    I’m about to post this in the trac, but since there are personal feeds, friend feeds and sitewide activity feeds, then why not have group activity feeds?

    Just looked at the code in bp-activity.php to see how current activity feeds are done and it looks quite easy to extend activity feeds for public groups.

    Private and hidden groups are another matter though and would require some sort of authentication when accessed from an external source… needs some investigation…

    EDIT: Trac ticket made – http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1341

    It isn’t possible without some kind of plugin, but it is possible with one.

    You would want to take a look at the buddypress/bp-forums/ directory to see how forums are created within BuddyPress to begin with, and modify that existing code in your own plugin to modify that behavior and turn it into what you’re trying to accomplish.

    The code is in there to do what you want, you just need to make it do it. ;)

    I’m wanting to create a few special forums on our site that might go beyond the basics offered with buddypress.

    I want to create a group that only members can post to, but anyone can view. this is between public and private. Is this possible?

    Also, I want to create a group that will act more like a announcement list, where many people can join but only an admin can post to it.

    any idea if that is possible, and if not, how I should go about doing it.

    Thanks r-a-y, I did look into that – I have everything enabled except Blog Tracking and bbPress Forums. My only other options (all of which are enabled) are as follows:

    Activity Streams

    Groups

    Private Messaging

    Comment Wire

    Extended Profiles

    Status Updates

    OK, I saw this in bp-activity.php:

    /* Drop the old sitewide and user activity tables */

    $wpdb->query( “DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_activity_user_activity” );

    $wpdb->query( “DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$wpdb->base_prefix}bp_activity_sitewide” );

    And so I look in the db and saw there is no bp_activity_user_activity table, and there is no bp_activity_sitewide table. This means it’s a good thing since these got dropped.

    Though I saw this

    $sql[] = “CREATE TABLE {$bp->activity->table_name}

    but to my lack of knowledge of programming, I see this and think it’s bp_activity_something (but no idea)…

    Looked everywhere and I only saw this in db bp_activity_user_activity_cached. This table doesn’t look like it was created by

    $sql[] = “CREATE TABLE {$bp->activity->table_name}, but I could be wrong because I looked at the part under $sql[] = “CREATE TABLE {$bp->activity ->table_name} and saw similar rows get created and these rows are in my bp_activity_user_activity_cached table.

    For example, in bp-activity.php,

    function bp_activity_install() {

    global $wpdb, $bp;

    if ( !empty($wpdb->charset) )

    $charset_collate = “DEFAULT CHARACTER SET $wpdb->charset”;

    $sql[] = “CREATE TABLE {$bp->activity->table_name} (

    id bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,

    user_id bigint(20) NOT NULL,

    component_name varchar(75) NOT NULL,

    component_action varchar(75) NOT NULL,

    content longtext NOT NULL,

    primary_link varchar(150) NOT NULL,

    item_id varchar(75) NOT NULL,

    secondary_item_id varchar(75) NOT NULL,

    date_recorded datetime NOT NULL,

    hide_sitewide bool DEFAULT 0,

    KEY date_recorded (date_recorded),

    KEY user_id (user_id),

    KEY item_id (item_id),

    KEY component_name (component_name)

    ) {$charset_collate};”;

    require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’ );

    dbDelta($sql);

    In my current db, table bp_activity_user_activity_cached has everything except hide_sitewide row. In my current db, table bp_activity_user_activity_cached has extra rows that function_bp_activity_install doesn’t have such as date_cached and is_private rows.

    Any suggestion? What rows should I add or remove? Am I looking at the right stuff?

    Looked like at the end of the function bp_activity_install(), it has require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php’ );

    dbDelta($sql);

    Maybe the upgrade-functions.php had not gone smoothly?

    For now, I patched the bp-messages-template.php file by removing pagination (by the way, there is no need for pagination, even with 100 messages, the page is fast).

    Some form of media manager/gallery is a future BuddyPress feature. Until that is made available, you will have to look to 3rd-party solutions.

    Just be aware of the issue of licensing when using Kaltura. Although Kaltura.org is self-described as open source video, and in fact its component code is licensed under GPL3, when you use the hosted solution–that is you are not storing your users’ media on your own server but instead on a Kaltura Media Network server–then all of your users’ content is automatically made available under the Creative Commons 3.0 license. See this Kaltura forum thread:

    What does this mean? Well, it means you better clearly state to all your members that anything they upload via your site will automatically get licensed under CC 3.0. This means it will be freely available to anyone else to see and to use as they see fit within the CC licensing specifications.

    That may not seem like a big deal to you if you are a fan of CC, but you should not assume that all your members will think the same way or necessarily want their content to be made available for free use.

    Thankfully, there is a solution. If your using the self-hosted version of Kaltura.org–Kaltura Community Edition (CE)–then you can set the licensing rights for all member-submitted content. This means you can effectively control the privacy of your members’ content if that is important to you, your site, and your members.

    If you choose to use Kaltura CE for your site, then you will need to make sure that you have sufficient storage and bandwidth to meet the needs of your site. Also, I have no idea of what kind of tech support Kaltura offers users of the CE version.

    Finally, Kaltura is a for-profit company who is freely offering an open source media hosting solution via their kaltura.org site. They do offer premium services as well. So, if you have the budget, you can purchase a premium account to make all your users’ content private. At least that is what was indicated in the thread response in the first link above. You can visit http://corp.kaltura.com/solutions/video_solution for more information.

    Note: look at the footer on the above Kaltura link to see how they handle the CC issue. I would argue that you would also want to make the CC issue very clear in any TOS and actually right under any media “Upload” link.

