I have moved the invitations onto their own page, so it’s not part of the event creation process anymore. After an event has been created the event admin is forwarded to the invitations page. If the event is public anybody can invite their friends. If it’s private only the admin. Same if the event is attached to a group and the status of that group is either hidden or private.
Our shop is finished now and I haven’t actually noticed any related problems when I moved from 1.2.5.2 to 1.2.6. It should be fine running it on either version, so the plugin will be available by tomorrow evening.

I’ll have a look. It works on my local system. Anyways, I have added a page where users can invite their friends if the event is public and it’s not attached to a hidden or private group. It’s not been tested very well, so it’d be great if you want to give it a go
We cant get to your group forum because it’s private.
You groups forum link should be
http://gwspacesociety.org/wordpress/groups/students/forum/
If you can’t get to that link then you have a problem.
Marc R – What you want to do with groups would be pretty hard to do, given the way that public/private groups currently work in BP. There *might* be a way to do it using only hooks and filters (which would essentially switch the status back and forth from public to private depending on what is needed in the particular situation), but probably you would have to essentially reproduce the entire groups component and change the way that the core component code works, ie so that it’s like a private group except with publically-viewable content.
It’s a good idea for a future enhancement to BP, though. The current public/private/hidden distinction for groups probably shouldn’t be so reliant on hardcoding in BP core.

I’ve just added support to the plugin to restrict the number of attendees per event. I’ve uploaded the latest dev version to the testsite (http://buddyvents.jobboardr.com). Please note that there will probably still be some bugs in the restrict-attendee and group (support for hidden/private/public) functionality. I will fix anything I find tomorrow (sunday) and the plugin release will go ahead this monday!
looks like the group is private – so buddypress will redirect back to the main page (if someone is not a member)

The events calendar is now fully compatible with private/hidden groups. To see a public event for a private/hidden group the loggedin user needs to be a member of that group. If the event is private the user needs to be a group member and be invited to the event for the event to show up.
That was the easy bit. Now I’ll have to do the same thing for the loop 
I’ll have a look at restricting registration to a certain number of people over the weekend as well.
@Dwenaus Yeah, I’m in it for the social networking. I think I actually tried job-manager yesterday, but it didn’t seem to play nice with Buddypress. I’m guessing some plugins for WordPress will work with BuddyPress, but not all…or?
I just tried Jobboardr. The CV part seems great, but I can’t figure out how to create job posts (is it disabled or am I going blind? ). Also, I tried to create a group (thinking jobs might be dependent on groups), but a got an error message saying “Please fill in all required fields.” when pressing “Next Step” on the privacy settings page (public/private/hidden group).

The plugin still needs some work to properly check for hidden and private groups. I’ll have to do some fancy db querying to get there, but it’s in the works
The plugin as it is now is ready for release, but our online shop needs another 2 days, so the release date now is this monday (11. Oct.). I’ll have the group stuff properly sorted by then.
Restricting the attendees is a good idea, so I’ll put that on the roadmap. Right now it’s not possible
@Travel-Junkie, looks like a great plugin.
I have some question:
I need the possibility to attach an event with a group.
If the group is a private hidden group, the events attached to this group should be visible only to the group members.
Does the group events work also with hidden groups? and will the hidden event be visible for group members in the event calender view?
Also I need the possibility, to restrict an event to n attenders. So if for example max attenders == 3, after the 3 attender, the registration need to be closed.
I would be grateful if you could answer me my questions thanks ;-Sven
It’s a kind of mix between private and public groups
Thank you pcwriter,
I took some time to write down what I clearly want so it changed a bit. In fact, the custom profile filters would be useful for what I wanna do. But there is something harder.
I’d like to have a “group type 1” for “Labels” and a “group type 2” for “Agencies”. So the users can create the appropriate group (Type 1 for labels, Type 2 for agencies). The group thing would be pretty much like a regular group, but it would be called “Label” if Type 1 and “Agency” if Type 2.
I want both group types to be viewable by every user, but to be part of it, the group’s creator needs to accept your membership. Kind of mix between BuddyPress’s Private and Public groups.
The group creator can also manage group’s status inside the group (That wouldn’t be called group anymore, it’d be named label or agency) so he can accept his teammates as “Label Managers” when needed. Other group’s members would be the signed artists of the label, or managed artists of the agency.
That’s about it for now. That’s the basic stuff I wanna do.
So is it a possible thing with BuddyPress, or I should go and program an entire php system without WP and BP?
Thanks a lot !! Hope I can do it here!
No, cause private group does :
Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.
I want it to be visible to everyone, but the member needs to be approved to be known as “In” the group
Won’t the built-in “private” group type do?
I have helped setup a private Buddypress site, making numerous enhancements to the site.
The initial upload of user accounts means there is around 10,000 on file already. The potential is that a number of these (in the immediate short term) maybe 50-250 will upload additional user accounts, ranging from 10 to 250 users. SO the potential is that very quickly the site will have 2,000-4,000+ users active almost daily.
I am very conscience that this will require adequate bandwidth and hosting space. The last thing we need is the site having issues due to 500 people all accessing the site at the same time – which is a highly likely possibility.
How large is your largest community, and what sort of hosting do you have it setup on? What sort of backup and admin practices do you have in place??
Thanks heaps in advance…

