Hi Emad,

You could use this plugin to make those groups hold other groups, but not to enforce anything on registration. I believe there is a plugin out there that will help with that, but I’m not sure.

Hi solhuebner –

There’s not a simple way to do this, but you can make it work by combining two filters.

You can use the bp_group_hierarchy_toplevel_subgroup_permissions filter to add more permission options.

Then you can implement a check for that permission using the filter bp_group_hierarchy_enforce_subgroup_permission_[permission name]. Return true if the user is allowed to create a group, and false otherwise.

Hi Barn2Media –

Yes, you can use this plugin to restructure your groups. You may want to use my BP Group Organizer plugin to make that task MUCH easier.

Thanks for the question!

Hi papabeers –

Thanks for reporting this issue! That line will be removed in the next release.

Just out of curiosity, which browser is hiding the rest of the screen? It looks OK for me in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. This will be good info in case someone else encounters this problem.

Hi maddogmcewan –

Let me look into this and see if I can reproduce the issue.

What versions of BP / this plugin are you running? Is this just when creating a subgroup or when creating any group?

Hi matbeuz –

Can you tell me the name of the plugin folder in your install? Is it bbpress-post-topics or is it something else?

Thanks!

– David

Hi QTipPoker –

There isn’t currently a user interface for choosing whether pages will automatically have topics created. In the meantime, you can remove the topic for any post or page using the Discussion metabox on the post/page editor screen.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi ozgurpoplat –

Maybe it’s a descendant selector issue? What is the name of your theme and can you provide a link? If it’s available to try, I’d be happy to set up a test site to see what’s going on.

– David

@ryanssealey –

So you want the topic link to go to the forum instead of the topic itself? Or do you want to add a link to the forum in addition to the topic link?

I’m sure you could set this up in a modified comments-bbpress-link.php template, but I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. I’d be happy to provide more info if you’ve got details. ??

– David

Haha glad to hear that’s all it was. Happy holidays!

Hi Jeffrey –

What are the subgroup permissions for your existing groups? Are the affected users members of your existing groups?

The Create Group button should only be hidden when the current user has nowhere to place a group. It sounds like the affected users don’t have permission to create subgroups either.

– David

Hi David-

Yep that’s what I had in mind. ?? Glad we could resolve this issue, and to hear the same hook works for both cases.

Please let me know if you run into anything else!

Hi dcavins –

At what point in WP’s loading process are you hooking map_meta_cap? I put your test function in the theme’s functions.php file and it loaded WAY before BuddyPress was ready. Engaging that filter only after bp_init has fired may resolve that issue.

– David

Nevermind they are the same function. I hoped you had found something that would resolve all of this. ??

I’ll keep looking. Can you provide some more context for your map_meta_cap call? Is it on your AJAX request or on a regular page?

– David

Hi dcavins –

I think the issue with map_meta_cap may have a simple resolution. The group_hierarchy_override_current_action function is supposed to unhook itself after it runs during the initial request. But it looks like I’ve called remove_action instead of remove_filter so that probably isn’t happening.

bp_is_current_action should be idempotent and safe to call once the group is selected on page load, and this is probably why it’s not working right. I’ll get a fix in the development version right away. This is distinct from the admin-ajax.php issue, right?

Thanks for your help troubleshooting this!
