@Hysteriux Sorry if my comment assumed you weren’t familiar with open source projects. I apologize that it came across that way. My point was just to highlight that the shortcomings of the website, […]

@Hysteriux I think the challenge your facing isn’t necessarily with BuddyPress itself, but with open source projects in general. Open source means that everything you see here and all of the documentation is […]

Here’s the nerd version of what’s been done: http://trac.buddypress.org/milestone/1.3 You can see the closed tickets of what’s been fixed.

I think Boone or Paul are working on a summary post of the changes coming in 1.3

Did you try the mail-from plugin or all the other solutions to the activation email not sent threads in the forum?

I don’t think that’s a bug. I think I’ve seen the same. The activity for sure isn’t deleted. I’m not sure they’re connected, so it might be hard to remove it.

Starting now!

You can make the groups and thus the forums that anyone can post in as long as they have a login. Playing with it is best.

Each group creates its own forum. So, just create a group for each category and a forum for that group will be created. That should work for you I think.

The first part is simple. Make sure you’re using WPMU (even if you don’t use the extra blog features). Then, there’s a configuration option to restrict registration to certain domains. I haven’t tested the changing the email after the fact, but you’ll probably have to filter something to make it possible for them to change [...]

Thanks for the info. What kind of server and cacheing have you enabled? That’s a lot of blogs to be hosting.

I got you. That makes sense. Which plugin do you use to do it if you don’t mind me asking?

I’d have to look into how to send custom fields to Paypal, but then you could just add it to your child theme in the group-header.php (or hook it if you prefer). Then, just use bp_group_name() or something like that to get the name of the group and put that into the PayPal link as [...]

I’m not exactly sure how they implemented it here, but I think they used the Group API: http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/ Even if they didn’t, you could use it to do basically the same thing.

Almost anything is possible, but creating a simple loop would be 100 times easier. Just importing to the database would be rough for creating groups.
