BuddyPress.org

Private group options are:

1. Only users who request membership and are accepted can join the group.
2. This group will be listed in the groups directory and in search results.
3. Group content and activity will only be visible to members of the group.

Want to change the third option like public group. Private Group content and activity should visible to members of any site.

I want to change privat group setting. Its third option should work like public group. I want Group content and activity will be visible to any site member of private group. Is there any way to change this setting eithrt from admin or using coding?

Okay I managed to create a add friend button using some code found on this website.. but im still a little stuck on creating a send private message button? any help would be great! thank you!

function bp_custom_get_send_private_message_link($to_id,$subject=false,$message=false) {

//if user is not logged, do not prepare the link
if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

$compose_url=bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?';
if($to_id)
$compose_url.=('r=' . bp_core_get_username( $to_id ));
if($subject) 
$compose_url.=('&subject='.$subject);
/*if($message)
$compose_url.=("&content=".$message);*/

return wp_nonce_url( $compose_url ) ;
}

//for auto populating message content
add_filter(‘bp_get_messages_content_value’,’bp_custom_message_content_value’);
function bp_custom_message_content_value($content){

if(!empty ($content))
return $content;
$content=$_REQUEST[‘content’];

return $content;
}

Yes, just doubled checked, it’s in the correct place and the private and hidden groups are still there.

Thanks @shanebp. Yes, I contacted LearnDash over night and they suggested we look BuddyPress.

They said:
“I would look into BuddyPress. This has private groups and you can associate courses with different groups as well as allow each group have a private forum. You can find our add-on for BuddyPress here:
http://support.learndash.com/buddypress/”

I had a question about associating courses with different groups. I could only associate a course with 1 group. Is it possible to associate a course with multiple groups?

We would have the course Creative Writing
And multiple groups that we’d like to associate with it. Is that possible?

What does the association actually do? Do we need to associate the group with a course?

Thanks for your help!

I’ve tried doing that and removing everything related to the Private and Hidden options, but it hasn’t changed on the group creation page, still exactly the same.

Further testing:
– I’ve changed to TwentyFifteen theme
– deactivated all plugins except for BuddyPress and bbPress

I still can’t see topics that the user should be able to see. And they can access a private forum they aren’t a member of.

Where do I even begin to figure out what is going wrong with this site?

I just ran 2 forum repairs:
– Recalculate private and hidden forums
– Repair BuddyPress Group Forum relationships

and now I have a different problem. I’ve actually been experiencing this problem on and off now for about 2 weeks and I’m starting to pull my hair out!

So now if I go to the forum list (at the category level) I can see that there are topics in the child forums. But when I click through to the child forum it tells me “Oh bother! No topics were found here!” This is for a group that the user is a member of. There are definitely topics in that forum.

If I change the user from a Participant to a Moderator they can see the topics.

If I change them back to a Participant and then toggle the forum from private to public to private they can see the topics again. I have done this toggling of forum visibility several times over the past week and it only lasts for a day or two, then I’m back at this problem.

The thing is that I don’t know which plugin does the private messages..
Is it BuddyPress?

Also what does it matter how long it takes to load? Is it connected to the private messages?
