BuddyPress.org

Keep the sidewide posts blog private.

Then it won’t show up.

fyi, i installed this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-mail-smtp/

When i used the standard php_mail option it does not work, if i use smtp mailing it works.

As mentioned before private messaging between users is sending out notifications without any problem (without plugin). Is there any difference between the mail functions here ?

Andy,

I don’t think that’s the issue. However i am also not sure it is buddypress related, i did some more testing and found that creating a user from the backend does not send confirmation mails either. Private messaging within buddypress is working great however. So it is in my case NOT buddypress related.

lol, so it should work now for me xD

Great, Thanks!

ah, it makes sense now. my code makes all blog pages public, which obviously includes the frontpage as well. so if you’re showing the activity stream there, it would be public. I guess you want to make your complete site private? then the code below should work for you:

function sh_walled_garden()

{

global $bp;



if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )

return;



if(  ! is_user_logged_in() )

bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .'/'. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );

}

add_action( 'get_header', 'sh_walled_garden' );

Travel junkie,

is working on the members page, and on my groups page, and it wasen’t working on the activity page.

I had my activity stream as my homepage I change home page to point to a static page and now it seems to work!

I guess you posting does not apply it static pages.

Travel Junkie,

I’m using 2.9.2 with the buddypress default theme. I’m having no luck. I paste you code on my functions.php file and nothing! any suggestions?

well, i’ve got it running on a single install of wp 3.0 alpha, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

Travel junkie,

I’m using a regular WordPress install( not MU) can your posting still work for me?

yes, not better, but more simplified…

i still prefer yours, it’s more accurate, professionalm but… it doesn’t works for me

regards

it’s only a better solution for you, cause you couldn’t get the other one to work but anyways, glad you found something that does work!

Found a much more better solution:

Use this plugin: Force user login https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/force-user-login/

Use this other plugin: http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/custom-branded-login-screen-for-wpmu/ and all done!

no, i mean, in functions.php they use to put that /*introduction*/ for locating the functions.

I put the second method on functions.php, i supose i put it well….

I use unplugged theme, it says it uses the child theme files… so i paste in the functions.php of bp-default theme your code. and it doesn’t works. I dunno why.

hmm, weird. maybe it’s a child theme thing. i use it on a parent theme. shouldn’t be a problem, though.

I pasted it at the first line= not working

I pasted it with the */Private Community*/ and the code below= not working

i didn’t get these two lines at all. with the second method, there’s no need to put anything on the first line of header.php.

Still not working. I have pasted the new code in functions.php in the buddypress child theme (i use unplugged theme wich uses the bp-default files).

I pasted it at the first line= not working

I pasted it with the */Private Community*/ and the code below= not working

It doesn’t works, i dunno why.

@r-a-y

cheers! didn’t even think of the get_header action. even cleanerer…

@hachimaki and @marioe,

well, don’t know why it’s not working for you guys, works perfectly for me… maybe you did paste something wrong. try just this in functions.php:

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' );

You can delete the walled_garden action call in header.php

travel Junkie,

I also follow your posting but it still shown the activity stream…

I agree, this would cut down on database bloat.

This works for me.

function filter_groups_by_type_private( $a, $b ) {



$groups = $b->groups;



foreach( $groups as $key => $group ) {

if ( $group->status != 'private' ) {

unset( $groups[$key] );

$b->group_count = $b->group_count - 1;

}

}



$groups = array_values( $groups );

$b->groups = $groups;

return $b;

}

add_filter( 'bp_has_groups', 'filter_groups_by_type_private', 10, 2 );

Play around with the value ‘private’ to change what the function does.

It’s not perfect, because the pagination is not adjusted accordingly. You’d probably have to rebuild the core function in order to make pagination happen, since per_page gets passed right along to the database function. That’s why I say you might do well to write an enhancement ticket and submit it to trac.buddypress.org. In the meantime, though, this will set you in the right direction.

If you could make a more-improved post… i suppose i have paste it right, but…

it doesn’t work for me, i have paste it where you say and it doesn’t makes any difference, i can see my activity page (homepage) without logging in.

@travel-junkie

Looks cleaner than the mod I made for Registered Users Only 2 plugin.

You could probably change the action to “get_header”, then you wouldn’t need to add the “walled_garden” do_action in the header.php.

Thank you so much for this. The forum extra page works awesome on my setup and I am so happy. You have really outdone yourself on this one.

I do have one question. I made a post in a members only group forum, yet on the forum index page the new post does not show in the list of ‘fresh’ posts on the top. It does add to the counter in the group forum listing below though.

I would have expected the post to show up because I am logged in and a member of the private group, but to have it not visible to the public, or members who are not members of the group.

Is this a setting somewhere?

thanks
