BuddyPress Groups Extras

BuddyPress Groups doesn’t have much-predefined content inside. Forums and activities are created (or not) by users. But most of the time group creators (aka administrators) have much more to say or explain to other members of the community. BuddyPress Groups Extras will give the ability to them to create extra content. General Choose groups you want to allow custom fields and pages. Define who will have access to managing fields or pages in groups (groups admins or site admins or both). Create a predefined Set of Fields that can be imported to all groups on a site OR can be imported on a per-group basis. Tweak various options, like enabling Rich Editor. Drag-n-drop groups nav menu items as you wish (Fields and Pages can be your new group front page!). Custom Group Fields Create custom fields using various types (radios, checkboxes, dropdown select, textarea, and text). Edit fields data on Edit Group Details page in Group Admin area. Display/hide page, where all groups fields will be displayed (and rename it too). Reorder fields. Custom Group Pages Create group pages (for group FAQ or wiki, or events, or descriptions or whatever you want). Edit page data in the Group Admin area using WordPress RichEditor (with embedding content that WordPress supports!). Display/hide page, where all group pages will be displayed (and rename it too). Reorder pages. Make your groups full of possibilities!

Buddypress Messages Spam Blocker

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.
