BuddyPress.org

I hope someone here already have a solution to this:

I am running wordpress MU with buddypress on top.

I have added the bp-events plugin.

Currently the search bar will only search members and groups and I would like for it to search through events too.

When I choose members in the dropdown list with the string x I see the following URL being called: http://mydomain.com/wpmu/members/?s=x

When I choose groups in the dropdown list with the string y I see the following URL being called: http://mydomain.com/wpmu/groups/?s=y

I have edited the file that builds the dropdown list and now it also contains the Events option but when I choose that option for some reason the URL being caled when I search for event z is: http://mydomain.com/wpmu/members/?s=z

I am not sure what I am doing wrong but it seems after my debugging that a parameter called _wp_http_referer is not getting the right value when the Events option is selected. instead of being wpmu/events/?s=z it is changing to wpmu/members/?s=z and this is what causing the URL to be wrong.

It would be great if someone can point me to a solution or to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,

Shai

To be honest you aren’t going to get much/any support based on bugs in previous versions of BuddyPress as we may have fixed them in the more recent versions.

I’m sorry.. Correction I didn’t have #2451on PHP 4.. So they both are working fine for under several server conditions. I’ve closed the ticket.

please confirm if anyone else is still seeing errors past revision 2454.

I use this as temporary solution:

function js_restrict_access(){

global $bp, $bp_unfiltered_uri;



if (!is_user_logged_in() &&

(BP_MEMBERS_SLUG == $bp_unfiltered_uri[0] ||

BP_GROUPS_SLUG == $bp->current_component ||

BP_BLOGS_SLUG == $bp->current_component)){



bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . "/register" );



}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'js_restrict_access', 3 );

It closes the members, groups and blogs sections for non-registered users. You have to put it in bp-custom.php.

Privacy is planned for a later version, maybe, or maybe not.

PHP 5 is fine, but I’m still able to duplicate the error in PHP 4 ~ ticket #1641

I’m in the same boat as @do77 here.

I’m looking to add a login for all content at my buddypress instance.

I, however, am running WordPress 2.9.1 (single) and the Buddypress trunk (I update once a week)

I have the “Force User Login” plugin for WordPress currently running, but you can still navigate around it if you try via direct URL requests and the like.

Any solid solutions?

GENIUS!

This worked perfectly for me.

To be honest, so far the nightly trunk is running better than anything for me.

Buddypress has a super-bright future with all these smart people working on it.

You’ve been warned though!

I’d like to comment for anyone who comes across this thread, if you do this just to get into the bbpress admin panel, *none* of the changes will carry across into BuddyPress -> Groups -> Forums views. You have to run an external bbPress installation for that to happen.

Copied the file as you recommended and still can’t find an admin panel for bbpress. Where do I go after copying the file?

Also, I took the bb-config.php file from the root, but there’s bb-config-sample.php in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bbpress/ are those the same?

Anyway…where’s the bbpress admin panel?

Best,

Dainis

PS: Is it because I installed buddypress first and then used the one click thing to install bbpress? I really don’t feel like wiping everything out and starting over just to re-order the installs…

You’d probably be better off downloading the latest trunk version and overwriting all BuddyPress files.

Before you overwrite though, deactivate BuddyPress.

OK, to bring the thread back to the original subject, in the current version of my site I use Burt Adsit’s solution for the most immediate privacy problem, making members sections members-only:

function js_restrict_access(){

global $bp, $bp_unfiltered_uri;



if (!is_user_logged_in() &&

(BP_MEMBERS_SLUG == $bp_unfiltered_uri[0] ||

BP_GROUPS_SLUG == $bp->current_component ||

BP_BLOGS_SLUG == $bp->current_component)){



bp_core_redirect( get_option('home') . "/register" );



}

}

add_action( 'wp', 'js_restrict_access', 3 );

Put that in bp-custom.php and it works pretty painlessly. It doesn’t have a built-in message to let the user know why he’s being redirected though.

Haven’t tried Jeff Sayre solution yet, but apparently it has some problems. I’ll try that one in my next upgrade to BP 1.2 and WP 3.0.

Also commercial membership plugins apparently have built-in privacy features, so that could be a solution. Haven’t gotten that far yet…

Non-admin page creation works great! This is super simple an will encourage people to be more active! Small detail but great impact! I would suggest to move the create a wiki page box to the top.

Since there is a Group Wiki Directory Table that shows all pages, what is the benefit of having all pages listed on top? It looks kind of clunky and confusing?

I did a little mockup to clarify what i mean: http://i47.tinypic.com/15r0di0.png

By the way the Group Wiki Directory Table seems to be a good starting point for a global Wiki Directory Page.

Great work! This plugin will become super useful especially if you use buddypress for students! Great first RC!

EDIT: I just looked at the mockup and saw that i added vertical-align: top instead of middle. Just if someone is wondering.

EDIT 2: @David: I can understand the benefit of showing all buttons on the editor, but i also know how confusing all these buttons are for avarage users. It’s easier for a tech user to press a button for advanced options instead of confusing avarage users with to many buttons. But sure, thats personal taste.

@auturo Since I see you and others are posting some new questions in the forum about bbpress integration. perhaps ya’ll should follow Boones’ lead on it regarding (whether to maintain an external installation of bbPress or migrate over). https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-integration-after-bp-upgrade I believe the groundwork for what you need to know is here.

You’ll need to add a bb-config.php file to the bp-forums directory in order to access it. You can take a look at this thread.

hi Peter

We understand you pointing to the issues. There is no problem with that. It is a community project and Automattic and Andy is doing the good things for us. Automattic does not get funds for supporting wp+wpmu+bp(well Now they may get as WordPress foundation has been formed).

Instead of criticizing, if we appreciate what they have done for us and politely ask for the features, I am sure, Andy is listening and will be glad to accomodate.

Buddypress is one of the great project and see how much improvement has been in recent times. Please do not take the things personal, and let us keep the community constructive, It will be better for all of us.

Hope you don’t mind my words. Yes, currently Bp is more developer friendly than the end user, but with time, It has improved so much and you may expect it to be much more end user friendly by bp 1.3(my guess)

Please let us keep it constructive.

@all, Please keep this thread free from personal attacks before DjPaul sees this thread

If you are comparing an open source project to a car manufacturer then you don’t get it. Did you pay for BuddyPress?

Automattic is a regular company. WP is supposedly aimed at content creators, not developers. If WP/WPMU/BP lacks certain key functionality that forces users to get into coding, it fails in its mission. As a user I’m free to point that out without having to pay tribute to the developers first. I didn’t pay for WP/BP, but don’t have any obligations towards Automattic either.

@Erich73, I didn’t start turning this thread into an attack on me.

@Peterverkooijen

If you are comparing an open source project to a car manufacturer then you don’t get it. Did you pay for BuddyPress? Andy is right, you sound like a troll. You should word your posts to sound more constructive and stop taking shots at the developers.

There are many ways to contribute besides writing code. You can write documentation, help organize developers, write specs for plugins/features and put together a team of people to make it happen.

There’s no need to worry about privacy features in BuddyPress. As I have stated previously on these forums and on my blog, I am committed to bringing my current Privacy Component up to code to work with BP 1.2. With the 1.2-beta coming out very soon, I plan to use that to finalize the new privacy codebase.

As it has been discussed before, it will be up to the community to decide the fate of my BP privacy solution. If it is deemed sufficiently useful, valuable, and robust, it will be considered for eventual inclusion into the core.

But, I’ll stress once more, that this is not my decision. Going forward, I fully expect some form of privacy to make it into core down the road—whether it is my code, part of my code, or new code.

well, this should help you. You need the privacy component.
