    What a good idea Andy. Floating these feature trial balloons again? Well you don’t fool me for a minute Andy. :)

    Not so private joke people. Never mind. Hello donnacha.

    This is a good idea. I like that alot. Fans could have some twitter ‘following’ type of aspect to it. Kinda like an activity stream for the people I’m fans of. What would be the term you would apply to those people I’m fans of? Seriously. I don’t know what to call them.

    I want a closed network with bp where everything is blocked from public view. I have the privacy plugin from wpmudev premium where it automatically sets the privacy settings for all the blogs. In my site only logged in users can view the blogs. When this is activated, the BuddyPress blog listing page and the search functions do not show any blogs. As soon as I make the blogs public, they show up on the search pages as well as the Recent Posts widget for BP.

    My question is this: Can I hack the code that checks the blog privacy setting and turn it off so that even if the blog is private, it will still show up in the blog listing page as well as in the search functions.

    Just to wrap up this post. I went into /mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php and searched for “public”. At each instance where **public=1, I changed it to -1 so that it would recognize the setting from dsader’s More Privacy Options. This is not the most elegant solution, but it works for what I want. It prevents anyone from accessing the WPMU/BuddyPress site without logging in, and makes sure that the blogs appear as public once the users are logged in. If a user wanted to a blog could still be made private using the two other privacy options with More Privacy Options, only blog users can see the blog, and only site-admin can see the blog.

    Hope this helps anyone who has similar situations. Of course it could be refined even further by adding a conditional so that public=1 becomes (public=1 || public=-1), didn’t try it, but something like this should work too.

    I wish I could just point to one spot in the code and say “here’s where the privacy of a blog is determined” but there isn’t one. I looked through the file /mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-classes.php and found 1/2 dozen spots where functions are asked to return a list of blogs. They all go out and query the wpmu database and in all cases rely on wpmu’s settings for a blog being ‘public’ or not.

    You are welcome to take a look for yourself in that file. An example of the problem would be the function BP_Blogs_Blog::get_all()

    In that function are two SQL queries that return only public blogs by asking for results: WHERE wb.public = 1

    public = 1 is the wpmu indication that this blog is ‘public’. dsader’s plugin simply changes that ‘1’ to -1, -2 or -3 in the table to indicate the ‘more privacy’ options and then looks for those values. It’s behavior is dependent on the values in that spot in the table also.

    I don’t see any way to accomplish what you want without a complete rewrite of that entire class. It’s designed to *not* return results for private blogs. That’s exactly what it’s doing.

    You’ll get a message that the user hasn’t created any public blogs when you browse to their profile and just look at their blogs. It’s correct. The don’t have any ‘public’ blogs in bp. The blog directory will never show private blogs. The blogs you have designated as ‘registered users only’ in more privacy are now private blogs. They will not show in the directory.

    Right now bp’s view of privacy is black and white. It either is public or it’s not. No shades of grey there yet.

    dsader’s more privacy plugin was created before bp. bp doesn’t know about this plugin. The two are completely unaware of each other. Both are behaving normally but not in concert.

    I guess it doesn’t matter what option you have selected in ‘more privacy’. bp will always think that a blog with anything other than the standard public setting is private. Exactly where and when are you getting a message you didn’t before?

    If you use dsader’s plugin and choose any setting other than the first one “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers and in public listings around this site.” then the blog becomes ‘private’ according to bp.

    All other settings.

    You could look into modifying an existing WordPress plugin, I think called “a member” that will help you with your pay for subscription situation.

    BuddyPress certainly could have “private” blogs, you would just need to restrict user access to each others blogs by checking the available author ID’s against the current blog ID, and if they aren’t an author, bounce them back somewhere.

    Sounds like BuddyPress will be a very good starting point for you, you will just need to mold it to fit your needs.

    Hello all! I’m so excited. I’ve known about BuddyPress for a while now, but have never had the opportunity to use it for anything. I’ve used MU – but only a little bit – I’m mostly just a standard WP fiend.

    However, I have a potential client who has contacted me with a concept that I think BuddyPress *might* be a perfect fit for. But since I’ve never actually had the chance to use it, I’m not sure. So I was hoping some of you might be able to give me a little insight to see if this is a good choice to run with (I’m so hoping it is – I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now!)

    Basically, it’s a Member-managed site. BuddyPress seems to fit in perfectly with what this woman wants to do – enabled private messaging (which she will need) and have individual private areas. She’s wanting to use the WordPress site as a more effective way for her to communicate with her clients on a case-by-case basis.

