Download from Wordpress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Group Forum Extras

A collection of bbPress plugins to bring a little more forum feel to the group forums.

• Signatures (html tags are still limited to: a strong i )
• BBCode Lite (or option for Shortcode)
• Ajaxed Quote

I’m also looking to add the following:

• Report Post to Mod (use notification system to group mods)
• Support Forums (run nongroup forums)
• Best Answer or bb-reputation (Karma)
• Signatures administration to include a admin defined set of html tag or bbcode

Theme Edit is Required to use Ajax Quote

groups/single/forum/topic.php

Before the link:
<a href="#post-<?php bp_the_topic_post_id() ?>" title="<?php _e( 'Permanent link to this post', 'buddypress' ) ?>">#</a>

Please add this action:
<?php do_action( 'bp_forum_extras_topic_links' ) ?>

Also, to include a reply box on all pages instead of the last only, remove this if statement :

<?php if ( bp_get_the_topic_is_last_page() ) : ?>

(don’t forget about the correct <?php endif; ?> )

If you have no need for the BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation plugin here is the function I used to demote the creator and automatically assign an admin and/or mod to the new group.

//if a new group is created - attach an admin, mod, demote
function my_group_autoadd_admin( $args ) {
global $bp;

//args is the group_id
if (!$args)
return;

if (! is_site_admin() )  {

//use this to demote the creator to a mod – assuming the logged in user is creating (you could also pull group->creator_id)
$member = new BP_Groups_Member($bp->loggedin_user->id, $args);
$member->is_admin = 0;
$member->is_mod = 1;
$member->user_title = __( 'Group Mod','buddypress' );
$member->date_modified = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$member->save();

}

//use this to add some user_id (from wp_users->ID) as an admin
$member = new BP_Groups_Member(<insert_your_user_id>, $args);
$member->is_admin = 1;
$member->is_mod = 0;
$member->user_title = __( 'Group Admin', 'buddypress' );
$member->is_confirmed = 1;
$member->date_modified = gmdate( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
$member->save();

//use this to add some user_id (from wp_users->ID) as a mod
$member = new BP_Groups_Member(<insert_your_user_id>,$args);
$member->is_admin = 0;
$member->is_mod = 1;
$member->user_title = __( 'Group Mod', 'buddypress');
$member->is_confirmed = 1;
$member->date_modified = gmdate( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' );
$member->save();

}

add_action('groups_created_group', 'my_group_autoadd_admin', 1, 1);

Download from Wordpress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation

This plugin will restrict group creation and settings to certain WP Capabilities. In addition, this plugin will auto-demote the group creator to group mod to ensure group settings may not be modified after creation. You may also define a group admin and mod that will be auto-assigned all new groups created.

Auto-assigning an admin and/or mod to new groups

In your wp-config.php file – set the following constants and check ‘Auto demote group creator to group mod‘ under the settings page.

define( 'BP_RESTRICTGROUP_AUTOADD_ADMIN_USER_ID', the_database_user_id );

and/or (admin inherits mod – no reason to define the same user_id twice)

define( 'BP_RESTRICTGROUP_AUTOADD_MOD_USER_ID', the_database_user_id );

Where the_database_user_id is the actual integer ID from the wp_users table.

What else could you do with this simple my_is_friend_check function?

How about removing the ability to Reply/Comment on non-friend and non-group activity updates.

See our previous: #BuddyPress hack: disable activity stream comments/favorites for certain types

so in the activity loop for activity-meta comment link, add the following check:

( bp_get_activity_user_id() != 0 && my_is_friend_check( bp_get_activity_user_id() ) )

what about disabling the reply comment for non-member groups?

(bp_get_activity_object_name() == 'groups' && groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_activity_item_id() ) )

So what does my if statement look like for activity-meta commenting?

if ( is_user_logged_in() && bp_activity_can_comment() &&
!my_denied_activity_meta_check( bp_get_activity_type() ) &&
( (bp_get_activity_object_name() == 'groups' && groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_activity_item_id() ) ) ||
( bp_get_activity_user_id() != 0 && my_is_friend_check( bp_get_activity_user_id() ) ) )     ) { ?>
<a href="<?php bp_activity_comment_link() ?>" id="acomment-comment-<?php bp_activity_id() ?>"><?php _e( 'Reply', 'buddypress' ) ?> (<span><?php bp_activity_comment_count() ?></span>)</a>
<?php } ?>

1) Deny all replies for certain activity types (my_denied_activity_meta_check – see previous example)
2) Allow if loggedin user is in the same group as user who made activity updates (groups_is_user_member)
3) Allow if loggedin user is a friend (my_is_friend_check – see previous example)
4*) Allow if a friend posts in a public group in which loggedin user is not a member of

(a core filter would be excellent in this case – especially if a plugin wanted to control the activity meta features.)

…think i am done with my own tweaks to the activity stream. next up members and profile pages.

Please note – these little hacks to the activity stream will increase the number of db queries.

Before (on shared host):
This page generated in 0.864 seconds, using 151 queries.

After (on shared host):
This page generated in 0.853 seconds, using 215 queries.

What else could you do with this simple my_is_friend_check function?

