BuddyPress.org

I use a child theme derived from the default team, only changing the visibility of the menu as explained in //https://buddypress.org/support/topic/resolved-hiding-navigation-links-for-buddypress-pages-for-non-registered-users/
When I use the default theme as such, it still doesn’t work.
I also tried to change the user’s role to author; still no luck…

@prettiggeleerd what theme are you using? Have you tried changing to BP Default theme to check if it works?

@valuser
Hey thanks for spotting the bug. I just updated the plugin to 1.4 so read the readme.txt and install it to check and see if the added code takes care of the issue. Thanks!

Similar problem here: WP 3.5.1 multisite + BP 1.7.1
When admin accepts membership requests all works well; new members are added to the group list. But the new member doesn’t actually get access and still gets a message that says “this is a private group, request memberhip”.
I also use the DB Cache Reloaded Fix plugin.

Nice plugin. Is it easy for you to include function in this plugin to do either of the following:

* Automatically block (or make Private) the listing of posts in Activity from specific blogs on the network.

* Automatically block (or make Private) the listing of posts in Activity from specific users of the network.

I have been trying to do this for a long time but no such plugin or feature is available yet.

Thankyou.

This should have dealt with quite a few versions back so something may have crept back in. If you can ensure this isn’t some odd plugin issue and that this definitely wasn’t happening in 1.6 please open a ticket on http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org using your site credentials.

I will just add though that a quick test on a local install running trunk does NOT show any issue like this, so check carefully it isn’t plugin issue also scan through trac to see if there was a recent ticket and fix put in place.

Try this plugin to see if it fits your requirement just understand it makes all BP pages private but line 24 in private-community-for-bp.php can be edited and commented out the components you don’t wish to protect there is an example built in the plugin for sitewide forums to see how to comment certain components out:

For the life of me I cannot figure out why it doesn’t work for the friends loop. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Anyway I thought why not just build the link and throw it directly in the friends template?

echo wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . bp_core_get_username( bp_get_member_user_id() ) );

@henrywright-1

I’m not going to spoon-feed this to you.
But you’re on the right track.
( I should have said ‘ The clue is in your reply…’ )
You’ve found what is the same in those two situations.
So what is different about them ?

Sometimes it’s easier to start anew.
For example – instead of ‘how to I change this to do that’, start with ‘how do I do that’.

Use echo to confirm the required variables.
Use var_dump to expose all the fields in objects.

@shanebp you mean the bp_directory_members_item is different? That is the same in both the members directory and the friends list (both use the members loop)…

@henrywright-1
What’s different? The answer is in your reply “Thanks for that… ”

@valuser
That usage makes sense and has been mentioned by others.
But it’s not a simple tweak.
And would require an admin screen so you could choose to show / not show the button in loops.
And etc. etc.
I’ll write an article in the next week or so on

Thanks for function https://gist.github.com/shanebp/5391229

works bp 1.7, wp 3.5.1, bbPress 2.3.1 Theme: Child of bp Befault

Any chance that it might call up your BP Profile Message UX 1.1.3

Interestingly I just tried this outside of the members loop. It doesn’t work on the friends list page. What is different about the friends loop and the members loop for this not to work? Humm…

Thanks for that! I can see now you’ve created a new function display_private_message_button which hooks on to action bp_directory_members_item in the members loop. Sorry for being slow, i got there in the end :}

Start with the add_action and follow the function calls.
If you see a function that isn’t defined in the gist, then that function is in the codebase.
Find and study it.

The add_action calls a function that calls bp_send_message_button() which creates the button.
Part of creating the button is creating the link.
The link can be filtered – so look for apply_filters in that context.

@shanebp

Is it possible to explain how the code works?

Bummmp, I’m curious too. Thanks for any info!

gs is a shared environment as such it is not recommended for anything but private buddypress sites (maybe not even then). unlike other shared environments gs will not throttle you but instead they will bill you for overage the thing to really watch for is the GPU. WP+BP will use something like 100x the GPU of a typical static site when i used them on a BP site with about 2000 visitors a day about 2 years ago we were looking at about 200 in overage in the first month alone.

#1 some media temple term that doesn’t mean much just think of it as total bandwidth cause thats probably what it is.

#2 yes.

#3 1

#4 probably not but i’m sure you can buy extras. email accounts are totally separate from wordpress/buddypress accounts.

Have you tried this plugin. I tested it with WP 3.5.1 BP 1.7 and various themes. It works with all of my tests. It makes BP private and also redirects visitors trying to access BP pages to register. Read the readme.txt and study the code to change where you want your logged out visitors redirected to.
