BuddyPress.org

isn’t that the same way private groups already behave?

Hi @hindicell

first of all create a child theme for Frisco.

And use conditionnal tags to show/hide template parts intended for logged in or out users.

Something like

<code> if ( is_user_logged_in()  ) :

the stuff to show to logged in users

endif;</code>

and/or

<code> if ( ! is_user_logged_in()  ) :

the stuff to show to logged  out users

endif;</code>

But before going on a overcomplicated work, you would prefer a private BP site ? If so read here:

hi there i’m not so much of coder but i’m thinking i’ll chime in here anyway but most of what you are looking for usually falls under the umbrella of what plugins normally do. some people like to make their own i not being a programmer tend to go with whats already been done for the most part.

#1 you might want to check out s2 members plugin does everything you are looking for in #1 and more but then again that’s not always desirable just saying you might want to check it out.

#2 what you are saying here seems to be a non-sequiter if you actually meant to say site instead of network however it sounds like you actually want to be giving new users Author or Contributor users roles which is actually just a WordPress thing and has very little to do with BuddyPress itself other then possible a hook into the public profiles but again this sounds like something that might also be handled by a plugin especially with regards to reordering the content. Be advised this information already exists on a contributors author page which again sort of a WP thing and not really a BP thing.

#3 is already sorta possibly already similar to the last thing any post (wp thing) can be set to private or password protected but tying that access to different BP connections once again sounds to me like some a plugin might do.

#4 i don’t follow this one either if nobody can see each other how would they ask them to be friends? if you wanted to do such a thing it once again sounds like a plugin.

plugins that do what you are looking for may or may not exist, you will need to do some research or perhaps build them yourself. Like i said before i’m not actually a programmer but from what i hear WP/BP plugin coding is relatively stratiforward if you are proficient in php.

This link should have been included in the last post. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/possible-to-exclude-post-categories-in-activity-stream-and-make-a-user-profile-private-like-with-pri/

(Also buddypress-edit-activity-stream no longer working on https://buddypress.org/support/ – by design ???)

Not quite the answer to your query as it is supposed to be inserted into the blogs rather than the bp end. It appears to disallow posts filtered by certain categories or tags from being entered in the bp activity stream. Paul will know if it works with the current versions of bp and wp.

Not sure what you mean by “public area” — everything is assumed public, unless it’s explicitly private (like private/hidden groups.)

Anyone ? Please…

When you create the group, it can be a private group. Try creating a test group that’s private and play with it. Create a test user and try it out.

I would explore plug-ins to see if there may be a fix there for you. I’ve never tried to have this level of specific customization, usually plug-ins are the answer.

Some of this may be theme specific.

Depends. You might have set some groups to public and thus have public forums while you set up the others as private groups which then have respective private forums.

Do post at plugin’s suppport forum https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-groups-extras

Does someone know where is the problem ?
Thanks

If you are proficient at coding you may be able to figure it out, i couldn’t. the feature is going to be built into the next version of buddypress if you can’t wait and manage to figure it out please let me know cause i’d love to be able to do that as well.

Thanks,
Actually i think that your code should work and that my problem may be not where i thought. problem.
When i use
define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
it works but when i put it in a function like that, nothing happens:

function redirect_to_forum(){
define('BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION', 'forum' );
}
add_action('wp','redirect_to_forum');


So, i think that’s why nothing happens when i try to add your code.
Do you know what’s wrong with my function ?

Just came across this issue. Updates in Groups that were previously public, now private, are shown to a non-member in All Activities page. However, if they open the group page, they are of course told that it’s private (nothing is shown). Isn’t there a way for the loop to just check the group privacy status for each activity item?

This is in 1.6.1 (as WP plugin)

This is not tested but you don’t want the define to run if a member is not a member of a private group.

if ( bp_group_is_visible  &&  bp_is_group_member() ) {

define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );

}

Sorry, here is what i tried :

function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;
if( bp_is_group_members() )
define(‘BP_GROUPS_DEFAULT_EXTENSION’, ‘forum’ );
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );

Hi,
I have the same problem, i tried this :

but it doesn’t work, am i doing something wrong ?
Besides i got a warning message :

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter – headers already sent (output started at /homez.38/centrale/www/demo/demo/INELSE/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php:10) in /homez.38/centrale/www/demo/demo/INELSE/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/classes/em-notices.php on line 11

If someone has a solution, it would be really great

Or, if group is private and user is not member