    She would like to have the ability for her clients to “pay for a subscription” online through the site, and when they do, they will get a “blog” for their use, and the private messaging center and all that.

    The question comes in here: 1) the “blogs” need to be kept private. Only the client who writes the log for that day, and the lady who’s running the site, should be able to see these posts. The “blog” will not even really be a regular blog – it’s a tracking system for her clients. They put in some particular information, and she goes in and evaluates the info – then she sends them files that are her recommendations. These activities are not meant to be made public for *all* members to see – just her and that individual. and 2) *can* you “monetize” BuddyPress in this way? I was thinking it might be easier if she just has the client fill out a form, pay through PayPal and when she gets notification, she sets them up with their own “blog” manually. Is this possible? Or are there better ways around it? (like some kind of plugin that will notify the end user that their subscription is about to expire, and if they don’t renew, then they are locked out?)

    I’d appreciate any insight into this. I’m not looking to have anyone do the work *for* me – I’m just curious if BuddyPress would be a good match for this type of system, or if I should go another route.

    Thanks!

    Hi all,

    I’d like to allow users of my site the ability to mark any content, blog posts, comments, forum topics/replies, private messages, wire posts – as ‘Favourite’ items, and then those items be available on a page for them.

    How would I go about this do you think?

    Cheers,

    Alex

    PerS, Does this toksta chat app only display in the member themes like Facebook chat because if in the home theme, it would be abused and not private?

    I guess I should start at the beginning.

    A) I’ve made LOTS of core mods, I have no plans of upgrading, as I am heavily customizing this and removing as many features as I will be adding.

    This particular thing comes from me adding 2 check boxes where you post a blog entry now the user has a choice of “keep private” “friends only” and “logged in members only” so when checking friends, or loggedin I set the post_status to friend, or loggedin respectively. This allows me when any theme calls “THE LOOP” as it were I can look at the post_status and decided if the user matches the credentials.

    As for now what I have working is if user is logged in the loggedin only posts show with all of the standard published posts no problem. if the user is the owner then everything shows, but if the user is a friend the friend check is failing and there-by not showing the friend only posts.

    The place I have injected this is in query.php file. I think I’m going to look through this quite a bit more today on my own… I’ll post the result in case others are trying to use this function from outside the bp-core.

    Also, in the email message, the url to the message is [site]/members/brentlayman/messages/view/. This takes you to your message box but should link directly to the message.

    Situation

    1. User A sends a private message to users B and C.

    2. User B and C receive a properly formatted email notification about user A’s message.

    3. User B replies to the message

    4. User A and C receive an email notification about the message. However, in the email message, where the content of the message should be, only “” is displayed.

    I’m on RC1 for BuddyPress and build 1677 of wpmu.

    Thanks!

    i would like to see member themes changeable on a per user basis so they can have their own skins as such, and also allow them to create their own, i think we need to collaborate as to what the user can change and what they cant, it would be nice to allow them selected css,

    i would also like to see the modules changeable in a drag and drop kinda way and allow the user to choose which modules they do or do not want to use,

    im interested in a love plugin which allows users to post a little love icon with thier wire posts but i could also see this being extended to comments, i have made a request for it before but got no replies so visit my profile for the topic,

    last fm integration would be majorly cool i think, as it would rival many of the ‘apps’ out there on the larger social networks. building on this area of things you could also add twitter, etc. so i guess what im trying to say is focus on the users ‘lifestream’

    when the user logs in i want them to go straight to the dashboard but the dashboard should have things like pending freind requests, groups to join, latest comments, profile stats (incuding who visited thier profile), options and such like, and an aggregation of thier freinds activity updates. when i visit my site i dont care what user a,b and c are up to im just interested in what my freinds x,y and z did recently,

    so it would be very useful to have these widgets in the dashboard, that way everything is centralised for the user to do things,

    another thing i thought would be useful was profile privacy options, allowing members to discriminate based on age eg, users over X cant visit profiles for members under 18 or whatever, maybe allow the user to choose who can contact them / add them etc,

    also have a block ability and mark as spam,

    the profile itself should have 3 modes of operation, public – everything is displayed, semi private, freinds can see full profile, non freinds can see selected modules / different modules only, and fully private – the user must be freinds to see anything other than name, age and city/ country.

    i have used the profile sidebar plugin, but as of yet there are no freinds or group widgets for it, i would like to see these with a good amount of configurability options allowing for things like top freinds, other half etc

    sorry for such a long post but i would like to see these features implemented as i think they would greatly enhance buddypress!!

    thanks!!

