BuddyPress.org

+1, really need this! BP Contents seem to cover everything suggested in this thread, if not more.

I have a feature suggestion, though I’m unsure which platform (WordPress vs BuddyPress) it actually targets. I would like the ability to make certain categories and tags private, i.e. for moderators and above only. I found a plugin called “private tags”

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/private-tags/

This plugin however hides content, while all I want to do is to hide the option of adding certain tags. For instance if your website pulls official site news from various sub-blogs by checking for the ‘official’ tag, ordinary users should not be allowed to apply this tag.

@nuprn1, what did you modify? I noticed that posts in bbpress don’t show up on the activity notifications, and the public/private/hidden stuff doesn’t seem to work either…

I can’t remember but i had to rewrite a bunch of it – and also hack the bbPress core to play nice with the GMT buddypress timestamps. Then throw in that bpGroups uses xmlrpc – so personally i’m moving to open up bbpress within buddypress instead of running an external bbpress install (with all the hidden/private forums)

Wow! really appreciate it

This is what I came up with:

place the function below into functions.php in your theme folder.

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( 'walled_garden', 'sh_walled_garden' );

and this right on top of header.php (before the <!DOCTYPE… parts):

<?php do_action( 'walled_garden' ) ?>

The above makes all BP pages private, except the registration and activation pages. It also leaves all blog pages public. It’s a bit easier than editing all theme pages.

I use the bpGroups plugins (“forums” subdomain of the BP site) but the plug-in required some updating to get everything working smooth (activity notifications, public/private/hidden/ready only stuff)

@nuprn1, what did you modify? I noticed that posts in bbpress don’t show up on the activity notifications, and the public/private/hidden stuff doesn’t seem to work either…

Also, the plugin is looking for an Authorized Buddypress Username, or “the user that BuddyPress uses to access bbPress.” Is there actually still a user, or was that part of the older BP/bbpress integration method?

I had to FedEx her. You may have to sign for the delivery. She shouldn’t take too long to inflate

Which version of WordPress and BuddyPress are you running?

To post a new topic to a thread using the Group Forums Directory, you must be a member of that group and the group must be public. So, you will not have the option of selecting groups that are private or those of which you are not a member.

Members? site members or group members? if group member then surely you just set the group to private which still shows it just not content.

When you create a group, you have the option of making it Public, Private or Hidden. Public groups are free for anyone to join, and their content is viewable by anyone. Private groups are listed in sitewide directories, so that others can see the group names and descriptions when searching and browsing for groups, but the content of the group can only be seen by group members. Group membership for private groups is controlled, so that a member can only join if they’ve requested membership or been invited by a current member. Hidden groups are like private groups, except that they do not appear in sitewide group listings and search.

The user added to the private group does not see the group on his “my groups” page

Hi! I’ve sent ‘Bahasa Indonesia’ translation via private message to @foxly.

Language: Indonesia (id_ID)

I just want to say thank you for this great bp-album.

Hope my community would love this feature (plugin) too

after my site officially launched someday.

note:

* Main BP ‘Bahasa Indonesia’ translator is @sofyand

* My alumni bp site (trial) is http://iluni-ftui.org/riwayat/

Add this somewhere within your form tag:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="INSERT YOUR URL YOU WANT TO REDIRECT TO" />

Btw, a thousand maidens is too much, I’d be happy with one nice lass at my doorstep

@r-a-y Thank you and may a thousand maidens be blessed upon your doorstep by morning!

What would be the code to place to redirect the login form action specified by

<form name="login-form" id="login-form" class="standard-form" action="<?php echo site_url( 'wp-login.php', 'login' ) ?>" method="post">

back to $bp->root_domain?

Hi Mike,

Your code is correct, but since your page isn’t the BP_REGISTER_SLUG or BP_ACTIVATION_SLUG, it will lead you to redirect hell!

Add your page (and any other page you need to whitelist from blocking) to the following conditional:

if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || THEWELCOMEPAGE ) //buddypress

return;

Change THEWELCOMEPAGE to something that checks if you’re on welcome.php.

If welcome.php is a WordPress page with the slug of “welcome”, you would use something like:

is_page('welcome')

So your conditional would look like:

if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_page('welcome') ) //buddypress

return;

Hope that helps!

@r-a-y I am embarrassed to be asking such a simple question:

re registered-users line ~48 -> bp_core_redirect(bp_get_signup_page());

What would be the correct way to do the following:

redirect not_logged_in users to a welcome page.. say domain.com/welcome.php which has a login widget for registered users as well as a Create Account button/link taking you to domain.com/register.php ?

I tried:

`$page = $bp->root_domain . ‘/welcome.php’;

bp_core_redirect($page);`

but, of course, that led me to redirect Hell.

Thanks for clarifying.

sounds like a bug.

Please submit a ticket in TRAC.

@Boone yes 0.3.1 fixed my issue now I can see all the users, but I still have one issue with Private Groups, if I add a user to a Private Group the same user won’t see it. Any idea?

I had the exact same problem, forums that were ‘private’ before the update were unaccessible when I click “forums” or “group/forums”.

Am now restoring a backup, not going to update yet…

@justin_k – I understand your motives, but it is more an ethical/privacy issue. You should perhaps at least let people know that you are harvesting server details. There may be private unlaunched sites that do not want the details of their setup exposed without their knowledge.

The best way to integrate this into BP is to put this code in a custom plugin or in bp-custom.php file. That way you don’t have to edit the theme at all. This code would also be great if it was added to the actual plugin :

function bp_add_fb_login_button() {

if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {

if ( function_exists( 'jfb_output_facebook_btn' ) ) {

jfb_output_facebook_btn();

jfb_output_facebook_init();

jfb_output_facebook_callback();

}

}

}

add_action( 'bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'bp_add_fb_login_button' );

That way anyone activating this plugin when using BuddyPress won’t have to do anything else, the login button will just appear on the login sidebar form.

The blogs are meant to be public, but no the comunity. So i’ll try with my path, and see what can i do with invitations

I’m very intertested in doing this, and I’ve been working on this for the new BP-Tricks site.. I’ll send you a private message with some more details, because I think we are both wanting to do the same; set up a place where plugin suggestions can be made and plugin ideas can get adopted by developers.
