BuddyPress.org

There are tons of different code edits in here. I am wondering which I should use for buddypress with multisite wordpress 3.0 and where to put it. I made my own bp-custom.php file, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is this file suppose to exist already? And if so it didn’t appear on my installation. :p At least not in the path wp-content/.

Thanks for your help.

I have the same with 2.9.2/1.4.2.1. Is it fixed with new BP version ?

Anyone fixed this yet?

Ok, so I dug up a trac ticket on this and it’s be regulated to the PLUGIN category and not actionable -at least for a long time…
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2244

Any MYSQL wizards out there willing to look into this plugin for BP?

This would be a highly desirable option from my stand point and I’m sure many others. The ability to auto-purge Private Messages and/or limit the amount would be great.

PS. This only seemed to work for me using ftp to upload my theme with the above script inserted into the functions.php file already.

NB watch out when you copy the code from this forum as it can alter the script in places

Please ignore my last post.

@Travel-Junkie It works a treat. Thanks very much. Just added the code below within the php tags in my active theme’s functions.php file (…/wp-content/themes/XXXXXX/functions.php) and that was all I had to do. Very nice indeed. Now the site is only visible to logged in users (except for blog posts which are visible to everyone)

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;

if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
}
add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

hi everyone, sorry to be a pain in the a** but I was wondering whether anyone could write a summary post stating the cleanest simplest way to achieve a private network (including where to paste the statements and in which files). Sounds like @Travel-Junkie has the winning ticket but a lot of amendments/improvements have been made. Can anyone help? TX

right have you tried disabling the blog component in the settings and then enabling again. and check the privacy settings per blog, I know sometimes I get blogs assigned private for some reason or another when messing around with upgrades, plugins, and tinkering.

I am having this exact same problem on a brand new WP/BP site.

I moved files in site to root…..

something like: (just taken from bp-core.php line 397)

is_null( $bp->displayed_user->id ) && $bp->current_component == BP_MEMBERS_SLUG && $bp->is_directory

correct trac ticket (one listed above was for activity time_since)
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2504

confirmed – i have the same issue now (7 hours ago)

messages_new_message uses ‘date_sent’ => time() instead of gmdate since the templatetag uses bp_core_time_since

actually a few other oddities where notices use time() as well. (but that actually calls bp_format_time in the templatetag)

@Pisanojm @paulhastings0 I’m getting the same thing. Wp 3.0 BP 1.2.5

It is – in the admin backend, you can choose whether or not each component is enabled.

@pisanojm, Yes, since upgrading to WP 3.0 the 5 hour time-lag issue reappeared. Since that time we’ve also upgraded BP to 1.2.5 and we still have the issue.

@pisanojm I have just updated to BP 1.2.5.2 and although I don’t get a 4 or 5 hours issue I do get a general, ‘sent sometime ago’ time on PM’s that I have only just sent. The time stamp is correct on my inbox page but when i open the message it just states, ‘sent sometime ago’.

Anyone else getting this?