Is the plugin compatible to wp 3.0.1 and new buddypress?
Hi, I am interested in people who are NOT login in (ie people browsing) to be able to send an email to a member from the member profile page. I was looking for a way to put an email form that does not show the members mail in the code, so it can’t be seen by bots or in the source. I considered trying to use the private messaging system in buddypress. Anyone have any ideas?
Essentially, Members pay to be on the site and set up a profile. Regular people (customers) can contact them without knowing the email of the member.
Any takers? Or redirectors, even?
Hi,
a few days ago I installed Buddypress 1.2.5.2 on a fresh WordPress 3.0.1 instance.
I usually access it with Firefox 3.6.10 with the NoScript Extension installed.
Everything is working fine except one little thing: I am unable to post activity updates neither on my personal page nor in groups. If I do so, the loading wheel next to the post update button will spin infinitely. The success function of jq(“input#aw-whats-new-submit”).click in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js will never be called.
The bizarre thing is: Everything else works. I can post comments, new forum topics, private messages and create groups.
Anyways, there are some workarounds that work for me:
1) Use a different web browser (IE and Opera work)
2) Uninstall the NoScript extension (just disabling it doesn’t do the trick)
3) The strangest one: Post the update while the page is still loading
I also checked the communication between my client and the server with Wireshark. It revealed that in case of success, the server answers with the new html page and in case of failure it answers with a “403 Permission denied on /wp-load.php”. This page will never be showed in my web browser.
So this makes me think that there may be some problem with the user authentication in Buddypress.
It also may be a problem with the cookies of my client as I have a duplicate cookie “wordpress_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx” with two different paths as value, respectively. I don’t know if thats a problem or just normal.
Now I don’t know how to go on from here and what else to check.
I would be very happy if someone could help me out in solving this problem.
Best regards,
Julian

algunas cosas:
[es tan temprano – no puedo escribir mi respuesta en castellano]
1. You should not change the core BuddyPress files (e.g. bp-activity-templatetags.php). If you do this, you will make it much harder to upgrade your site.
2. If you want to show all activity items on the home page (including the hidden items), you can do this in your theme files (without changing the BuddyPress core files):
– Have you built your own child theme? If not, check the ‘docs’ section of this site for information
– In the activity_loop file in your child theme, include the parameter (‘show_hidden’=>true) in the call to bp_has_activities()
3. No, it’s not a bug to let you reply to an activity item:
– The default logic for privacy / hidden decides whether an activity item is shown in the stream. By default, private / hidden items wouldn’t be shown. You have over-ridden this logic, by changing the template tag to show all items regardless of whether they are hidden or not
– Once an item is shown, you can reply to that item (unless it is a blog or forum item with replies disabled)
4. If you want to show hidden / private items, but disable replies to them if the member is not in the group:
– Try adding an additional check for group membership in the activity-meta section of entry.php in your default theme. I’m not sure if there is enough information in the activity item to let you do this
Hello friends. I changed in /buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php this line:
‘show_hidden’ => $show_hidden, // Show activity items that are hidden site-wide?
For this:
‘show_hidden’ => true, // Show activity items that are hidden site-wide?
Now all activity in my network is visible for all logged users in the home page( my network is private and 40 of 50 groups are privates. I changed this for give more life to the network). The problem is that all users can reply from home page although those users are not members of that group. Is a buddypress bug?
can anyone help me about this bug? Thanks
greetings from a struggling Spanish
I tried making the group completely public and private: didn’t work.
@owrede Make sure that you’re using BP 1.2.5.2
