BuddyPress.org

Hi Paul,

The full code is in this (small) plugin here:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/

The url is created with the following code:

class Group_Activity_Subscription extends BP_Group_Extension {



function group_activity_subscription() {

global $bp;



$this->name = 'Notifications';

$this->slug = 'notifications';



// Only enable the notifications nav item if the user is a member of the group

if ( groups_is_user_member( $bp->loggedin_user->id , $bp->groups->current_group->id )  ) {

$this->enable_nav_item = true;

} else {

$this->enable_nav_item = false;

}



$this->nav_item_position = 91;



$this->enable_create_step = false;

$this->enable_edit_item  = false;



add_action ( 'wp_print_styles' , array( &$this , 'add_settings_stylesheet' ) );



}

Hi,

thanks for the answers so far!

Setting up a separate bbBress is not really what I want, because it somehow would be overhead and a lot of additional for maintaining and everything.

Restricting Group creation sounds good. However this would require that all users are automatically created as members for the default group which will be used for getting the Forums. Additionally that would require some work on the theme, so that the users don’t get to see any Group related stuff.

I guess all this would be possible and I’ll look into it, but it’s not really what I had hoped…

@ashfame:

Just because I don’t want to use Groups, BuddyPress is still well suited for my project. I currently have most of the other components disabled as well (like Blogs, Friends, Activity Stream), but nevertheless there are enough features that I can use for a private community. I especially like the easy administration (from within the WordPress Frontend basically), because I don’t want the users to be in the WordPress admin area.

All of this is superior to a plain bbPress installation, because I get all the WordPress features with it “for free”. So basically this enables me to keep the current website for the project but add some community features to it.

Tobias

Im still in the dark i found some other leads here: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/15282?replies=7

Shit I wrote a long reply and lost it because I copied something over it in the clipboard

Anyways I will get my hands in BuddyPress soon. I do have the knowledge of the basics of the WordPress APIs (bbPress too) but this is my first day with BuddyPress.

1) I will keep the Moderation suite to the last position in job queue.

4) For main menu, I will have to edit the core file. Right?

5) Didn’t realize. Silly me

6) Just wanted to reserve multiple for myself like “Ashfame” other than the default “admin”

7) I am on WPMU. How can I blacklist certain usernames?

Thanks for the help so far!

Is it possible to put a link in the blog back to the associated group?

To use the group blog as a more Twitter-like microblogging tool, I’m going to try to integrate the P2 theme in the group blog theme.
