Does no one use this plugin and can help me?

Don’t know if this is any use to anyone and no doubt there are far better ways of doing it but just in case it is of use….

I’ve created (hacked really) a plugin made up of 3 files, one of which is useless for now but at a future point I’d like to play around with it.

bp-group-catdisp.php

Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.

bp-group-catdisp-admin.php

`<?php

function group_catdisp_add_admin_menu() {

The first two hard code a group by ID and display a selected wordpress category within that group. The last file is the useless one. I’d started hacking from one of @boonebgorges plugins with the idea of creating an admin screen from which groups could be linked to blog categories.

I’ve run out of time for now to play with that further and so for now am just going to duplicate the first two files for another couple of groups which will work for my purposes.

I have been playing around with this for quite some time but cant get it to work. I just want it so that anyone can see who the members are of a private group. I got close and you can see at http://snipbids.com/groups/electronics-1682147612/members/

Something is showing but I cant get the list of group members to show

Any ideas? please any help would be greatly appreicated

@r-a-y: I made the changes in the templatetags file to get to this result

@nuprn1 thats a nice idea, I don’t know about the apply_filter though. the `$browse_sql` var is a new var that I initiate in just that function and within the scope of the if statement. Reasons being I added a whole other table to be queried in `$paged_groups` and `$total_groups` array being returned by the `get_active` function.

Its a small line of code, easily replaced on upgrade and works perfectly fine for me right now, I just wanted to be able to access, append/modify and object oriented class function from an outside function (that doesn’t make sense) lol. Something like whatever I have in my what if statement gets its own function and the arguments from the get_active function and processes my query after get active is complete (sorta), its not a private function so I can access it outside the BP_Groups_Group class, just don’t know how I can do an add_action or an apply_filter

I just re-posted this in the Private Community plugin forum. After deactivating the plug-in, the feed works without an error. I will follow up on the plugin’s thread. Let me know if you have any suggestions for making these play nicely! New forum threat at:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/forum/topic/activity-stream-rss-parsing-error-1/

@spinhead, the problem seems to be because your blog isn’t in the root domain. I think you need to change the config file a little to get it working. See my reply:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/forum/topic/redirect-hell/

Thanks for the response! My goal is to install the classifieds plugin for BuddyPress and then gave different school networks where students can put up classifieds between themselves(the site is more elaborate but that’s the nuts and bolts). Do you think this is something I can achieve with buddy press?

Private groups
Automatic add to particular group based on school selected(could be a predefined group already made)
The classifieds section be different on each group
No friends, PMs if need be but there will be the classifieds bored so there’s really no need

Thanks!

gotcha – didn’t see that before. in the field next to Create Group Capability it appears I can only leave the text “upload_files” in there (it doesn’t take “subscriber”). I deleted the text for Create private group capability and Create hidden group capability but those options still appear when I go to create a new group. I’m clearly doing something wrong….

I’ve now added greater support for allowing access to your site. In the array of allowed URIs, you can now use ‘*’ at the end of an allowed URI,

e.g. Array(‘/public-blog’, ‘/public-blog/*’) would allow access to ‘/public-blog/post-1’, ‘/public-blog/post-2’, etc…

This is useful for allowing greater access to your site while keeping it private, and for allowing access to parts of your site that certain other plugins might require.

@Gpo1, what happened?

Could you give your feedback in the plugin’s forum:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/forum/

The general response has been good so far, it seems to be working fine for everyone else, so I’d be interested to know what’s going wrong for you.

Did you get an error message?

Hi, I’m the person who started this thread about 5 months ago!

I’ve been messing around with my own solution for a while now, and I’ve created my first couple of WP/BP plugins recently.

In fact, I’ve just released my BuddyPress Private Community Plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-private-community/

Somebody has already given it 5 stars!

It’s basically a single static class that has a few customizable settings, you can block RSS feeds, stop widgets from displaying when the user is logged out, and set an array of pages that are public. Of course you can set the redirect page when I logged out user tries to access a private page too. It defaults to the home page, but I suggest you change that in the config.

There is an example of how to create your own config file for the plugin, one that is saved in a place that won’t be overwritten when you update the plugin and that doesn’t require database access – so it should be a lightweight and quick plugin.

It’s been working great for me, let me know what you think and if you find any bugs!

I just had another check, from another profile and

user with ‘normal’ rights

and the same problem happens,

message is sent to 2 people, One random, and one who I have deleted as admin for spamming via wordpress admin panel

sorry, it is WPMU 2.9.1 and Buddypress 1.2.3 (I think)
there are many plugins installed and some small modifications, but not related to PM

what I think may have triggered it, is i had to delete some spammers, and deleting via buddypress did not seem to work, so I went to wp-admin and deleted one or two spammers there,

but it asked me to transfer their posts to my (admin) profile,
there were no posts, but that dialog box came up, so I accepted it.
and it had completed the delete process successfully,

Hi Roger (and everyone else!), i think i’m going somewhere now, but will need some extra input. hopefully the thread will be an additional useful example!

ok, this is where i am at: default theme with the ajax controllers at the top of the activity stream. in the activity folder of the child theme i have an index.php and activity-loop.php and and entry.php.

basically i’ve got a ‘private’ area with content accessible only to staff. for normal post/pages i have is an extra check based on a custom field for posts and the category for pages like the following and then based on the group membership i either show a message or the actual content:

http://pastebin.com/E4cnkwZS (top)

now, because the group is private, the BP stuff is not showing in the activity stream already, which is good, but the posts/pages bypass my checks and come up in the list of activities showing the actual content which should be private instead.

so, here is what i came up with so far. using the index.php i check the group membership and then load two different activity-loops:
http://pastebin.com/E4cnkwZS (bottom)

how would you exclude stuff? in the bp_has_activity function there is an ‘include’ option which allows to filter content, but not an ‘exclude’ one. it might be trivial to go around it, but not sure how. furthermore if you use the dropdown filter i have the impression that the arguments are passed dynamically resetting whatever is passed in the original query (like in your example and some i’ve tried using the same model).

i would very much appreciate any further suggestion! thanks
