BuddyPress.org

Take a view here, they’re some alternate solutions

Groups can also have their own blogs (in subsites) which can be made private. So for each grade or each school organization, teacher/admin can create posts and students can have discussions via post comments. No forum, no problema.

Apparently there’s no way to copy the code here :S Anyway do you know how to do this?

Interesting!

I want to add dropdown list to choose between showing all or unread messages, how could this be applied? I added the following code but nothing happens:

Oh Sorry, I understand that the link is not used.

So this:

(a) href = “/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = ” target = “_blank”> send message (a)

Hallo @talha8877

Excuse me, my English is not so good, unfortunately.

I used the plugin Cartpauj PM Plugin from Mingle, as I have found as yet no viable solution to the buttons (message etc) of the BuddyPress insertion into posts / Articels.

So now I turn off the message part of BuddyPress and linking all the Cartpauj PM, which works wonderfully, except out of BuddyPress. There does not work.

Of Cartpauj in single.php just the link:

<a href = "/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = “> Send

. put But as I said, the link works in BuddyPress indeed, but does not with the member users, which I will write. Since I’m still looking for a solution. Evtentuell with: bp user id, funktioiert might not.

So who has a solution to integrate Cartpauj PM in buddybress, bring it on.

That´s it

Thank you

hi @ngoegan,
on what type of host are you ? Shared, VPS ?  How many memory_limit do you have on your server ?
On cheap host, using WP+BP is already to much. If you add 1 or 2 plugins and a cache plugin, it comes to quickly to disaster….

But also you can’t ask for help if you don’t  play with the common rules. You are using latest WP & BP and a outdated plugin. Don’t be surprised that it doesn’t work ! Or very wobbly…

Private BuddyPress
Requires: 3.0, BuddyPress 1.2 or higher
Compatible up to: 3.1, BuddyPress 1.3

Deactivate it and you will certainly see a difference.
You also use WP Super Cache. Don’t forget to clear the cache and to deactivate this plugin while testing BP.

Hi @strangerrj,
How do you generate the /the_messaging_page/ part in php?

@chouf1,
I used it just like that inside the template but it didn’t return anything. But if I only use an action hook like
`add_action( ‘the_content’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’, 5 );`
Then the same button appears in all the posts. First I thought this worked but when I clicked the button all the buttons in all the posts became ‘cancel friendship request’

As super_admin you can access any group admin and delete it if he’s not appropriate to your site theme.
Or you can make it private or hidden.

You can also when on site admin go to settings > buddypress > settings tab and uncheck Enable group creation for all users.
This allows to keep group creation open. Now, if a user want a group, he had to ask you to do that for him, so you will have better control what people do on your site.

1. Any private WordPress plugin should work with bp. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/
2. You can use a maintenance mode plugin but use it as a private site plugin.
3. I have a paid plugin that includes privacy settings BuddySuite

Hello, I received the solution from houseofstrauss: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-the-user-id-for-pm-plugin?replies=2

Thanx @houseofstrauss

Is it also possible to integrate in buddypress the member header? The link work, but he does not detect the user from buddypress, the user I want to mail.

And is it possible in the same window e.g. in Thickbox to open Colorbox or Lightbox?

this link is:

a href=”the_messaging_page/?pmaction=newmessage&to=<?php the_author_ID(); PM me

the_author_ID is not correctly for Buddypress.

Thanx Greetings R.

Looking to do something similar, but I’m using the buddypress follow me plugin. I would like to display the “follow” button on my childsite’s sidebar.

By default, add as friend works only on the profile template or on the member template. So if you want to add this button into a post or in the post meta, it won’t work, i believe.
You should call the good template part first and probably need to add the appropriate action hook, yes.

Did you use the statement if ( bp_is_active( ‘friends’ ) ) before `bp_add_friend_button ?
`

Hi Chouf,

Thanks for the response. Although I’m having hard time connecting the dots.
I’d already used
`bp_add_friend_button( $user_ids[‘users’][$i]->id ) ?>`

directly in my code but it didn’t return any results.
Do I need to use an action hook to display it in posts?

hi @talha8877,

i think the answer is in bp-friends/bp-friends-templatetags.php:145

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/developer-docs/action-reference/friends/

Hi!

I’m wondering if anybody figured out how to add a template tag for Add Friend button?

Cheers

Check out the plugin wp-members. I have been using it on a family site and it does exactly what you are looking to do. I only just tried it on BuddyPress (CBOX) tonight. It seemed to work ok.

You want something like a closed beta. http://codecanyon.net/item/closed-beta-wordpress-plugin/3395536

The problem with this scenario is the Buddypress sends asks the user for a password, then the user approval generates another. I have been beating my head trying to solve this same problem. I need users to resister without a password, then when they are approved, they get sent a generated password.

okay…i deactivate some plugins and i found out, that i cant view the stream because of the “Private BuddyPress” plugin

but i cant deactivate it, because i need it.

is there any solution?

I would not use the current activity post form. I would create a group extension and have a private submit form for admins only.

Sample code to show how to add activity:
