KeymasterThat is a good idea for a plugin.
Is this something you are recommending be included with BuddyPress, or that someone optionally make this for you?
If you want it to be part of BuddyPress, add it as an enhancement by using the Trac:
https://trac.buddypress.org/login
You can use your same login and password as for these forums.
Create a new ticket, and under type, select “enhancement.”
If you’d like someone to take this task on for you privately, you will want to explore being added to one of the development mailing lists (which I don’t have a link to right this second but will find for you shortly.)

ParticipantI hope Andy releases some code to support some of these Easter Eggs. Maybe we should hold an Easter Egg hunt, with prizes for everyone who can find unused Database fields or unused functions in the code. I know of a 1/2 dozen which I would really like to see implemented soon.

March 10, 2009 at 5:33 pm #39700In reply to: Conditional profile fields?
Participantyou can…
do this.. mark fields as private, change your profile fields to dispaly public only, and then use the values to generate a customer profile box.
You can easily get profile values directly, and can perform any calculations you want based on these values. But I’m sure it might be a little confusing to show these, so you need to have them marked as private. These private fields will not be shown once you modify the profile member theme.
Hope that gives you some ideas,

Participantor maybe something that makes the slug for private profiles the user’s email address name prior to the @symbol….ie benny148148@gmail.com would create a benny148148 slug…and somebody who signs up on a later date with benny148148@hotmail.com would get benny1481482 as their slug, or something similar.
Not sure how difficult this would be…assuming it’s even possible at all. It would definitely be prettier than the facebookuserX…of course, we’ll probably never be happy
Thanks again for this plugin!

ParticipantHi John:
Is the permissions plugin the same thing as the privacy component Andy mentions in this thread (post #4)? https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=39#post-158
I literally just started (i.e. this morning) coding a bare-bones privacy plugin for BP that in essence controls privacy at the profile subgroup level.
A simple radio button array appears in each subgroup’s title bar with options to grant or deny viewing access. It offers the following granular subgroup level of control:
- allow/deny anyone (i.e. globally public or private)
- allow/deny only logged in users
- allow/deny only friends
It’s not much of a privacy filter, but it is a start.
If it is the case that V1.1 will have the first generation of the privacy component, then perhaps I should simply wait. I’m sure the core developers will provide a more powerful (and better) solution than I could.

bigkill
Participantthank you for advice.. but you guys must think I’m a programmer.. sorry Im just a networking guy with web design hobby. When it comes to PHP I’m a green horn but have been hacking WP for some time now with decent success. with that said here is where I stand and what I have tried.. so far no good
I have been working in bp-core-signup.php
I inserted this ***** add_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, ‘public.php’ ); *****
before line (and tried it after ) 123ish
do_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, $errors );
and also
I inserted this
add_filter( ‘wpmu_validate_user_signup’, ‘private.php’, 10, 1 );
before line (and tried it after )
return wpmu_validate_user_signup($_POST, $_POST);
am i putting it in the right areas??
the code in public.php is a follows:
<?php
require_once('recaptchalib.php');
$publickey = "…"; // you got this from the signup page
echo recaptcha_get_html($publickey);
?>the code in private.php is a follows:
`
<?php
require_once(‘recaptchalib.php’);
$privatekey = “…”;
$resp = recaptcha_check_answer ($privatekey,
$_SERVER[“REMOTE_ADDR”],
$_POST[“recaptcha_challenge_field”],
$_POST[“recaptcha_response_field”]);
if (!$resp->is_valid) {
die (“The reCAPTCHA wasn’t entered correctly. Go back and try it again.” .
“(reCAPTCHA said: ” . $resp->error . “)”);
}
?>
‘
I did indeed try adding the code directly in the fields (both with and without php tags) ** add_action( ‘signup_extra_fields’, ‘code-from-above-pasted-here’ ); ** .. that didn’t work out..
Help please? Thanks

Keymaster@hempsworth, I think the scope of this plugin for right now is really just getting the initial sign-up/login functionality down. Creating a virtual link between facebook and BuddyPress, while a cool idea, is actually quite a task considering the complexity of fbl.
After speaking with Andy last night, part of the problem comes from how Facebook locks down your profile if it’s set to be private (which I’m willing to bet a majority are these days.) If your profile is private, all you get is the facebook user_id, and that’s it.
As far as having the feeds sync up, it would take an active facebook plugin to feed info to both places from both directions. It is a great idea though. I personally wish my Facebook would update my twitter and vice versa.

ParticipantI had to make the whole site private using this plugin:
http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/sitewide-privacy-options-for-wordpress-mu
There is a free version of this plugin, but we wanted to be able to override the settings by site admin only.
You cannot access any page on the site without logging in first. This works for us since we don’t want outside access to students. On rare occasions where the teacher wants the students to blog publicly, I can override the setting for the specific blogs.

