BuddyPress.org

Hi !
I am really intersted in your subject, and to me disabling “Friends” in the Component Setup is not enough.
I am setting up an alumni website for my school, and we would like directly everybody to benefit from the “Friends” capabilities without the operation of asking everybody to be “Friends”…with all the time that takes, and with experience, we see lot of people don’t care and never answer to that request.
I tried disabling “Friends” but then the simplest function of “fullfilling a name in the private message thing” doesn’t work anymore…between other things…

So, is it possible, is there any plugin for giving everybody all the accesses for talking, writing mass messaging, create events, etc…automatically, without asking anyone to be “Friend” ?

Thank you very very much for you help !

drwebsitein, did you ever find a solution to this? im looking to implement a similar feature, and need to pass in the username.

Just use Buddypress Groups, and don’t put any content on the site outside of the private groups.

Or, go back to using just bbpress and install a private messaging plugin if that’s all the extra you need?

that’s just one i found.

Hi, I’m also keen to know the answer to this question – I want to run BuddyPress as a client portal for a small business, so clients can log in and create an account, then communicate with staff, but they can’t message each other (or see each other’s profiles, ideally).

Please let me know if it helped you..
it took me days to figure this out.
Hope it will help me anyone.

As opposed to multiple reg forms using s2member levels, I have created a business profile group for my Brands (S2 level 2). I use the s2member levels and css to hide this profile group from “consumers” (S2 level 1) on the site.

I have then created a private group just for the brands, and created a condition loop in the member header that shows the info from the brand profile section if filled out and only if they belong to this private group.

If this idea appeals to you and you need details let me know.

Wish you luck with the new venture!!

Messages are only available from your profile page:
hxxp://example.com/members/USERNAME/messages

What @mercime means is that several of your questions are dependent on the theme you’ve purchased, ‘executive’. WPMU.org is not the official WordPress site, but is a private company that sells themes and plugins. It’s not possible for people on this free forum to provide support for a theme that is sold privately; you should go to wpmu.org for that.

General BuddyPress questions are welcome here, though. For instance,
`Furthermore I don’t seem to have a members directory in my dashboard.`
BuddyPress does not add a members directory to your Dashboard. You can find a members list at Dashboard > Users (or Dashboard >Network Admin > Users on Multisite)

Could be a theme issue. Change to bp-default theme and see if same behavior occurs.

Robcwright…I added to the code to fix the problem with logged out users or users who aren’t members of private groups being kicked back to the home page when they click on the name of a private group:

function redirect_to_forum() {
global $bp;

$path = clean_url( $_SERVER );

$path = apply_filters( ‘bp_uri’, $path );

if ($bp->groups->current_group->user_has_access === true) {

if ( bp_is_group_home() && strpos( $path, $bp->bp_options_nav ) === false ) {
if( $bp->bp_options_nav )
bp_core_redirect( $path . $bp->bp_options_nav . ‘/’ );
}
}
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘redirect_to_forum’ );

This checks to see if the user has access before redirecting to the forum page as the home page. The function is found in bp_groups.php , line 187.

Well I don’t know if this a bug or not, but I found (almost) the root of the problem and a relatively simple fix.

I discovered that the recipients table had entries for threads that were not in the messages tables. I don’t know where these threads came from, but they were definitely there. So I changed the messaging code to generate the thread_id from the recipients table rather than the messages table.

If this was some sort of database corruption, this was a reasonable fix for me. We don’t have enough messages for it to be a performance issue and if something else is inserting into that recipients table we shouldn’t conflict with it (assuming it is generating thread_ids in the same way).

I really don’t know enough about BuddyPress to know if this is a core bug or some other issue related to our theme (I can’t find any other references to that table so it’s kinda wierd).

bp-messages-classes.php:

/* If we have no thread_id then this is the first message of a new thread. */
if ( empty( $this->thread_id ) ) {
$this->thread_id = (int)$wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( “SELECT MAX(thread_id) FROM {$bp->messages->table_name_recipients}” ) ) + 1;
$new_thread = true;
}

You could take a slightly different approach and hide the content but keep the tab: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/hiding-activity-content-for-non-logged-users/

There is also this (I’ve not used it though): https://buddypress.org/community/groups/private-buddypress/activity/

As for the second bit.. which plugin are you using?

I think this post is something similar to what you are asking: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/make-groups-visibile-but-invite-only/

I’m seeing this as well, and I’ve even seen it happen when our caching system was turned off. Could you provide a few more details as to what modules are involved or how the file caching triggers this as I would definitely like to find a way of fixing this.

I have the same problem with birth date in french.
Warum ?
According to this ticket, this would be solved in 1.3 (even if this problem was mentionned 2 years ago…)
