BP Group Documents vs Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker

BP Group Documents creates a page within each BuddyPress group to upload and any type of file or document. This allows members of BuddyPress groups to upload and store files and documents that are relevant to the group. Documents can be edited and deleted either by the document owner or by the group administrator. Categories can be used to organize documents. Activity is logged in the main activity stream, and is also tied to the user and group activity streams. The site administrator can set filters on file extensions, set display options. Group members and moderators can receive email notifications at their option. The group administrator can decide if all members or only admins/moderators can upload documents (Since v0.5) User verification for Downloads: when a document is downloaded, a redirect page checks is the user is member of the group (in case of a private or hidden groups) and only then the user can download the file.(Since v0.5) For private networks, see the FAQ “I have a members only network. How to disable file download for non members?” . 4 Widgets: “User’s groups documents”, “Recent Uploads” , “Popular Downloads”, can be used to show activity at a glance. If the theme support different sidebars for group pages, the BP_Group_Documents_CurrentGroup_Widget can be used to show current group’s documents. Contributions by Lena Stergatou, with additional bug fixes and improvements by Keeble Smith (http://keeblesmith.com) and Anton Andreasson work for BP 1.7. Original plugin author was Peter Anselmo. PLEASE: If you have any issues or it doesn’t work for you, please report in support forum. It doesn’t help anyone to mark “broken” without asking around. Thanks!

If there is a user (or a bot) that signed up at your site this user can start to send messages to every other user. I had some negative experiences with this and so I wrote a module that should help to block such a spam. Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker introduces some restrictions to your users: New users can send messages only 24h after their registration, so you’ll have time if bot registrations have to be removed manually (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_newMembersWaitingPeriod’) Their are also some more restrictions for mass mailings (mails that are sent to “friends” of the contact list are not included in this calculation): Users can send 6 messages maximum in 5 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_5m’) Users can send 10 messages maximum in 10 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_10m’) Users can send 20 messages maximum in 30 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_30m’) Users can send 30 messages maximum in 60 minutes (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_60m’) Users can send 35 messages maximum in 12 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_12h’) Users can send 45 messages maximum in 24 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_24h’) Users can send 50 messages maximum in 48 hours (modify this value using filter ‘buddypress_messages_spamblocker_48h’) Users with the capability “edit_users” (admins etc.) have no restrictions for outgoing messages Install, activate, and it will work. More about me and my plugins Since the year 1999 I do administration, customizing and programming for several forums, communities and social networks. In the year 2013 I switched from another PHP framework to WordPress. Because not all plugins I’d like to have exist already I wrote some own plugins and I think I’ll continue to do so. If you have the scope at forums or social networks my other modules might also be interesting for you. Just take a look at my WordPress Profile to see all my Plugins. Use them and if my work helps you to save time, earn money or just makes you happy feel free to donate – Thanks. The donation link can be found at the right sidebar next to this text.
