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.

@ubernaut Thanks. No worries, I’m handling private BP sites at this time

I’m not clear quite what you want but the end of the following post is about creating different logged in and out menus ( with a child of bp-default theme ) …
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/how-do-i-make-buddypress-1-6-a-private-community/#post-136021.

There was a bug with bp-default theme shipped with bp 1.6+ and any theme which is based on bp-default or copies functions from it has the same bug.

Here is a way to fix that.

First look for this code(or similar) in your themes functions.php

if ( !is_admin() ) {
// Register buttons for the relevant component templates
// Friends button
if ( bp_is_active( 'friends' ) )
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_add_friend_button',           5 );

// Activity button
if ( bp_is_active( 'activity' ) )
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_public_message_button',  20 );

// Messages button
if ( bp_is_active( 'messages' ) )
add_action( 'bp_member_header_actions',    'bp_send_private_message_button', 20 );

and change this line

if(!is_admin()){

to this

if ( !is_admin()||(is_admin()&&defined('DOING_AJAX')) ) {

and it will work.

Hi Shane,
You can install buddypress on secondary blog and use it as private network.

Here are some details on configuring BuddyPress on secondary network
https://codex.buddypress.org/users/getting-started/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/

and you can use any of the wordpress privacy plugin to make this network private.
Hope that helps.

My first guess without seeing a link would be some scripting error. Can you check using the web inspector in Chrome (or another browser)? https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/

I’d suggest if possible to remove all plugins and see if something is causing this. Also make sure your theme and plugins are up to date.

If that doesn’t fix it could you please provide a link to your site as it’s hard to diagnose without being able to see one. I know sometimes that’s not possible as private or work in progress, but if it is possible it can help.

However @ethanvan can we keep things on site please not off on private emails, we have already a group or thread on codex matters lets try and keep focussed there.

I agree about the sentiments re attempting to mirror WP codex as much as possible.

We don’t simply want a long list of hooks/filters though we have a complexity of functions that need describing , also we need to explain the basics of how BP works in terms of navigation, core templating etc it’s not straightforward and not strictly in keeping with WP we need examples of how to create new nav items, update and improve examples of the primary loops, group extension etc

Use the wordpress menu system but create a logged in menu and an alternative