March 9, 2009 at 12:21 pm #39547In reply to: OVERRIDE BLOG PRIVACY SETTINGS FOR BUDDY PRESS
ParticipantThanks Jalien. Your post worked perfectly for the Blog Listing Page. However, there is also the sidebar widget which pulls the most recent posts from the private blogs which is not working. Because the blogs are private, I guess I need to find that widget file as well so I can make the changes.
Any suggestions? I will be searching…

KeymasterReading the above please would someone clarify what “username” BP thinks it ends up with? Using urls of like /members/facebookuser1…100/ isn’t ideal. Also what happens if the profile is private? At work at the mo so can’t test – thanks
March 9, 2009 at 12:49 am #39492In reply to: Private Profile Fields, In Db but are they in Use?
KeymasterThere’s actually a few little Easter eggs in the database that aren’t being used yet, but are planned for future use.
My suggestion would be to wait until it’s time, but if you’re comfortable making some modifications that will end up being trumped by a future update, that sounds like one possible way to accomplish that.
March 8, 2009 at 11:57 pm #39490In reply to: Tagged style pet game?
ParticipantI have built 2 components, 1 being a token system, and the 2nd being badges.
The tokens can be purchased via paypal, or earned from site admins. They can be used to by “gifts” to give to other members.
The badges are like setup like private gifts that have membership criteria, such as # of blog posts or # number of friends.
Setting up these wasn’t hard, and adding on a login action, to increase number of tokens if last login was over 4 hours ago wouldn’t be hard.
Buying and selling friends is pretty easy too, a little over done but can be built easily.
My suggestion take advantage of user meta and site meta to store values. These are also cached nicely so makes for slightly faster page loads.

ParticipantWhat a good idea Andy. Floating these feature trial balloons again? Well you don’t fool me for a minute Andy.
Not so private joke people. Never mind. Hello donnacha.
This is a good idea. I like that alot. Fans could have some twitter ‘following’ type of aspect to it. Kinda like an activity stream for the people I’m fans of. What would be the term you would apply to those people I’m fans of? Seriously. I don’t know what to call them.
March 4, 2009 at 11:40 pm #39289In reply to: public blog not created error
jalien
ParticipantJust to wrap up this post. I went into /mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php and searched for “public”. At each instance where **public=1, I changed it to -1 so that it would recognize the setting from dsader’s More Privacy Options. This is not the most elegant solution, but it works for what I want. It prevents anyone from accessing the WPMU/BuddyPress site without logging in, and makes sure that the blogs appear as public once the users are logged in. If a user wanted to a blog could still be made private using the two other privacy options with More Privacy Options, only blog users can see the blog, and only site-admin can see the blog.
Hope this helps anyone who has similar situations. Of course it could be refined even further by adding a conditional so that public=1 becomes (public=1 || public=-1), didn’t try it, but something like this should work too.
March 4, 2009 at 4:51 am #39228In reply to: public blog not created error
ParticipantI wish I could just point to one spot in the code and say “here’s where the privacy of a blog is determined” but there isn’t one. I looked through the file /mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php and found 1/2 dozen spots where functions are asked to return a list of blogs. They all go out and query the wpmu database and in all cases rely on wpmu’s settings for a blog being ‘public’ or not.
You are welcome to take a look for yourself in that file. An example of the problem would be the function BP_Blogs_Blog::get_all()
In that function are two SQL queries that return only public blogs by asking for results: WHERE wb.public = 1
public = 1 is the wpmu indication that this blog is ‘public’. dsader’s plugin simply changes that ‘1’ to -1, -2 or -3 in the table to indicate the ‘more privacy’ options and then looks for those values. It’s behavior is dependent on the values in that spot in the table also.
I don’t see any way to accomplish what you want without a complete rewrite of that entire class. It’s designed to *not* return results for private blogs. That’s exactly what it’s doing.
March 4, 2009 at 3:02 am #39222In reply to: public blog not created error
ParticipantYou’ll get a message that the user hasn’t created any public blogs when you browse to their profile and just look at their blogs. It’s correct. The don’t have any ‘public’ blogs in bp. The blog directory will never show private blogs. The blogs you have designated as ‘registered users only’ in more privacy are now private blogs. They will not show in the directory.
Right now bp’s view of privacy is black and white. It either is public or it’s not. No shades of grey there yet.
dsader’s more privacy plugin was created before bp. bp doesn’t know about this plugin. The two are completely unaware of each other. Both are behaving normally but not in concert.
March 4, 2009 at 2:08 am #39213In reply to: public blog not created error
ParticipantI guess it doesn’t matter what option you have selected in ‘more privacy’. bp will always think that a blog with anything other than the standard public setting is private. Exactly where and when are you getting a message you didn’t before?
If you use dsader’s plugin and choose any setting other than the first one “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers and in public listings around this site.” then the blog becomes ‘private’ according to bp.
All other settings.
March 2, 2009 at 8:14 pm #39068In reply to: Is BuddyPress good for this?
KeymasterYou could look into modifying an existing WordPress plugin, I think called “a member” that will help you with your pay for subscription situation.
BuddyPress certainly could have “private” blogs, you would just need to restrict user access to each others blogs by checking the available author ID’s against the current blog ID, and if they aren’t an author, bounce them back somewhere.
Sounds like BuddyPress will be a very good starting point for you, you will just need to mold it to fit your needs.

