Not sure you can do what you want easily though.

Not sure why this wasn’t in core! or why there’s been so much faffing around on this topic when your solution looks pretty straightforward!

An issue as I see it is to some extent nomenclature what is a ‘Domain’? is a domain ‘example.com’ or ‘.com’ the answer ought to be that they both are or at least one is a TLD which to my minnd is still a ‘domain’

One possible fault with this issue appears to me to lie with the wording of the WP/MPMU – > WPMS options for limited and banned emails ; we have for Limited domains ‘ If you want to limit site registrations to certain domains. One domain per line. ‘ so I figure I’ll add .’com’ now the only registrations I will accept are from emails addresses residing in that domain space, but this doesn’t work and any email addies such as ‘joeuser @example.com’ are blocked. So ‘Limited email domains’ is just that limited to full domains and as such not greatly useful, there are many domains in existence how do I know which I want to allow, this limiting only suits something like a corporate environment where you definitely knew you only wanted registrations from your own domain or a limited few others.

Far far more useful would have been if this was a white list and allowed you to set TLDs and then perhaps further block specific domains within that TLD.

At the moment with your script I think there’s an issue? If you have set a domain in ‘limited’ then that will overrule a banned domain your script is voided, which may be fine under the circumstances.

Remove the ‘limited’ entry and your script appears to work fine, thanks for working a solution up; sadly though it’s a matter of hacking core files which isn’t good.

Can you add this as a Trac ticket patch/enhancement for 1.3 please then it may get added to core.

BuddyPress works fine on IIS. In fact, one of the lead developers use a Windows/IIS setup. What version of IIS are you using and what problems do you get stuck on?

@JordashTalon

You’re welcome! Glad it’s working.

No experience using it (obviously), but I did just see this plugin that limits the number of groups a user can create.

It is rather easier to work with if you’re starting a site than if you’re modifying an existing one, I’d imagine. I’m sure you’ll find other ways to engage people. (I did briefly look at Mingle, but can’t say as I feel strongly one way or another about it.)

Ok. Here’s the code. Find this in bp-core-signup.php

if ( is_array( $limited_email_domains ) && empty( $limited_email_domains ) == false ) {
$emaildomain = substr( $user_email, 1 + strpos( $user_email, ‘@’ ) );

if ( in_array( $emaildomain, (array)$limited_email_domains ) == false )
$errors->add( ‘user_email’, __( ‘Sorry, that email address is not allowed!’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
}

BELOW IT, ADD THIS;

//MY HACK
$banned_email_domains = get_site_option( ‘banned_email_domains’, ‘buddypress’ );

if ( is_array( $banned_email_domains ) && empty( $banned_email_domains ) == false ) {
$emaildomain = substr( $user_email, 1 + strpos( $user_email, ‘@’ ) );

if ( in_array( $emaildomain, (array)$banned_email_domains ) == true )
$errors->add( ‘user_email’, __( ‘Sorry, that email address is not allowed!’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
}
//MY HACK

Hey gang,

I had this problem also. The reason it is so hard to pin down is because there are two steps to fixing it.

1. Once the BP is installed ok, the db tables don’t actually get created until you visit the Forums tab.

2. Deactivate the buddypress plug-in and then Activate it again.

That’s it. All the rest of it is unnecessary (removing Ajax plugins and so on).

Doesn’t it show up in both theirs and yours here on Buddypress.org, too? Guess I’ll have a re-looksie….

Uhoh, lost some code in your last reply here. Members has also gone away. DId you disable BP in frustration, or is that a result of whatever changes to index.php you mention?

(Sorry, the problem with forums, we’re in and out of windows and sometimes slow to reply)

To be a bit clearer, here’s the info from the style.css file on making a child theme:
Instead, please read this codex page on how to build a BuddyPress child theme:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

And if you decide not to make a child theme, make sure you put any modified styling info after these lines:

/***
* The default theme styles.
*/
@import url( _inc/css/default.css );

/***
* The admin bar default styles
*/
@import url( _inc/css/adminbar.css );

Actually, I believe this is the more relevant code:
ul#nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
right: 15px;
list-style: none;
bottom: 0;
max-width: 65%;
}
ul#nav li {
float: left;
margin: 0 5px 0 0;
}
ul#nav li a {
display: block;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px 15px;
background: url( ../images/60pc_black.png );
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 3px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 3px;
}
ul#nav li.selected a, ul#nav li.current_page_item a {
background: #f5f5f5;
color: #555;
}
ul#nav a:focus { outline: none; }

Are you just using the default theme?
If you’re going to mod very much at all, you should technically create a child theme and work from there, although it’s easy enough to save your CSS as you go.
(Hey, smart forum members, is there already a skeleton theme somewhere? I could probably post one, if not.)

Anyway, assuming you’re working from the default theme, find the folder “bp-default” in the “bp-themes” folder in the buddypress plugin folder. Then open style.css and, working from the above, after the existing lines in the style.css file, add only the parts that pertain to color (e.g., ul#nav li:hover > a{background-color:#330033; color:#9900FF;}
). That way, as long as you remember to backup this file regularly, you’ll know exactly what you’ve modified from the original.

If you want a menu with dropdowns, we’ll need to add some other code. Can pretty easily modify it to use WP3’s new custom menus. You can also remove (some or all of) the buddypress bits from that top menu if you want less clutter.

@Boonebgorges

I’ve spent a few hours playing around with BP based on info in this thread but am having some trouble. Does anyone know how to make it so that only updates from the group admin appear in the “Activity” feed?

Thanks

Looks like you have two separate divs with id of “container.” You only want to use an id once per page….use classes for multiple similar instances within a given page. I’m not sure if that’s THE problem, but I doubt it’s helping your code.

@jonnylons

Don’t know about the post, but here’s the plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/

I got the same problem. Did anyone know whether the plugin that caused it. I’m using WordPress 3.0.1, BuddyPress 1.2.5.2 , and so many plugins.
