BuddyPress.org

A potential solution is to customize the BuddyPress plugin or use a custom code snippet to modify how posts from private or hidden groups are displayed. You can use a function that checks if a user is a member of a private or hidden group, then filter the posts accordingly for the dashboard widget. Activadorr

function custom_filter_dashboard_activity($query) {
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $user_id = get_current_user_id();
        
        // Get user groups
        $user_groups = groups_get_user_groups($user_id);
        
        // Filter activity to show only from the user's groups
        $query->set('in', implode(',', $user_groups['groups']));
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('bp_has_activity', 'custom_filter_dashboard_activity');

Hi Bradley,

To display group-specific posts on the dashboard while maintaining privacy, you can use a custom query to fetch activity from only the groups a user belongs to. Add the following to your theme’s functions.php:

`php
function bp_custom_dashboard_activity( $args ) {
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$group_ids = bp_get_user_groups( $user_id );
if ( ! empty( $group_ids ) ) {
$args[‘filter’][‘object’] = ‘groups’;
$args[‘filter’][‘primary_id’] = $group_ids;
}
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_after_has_activities_parse_args’, ‘bp_custom_dashboard_activity’ );
`

This ensures only posts from the user’s private or hidden groups show on their dashboard. For wiki articles, use group IDs as metadata to filter visibility. Test thoroughly to maintain privacy.

Let me know if you need help refining this further!

have you set the BP to private? Or installed a privacy plugin?

Three things:

– I can’t replicate the issue you have.
– user_name is not a valid field, btw. It was deprecated.

Using the followwing payload, I actually get this in BuddyPress 14.0 since you are using + in the user_login, that’s not valid.

Request Payload.

Yep could you create a new thread for this? It just means we keep to the same topic and it won’t confuse future viewers.

I’ve decided to write a new bp privacy plugin which makes all bbp, wp, and bp pages private, disables xml rpc and also rest, removes the rss links and aims to deal with all privacy issues in one plugin, with settings to give flexibility.

Hi, Please any one knows a Plugin like “BuddyDrive” I need the administrator be able to send private files to a specific user or users, please I would appreciate any suggestions, I’m desperate

Is there any chance that end-to-end encryption will be implemented for private messages?
