_activity_throttling( $default = 0 ) { return (int) apply_filters( 'bp_sanitize_activity_throttling', (int) bp_get_option( 'bp-enable-activity-throttling', $default ) ); }in bp-core-settings.php:
function bp_admin_setting_callback_activity_throttle() { ?> <input id="bp-enable-activity-throttling" name="bp-enable-activity-throttling" type="text" value="<?php bp_form_option( 'bp-enable-activity-throttling', '' ); ?>" /> <?php }At the bottom of the bp-core-settings.php file, there’s a function called bp_core_admin_settings_save which gets all fields from the Settings page and saves them. In this function I debugged what the $_POST array was receiving from the Settings page and my setting was there with its value! So the code should have saved my new setting with its value in the wp_options table.
I got frustrated and tried to debug some more, to no avail.
Does anyone know how to add my setting to the Buddypress core files?
Hello,
I need to be able to disable users ocasionaly and re-enable them later on, but i’ve noticed that BuddyPress now erases all the profile data associated with a disabled user, except for his name and e-mail. This is actually a very cool upgrade for public buddypress sites that were getting severely spammed, so i’m happy this upgrade exists.
However for my particular case, its a private site and I really need to keep the user data intact when disabling.
Could anyone help me out with this?
Thank you,
C.
