BuddyPress.org

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.

I haven’t tried my mod site-wide on WPMU because it was only needed on the BP community-side for a site I was working on. If you’re not using WPMU, you should be okay.

Don’t activate the plugin site-wide if you want your user blogs made public. In this case, only activate the plugin on the blog where BP is activated.

Re: invites. What are you using for that? The modified plugin doesn’t block the register or activation pages, so if your invites plugin hooks into the register page, you should be fine.

I have some questions, in the other thread you say that you don’t recommend to ude ur plugin for wid-site.

I also say that the blogs of the user must be accesible.

-I have one question, plugin for inviting people to the community with all this privacy stuff on?

Sorry for my bbas english, im spaniard, ^^

Instead of modifying all the BP templates, you could try the Registered Users Only 2 plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only-2/

I’ve made a few mods to that plugin to better support BP here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp12-plugin-wishlists#post-42114

@nipponmonkey

Use what I suggested above.

Then turn off registration and manually create users. Assign these users a role of contributor or higher.

Another easy solution is to use a maintenance mode plugin permanently on. Create your own landing page and in the admin allow access to your registration page.

Ok, here I am.

For making buddypress a private commmunity, do the following:

-Create a new page in the admin interface.

-Make the page not to show in navigation with one of these: (http://www.kimwoodbridge.com/how-to-exclude-pages-from-the-wordpress-navigation-bar/ ) (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/)

-Fill the page with HTML (as you wish). If you want Widgets, you can follow this: http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

-Now, use this in the top of ALL PAGES NOT TO SHOW TO GUESTS: (https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/securing-components-from-non-logged-in-users/page/2)

if (!is_user_logged_in() ){

bp_core_redirect( $bp->root_domain.’/register’ );

}

AND REDIRECT THEM TO THE PAGE YOU CREATED BEFORE.

AND THAT’S IT!

Rich, did you try disabling all plugins and seeing if that helps?

Here’s my most desired plugin idea at the moment. It is basically a copy of something already done to a degree on facebook.

Something like a relationships indicator. Say for example I have a friend on my Buddypress install but this friend also just so happens to be my girlfriend. It would be nice if I could set that relationship up.

What I’m thinking is that the plugin could come with some default relationships E.G.: mother, father, son, daughter, cousin, aunt, uncle, wife, husband, co-worker and so on…but also the ability to add a custom relationship. E.G. if I could list a friend as a audio co-host. Friend would be the default level so that a user wouldn’t have to go through and define the relationship between themselves and every single one of their friends.

The ability to notify a user that a definition had been assigned to our relationship so that they could confirm would also be nice. E.G. I identify userX as my girlfriend and she gets an email notice of that and has to confirm the relationship at which point is reflected in both of our profiles or friends areas.

Displaying this information could be done in a number of different ways and regulating who can see these relationships E.G. everyone, friends only, specific individual, private. It could be a separate section under either friends or profile. It would be nice though if say all of my siblings were listed along side each other, all my cousins were grouped together and so on.

I say kudos to the developers of both plugins. And, to each according to online community’s requirements and site developer’s preferences as well.

@gregfielding –

I prefer BP Gallery plugin even in its RC1 version and I am using it in private membership site. As for people “shunning” a free outstanding plugin, I really doubt it. Right now, users can upload to group and individual albums and I’m waiting for the BP Gallery shortcode for user’s and group blogs, plus ability to upload albums in blog posts to appear in BP activity stream and sitewide gallery directory.

@foxly –

Get off your high horse. I find it weird that you would be dissing the BP Gallery plugin which has not been released as stable yet and which the developer has mentioned will be released as free after it’s been tested by paid members and cleaned up further by Brajesh. You are insulting both Brajesh and those who chose to support Brajesh in the development of BP Gallery just for your own self-serving promotion.

What’s weirder is that you’re getting all huffed up about the delay of BP Gallery releases when I among others who shelled out at least $30 to aid in development do understand the causes for the delays and are not vitriolic like you have been in this forum.

If you’re raising hell about BP Gallery to generate attention because you’re getting involved in BP Album and want to promote it, then you’re going about it the long way. As it is, shooting from the mouth in this forum just gives an impression of a totally unprofessional developer. Free speech and all that, your comments above leave something to be desired as you don’t even have the facts correct as Bowe mentioned above.

As for Brajesh releasing it free to the community after stable version is out – I’m all for it.

Do not presume to ascribe to all members what your negative preferences would have been.

@Brajesh – way to go man.

@Modemlooper – you’re on WP 2.9.2 and not WPMU 2.9.2 right? You have GD library enabled?

Thank you pcwriter, it’ss really helpful

I think you probably have solved my entire problem. I have to read carefully that tutorial, and if i figure out how to do all i think i can be back and solve the problem of @nipponmonkey.

It Should take me up 3-4 hours, but i promise i’ll be back. I let here some spoilers:

-If you can Widgetize a page, you can put a login form in a page.

-If you can put a loging form in a page, without adding it to navigation, you can redirect all not-logged-user to that page, soy they MUST fill the login form before seeing anything.

This post from Sarah Gooding should help get you started with widgets:

http://wpmu.org/how-to-widgetize-a-page-post-header-or-any-other-template-in-wordpress/

This is realy important, it doesn’t make any sense how it’s buddypress configured if all is public.

I have been searching also how to make that as we see in the Spanish Social Network “Tuenti” (Tuenti.com)

I also have been searching how to configure a homepage with different widgets once you’re logged (i use Unplugged Theme by Diesel Laws)

More help will be much more appreciated.
