Okay, I read your request differently.

<>I need 2 groups of Groups: Practice Groups and Offices</>

By this, do you mean that your client has employees that fall into what they term practice groups? Such as, lawyers or doctors who are “in practice”. If so, then how many practice groups and how many offices do they have?

The best way to do this would be to disallow the creation of groups by anyone except the site admin or a few, select group admins–for lack of a better term. Then the group admins would create all the necessary Practice Groups and Offices groups, making them public or private as needed.

Since it seems that you are simply dealing with nomenclature, it is overkill to create a new component with the exact same functionality but with a different slug name.

@Stefk, try Burtadsit’s solution.

Private members and groups sections should be a core feature of Buddypress imho.

Hi Guys…the profile are private but cant seem to get the groups to become private too? Any suggestions?

Just to add my 2 cents,

I’m using Eclipse as my IDE, and have had great luck with phpeclipse and subclipse. Because eclipse is java based it is cross platform, for the ide and plugins. I have used this setup on both a Ubuntu system and my Current Mac.

I have 3 projects currently “checkout out” the Buddypress trunk, the WPMU trunk, and my private svn for personal development. This allows me to look at source code for everything. I only have submission permissions on my private svn, which is probably good.

On my server I can also use the command line and checkout the files and copy them into the required directories.

Hopefully this inspires someone,

Let me try and answer this diplomatically because this seems like spam without being spam to me…

BuddyPress isn’t Facebook, and it really doesn’t have any intentions of trying to imitate it. That’s up to an audience of GPL contributors to try and mold and shape it into that, if they so choose.

BuddyPress also has a test development site already, to flex its muscles and allow people to use it as they like. testbp.org.

There are unlimited domains available, with unlimited hosting and bandwidth options. None of what you’re offering really has anything to do with BuddyPress other than using it for potential profit. Contributing a domain that specializes in spreading bad news isn’t any part of Automattic’s roadmap that I’ve seen, so don’t count on getting any hosting.

If what you’re doing is offering a business opportunity to specific individuals, you should contact them privately and see if they’re interested.

(I’m locking this for now. If any other staff feels like re-opening it for discussion, go for it. My gut tells me this isn’t what the forums here are for.)

bp and wpmu use the same user table. A bp ‘account’ is a wp ‘account’. You can use any theme you like on your blog. All blog posts and their comments show up in activity from any blog that hasn’t been set to ‘private’.

I also noticed a similar behavior here in this very form where I’m typing (forums, edit topic).

If I post a topic, then edit it, more slashes are added each time I edit. For example, if I edit the same post 3 or 4 times, I’ll end up with \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\it's instead of just it's.

I was able to duplicate this behavior, but don\’t have a fix in mind for it. This is with the latest trunk (revision 1302):

To repeat, log in as a user and send a message to another user with this subject line: Just wondering how you\'re doing

When that first message saved to the database, the field value is this: Just wondering how you\'re doing

So far, so good.

Now log out and log in as a different user (the recipient), and go to the messages area. Click the subject to open the message, and type a reply.

Now look in the database (in the \”wp_bp_messages_messages\” table) and you\’ll see that the subject field for the reply is: Re: Just wondering how you\\\'re doing

Now repeat this four or five times, and you\’ll see that each time the message gets saved extra slashes are added:

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\'re doing

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re doing

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re doing

The issue, as far as I can tell, is that when the subject is saved, the escape characters (slashes) from the previous subject line are themselves escaped.

Ok, let me put it another way. It’s not an issue on my install which is the latest trunk.

benny this has nothing to do with bp itself. It’s a theme thing that is happening here only.

It needs a stripslashes call, which I will add.

Yeah, I’ve experienced this too – if there’s a fix available i’d appreciate the know-how

is it a public or a private blog? i think private blogs does not show on the sitewide activity.
