BuddyPress.org

Hi Henry

I went to ‘plugins’/buddypress/settings, and found the following (I note that “account settings” is not ticked – could this be it?)
I have bolded the ones that are ticked currently.

Settings:

I’ve found by myself 🙂

To send HTML private message, you must add :
[
edited – Please use the ‘code’ button when you post code.
Please note that removing that filter creates a major security risk.
It means user input WILL NOT BE SANITIZED.
So some very bad things can happen to your database.
]
remove_filter( 'messages_message_content_before_save', 'wp_filter_kses', 1);

To the bp-custom.php file.

I hope it will helps !

Hello Henrywright,

Thanks you for your response.
I tried what you advise me, nothing works 🙁

When I sent with WP-Mail-SMTP, it’s what I have. Maybe that can give you more informations:

The result was:
bool(true)

Sorry, I couldn’t think this way.

I had in my mind that maybe a company would like to create a private community, so it would make sense to select “Discourage search engines from indexing this site” but without losing the feature of updating the activity stream…

Well, still doesn’t make sense to me to consider it a feature but that’s just me 🙂

OK, thanks. I should clarify that by respond, I don’t mean comment, I mean send email to the original poster, i.e. if someone had an item for sale and the person wanted to send them a private email about it.

Hi Shane, I’ve gone a different route, hoping to avoid adding user IDs everytime a new Board Member joins the BP site.

From a support request, I discovered that I could exclude or include roles to display in the members loop by adding the following code to the members-loop.php. For the private BP site, using the Members plugin, I created a new role, “bod_member” and reassigned the few members this role. I then added the following code to include only the bod_member…

<?php while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();
$user = new WP_User( bp_get_member_user_id() );
if ( $user->roles[0] == 'bod_member' ) :
?>

Unfortunately, upon saving the file, the site returned a parse error, referencing the code below:

<?php endwhile; ?>

The error begins with “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘endwhile'”

Am I doing something wrong?

🙂 Eric

Thanks for the prompt response, Shane.

Yes, only the alphabetical sort displays all MS users. The issue is that the BP site is a private Board of Directors site, while the other sites are maintained by users that are employees and have no business showing up as members of the private BP site.

There are only 12 board members that are BP users vs. 100+ employee users for the other sites.

Any idea of how to write the filter?

🙂 Eric

Thanks danbp

Really sorry to bother you again.

I implemented this but it is not removing anyone from the loop. I looked at the gist you linked too and (with my limited php experience) combined with the text in the top

Filter Members List Based On Profile Field – Female members are served a directory of males and male members are served a directory of females.

then I am wondering if I have not explained myself properly.

I want to hide/remove members from the loop who has chosen “private” in their profile. I don’t want any members to be able to see members who has chosen “private”.

By PM I mean Private Message and when I go to the Private Message screen to send one to a user, username suggestions do not appear in the box as I begin to type letters regardless of whether I start with an @ or not.
So I guess that this feature doesn’t exist and that there are no plugins to make it work?

Nice, I was actually looking at that a couple of days ago. I had tried a few things out, but to no avail.

Here’s where i’m at: I’ve commented the above edited section of members-loop.php.

In my bp-custom.php i’ve copy/pasted the code from the link you sent, and have applied the following edits to it:

    private function get_custom_ids() {
        global $wpdb;
 
        // collection based on an xprofile field
		// WP_User_Query arguments
		$args = array (
			'role'           => 's2member_level2',
			'fields'         => array( 'id' ),
		);

		// The User Query
		$user_query = new WP_User_Query( $args );	
		//The User Loop
		if ( ! empty( $user_query->results ) ) {
			foreach ( $user_query->results as $user ) {
				$custom_ids = $user.",";
			}
		} else {
			// no users found
		}
        //$custom_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT user_id FROM {$wpdb->prefix}bp_xprofile_data WHERE field_id = 8 AND value = 'no'");
		
        return $custom_ids;
    }  

I also, made the lower two edits you suggested to the $query_array and return $new_count.

currently i’m getting this error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/collegi8/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php on line 30

line 30 is:

$custom_ids = $user.",";

Thanks for all your help man,

M