ParticipantPerS, Does this toksta chat app only display in the member themes like Facebook chat because if in the home theme, it would be abused and not private?
February 26, 2009 at 3:11 pm #38809In reply to: using friends_check_friendship
matt082606
ParticipantI guess I should start at the beginning.
A) I’ve made LOTS of core mods, I have no plans of upgrading, as I am heavily customizing this and removing as many features as I will be adding.
This particular thing comes from me adding 2 check boxes where you post a blog entry now the user has a choice of “keep private” “friends only” and “logged in members only” so when checking friends, or loggedin I set the post_status to friend, or loggedin respectively. This allows me when any theme calls “THE LOOP” as it were I can look at the post_status and decided if the user matches the credentials.
As for now what I have working is if user is logged in the loggedin only posts show with all of the standard published posts no problem. if the user is the owner then everything shows, but if the user is a friend the friend check is failing and there-by not showing the friend only posts.
The place I have injected this is in query.php file. I think I’m going to look through this quite a bit more today on my own… I’ll post the result in case others are trying to use this function from outside the bp-core.

hyrxx
Participanti would like to see member themes changeable on a per user basis so they can have their own skins as such, and also allow them to create their own, i think we need to collaborate as to what the user can change and what they cant, it would be nice to allow them selected css,
i would also like to see the modules changeable in a drag and drop kinda way and allow the user to choose which modules they do or do not want to use,
im interested in a love plugin which allows users to post a little love icon with thier wire posts but i could also see this being extended to comments, i have made a request for it before but got no replies so visit my profile for the topic,
last fm integration would be majorly cool i think, as it would rival many of the ‘apps’ out there on the larger social networks. building on this area of things you could also add twitter, etc. so i guess what im trying to say is focus on the users ‘lifestream’
when the user logs in i want them to go straight to the dashboard but the dashboard should have things like pending freind requests, groups to join, latest comments, profile stats (incuding who visited thier profile), options and such like, and an aggregation of thier freinds activity updates. when i visit my site i dont care what user a,b and c are up to im just interested in what my freinds x,y and z did recently,
so it would be very useful to have these widgets in the dashboard, that way everything is centralised for the user to do things,
another thing i thought would be useful was profile privacy options, allowing members to discriminate based on age eg, users over X cant visit profiles for members under 18 or whatever, maybe allow the user to choose who can contact them / add them etc,
also have a block ability and mark as spam,
the profile itself should have 3 modes of operation, public – everything is displayed, semi private, freinds can see full profile, non freinds can see selected modules / different modules only, and fully private – the user must be freinds to see anything other than name, age and city/ country.
i have used the profile sidebar plugin, but as of yet there are no freinds or group widgets for it, i would like to see these with a good amount of configurability options allowing for things like top freinds, other half etc
sorry for such a long post but i would like to see these features implemented as i think they would greatly enhance buddypress!!
thanks!!

ParticipantActually, yes! I created a small little plugin to force member login to see member profiles. I was going to put it on groups as well, but my members wanted groups that are public to be just that, public. There is already an option to make a group private anyways.

February 24, 2009 at 4:21 am #38654In reply to: Theme and plugin requests
ParticipantWe’ve got two themes going on in bp. The ‘blog’ theme and the member theme. bp ships with a home theme that is a widget framework. It serves as the theme that many activate as their ‘blog’ theme to run on the wpmu root blog. You’ll also see lots of standard WP themes being used and adapted to serving as the root blog theme. Lots of wonderful examples of what is possible are available.
Developing new member themes seem to be the challenging area that needs attention. Since the gurus are asking, I suggest you folks do some heavy lifting in that area.
Standard WP themes could also use a touch of bp flavor. Integration of some bp features into a WP theme might be nice. bp flavors such as:
– Profile and avatar support in blog posts, comments. When viewing an author or comment stream many times I’d like to leave a quick private note to somebody. Within the avatar/name/vcard block perhaps a link to send them a bp private message.
– Use of bp’s Groups for blog orientation. By orientation I mean that the blog theme should be constructed with multiple users in mind. As a given and not an afterthought. That the blog is a cooperative endeavor and should reflect that fact.
– Integration of the wire component as an ‘aside’ tool. General, quick comment area for members not tied to specific posts.
– A blog is also an individual’s way of expressing themselves yes. However in bp people have friends, belong to groups and have a personal activity stream. Perhaps some way of including that without launching the entire member profile for somebody would be nice.
I guess all my suggestions have to do with integrating useful bp features into standard WP themes so that the theme reflects to visitors they are just not in WP’s version of Kansas anymore. Which they aren’t. We don’t have to hit people over the head with social networking features, just include them in a natural and appropriate manner.