How about removing activity stream postings from non-friends all together (except public groups)

See our previous: #BuddyPress hack: remove new member registration from activity stream


function my_denied_activity_nonfriends( $a, $activities ) {

//if admin we want to know
if ( is_site_admin() )
return $activities;

foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
/* if member of a group – we want the activity even if nonfriend */
if ( $activity->component != 'groups' && $activity->user_id != 0 && !my_is_friend_check($activity->user_id) && !my_is_atme_check($activity->content) ) {

unset( $activities->activities[$key] );

$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;

}
}

/* Renumber the array keys to account for missing items */
$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;

return $activities;
}
add_action('bp_has_activities', 'my_denied_activity_nonfriends', 10, 2 );

Plus one more quick function to check for any atme mentions – maybe a non-friend?


function my_is_atme_check( $content ) {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

if (!$content)
return false;

$pattern = '/[@]+([A-Za-z0-9-_]+)/';
preg_match_all( $pattern, $content, $usernames );

/* Make sure there’s only one instance of each username */
if ( !$usernames = array_unique( $usernames[1] ) )
return false;

if ( in_array( bp_core_get_username( $bp->loggedin_user->id ), $usernames ) )
return true;

return false;
}

Grab this as a plugin from WPMU.org

A quick hack to only display the ‘Send Private Message’ for friends. First we’ll create a simple check function for your myhacks/theme functions.php file:


function my_is_friend_check( $friend_id = false) {
global $bp;

if ( is_site_admin() )
return true;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
return false;

if (!$friend_id) {
$potential_friend_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
} else {
$potential_friend_id = $friend_id;
}

if ( $bp->loggedin_user->id == $potential_friend_id )
return false;

if (friends_check_friendship_status($bp->loggedin_user->id, $potential_friend_id) == 'is_friend')
return true;

return false;
}

Then edit the default theme file: bp-default/members/single/member-header.php and look for the ‘Send Private Message’ check and change it to:

if ( is_user_logged_in() && !bp_is_my_profile() && function_exists( 'bp_send_private_message_link' ) && my_is_friend_check() ) :

Since it was asked (and on the buddypress.org forums). Mute new member activity stream registration (aka, don’t announce your spammers)

add to whatever bp-custom.php or theme functions php and define the filtered bp_has_activities() types

function my_denied_activity_new_member( $a, $activities ) {

//if admin we want to know
if ( is_site_admin() )
return $activities;

foreach ( $activities->activities as $key => $activity ) {
//new_member is the type name (component is 'profile')
if ( $activity->type =='new_member') {
unset( $activities->activities[$key] );

$activities->activity_count = $activities->activity_count-1;
$activities->total_activity_count = $activities->total_activity_count-1;
$activities->pag_num = $activities->pag_num -1;
}
}

/* Renumber the array keys to account for missing items */
$activities_new = array_values( $activities->activities );
$activities->activities = $activities_new;

return $activities;
}
add_action('bp_has_activities','my_denied_activity_new_member', 10, 2 );

Then in your favorite theme (i’m using default) under the activity/index.php file, change up up the  select option

<?php if (is_site_admin() ) : ?>
<option value="new_member"><?php _e( 'Show New Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></option>-->
<?php endif; ?>

I suspect you could take this a little further and check the $activity->date_recorded (ie, display new_member registration after 2 weeks)

or grab a simple plugin

http://code.etiviti.com/php/buddypress/buddypress-remove-newmember-activity.zip

Want to keep the noise ratio down on activity stream commenting? Besides the built-in

Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?:

I don’t see a way to implement additional filters on bp_activity_can_comment() nor is there one setup for favorites. (unless i’m not looking hard enough)

So, a quick and dirty function to block out certain activity_types.

add to whatever myhacks/functions php and define the excluded activity types


function my_denied_activity_meta_check($type) {
return in_array($type, array( 'bp_link_vote', 'friendship_created', 'friendship_accepted', 'new_forum_post', 'new_member') );
}


*we are removing the ability for voted up links, friendships, new forum posts for a group and new member registrations.

Then in your favorite theme (i’m using default) under the activity/entry.php file – add the function to the is_user_logged_in() if statement on the comment link and/or favorite link sections:

!my_denied_activity_meta_check( bp_get_activity_type() )

In this case, no comments or favorites when members add a friendship or votes up a link (from the awesome BuddyPress Links plugin)

I submitted trac tickets for BP 1.3 to include filtering on the two items (hopefully not a dup )

Download from Wordpress Plugin Repo: BuddyPress Sitemap Generator

Based upon GoogleSitemapGenerator by Arne at www.arnebrachhold.de – BuddyPress Sitemap Generator creates a sitemapindex and child maps for each BuddyPress main component.

Sitemap files:

• overall activity
• member listing
• member listing -> groups slug (onlyif data)
• member listing -> friends slug (onlyif data)
• member listing -> profile slug
• member listing -> activity slugs (main, just-me, friends, groups, favorites, mentions)
• group listing -> public and private groups (if forums enabled – forum slug)
• forum topics -> public and private groups only

Does not invoke BP components but rather queries MySQL directly. WP-Cron can be set for valid wordpress intervals and the default is daily.

What to expect:
- no fancy priority
- no options yet besides ping/sitemap location
- limited to 50k urls for each component

Screenshots:

bbPress has a hover link to view a member profile page from the bb-admin users section. I somewhat miss that little feature in Wordpress + BuddyPress 1.2 – so just a quick code snippet to add the link:

function user_row_actions_bp_view($actions, $user_object) {
global $bp;
$actions['view'] = '<a href="' . bp_core_get_user_domain($user_object->ID) . '">' . __('View BP') . '</a>';
return $actions;
}
add_filter('user_row_actions', 'user_row_actions_bp_view', 10, 2);
