BuddyPress.org

You mean the BP adminbar Here’s how to have adminbar only in site where BP is installed.

P.S. don’t forget to add the opening `<?php` at the top of the code

I can tell you, that it’s not defined as bp_core_add_message.

The messages are a Div class defined in default CSS from buddypress. And the messages are placed in the same position in the php file in every instance you are seeing. There is no universal function for this.

Forums aren’t there to get your frustration out there, whatever the reasons. Of course, sometimes you can’t help it, but then you should just move on afterwards. You have to keep in mind that most developers code plugins in their spare time. If Jeff releases his code or not is beside the point. If he does, then maybe some form of privacy plugin might come out of it, if not, then it’s his decission. Once a GPL plugin is released it’s in the public domain and people can build on it. If it’s not released, then nobody has any claim on it. As far as I’m aware, all donators to bp-privacy have been refunded, so the discussion should end here. There are options regarding privacy and for now you’ll just have to do with those.

This is your THIRD post you have made on this problem.

Both issues related to the Arras theme integration with BuddyPress albeit via different routes. Bigjimmysisco, patience. Not everybody is using Brownbuddy.

Ah, yeah, if you are trying to access things in an ajaxy way, and you’re not hooking into WP in the right way, you might hit some problems because BP and other plugins might not be fully loaded. Were you using a wp_ajax_ hook? Generally speaking, you can’t simply include BP files manually and have things work properly – all of WP needs to be loaded. https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins#Ajax_on_the_Viewer-Facing_Side

I’m not sure I entirely understand your suggestion about an additional template. If you have even a rough sense of what such a thing might look like, I invite you to work up a patch (even a super sketchy one) and post it as an enhancement ticket on trac.buddypress.org (with your buddypress.org user/pass).

@joshua_d I locked the other thread because of your comment, “(Jeff) has held up the development of a working privacy component for over a year now” which is confrontational and simply not true. If you want to discuss further, my email is paul at byotos.com.

I´m also going to use BuddyPress as an intranet. Its for a company and it is going to be completely locked down if users arent logged in.
Can you please share some experiences with your intranet solution. The biggest question i have is to “lock down” the site when users are logged out. No information is allowed to be exposed. Do you have the same setup? That the user have to be logged in before accessing any information?
I´m thinking about RSS feeds. How can i restrict access to them? I want to have BP email updates instead.
What plugis/hacks are you using to achieve your intranet solution?
What modules/functions do you have active? Groups? Forum? more?
Do you have a solution for sending email updates to users when someone reply to a forum post?

1. Do you use a plugin like ‘Members only’ to restrict access?
2. I´m thinking about RSS feeds. How can i restrict access to them? I want to have BP email updates instead.

Sorry we couldn’t be of more help. I am really perplexed about your situation. There must be a conflict with something else in your setup, as I have never heard of this kind of problem before. If you ever feel like sharing the code you wrote to replace it, feel free.

Turn off WP_DEBUG, or if you haven’t set it, set PHP’s error reporting level to something like E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_USER_NOTICE.
We’ve fixed these in the upcoming 1.3 release of BuddyPress.
