BuddyPress.org

Thanks a lot. In our case each site on the network will be using buddypress, but they won’t be sharing posts / comments between them. Also, all of these sites are sharing a single child theme. I suppose I could add a condition to the function to whitelist only the current site id, preventing updates streaming in from any of the other sites. Will give it a shot.

I started a new topic for the latest query here – https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-1-5b2-bp-options-per-site/

Thanks 4ella. I think this is a common sense extension of BuddyPress, so I’m looking at sponsoring a plugin for the community. If I do, any advice on how let the community know in addition to putting it on WordPress?

Hey Paul,

Yeah that was my very first port of call a couple of days ago. It didn’t seem to do the trick It’s got me stumped. It’s the last bug left for phase 1 of the project and it’s got me stumped!

Thanks @modemlooper. I had been considering having to do an option like that. I’ll give that one a whirl tomorrow and see how I go.

Hey @djpaul, yeah they all have spaces in them. All the existing users come in with spaces in their name in a First Name, Last Name kind of way. I tried changing the ‘Nickname’ and ‘Display Name publicly as’ fields in my own profile to see what would happen yesterday and that obviously doesn’t have anything to do with it as you can see here: http://edgeqld.org.au/members/Bronson%20Quick/

I know the site was originally WordPress MU then it went to WP 3.0 then up to WP 3.2 and installed the BP theme and plugins on top of that. I didn’t have any existing users on my staging site so didn’t hit this problem til we went live….now I’m cowboy coding fixing bugs and I’m completely stuck with this one!

@mercime anything you can do to help?

I found this for the disable normal users for creating (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/group-administration/?topic_page=3&num=15) but would love to see anything that didn’t require changing the theme….

Also a concept on the 2nd point. I think if I could find were the logic to allow super admins to be a group admin and add logic to allow people in certain roles to do them as well… but I’m not sure were that would be..

Ok, so I finally got the code to do something without breaking the site, but it did the opposite of what I need. It still shows the posts on the home page for the group that I’m trying to hide, but the activity stream for that group no longer shows those posts…lol. I need the home page to hide those posts and the group activity stream for that group to show it’s own posts.

The code I used is as follows:

‘

‘

It is located in the file /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php. I am guessing I’m just working in the wrong file. Can anyone help me find where I need to insert this code (if it is even right)?

Hello modemlooper,

Thanks for your response. I still can’t quite get it to work though. I am not very good with PHP yet, so I assume it is my terrible coding. Here is how I tried to incorporate it into /buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/activity-loop.php:

while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity();
if(bp_get_group_name() != ‘Failed Sundays’ )
include( locate_template( array( ‘activity/entry.php’ ), false ) )
endif;
endwhile;

What am I doing wrong? Am I even in the right file?

Sorry for being such a noob…..
