?? Am I able to upload a screenshot somehow?
Cheers
Jamie

:))) Apologies for my explanation!!

Immediately below the editor, where they’ve added their post,

Forum:

— No Forum — v

…where you select the Forum you want to post to ??
Thank you so much again
Jamie

?? I mean we’re using the framework of the Forum concept as a method of our keeping a journal – with a buddy alongside them…
Jamie

Thank you so much :)))
Absolutely yes re ftp (although I way prefer working over ssh, so don’t tend to use ftp if I can avoid it). Certainly am using a child theme, and also have my own custom plugin where I chuck code snippets.
Yours with utterly grateful thanks again
Jamie

Bro
Me again!
??
So, we’re sneakily using the Forum notion for those who are accessing support, to Journal (with a journal buddy). One thing which is causing some strife is the drop-down where the user selects the forum. They keep missing this, and not understanding the error message….
Unless they are members of our team, they only have one forum (‘Their’ journal). I’m just wondering if there’s any way to default that to their ‘journal’ if that’s the only ‘journal’ (forum) that they belong to?
…A long shot, I know…!
Thank you again, Jamie

Legend! Thank you – works perfectly!
Ae, the other question was more a note to myself to track down where I’d seen your posting on how to add/remove a user to a group…:)

Jamie :))

Sorry, two more requests while I have you… then I’ll leave you alone!
…and for my apologies for being so high-maintenance… Feel free to say, ‘Enough!’ this point
….and for my php ignorance…
But if possible, please could you very kindly give me a line to add to the script to return group number?
I’ll need to add a hook to add and remove users from groups down the track, but I think you’ve written on this elsewhere, eh.
Very gratefully,
Jamie

Haha!! I FULLY relate!
Php has always been dark magic to me, though. One day I should get over that and get to grips with it.
It’s kinda cool when that work of yours saves lives. That’s precisely what it’ll be doing in this case.
Respect.
Jamie :))

You are GOLD.
Thank you – thank you; this is all working beautifully.
I’m so grateful.
I examined, I think, every single suitable plugin combo which would achieve this specific scenario. Yours is the only one.
Much respect, Jamie

Kia ora Robin
Ohhhhh YAY!
It works, BEAUTIFULLY.
Utterly cool.
You’re a genius, mate!

I’m wondering what’s going to happen with the WP User edit function when, in the future, there are potentially hundreds of groups to select from. Do you think it might barf when it reaches a large size?

Also, quick ask. Does Private Groups mind if two Groups have the same name? That’s bound to happen when we have multiple users with the same name, eh.

I was wondering if you might be able to add a line to your code which adds the user_ud to the Forum (I’m not quite sure what you call this part, but when you create a new forum from the backend, there’s the text section where you can add some narrative, just below the name of the Forum…. If it were possible to dump the user_id there, then when the situation happens that we have multiple forums and groups with the same name, we’ll be able to figure which one relates to which user! Possible?

Thank you again… so very very much
Jamie

You are a LEGEND.

Thank you so much for going to all this trouble – means so much to me. Seriously.

So, would you see there being a problem with this simply being automatically called immediately after a new user is created?

All our new users are entered one at a time, via the API, so, for us, the situation would never arise that two users would be created in such close proximity to create an issue.

We call the private group the user’s fullname (DaveDobbyn) and we call the Forum:
Username’s Journal (DaveD’s Journal).

Very very gratefully

Jamie

Yay, downloaded the update and donated.
Look forward very much to your help with creating private group / journal / joining users ??
With thanks,
Jamie

Thanks again for looking into this possibility. It’s taking a bit to keep up with all our signups at the moment… which leads me also just to double-check; there’s not a limit on how many private groups/forums that can be created, is there?!

Gratefully, Jamie

Seriously, thank you :))

Maaaaaan, thank you so much for your incredibly incredibly cool and swift response… incredible…:)) Will hit up that other link.

At the moment, I use a hook to create user. In an ideal world, I’d create a private group, create a forum within that group; change the forum to ‘private’ and then join the new user to it. At the moment, I’m doing all those steps manually, and (a) it’s a heap of admin I could really do without(!), and (b) sooner or later, I (or another one of our volunteer team) will stuff up a step, and someone confidentail journaling will be exposed, arghh!

Mate, if that were possible…. it would be beyond cool…

Thank you again, so kind of you…

Jamie
