What It Does

BP Group Documents creates a page within each BuddyPress group to upload and any type of file or document. This allows members of BuddyPress groups to upload and store files and documents that are relevant to the group.

Documents can be edited and deleted either by the document owner or by the group administrator. Categories can be used to organize documents. Activity is logged in the main activity stream, and is also tied to the user and group activity streams. The site administrator can set filters on file extensions and set display options.

Group members and moderators can receive email notifications at their option. The group administrator can decide if all members or only admins/moderators can upload documents. User verification for downloads checks if the user is a member of the group before allowing a download.

Four widgets are available to show activity at a glance, including user’s groups documents, recent uploads, and popular downloads. If the theme supports different sidebars for group pages, a widget can be used to show the current group’s documents.

FAQ

If you run a windows server and you get errors about mb_convert_case function which is a default php function (see http://php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-case.php), you must uncomment the line with php_mbstring.dll in your php.ini.

Add the following function into your /wp-content/wp-plugins/bp-custom.php file

/*  * Download file only in the user is logged in  */  function bp_only_logged_in_can_download( $error ) { // If we have a only logged-in users site     if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {     $error = array(         'message' => esc_html__( 'You must log in to access the page you requested.', 'bp-group-documents' ),         'redirect' => bp_root_url()     );     }     return $error; }  add_filter( 'bp_group_documents_download_access', 'bp_only_logged_in_can_download' );
