BuddyPress.org

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

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:

code to swap avatar from user to group:

Hello Henry, my Englisch is not so good. Sorry.

I do have 2 Problems, maybe you can help me: 1. send private message and 2. send public message doesn’t work but not like on the buddypress page itself. If for example click the private message, the message page opens without the address User name field, but it appears only an mempty field. Where is the mistake? And this could be handled and dissolve in an jquery colorbox or fancybox manner?

Thanks R.

@ngoegan What private community plugin did you use? I’ve been trying to create a private BuddyPress community and the plugin I’m aware of is old. I’d love to know if it still works so I can avoid using a funny collection of other hacks I’ve read about.

I may have misunderstood you but that’s the way the messages are usually sent e.g. private messages. Could you be more specific about which message you are referring to?

You couldn’t find this?!

Obviously play around with the code to get what you need  but that’s the basic principle for a re-direct away from pages wanted to be made private.

Hi there,

Just a thought, but couldn’t you send him a private message in the ‘messages’ section?

Plugins usually get abandoned because the developer has no benefit on maintaining them. You can try to fix one of the free plugins or google a bit. Private sites have been talked a bunch and there are many solutions. I am working on a paid plugin that has privacy features with custom login/register pages that privatize a site. Will be available next week.

BuddyPress overides urls and such. Regular WordPress plugins do not always take BP into consideration. BP 1.7 should work better with WordPress plugins as it uses page.php to display content instead of hijacking urls

It’s called an author archive page and it is automatically generated by your theme more info on that can be found here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates#Custom_Author_Information

such a page already exists but it’s not part of buddypress the link takes the following form:

yourdomain.top/author/username
