BuddyPress.org

Hello BP gurus,
Just checking to see if any of you have any code examples for my privacy problem above… I would love to get this to work tomorrow before my launch… re: private community & redirect to different page for login (with login widget).

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only/

@r-a-y @Travel-Junkie

Ok, I’m still dorking around with this… the goal is to have my site a register only site. When people go to musicpln.org they will be redirected to the landing page (http://musicpln.org/landing1) which is a BP page with a login widget. I also would like the feeds to not be blocked.

This code goes in the function.php file:

function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;

if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() ||is_feed() || is_page(‘landing1’) )
// Where landing1 is the page slug of where I would like to redirect
return;

if( ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain .’/’. BP_REGISTER_SLUG );
// my activity page is the “homepage” and I don’t want to show any BLOG(s)
}

add_action( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );

I would like this to redirect to the landing1 reference above (which includes the login widget) The url is http://musicpln.org/landing1

I saw that you put this code in a previous reply…

Where can I put this to make it redirect to the LoginPage above? How can I tie this altogether now?

@grosbouff There is the BP Followers Plugin by @apeatling for your reference

One difference between Friends and Followers is that Friends is in core while Followers feature needs the plugin to be activated.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-followers/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-private-messages-for-followers-only/

The other difference is Followers is ala Twitter following. The “follower” doesn’t need to be approved by the one he follows. While for “Friends” to connect completely friendship request must be approved by the other party.

when you checked the db – was the hide_sitewide set to 1 on those records?

looking in the BP core code for groups_edit_group_settings nothing updates hide_sitewide if changing the status level from private to public.

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.

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