    I have an issue with some members accounts: the messages pagination is out of order.

    16 unread messages, about 50 messages total but:

    Page 1:2 messages displayed

    Page 2:mailbox is empty!

    Page 3:1 message

    etc.

    Any idea? Thanks for your help. The issue occurs on my wife’s account, so please have pity! :-)

    I just came to your profile to request friending, and you’d sent one to me already! ;-) For some reason Private Messaging seems to be broken here at the moment.

    One other thing I just noticed — I don’t see a Links filter button on my Sitewide Activity widget, but there’s one on your site… Is there a config page I missed somewhere or maybe a small bug?

    I wonder if someone is working on something like this:

    Agenda plugin:

    I’m thinking about an agenda for each user with a month/week/day view (showing available empty hours) with the ability to share it completely with a group (maybe a workgroup) and private (for user only) entries too.

    I know that there’s a BP-Events plugin around, but is just that an “Events” manager, but it doesn’t fit my needs.

    Maybe something like this: http://www.softcomplex.com/products/php_event_calendar/demo.php (checkout the vertical view, is perfect for this purpose) but integrated like BP-Events into BP.

    File sharing plugin:

    Gives the user the posibility to upload files to his own file repository and sharing files with groups and/or users. Maybe something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/download-monitor/ but in the BP community front-end, so no need for the user to have a blog to use this.

    I would like to do both by myself :) but I dont have at this moment the required knowlege of the BP functions to do it :‘(

    If there is someone with knowlege (and time :)) enough to help me integrate in BP front-end these plugins, please let me know ;)

    I’ve got some info which I sent to the developers about this media headache project !

    Here’s the reply..

    ” You can use BuddyPress component with Kaltura CE with some minor changes whose documentation we will publish soon on our blog – wpveda.com

    About adding video/images/audio related actions to a user activity stream, that feature is on the card but it will take 4-5 months. You can get it developed by paying us privately or fund development of this open-source addon publicly. We will soon publish list of donors with their sites on the project page.

    Do let me know if there is anything I can help you with. “

    What’s is the best method of funding this project or shall we all contact the developer?

    Oh, I got it…the blogs have been set to private on default…fixed that now :)

    hey my friends, I am not able to send a Private-Mail via this website buddypress.org , even not to my BP-friends….. could you please fix this ?

    @JJJ

    I am using the latest FireFox-browser, but I am quite sure this is not related to the browser being used. The PM-system has worked fine previously, something must have happened in the meantime……

    Thanx

    Private messages?

    I’m running BP 1.1.2 and WPMU 2.8.4. When creating a new group, after the step where I select public or private, I consistently get the following errors (as do my beta testers):

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/spinistr/public_html/bb-config.php:80) in /home/spinistr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php on line 507

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/spinistr/public_html/bb-config.php:80) in /home/spinistr/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-groups.php on line 508

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/spinistr/public_html/bb-config.php:80) in /home/spinistr/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865

    If I refresh the page, the errors go away and everything is fine; the group appears as created.

    In bp-groups.php, the lines referenced are setcookie commands. In pluggable.php, the line referenced is: header(“Location: $location”);

    Help! I’ve searched and see that others have had this problem, but I’ve yet to find the answer. Thanks so much.

    #55451

    At the moment the easiest way to do this is to mark the blog as private. The adverse effect to this is that blog doesn’t show up in search engine results or anywhere else in your BuddyPress installation either.

    Check the trac and see if there’s an enhancement ticket for this yet. If not, let us know this is something you’re interested in and maybe it will make it into a future version.

    Please remember that based on the BuddyPress roadmap, some form of a privacy component will be integrated into Core for v1.2.

    But, before that comes out, there will be a public beta of my Privacy Component. I have talked with Andy and he said to proceed with the testing. So, right now, the alpha version of my component is in a very limited-release private alpha. I am almost ready to release the alpha 2 version which will also be a private release.

    Once the beta version is ready (which I’m now estimating to be around December 1st), it will be uploaded to the WP Plugin Repository and available for everyone to test. Please remember that it will still be a pre-release version which means that it should not be used in a production environment.

    Of course, as I’ve said before, even with all of this testing, there is still no guarantee that my Privacy Component will become the de facto core privacy component. Only time, and your feedback, will tell.

    I just found this post, because I finally hit the wall with my recent implementation. Users are going to want their stuff to be private. I can’t wait to see what comes of this AC. I would be happy to test Alpha releases.

    I also agree that the Privacy menu should be located in BP Settings area.

    Hello all,

    So I figured out what was breaking my autocomplete.

    First off, I am using wpmu 2.84a and buddypress 1.1.1.

    I have two blogs set up on mu using virtual sub-directories instead of subdomains.

    The first blog is on the root using the wordpress default theme and acts as an outside blog (blog id=1) and the buddypress theme is on another blog acting as a private area (blog id=2). By doing this, I can have one wp-admin with a public and private area.

    However, by changing the blog id in the bp-core file from 1 to 2 on line 20 for buddypress to work properly, it breaks the autocomplete; but everything else works fine.

    i believe this is a bug …

    The privacy component is so good, that it’s set to “private” in the core and you can’t even find it! ;)

    Jeff’s component is still under some stage of review and AFAIK hasn’t been released for private testing yet. There’s no promise that Jeff’s code will get integrated into the BP Core, that decision is Andy Peatling’s.

    I’d assume the plan is to get a plugin out that is compatible with BP 1.1 as BP 1.2 isn’t likely to be released until January.