    Actually, yes! I created a small little plugin to force member login to see member profiles. I was going to put it on groups as well, but my members wanted groups that are public to be just that, public. There is already an option to make a group private anyways.

    We’ve got two themes going on in bp. The ‘blog’ theme and the member theme. bp ships with a home theme that is a widget framework. It serves as the theme that many activate as their ‘blog’ theme to run on the wpmu root blog. You’ll also see lots of standard WP themes being used and adapted to serving as the root blog theme. Lots of wonderful examples of what is possible are available.

    Developing new member themes seem to be the challenging area that needs attention. Since the gurus are asking, I suggest you folks do some heavy lifting in that area.

    Standard WP themes could also use a touch of bp flavor. Integration of some bp features into a WP theme might be nice. bp flavors such as:

    – Profile and avatar support in blog posts, comments. When viewing an author or comment stream many times I’d like to leave a quick private note to somebody. Within the avatar/name/vcard block perhaps a link to send them a bp private message.

    – Use of bp’s Groups for blog orientation. By orientation I mean that the blog theme should be constructed with multiple users in mind. As a given and not an afterthought. That the blog is a cooperative endeavor and should reflect that fact.

    – Integration of the wire component as an ‘aside’ tool. General, quick comment area for members not tied to specific posts.

    – A blog is also an individual’s way of expressing themselves yes. However in bp people have friends, belong to groups and have a personal activity stream. Perhaps some way of including that without launching the entire member profile for somebody would be nice.

    I guess all my suggestions have to do with integrating useful bp features into standard WP themes so that the theme reflects to visitors they are just not in WP’s version of Kansas anymore. Which they aren’t. We don’t have to hit people over the head with social networking features, just include them in a natural and appropriate manner.

    If you do a search for “private” or “members only” you will find loads of examples of what people are doing to restrict things right now with Buddypress ;)

    I have a private site. I am looking for a plug in that when people come to my site they can either “log in” or “register” anyone know of a good plugin that does that? I am using version 2.7

    After hours working on that I found a solution, but isn’t definitive and already have a bug! Let’s go. Nicolas, don’t kill me – i’m trying to help! :-)

    In the line 728 on bp-xprofile-classes.php just copy and paste the code bellow:

    <div id="titlediv">

    <h3><label for="is_public"><?php _e("Is This Field Public?", 'buddypress') ?> *</label></h3>

    <select name="is_public" id="is_public" style="width: 30%">

    <option value="0"<?php if ( $this->is_public == '0' ) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>><?php _e( 'Public', 'buddypress' ) ?></option>

    <option value="1"<?php if ( $this->is_public == '1' ) { ?> selected="selected"<?php } ?>><?php _e( 'Private', 'buddypress' ) ?></option>

    </select>

    </div>

    This code will add an opition in the field edit screen / at ProfileFields Admin – to keep the data private for “non friend users”

    But the problem is IF the field have data and you aren’t a friend, you will see the field name, but the data will be hidden. look at my birthday http://voiceover-casting.com/members/admin/

    I have tryed do the same with the Groups Fields but doesn’t work. Maybe someone can help me to create “Hidden Field Groups” and found a fix my newbie solusion for the “Private Fields” bug.

    Could be nice if in a new version the admin and the users can select “Who can see the data” like: “Public, Only Friends, Hidden (only visible for admin and the owner), “.

    Nicolas, I will donate for you soon for your great job.

    This is not exactly the same problem as in topic, but I’ll post this here. :)

    I’m using Wp 2.7, bp rc-1 and ds_private_blog plugin.

    Sitewide activity records every new post and comment even from the blogs set to be fully private (admin only). How can I exclude those?

    A great addition for me would be to create ‘Group Events’, events which are associated with specific groups.

    Say my group wanted to organise a meetup, we could go to our group page and under “Forum, Wire, Members” etc there would be a “Group Events” option, which when clicked would show all our events and have an option to add a new one. When creating that event we could choose to send invites to the members of the group instead of adding them individually.

    If the group is private or hidden our events would also be private/hidden. Group Events would also appear on my personal Events page.

    Not private? No it’s a completely open site. It’s been an experimental development site up to this point. I’m rushing around trying to undo all the experimental stuff and turn it into a real website now. Have to do that to do support for plugins. :)

    It’s always going to be kind of unstable. I test alot of ideas there.
