BuddyPress.org

Hmm, I was under the impression batcache would only cache public pages (non-logged in users). The above seems to indicate otherwise. Is batcache really buddypress aware (I noticed the last update of the plugin via the repo was back in April ’09).

No courseware. The site was launched March 2009 on WordPress MU/BuddyPress. Slight modifications based on snippets/plugins posted by Burt Adsit, Paul G., Boone G., JJJ and Andy.

The content is mostly pre-recorded video and audio – not a formal educational program with assignments etc. So the setup is pretty straightforward and most of the customization is just theming. Main site has different content for logged out and logged in users. “Classrooms” are private sub-domain blogs (soon-to-be sub-domain sites) with a classroom theme. The main site and classroom sites are both using custom child themes powered by the BuddyPress default theme.

I’m in the process of upgrading the site so I’ll be around here more often if you have questions.

That “section” could be a “group” component already in WordPress and joining groups is either voluntary for public groups or by invitation for private groups and each group can have a forum if the group admin so chooses. That’s basic behavior which can be changed via a plugin you can make to do so. You could check out BuddyPress Group component and other default components by logging in http://testbp.org/ with the username and password you used here.

Object caching bug most likely experienced with W3 Total Cache.
If you don’t have W3 Total Cache installed, not sure.

similar problem over here, autocomplete function finds valid users and shows them up, but in the following lines an error is displayed 3 times:

“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-themesbp-default_incajax.php:556 in mountpointwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-messages.php on line 556”

any idea?

by the way, is there a plugin which enables a better useabbility for choosing multiple user’s to send a private message to? Something like a list with checkboxes for example?

@dwenaus thank you very much for this code, it works awesome!
I’m missing one feature though, when you click “create a new thread” you can’t chose the private/hidden groups, it would be great if you could add this.

@matiaspunx, Usually it will list the username, unless it is a private message.

It would surely be possible if you took the code of the (function ‘show user avatar’) ‘buddypress’)), and placed it in the adminpar php file, it would show up.

I would highly recommended seeking a professional web builder, because it requires going to to the Buddypress Core Elements, and would take some expert styling on avatar size, due to dropdown menu.

@liesl1698 Are you talking about a Facebook Notification Functionality?

If yes, sorry, unless you are an expert at html code functions, that is not an option at the moment. The Notifications feature is for private messaging, and community functions. There may be a plugin in the near future.

Hi,
The reason it is happening perhaps hide_sitewide is not set to 1 for private activity. Most probably a conflict with some plugin as you already mention above. Can you check the database activity table to confirm that ?

Have you put the code
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
In wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php, It will make the profile accessible if put in bp-custom.php. yes,it simply change the default profile component(landing page on profile) from activity to xprofile.

Hi,
The private updates on group should not be visible to anyone other than the profile owner. It means something is wrong, you should check other plugins.
btw, yes, you can remove the activity section from profile. put the following code in your theme’s functions.php

`
global $bp;
bp_core_remove_nav_item($bp->activity->id);
`
But this will make the profile inaccessible, as activity is set as the default profile component. so you may want to put the following code in bp-custom.php
`
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”, “profile”);
`
hope that helps.

me the same problem… a private group works,,, but my hidden group doesn´t show any invite button anymore… it´s not safe to use this so far i think.

I also have the same problem. Not just with my regular site, to which I’ve done a ton of tweaking, but also on a fairly fresh install on a different domain. What happens is that I click on “send private message” and everything comes up fine, an email with name of the person I’m about to email, plus a text-entry box to the right of the name. If I try to type into that field, the first thing that happens is that my header image reverts to the original blue of the default buddypress install… and then if I click “tab”, the following html comes up in that field I just tabbed out of: “”. Odd.

This installation of WordPress only uses the BuddyPress plugin. No other. It’s a relatively clean install, again, with 1 plugin. My main site, however, also exhibits this problem.

thanks in advance for the help on this.

As noted in the ticket:
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1125#comment:3

It should be possible by creating a plugin.
If you have a little WordPress experience, check out /buddypress/bp-groups.php for all the necessary hooks and filters to start work on the plugin.

As for the usernames, I just added a note to the field that appears on registration. When people are signing up, and that mandatory username field pops up, I make sure users know that this is visible to the entire community. That way they know not to use something private. Most internet users know all about usernames, right?

Wow it looks like mine goes a bit farther than this. It won’t let me post status updates, private messages, etc. All with that generic, red error message.

What would be stopping all BP data entry? I can still leave comments on posts just fine…

Pretty easy. Just create some custom registration fields for each of the categories you want to collect. You can make them mandatory if you want, too.

Then to make things private you can use the BuddyPress Private Community plugin, and that would prevent prying eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t.

Not sure of the point in posting these comments on this support site really, think you really need to direct these to the authors site, if you’re post has been deleted inquire privately of them as to why

Here’s how buddypress.org does it, with a filter that essentially adds a search term ‘ @username‘ to the bp_has_activities filter:
`function bporg_activity_with_others_filter( $qs ) {
global $bp;

$user_id = ( bp_displayed_user_id() ) ? bp_displayed_user_id() : bp_loggedin_user_id();

/* Only filter on directory pages (no action) and the following scope on activity object. */
if ( ( ‘dashboard’ == $bp->current_action && strpos( $qs, ‘personal’ ) !== false ) || ‘just-me’ == $bp->current_action ) {
if ( strpos( $qs, ‘filter’ ) === false )
$qs .= ‘&search_terms=@’ . bp_core_get_username( $user_id ) . ‘<';

return $qs;
} else {
return $qs;
}
}
add_filter( ‘bp_ajax_querystring’, ‘bporg_activity_with_others_filter’, 11 );`

The problem with this approach is that the search bypasses the private/hidden group setting, so activity created inside of a group will show up on public profile pages if it contains @username in it. Here’s a filter that gets around it about halfway, in a hackish way:
`function bporg_ensure_hidden_activity_updates( $has_activities ) {
global $activities_template, $bp;

if ( bp_is_my_profile() || !$bp->displayed_user->id )
return $has_activities;

foreach( $activities_template->activities as $a_key => $a ) {
if ( $a->type != ‘activity_update’ && $a->type != ‘activity_comment’ )
continue;

if ( $a->component != ‘groups’ )
continue;

$group = new BP_Groups_Group( $a->item_id );

if ( $group->status != ‘public’ ) {
unset( $activities_template->activities[$a_key] );
$activities_template->total_activity_count = $activities_template->total_activity_count – 1;
$activities_template->activity_count = $activities_template->activity_count – 1;
}

$activities_template->activities = array_values( $activities_template->activities );
}

return $has_activities;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_has_activities’, ‘bporg_ensure_hidden_activity_updates’, 999 );`

This latter problem should be fixed in BP 1.3.

There’s Private files plugin (not sure if it’s for bbpress) https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-files/ or
