BuddyPress.org

Privacy controls are in the development roadmap, I think for version 1.3, release date tbd.

Until then you could use this code, but it doesn’t have a working ‘restricted area’ message with ajax or redirect, so you’ll have to code something yourself if you want to use it.

In this thread Chris Kenniburg mentions a Set Privacy Settings plugin.

Wickedbob,

Look at Community Blogs for BuddyPress (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs). You can turn a normal blog into a Community Blog or a Group Blog.

Seems to work for me, though not extensively tested.

Only note to consider with this members-only plugin is that it redirects users trying to get to the main blog/site, but if they have URL’s to other “pages” members pages, etc… they can get to those directly. The redirect doesn’t apply to those pages/sections. (at least not yet)

If you find a solution to this problem wpmu/buddypress-wide, please let me know. I’m looking for a similar solution.

This is not a BuddyPress issue. It is a WPMU issue. I would suggest searching the WPMU forum for an answer. If you cannot find an answer there, then post a new thread in that forum.

Okay, so you’ve successfully upgraded to WPMU 2.8.3.

Did you finish the WPMU upgrade by logging into the backend as the Site Admin and going to “Site Admin > Upgrade” and hitting the “Upgrade Site” button?

After that, you go to Plugins menu group and under your BuddyPress plugin, it should say:

There is a new version of BuddyPress available. View version 1.0.3 Details or upgrade automatically.

Ahh. I see! I gotcha now.

I have seen this behavior in IE when you try to put a width on the body tag… which the default theme does. The simple solution is just to get rid of any width declarations on body (or maybe 100% would work) so the entire problem goes away. Just add a wrapper div around your entire site and put your page width on that. Open it as the first thing after body and close it just before the close body tag. Give it an id and then apply your width to that… so…

HTML

<html>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">

[everything else]

</div>

</body>

</html>

CSS in site-wide.css

body {

min-width: 100%;

max-width: 100%;

}



#wrapper {

width: 970px;

}

Of course… this means editing your theme files (header and footer)… not just overriding some CSS. But I think this would be a better solution than relying on javascript hacks. Also, I have not tested this in IE… so I’m not 100% sure it will work. You might have to edit the base.css files to completely remove the min-max width declarations rather than just overriding them with 100% in the site-wide.css file.

David,

Sorry realised that I’d already got body width at a fixed size but not in site-wide, which when looking at it now seems obvious.

Problem with IE however is in the calculating of sizes. When a user resizes the screen some elements are left floating and are not in line with the rest of the page. Hitting refresh works but it doesn’t help the user experience.

The body width works fine in most cases, but the need to fix the rendering bug in IE is what has been causing the problem. That is what the javascript has been about. But in drilling down through various forums, the answer has been to try and fix the css. The problem seems to be the inheritance or lack of it of position:relative in IE. Adding this to a top-level div seems to work (for me anyway)…

Hope that makes sense…..

hi there,

Integration was smooth for me, except for one thing

here is the site in question: http://www.waapsols.com

Its running Buddypress.

These are the steps I followed to integrate BB and BP… https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-103-and-bbpress-which-version-plugins-cookies#post-20006

WPMU, BP, and BB is working good. But I just can’t get the logins to work, I mean when I login into WPMU, I am not automatically logged into BBPress Forum.

I am guessing thats the reason why in my BuddyPress, the forum is working fine, but who ever posts, there is no gravtar or name is seen

Can someone help, what might have gone wrong.?

I guess this is the latest trunk. Is there a faster way to download this thing or is file by file the only option?

And it’s actually not working. When I activate the plugin, the group forums disappear in all BP groups.

I have the same problem.

Some ideas?

It is part of the trunk; problem is that is under development and unstable versions of the code. It’s not recommended to run off the trunk version so I will let you find out where the BuddyPress SVN is and how to get the trunk version if you really want it.

Good news is, BuddyPress is due for v1.1 in a couple of weeks as far as I know, so you don’t have to wait long for the next stable, official release.

Hey there,

All the steps posted are just great and simple to follow

Thanks for it Graeme

Thanks JJJ for the tip.

I’ve been playing with it and it works for me only if the template page is called fun.php instead of example.php.

Anyway I find it very useful.

Thank you
