BuddyPress

Hey everyone,

i’ve build something in my spare time the last months, which is now finally open for beta-testing.
the project is called »plazaa«. On plazaa you can rate/review/recommend locations in german cities (5 currently).

plazaa: http://plazaa.de
Profile example: http://plazaa.de/profil/poolie/
A location: http://plazaa.de/koeln/restaurants/italienisch/rosticceria-massimo/

It’s running WPMU and the latest BuddyPress version.
Most of the work was on the templates and of course the functions.php

There are around 10+ plugins in use, like GD Star Rating (Star-Rating), YOURLS (plaz.es url shortener), Search Everything (going to look for other solutions probably), Invite Anyone, SEO for BP, W3 Total Cache ..and some more

I would like to thank all people who contribute a lot of good code in the bp-forums, which helped me a lot (i’m a designer, not really a coder).

Any feedback is appreciated.

ps: don’t create too many fake accounts, thanks
pps: yes, it’s german

@poolie, that’s a quality design! Nice work. Good to see more people not sticking to the default buddypress interface. Plazaa is a complete face lift. I like it *thumbs up*

Impressive! Cant believe its BuddyPress

@poolie – awesome! I feel more like an amateur now

Wow. The site is impressive. Congratulations.

Very nice, like the profile pages layout.

Thanks for making me feel depressed

If @antonrsa and @hnla feel like amateurs or depressed, what`s left for us mortals ?

@poolie your site is an excellent example of the wonderful things that can be made with buddypress. And how far I am of achieving this. Ich mochte dich congratulieren.

thanks a lot guys!
since it’s the first day of the public beta, i still have to debug some stuff tonight.

@el_terko that was almost perfect german, danke

Okay, jetzt weiß ich… dass ich nichts über wordpress+buddypress weiß. ^^ Good work!

@ekine ach komm.. and thanks!

@poolie, habe mich gerade bei platzaa angemeldet. Tolle Seite! Sehr schön! Werde mich da als Düsseldorfer gerne beteiligen und meine Bewertungen und vielleicht ein paar Locations eintragen.

Schön, schön und noch mal, schön! Die erste Buddypress Seite, die ich im Leben wohl benutzen werde…

@Svenl77 vielen dank! würde mich sehr freuen, düsseldorf ist im moment noch ein wenig leer
und auch danke für das tolle seo plugin!

@poolie –

es gefällt mir viel. Sehr gut gemacht.

Was haben sie benützt für den Locations? Sind Sie WordPress Custom Post Types?

@rogercoathup no, they are normal blogposts actually
with wordpress 3 you could use custom post types of course, but i didn’t need them.

Agh. I can’t understand anybody! I need to learn German now. Awesome BuddyPress theme though. I hope you use your skills and creativity to create more.
