Forum link for group forums

[derricksmith01]

I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this and it is my first contribution to this project so go easy on me. I'm using the group forums component of bbpress and don't want to show the Forum link for users that are not members of the group.

I modified the maybe_unset_forum_menu() function in includes/extend/groups.php to not display the link for users that are not logged in.

public function maybe_unset_forum_menu() {

		// Bail if not viewing a single group
		if ( ! bp_is_group() )
			return;

		// Are forums enabled for this group?
		$checked = bp_get_new_group_enable_forum() || groups_get_groupmeta( bp_get_new_group_id(), 'forum_id' );
		
		// Is user a group member?
		if (!groups_is_user_member( bp_displayed_user_id(), bp_get_group_id() )) $checked = false;

		// Tweak the nav item variable based on if group has forum or not
		$this->enable_nav_item = (bool) $checked;
	}

Can this be added as an enhancement?

The following line seems to work better.

if (groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_group_id()) && !is_admin()) $checked = 0;

Thanks for the ticket.

We don't explicitly want to hide the forum menu for public BuddyPress groups, these groups are publicly accessible and the forums should be also.

If you want to hide BuddyPress group content including forums for users not logged in you should use either private or hidden groups.

Closing as wontfix.
