Checking back in- my original post got lost several pages in the jumble and I hadn’t heard anything. Anyone have any feedback about PMing groups?
Sounds like you’re might have found a bug. Please would you make a report on http://buddypress.trac.WordPress.org ? thanks
Thanks. I had an old plugin — wordpress private. Switched to Private Buddypress. Works now.

Many Many thanks. Thrilled to bits.
@creaturis you’re welcome & thanks 
I always make stupid mistakes like these. 
. I really should start reading “php for dummies” .
works amazingly well now, and thank you for explaining the function the 9 and 2 has. you got great coding skills.
thanks a lot. yup that was pretty much what i had in mind. a profile that only friends can see .
I tried the function. but doesn’t seem to work. Probably my fault. anyways I changed the 9 and 2 id to the categories I wanted removed from activity but they still show up. do I have to change something else in this code also?
I really appreciate that you wrote and/or shared this code btw.
@shanebp I’m working on using Aurigma Up on our private site for the change-avatar.php file. If you don’t mind me asking you:
1. How did you handle ‘uploadUrl’ request? Did you send it to an upload file and process it there? Or did it bring it back to the change-avatar.php file?
2. Then when you redirected it back to change-avatar, how did you get image processed?
Thanks for your help. Once I get it working, I’ll writing it so everyone can see how to do it.
Hi, I found the problem – the plugin WP Buddypress private community was conflicting with it, so I deactivated the plugin and now the link goes through.
Thanks Mercime, Queenieb & Odofincaleb for all your help, really appreciate it!
actually didn’t take it as criticism, it’s just a difficult area support forums for OS apps are run by volunteers, the ones that can answer questions effectively are more than often working pros so haven’t that much time for in depth help.
There are a few private forums or sites dedicated to BP you could try buddydev or bp-tricks? but not sure of the level of support those can offer.
Almost forgot:
WordPress v 3.3.1
BuddyPress v 1.5.4
Hi Boone!
I used your code to show only Public groups on the groups directory page however my issue is that when people use the search box on the directory, even private groups show up! Can you please help me stop private groups from showing up in the search results as well?
Hello aces,
I ran across the code and I thought it was a “this will work with any bp install kind of thing” clearly I was wrong.
Your code worked perfectly.
Thank you.
You don’t say what your add action is hooked to ( or what the line number refers to ). Do you have a `’walled_garden’` hook in your template?
I would suggest trying the following (I use something similiar but allow access to groups and forums):
`
function sh_walled_garden()
{
global $bp;
if( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() )
return;
if( ! bp_is_blog_page() && ! is_user_logged_in() )
bp_core_redirect( bp_get_signup_page() );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );
`
I also substitute `add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, ‘sh_walled_garden’ );` on a different site….
`bp_init` and `wp_loaded` are “native” to buddypress/wordpress so you don’t need to create your own template hook….
This is in a bp-custom-php file – using buddypress v1.5.5 as I haven’t upgraded to 1.5.6 yet….
Ignore that, I had a look at the messages_new_message function and realised it should be sending a notification so I guessed the issue was I was testing using the same id for uploader and denyer, i changed to another uploader and it worked perfectly
Thanks so much for that, it’s used within a plugin so I used:
`
function bp_send_image_denied_message($sender_id, $recip_id, $subject, $message) {
global $bp;
if ( $thread_id = messages_new_message( array(‘sender_id’ => $sender_id, ‘subject’ => $subject, ‘content’ => $message, ‘recipients’ => $recip_id ) ) ) {
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘Image Denied Message was sent.’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
} else {
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘There was an error sending that Private Message.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’ );
}
} `
and pass the required bits, the only thing it’s not doing is adding a notification item, is there an easy way to add that?
Again, thanks a lot, I would have spent ages trying to figure that out.
The function is messages_new_message()
> when an image is denied an email is sent out to the user
So you have a function or some code that does that, yes?
Then you could use parts of the below in that code or call it as a function
`
function bp_send_image_denied_message() {
global $bp;
//check_admin_referer(message_check”); // adjust if needed
$sender_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id; // moderator id ?
$recip_id = $bp->displayed_user->id; // denied image user id ?
if ( $thread_id = messages_new_message( array(‘sender_id’ => $sender_id, ‘subject’ => ‘Image Denied, ‘content’ => ‘why it was denied], ‘recipients’ => $recip_id ) ) ) {
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘Image Denied Message was sent.’, ‘buddypress’ ) );
bp_core_redirect( $bp->displayed_user->domain ); // adjust as needed
} else {
bp_core_add_message( __( ‘There was an error sending that Private Message.’, ‘buddypress’ ), ‘error’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_send_image_denied_message’, 3 );
`
Thanks once again Hugo, you always have the solution!
I was doing the sort of digging you describe yesterday in fact and was able to find out how to add a “Follow” button which may interest users of Andy’s plugin BuddyPress Followers:
bp_follow_add_follow_button( bp_displayed_user_id() );
I don’t think this is very easy to do, if at all. The reason being groups are pretty much hardcoded to three types of membership status: public, private, hidden. You could add some checks to only permit display of the activity list page, but you’d need to somehow keep track of if the user has “joined” the group.
I say “joined” because the user will have already joined the group — but you need a secondary type of group membership. You could store such a setting in group meta.
This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone ask to send messages without a subject. It’s mandatory.
As a workaround, you could edit the messages templates, and replace the input text box (for the subject) with a input type of “hidden”, and set value to something like e.g. “private message”. It’s not foolproof, as a smart user could still change the subject, but I get the impression you wouldn’t be that bothered in that case
bp_member_add_friend_button() you would find that by looking in the bp-friends-tamplate.php and to find it was in that file meant looking at the members loop to see how the action buttons are handled and tracing the do_action handle back to that template file you’ll then realise ‘bp_member_add_friend_button()’ echoes bp_get_add_friend_button() with passed args so you then need to trace that function to see further how the friends button works.
In the profile we trace back to functions.php and find ‘bp_add_friend_button()’ that traces to various files, bp-friends-template.php the one of interest again.
OK i have managed to find
bp_send_private_message_link and bp_send_private_message_link()
This covers points 1 and 3 above.
Does anyone know if there is a template tag for Add Friend button?
