Topic: Make Subdomain Private?
I have buddypress on a subdomain. I want only registered members to access the site, non-registered visitors should get a registration page. Is there a plugin for this?
Hi
A member created an account (and a profile) on the copy of BuddyPress I installed a few months ago. Today I get a frantic email telling me that their profile was showing up on Google and I was asked to remove it.
When I logged in as admin, I was able to visit their profile and navigate to “Profile/Public”. I assume that the information this member provided in their profile was supposed to be public and that they would have known when they added the information that it was public. Yes?.
I’ve typed their name/email into Google and I can see a LOT of other profiles and places where they created an account, added profiles and posted various things so I’m guessing that most profiles are supposed to be “public” and that this is normal?.
I’d also like to know if there is a built-in (or plugin) method of making profiles private if possible as well as how to deal with this particular member.
Finally, which file would I need to edit in order to change “Profile” to “Public Profile” on the sign-up page?.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have no idea what to do now.
UPDATE: After the initial 50 or so sign-ups that occurred when the BuddyPress script went up, everything came to a screeching halt and I have noticed that accounts are gradually disappearing. Today, I looked at my public chat logs and discovered why. Members are deleting their accounts because they are concerned about their privacy and especially their profile details showing up in Google.
Thank you, Birdy
Thanks for testing and creating the ticket, BeLogical. ^.^
No, not running More Privacy Options or any other plugins that manage privacy
Topic: Username in Profile URL
Hi, is it possible to use something other than username is the user’s profile URL? We’d like to keep usernames relatively private and would not like them as part of any URL. In fact, we’d like to basically hide all mention of the usernames people use to log in with. Thanks!
Hi there.
We recently upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1.1, running WPMU 2.8.4a. We upgraded by the book – deactivated buddypress plugin, upgraded, reactivated, etc. Everything is fine, except that any blog posts made to a private blog now show up on the sitewide activity feed. The blogs are still listed as private in the database tables and they aren’t showing on users’ profiles or in the sitewide directory of blogs. We’ve tried deactivating and reactivating the BP plugin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
This is a followup to a post that I don’t think was resolved: http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/private-message-issue-mulitple-receipents-email-notification-empty-content#post-7103
Essentially: the link to messages in email notifications do not go to the message thread.
The reason the links are not working are possibly because of an error in the bp code.
In the function messages_notification_new_message() (in bp-messages-notifications.php),
line 15 says:
$message_link = site_url() . ‘/’ . BP_MEMBERS_SLUG . ‘/’ . $ud->user_login . ‘/messages/view/’ . $message->id;
This is incorrect. Instead of having $message->id at the end, it should be putting in the *THREAD_ID*.
If I change this to the thread-id, then the link successfully goes to the message thread. Otherwise it doesn’t work.
Can someone experienced in the buddypress code please confirm this? Or am I doing something wrong/mis-understanding something?
Thanks!
Topic: Customized search feature
I am planning to create a network of student members. Can the members here (Andy?) tell me if what I am planning is possible with BP 1.1?
All the members joining the network will both teach others and learn from others. So each member would be stating stuff like (in their profile details):
I Can teach (profile question): Calculus (Beginner), Algebra (Intermediate), Physics (K-12) (subjects chosen from a drop-down or typed into a text box)
Want to Learn: Spanish (Intermediate), French (Advanced)
One of the main features of the network would be to find other people who could teach us any of the subjects we want to learn and at the same time want to learn one of the subjects that we can teach (let’s define this as ‘compatible’ students). This is where my customized search feature comes in. I would like to create a function (like a button a user can use, not a *manual* search based on the profile details) wherein the student would be able to see a list of other compatible students in the network. Is it possible to create such a customized search (or other functions like this) using BP 1.1?
One example of other functions is: Once a student finds another compatible student, they can get a private discussion thread and finally when the lessons are over, each student should be able to rate the other student for the particular subject he learnt from the other.
I am a new member trying to see if BP is for me. Please do let me know if such things are possible. Thanks in advance.
Is there any way to enable captcha or something similar on BP private messaging?
That’s where I’m seeing more and more abuse lately. Somehow sploggers register with my site, then PM all the users with kiddie porn links. It’s really bad.
I don’t quite have a handle on how they’re doing this. There must be some sort of evil script that goes through the member directory and messages member after member. Have other people seen this, and, if so, any suggestions on how to combat it?
Topic: Profiles: Send Blink
What about the ability to send blinks to other users profiles? (I’ve seen this in multiple communities).
You visit a profile and click a link saying “Send Blink”. You then get to choose between multiple messages like:
– Blink to Profile
– Smile to Profile
– Wink to Profile
– Hug Profile
– Give flowers to Profile ect.
And to chosse if this Blink should be “Publicly” or “Privately”. If Publicly it would be added to the Activity Streams.
