BuddyPress.org

Buddypress is a wordpress plugin, it is designed to be integrated with WordPress – it builds on its core features.

Firstly install WordPress (takes a few moments), add the Buddypress plugin and then work your pre-existing content in.

Because of feature updates, security, bug and reliability fixes it would be somewhat foolish to tear apart the plugin to use with your custom php.

Hello,

Within that plugin you can set it (without having to modify the plugin) to just to friends, private or public, this is done from within the plugin page within wordpress, this then allows the user to chose on the front end.

I might also suggest,

http://bp-tutorials.de/2010/09/private-buddypress

This plugin makes your whole install private to non logged in users, thus creating another layer of privacy.

I hope this helps somewhat.

I managed to solve my problem by:

1. Unchecking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
2. Renaming bb-config.php in your WordPress installation root directory to something else (making BuddyPress believe that bbPress is not installed).
3. Re-checking the forums component in the BuddyPress Component settings page.
4. Re-installing the group forum component in the BuddyPress Settings “Forum” tab.

Hope this can help someone else as well, was really frustrating not being able to post anything.

i don’t believe their are any plugins available that would help, so if your uncomfortable with code, you may need to hire a developer.

Otherwise, if your a developer or atleast somewhat comfortable around code then the members loop (1) sounds exactly like what your after with some help from this tutorial (2) from @sbrajesh
