[Plugin: BuddyPress Restrict Group Creation] how does this work with forums?

What restrict group wp-admin options do you have set now?

also what wp/bp versions

wp 3.0.1
bp 1.2.6
your plugin 0.2.2

just deactivated your plugin and tried creating a group. looks like this: https://screencast.com/t/uYIUE0r5WAu

still nothing about forums? but they are activated and working?
did I make a mistake when installing BuddyPress?

The “Enable discussion forum” checkbox is under step 2 for group creation process

The Restrict Group Creation plugin will remove certain components within step 2.

So under wp-admin -> buddypress -> restrict group page:

Restrict Group Creation
– Roles and Capabilities

Create group capability – “some wp_cap/role you define”
Create group forum capability – “some wp_cap/role you define”
Create private group capability – “some wp_cap/role you define”
Create hidden group capability – “some wp_cap/role you define”

So if you leave Create group forum capability blank, then “Enable discussion forum” checkbox is removed from step 2 of the group creation process. Same with private and hidden options.

Otherwise you may enter the same wp_role/cap for all or select a higher wp_cap/role for those. (ie, i have subscriber (member) for creating a group and edit_posts (author) for all others)

This plugin is coded to allow the super(site)_admin to bypass all options.

ok, it seems some other plugin was interfering. I have disabled a few plugins and now I see the: create forum checkbox!

The rest, I guess is working as desired ??
There was no doubt about how to use your plugin its just that even without your plugin I couldn’t find the forum checkbox…

thanks mate

which plugin was it? maybe something i can check and work around.

(though i updated the plugin today – nothing related to this matter)

I don’t know which one. I am new to BP so I am currently testing a lot of plugins to see how they work together and which ones are exclusive, which ones offer similar/same functionality.
If I ever notice which one is the problematic one I’ll make sure to let you know.
