Thx, I got it, but my users won’t, since they see a PM rather as an email and not as another kind of a discussion group (core age 15, so they have plenty of time to enter all the names
). It’s also in my opinion not intuitive.If there is no simple way to include a “no bcc” option – is there a way to limit the number of recipients to one user?
Topic: Creating a custom component
Okay, I know I’ve made posts about this before, but I’ve always left out information because I thought if I got it rolling, I could take it over myself.
I’ve been working with bp-events, bp-skeleton component just trying to get a new component working, and nothing is working. There are always errors. (probably because I don’t know what I’m doing)
So I’m not afraid to admit that I have no idea what I’m doing, and I need HELP.
Here’s what I would like:
I would like a component, that allows an administrator to create a “Group” called a “Featured Group”. It is exactly that, a group, which is featured.
It will allow users to JOIN but NOT CREATE. It will still show up in there profiles in a “Featured Groups” tab in the user bar, but in the options bar there will be no “Create a Featured Group” button.
The Featured Groups would be on a separate directory from the “Groups Directory”. And the features of the Featured Group are as follows:
- Choose Avatar
- Wire
- News
- Forum
- Users can Join/Request Membership
I realize that these are very basic things just as the Groups are, but I just wanted a separate thing to create them.
UNLESS:
There is a way that I can just create a normal group, and only the admin can select if it is a Featured Group (much like how you would select Public Group, Private Group, and Hidden Group).
So if there is a plugin, or a way to create, so that an Administrator can select that a group can be featured, allowing it to be posted on another directory. Then that would be fantastic, and a lot simpler.
I hope I’m clear with what I’m saying.
Just ask and I’ll clarify anything.
Love some of the ideas behind BuddyPress.
But I’m worried that it might grant TOO much flexibility to my users.
Basically, on my WPMU install, I want pretty much everything to happen off the MAIN blog. I don’t WANT them to be able to create their own forums, I want one common forum off the main blog.
I *do* want them to be able to do private messaging, “friend” each other and so on. And if somebody wants to create a group? Awesome. But create it off the main blog.
Is BuddyPress too much for my install? Is bbpress on its own, too little?
Hi!
My users are complaining about private messaging spam, which is actually – as far as I can see – a feature.
When I send a message to let’s say 10 friends (who are not necesserily each others friends) and one of them answers, all the others get his answer. Even though they are not each others friends.
That happens, because a discussion is automatically opened between all recipients. Some users had suddenly 40 messages or more.
Is there a way to disable these auto discussions and to send the reply as default only to the sender? “Answer to sender” should be the default, and “answer all” an optiona feature. Like in all email clients.
another feature that looks like a bug. Why shouldn’t private group have the recent activities section? they should have.
I have around 15,000 members registered in my WPMU installation and I tried enabling Private Messaging in BuddyPress for a few days.
Within around 2 weeks, 20,000+ messages were sent through Private Messaging – 99% of them being spam. Most of my members received messages through emails and got furious.
I disabled Private Messaging around a month ago and have been visiting this forum frequently to see if there has been any solution.
When the messaging was still enabled a month ago, I kept checking the messaging table in database and kept marking the users as spam who would send hundreds of messages in one go. I had successfully enabled recaptcha on the wordpress signup, but it was not useful as spammers were manually registering and sending lots of messages via scripts.
I have got few questions:
– Is there a way to at least disable the email notification globally for everyone, with an option of manually enabling for anyone who needs it?
– Can someone help in adding recaptha on the compose message page? I am willing to pay for these services.
– Is there is any other way someone can suggest to limit the spam via private messaging?
Thanks in advance!

Funny you say that, because I’ve had two totally unrelated client sites that said the exact opposite. They were confused about the private message setup, and when they saw the persons name prepoulated as a link, they clicked that link to that person every time, went to their profile again, assumed private messages didn’t work, and complained. Strange how the world works eh?
Because Twitter has owned the @reply idea, if ours doesn’t work similar, it probably won’t work at all. Same with hashtags. All a hashtag is, is a tag to search through streams by. It’s like tagging activity, which can be done via a plugin now that there’s activity meta.
Right now the only place and the only time the @name works, is when you’re updating your status to directly mention specific users. That kind of makes it a technology that won’t get used too often. There is also only 1 place to automatically populate that users @name in the update box, and that’s when you’re viewing their profile already. Twitter makes the activity stream the central source for all things activity, including @ing people back and forth. Maybe if user names in the activity_content were all given a specific class we could use some jQuery to turn that class into a link that auto-populates the update box instead of making it a link to their profile? That would help fully endorse the @name idea in multiple places, rather than just 1.
