BuddyPress.org

I haven’t tried it so not 100% sure how compatible this one is:

Hi Andrea,

Maybe not the most straightforward method, but a loop roughly like this would do it:
`if ( bp_group_has_members( array( ‘group_id’ => $group_x_id, ‘per_page’ => 100000 ) ) ) {
while ( bp_group_members() ) {
bp_group_the_member();

$user_id = bp_get_group_member_id();

// Don’t do this if the user is already a member
if ( groups_is_user_member( $user_id, $group_y_id ) ) {

$new_member = new BP_Groups_Member;
$new_member->group_id = $group_y_id;
$new_member->user_id = $user_id;
$new_member->inviter_id = 0;
$new_member->is_admin = 0;
$new_member->user_title = ”;
$new_member->date_modified = bp_core_current_time();
$new_member->is_confirmed = 1;

$new_member->save();

groups_update_groupmeta( $group_y_id, ‘total_member_count’, (int) groups_get_groupmeta( $group_y_id, ‘total_member_count’) + 1 );
}
}
}`

I haven’t tested that, but something very much like it should work.

I think this post is something similar to what you are asking: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-groups-visibile-but-invite-only/

== There are two options there for ‘My Groups’ and ‘Invites’ ==

That’s from the BP Admin Bar. To create a group, go to http://yoursite.com/groups, then click on “Create a Group” link just beside the page title – Groups Directory. Or to go straight to creating a group, just type in http://yoursite.com/groups/create

I am too, just had this issues and am looking for the answer. Fatal error: Call to undefined function submit_button() in /home/content/05/7936605/html/wp-content/themes/wp-framework/groups/single/send-invites.php on line 66. Below is line 66 from my code:

Instead of adding your tournament code directly into the bp_dtheme_ajax_invite_user() function, you’d need to duplicate and rename that entire function and add_action and do a search and replace for groups to tournaments.

@smiranda there is a backend group management plugin that Admins can use to physically put members into groups

@boonebgorges invite-anyone plugin has template file “which can be overridden with a template file at groups/single/invite-anyone.php”
https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/invite-anyone/tags/0.8.9/group-invites/templates/invite-anyone.php

Next time, it’ll be better if you post at the Invite Anyone plugin forums so plugin dev will be able to see your post https://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/forum/

I’m sorry, @mention can be got although without friend relationship, but I can’t invite someone to join any group without friend feature…

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-docs/
If you create a hidden group, only group admin and invited members of the group can access these pages.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/
Five stars!

Do not worry about the compatibility warning. There’s something wrong with the processing of the plugin page somewhere @boonebgorges

put this in your themes functions.php

`
global $bp;
if(!is_super_admin())
bp_core_remove_subnav_item($bp->groups->id, “send-invites”);

`
That should do it.

Hi can you help me. I can’t create groups in BuddyPress. There is no link on the Admin Bar to create, just My Groups and Invites. I have reloaded BuddyPress and even started a new site and it won’t work. This has been a problem for many and I have searched many forums but, have not found a fix.

Can you help or point me in the right direction?

Don

@acaps2007
@ScottWatson
the post linked below says how to display the number of unread messages.

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-to-moverelocate-the-links-in-the-admin-bars-my-account-individuallyseparately-to-the-sidebar/

But I would prefer the idea @acaps2007 has proposed, that’s the “notification” item and the mouse over effect, since in a buddypress community, we would have
1. private messages
2. friend requests
3. group requests
4. group invites
5. mentions

Although the last one is not included in the default bp notification count, combining the previous four in one place would still help a lot.

off hand, two ways to make that happen:
a) You could make each group “hidden” and “by invitation” only. You could assign group admin to send email invites to the site and to the specific group. Since the group is hidden, it will not be listed in any groups directory, and you could always restrict showing list of member to Super Admin only with conditional tags.
or
b) You would need a separate install of BP and WP for the special sections you want to have. At this time, BP can only be installed once even in a multisite installation. There’s been some talk about a plugin for BP multisite but none have been released to the public yet.

You can use another plugin that requires to be invited via email, and once they register they can connect with WP-FB-Autoconnect. However, WP-FB-Autoconnect has been removed from WordPress.org, I’m not aware of what the reasoning was for that. If you’re wanting people to register and then be approved, you might want to consider putting up a form for them to apply & then you can send them the invitation through the plugin.

I agree. Invite Anyone is the best that’s out there so far. I think you’ll find this thread interesting: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/invite-anyone/forum/topic/different-ways-of-inviting/ I’d like to see it done as well. I’ve already done some integrations with Facebook, Twitter, etc. I just need to send what I’ve done to Boone to integrate it. I’d just been waiting for some of the other integrations to send it to him.
