@bphelp I missed my greater than sign in starting out the page. Now your code doesn’t show, but when I log out, i get an error across the top of the screen instead:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-content/themes/frisco-for-buddypress/members/index.php:12) in /home/*****/public_html/inlandcoder/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 876

@bphelp I tried this and when I refreshed my site, all of your code appears below the admin bar on my site — above my header.

I created a new page and named it “new page here.”

Here’s your code with my info:

function bp_guest_redirect() {

global $bp; if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) { // enter the slug or component conditional here if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/new-page-here’ ); } // user will be redirect to any link to want } } add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);

Am I to insert my URL as well? I tried with and without changing it and that didn’t work either.

It stripped the code again. Just place this between opening and closing php tags in the bp-custom.php file:
`
function bp_guest_redirect() {
global $bp;
if ( bp_is_activity_component() || bp_is_groups_component() /*|| bbp_is_single_forum()*/ || bp_is_forums_component() || bp_is_blogs_component() || bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {
// enter the slug or component conditional here
if(!is_user_logged_in()) { // not logged in user
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
} // user will be redirect to any link to want
}
}
add_filter(‘get_header’,’bp_guest_redirect’,1);
`

the above reply stripped out the code so hopefully this will print out!
`

`

create a file named bp-custom.php that you will then place in yoursite/wp-content/plugins folder after you paste the following code in it:
`

`
Just change the /register in the line :
wp_redirect( get_option(‘siteurl’) . ‘/register’ );
to the page you want the logged out user to be directed too!
I found this somewhere on the net so props to whomever coded it!

to install the buddypress 1.7 plugin beta and it still not working.

@jimah for BP 1.7 beta 1, go to Settings > BuddyPress > Components and enable (check) Private Messaging and Save.

this is what i have for my bp-custom.php file:
`<?php

function 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 ||
‘forums’ == $bp->current_component ||
is_page_template(‘website here’)
)
) {

bp_core_redirect( get_option(‘home’) . “/private/” );

}
}

add_action( ‘wp’, ‘restrict_access’, 3 );

?>`

@xsci This is a year old thread and discusses an issue relating to BP 1.5.1;  BP is about to release version 1.7.

Please open a new thread, describe the issues you are having and what versions of BP / WP  you are using and please test any issues you are having are not custom theme related by dropping back to the bp default theme

Greetings,

Has a patch been created for this yet? I’m not the programmer and would love an easier way to update this.

Cheers!

Why not just use groups as a “region”, make them all private

@sbrajesh Thank you for this one! 😉

But I have another question, imagine I wanna to put the messages box (compose, reply, etc) in the side bar on a profile page only. As I saw, each instance of the private message comes with a url, like

Compose …/compose

Reply …/reply etc.

Could you point me for a possible solution?

Hi James, Here is an example code

http://pastebin.com/WA2rBjvH

You are right about the url part 🙂

Ok, forum does not allow me to post the html code.

After including the above code, you can use this function bp_custom_get_send_private_message_link to get the appropriate url.

Here is a simple solution. You will need to add following lines to your theme’s functions.php or bp-custom.php

`

/**
*
* @param int $to_id the user id to whom we plan to send the message
* @param string $subject : if you want to specifuy a predefined subject
* @param string $message: any predefined message
* @return string: link for sending message
*/
function bp_custom_get_send_private_message_link($to_id,$subject=false,$message=false) {

//if user is not logged, do not prepare the link
if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

$compose_url=bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . ‘/compose/?’;
if($to_id)
$compose_url.=(‘r=’ . bp_core_get_username( $to_id ));
if($subject)
$compose_url.=(‘&subject=’.$subject);
if($message)
$compose_url.=(“&content=”.$message);

return wp_nonce_url( $compose_url ) ;
}

//for auto populating message content
add_filter(‘bp_get_messages_content_value’,’bp_custom_message_content_value’);
function bp_custom_message_content_value($content){

if(!empty ($content))
return $content;
$content=$_REQUEST[‘content’];

return $content;
}

//for auto populating message subject

add_filter(‘bp_get_messages_subject_value’,’bp_custom_get_messages_subject_value’);

function bp_custom_get_messages_subject_value($subject){

if(!empty($subject))
return $subject;

$subject=$_REQUEST[‘subject’];

return $subject;

}

`

and then, you can use following in your code to send the user with id:2 a message as

`
<a href="”>Send Message to xyz

`

hope that helps.

Hi @James,

I’m also looking for a solution like this and haven’t found so far. I believe I’ll have to hard code it. If I come to a solution I’ll post here!

thousands of private social networks within my site

Sure. Not everything’s out of the box so one can only be limited by skillsets and server.
