ok i figured it out, but i still think it is strange that the posted topic i create in a “Private Group” dont get displayed. any special reason for that?
Actually – I think I might have done the same thing with the wp-cache plugin. turned it on and then turned it off. That must have been what happened.
Hi, I am involved in the Return To Work Community. That is, the part of the workers compensation world that is focused on helping ill or injured workers to return to activity and work. This community includes employers, medical and rehabilitation professionals, and a host of others. The two fundamental motives for communication between people in this field are, that worklessness is bad for your health (the equivalent of smoking 200 cigs a day one expert says), and second the current compensation systems don’t work very well (people with like injuries who are outside the systems recover more quickly and have better health outcomes than those inside the systems).
In recent years my group has built a number of sites to help improve knowledge and practice in the field e.g. http://www.rtwknowledge.org
We now wish to build a site that is solely devoted to providing free communication services to individuals and groups (mainly non-profits) in the field. A site that will enable people to communicate:
individually and/or
collectively, in groups
publicly
privately
locally
nationally
globally
This site is needed so that practitioners who are working face to face in the field can get together and fix the probs with the systems, which are designed (in part) to separate and control.
As far as I can see (I’m not a programmer) what we need requires a combination blogs/forum structure in which individuals can communicate one to one, some content public, some private (particularly for groups).
Is BuddyPress the right foundation on which to create this site?
We have backing to build this thing, a designer has begun work and will devote full time attention to it for 3 months from end of August and we will appoint a programmer around the same time.
I am developing the brief now, your advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
hey guys,
as kind of a follow up to a previous post yesterday – is there a way to limit the amount of people a user can send private messages to. Having some spam issues…
Like only 10 people per message or something.
And better yet, as an admin how can I delete message threads if need be. Cannot find where i can do this on the admin pages.
Thanks
when you checked the db – was the hide_sitewide set to 1 on those records?
looking in the BP core code for groups_edit_group_settings nothing updates hide_sitewide if changing the status level from private to public.
Hi,
I’m wondering if it is possible to send a private message to everyone that is a member in the buddypress system via admin?
Is there a plugin for this or anything?
Thank you
With WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2, I have a couple of groups set to private with some updates in their activity streams. When I set the groups to be public, the activity stream disappears, however if I look inside the database the activity items still exist.
Any ideas?
Ok… I found the issue it was here:
div.messages-options-nav {
font-size: 11px;
background: #eee;
text-align: right;
margin: 0 -20px;
padding: 5px 15px;
I’ve checked the BP download package and it is ok in there, so it must have been something that I accidently did while changing the css. 1.2.5.2.
There are tons of different code edits in here. I am wondering which I should use for buddypress with multisite wordpress 3.0 and where to put it. I made my own bp-custom.php file, but it doesn’t seem to work. Is this file suppose to exist already? And if so it didn’t appear on my installation. :p At least not in the path wp-content/.
Thanks for your help.
Can anyone confirm this for me as to if it’s specific to my site?
I have the same with 2.9.2/1.4.2.1. Is it fixed with new BP version ?
Anyone else seeing the Super Tiny Print at the bottom of the InBox, behind the drop box, stating ” Mark as Read Mark as Unread Delete Selected “? I”m seeing this in all browswers. Maybe it’s something I did… Using Default Theme, BP 1.2.5.2 WP 3.0
See this here: http://mustech.net/miscpicts/shrinkwordsbuddpress.jpg
Also,
Any thoughts on making a show all Messages or a 25, 50 selectable message grouping for viewing (default is 10)? (anyone know how to do this?) ALSO, a select ALL for purging….
Ok, so I dug up a trac ticket on this and it’s be regulated to the PLUGIN category and not actionable -at least for a long time…
https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2244
Any MYSQL wizards out there willing to look into this plugin for BP?
This would be a highly desirable option from my stand point and I’m sure many others. The ability to auto-purge Private Messages and/or limit the amount would be great.
Hi,
I have been running a series of tests as I install things on BP and have noticed that when I have created a test group and then deleted it, the count remains the same. Is there a way to fix this.
For example, I have 7 actual groups, but it is showing 14 in the count:
http://i31.tinypic.com/2j4wuf9.jpg
None of my groups are private or hidden.
Thanks for any assistance you can give
My private groups forum topics aren’t showing up on the forums page even for logged in group members.
Is this expected behavior? I would have thought they should show on the forums page but only to members of the private group.
I can only see my 6 public blogs in the directory list as a regular user unless I am logged in as the Super Admin and then I can see all 308 blogs. I need to allow my regular registered users to see all the non-public blogs when they are looking at the directory. Can anyone help? I’m on WP 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2.
Thanks.
PS. This only seemed to work for me using ftp to upload my theme with the above script inserted into the functions.php file already.
NB watch out when you copy the code from this forum as it can alter the script in places
Please ignore my last post.
@Travel-Junkie It works a treat. Thanks very much. Just added the code below within the php tags in my active theme’s functions.php file (…/wp-content/themes/XXXXXX/functions.php) and that was all I had to do. Very nice indeed. Now the site is only visible to logged in users (except for blog posts which are visible to everyone)
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( ‘get_header’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
hi everyone, sorry to be a pain in the a** but I was wondering whether anyone could write a summary post stating the cleanest simplest way to achieve a private network (including where to paste the statements and in which files). Sounds like @Travel-Junkie has the winning ticket but a lot of amendments/improvements have been made. Can anyone help? TX
I do not have any privacy plugins on my site. I changed the privacy setting on a site that is not one of the 39 blogs listed in the directory to “visible to everyone” and it does not get listed in the directory. I also changed a site that was listed in the directory to be private, but it is still listed in the directory.
right have you tried disabling the blog component in the settings and then enabling again. and check the privacy settings per blog, I know sometimes I get blogs assigned private for some reason or another when messing around with upgrades, plugins, and tinkering.
