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

Just wrap that define with code that tests if a user is a member of group.

I am having the exact same problem. I submitted it as a ticket:

https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4706

What is happening is its trying to redirect to the home tab, then the change default filter moves it to the other tab, which causes the loop.

Until its fixed simply add ‘/home’ to the line mentioned in the ticket.

Boris,

I have a few questions. I really like what you’re offering in Shabushabu and have questions about utility.

1. So this map can be added to each user profile to correlate to their location. Can you set it to private?

2. On your events plugin can you set the event geo tag to correlate with the profile. Meaning if you have a profile search event, to create begin and end point for instant navigation.

3. Is this offered to the US? I’m not sure what the prices are for us here.

Thanks,
Jeremiah

@paintermommy did you ever get this to work with the wishlist plugin? Are your forums private and only for paid members?

@jules-colle

Finished almost exactly the same requirement for a private community, certain profile fields consist of data needed to be added by the site rather than individual users, so set specific edit profile fields to super_admin only but allowed the public view, then as admin you just need to navigate to the users account and then use the admin links on adminbar to edit users profile.

Users are not a BP managed item, Users belong to WP thus adding new users does not present the same xprofile fields for editing.
