Any update on why the Private Forum plugin will revert to ‘Open For All.’
I consider this a large issue and can not believe bbpress does not have a proper configuration for this. Nevertheless, I am willing to wait and appreciate the effort going into bbpress. If I knew php I would try and fix this myself.
I’m in the same boat as you, mciarlo. Every time I make a small change at the admin panel, I have to remember to go back to the Private Forums menu and change all the forums back to private. I’ve let it slip a few times…
I finally made a custom “private forum” (note the single noun) plugin:
define('FORO_STAFF', 22);
add_filter('get_posts_where', 'ryuuko_staff_where_posts');
function ryuuko_staff_where_posts($where) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
//var_dump($where);
$where .= " AND p.forum_id <> '" . FORO_STAFF . "' ";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter('get_topics_where', 'ryuuko_staff_where_topics');
function ryuuko_staff_where_topics($where) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
$where .= " AND t.forum_id <> '" . FORO_STAFF . "' ";
}
return $where;
}
add_filter('get_forums', 'ryuuko_staff_forums');
function ryuuko_staff_forums($forums) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
$where .= " AND t.forum_id <> '" . FORO_STAFF . "' ";
$forum_key = -1;
foreach ($forums as $key => $forum)
if (intval($forum->forum_id) == FORO_STAFF) {
$forum_key = $key;
break;
}
unset($forums[$key]);
}
return $forums;
}
add_action('bb_forum.php_pre_db', 'ryuuko_forum_redirect');
function ryuuko_forum_redirect($forum_id) {
if (!bb_is_user_logged_in() || !bb_current_user_can('moderate')) {
if ($forum_id == FORO_STAFF) bb_die("No puedes ver esto!");
}
}
Maybe it’s useful for someone. The constant FORO STAFF is the id for the private forum. In this case, only users with the ‘moderate’ capability can see the forum.
