First of all, thank you for this plugin, as it takes the simple standard BuddyPress (BP) messages UI to a higher level (Buddyx Theme).
However, regarding the BuddyPress integration, it doesn’t seem to work quite correctly:

BUDDYPRESS GROUPS:
[x] Enable Messages
[x] Enable File Uploading
[x] Combined View
[x] Mobile View
[x] Push Notifications

All users have identical WP roles. In this respect, BP group membership is an easy way to handle chats about all group members.

My problem: As soon as I, as the administrator of a (public or private) BP group, set ‘Group Messages’ to ‘Disabled’ in the group settings, I can still have ‘chats’ with all other group members as a normal group member. Only the group symbol changes into the avatars of the individual users. Restricting access via roles is not possible because all users in all groups have the same roles.

As an alternative, I could set up chat rooms and restrict access to the pages, but then the nice BP integration would be unnecessary.

As I understand it, the plugin deviates from the BP specifications at this point – or am I missing something here?

Best regards

Hi there!

The plugin does not delete conversation and messages automatically after you disabling group chat in Group Settings or Plugin settings, they just start to work as regular conversations with multiple participants.

If you need to delete the conversation, you need to do that, manually, by going to the conversation as admin and press Erase conversation button.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately we misunderstand each other. I see that BM keeps the message data in its own tables, therefore it would be interesting to know how the plugin interacts with default BP group message settings.

I’m not concerned about individual users’ message data, but ‘the way’ they can chat with each other. Essentially, my question is whether it is possible to restrict chats to individual BuddPress groups – without having to work with different wp-roles?

Thank you very much!

Hi there!

I think you are messing something about BuddyPress groups functionality.

How does Group Messages works in BuddyPress without Better Messages?
How BuddyPress Groups can be comparable with user roles?

If you need to customize the restrictions, then you can use PHP to customize who can write to each other, using this filters:

Thanks!
