Ok thanks, Stas. That’s what I had anticipated and don’t have any philosophical problems with your choice. I have a very large installation and have hundreds of different classes, so the bibliography might get rather long.
For what it is worth, I would love this feature as well. I would like to replace a Listserv-based community discussion with the much more modern and fully featured BP groups. My hope for this plugin would be that sending an e-mail to the appropriate listening address would create a topic based on the message subject and set the topic author based on the From address (associating it with the proper BP user/group member), and replies to that message could become responses within the topic thread. Does that seem possible?
Thanks. I’m on WP3.1 and BP 1.2.8. I’ve been using WPMU since 2.4 or so and have BP activated on Blog ID 1. I believe the directory structure I described above is (or was) the standard path for WPMU blog-specific content upload folders. Thanks for the heads up on BPMH 1.2.1. If I could figure out how to adequately convey a bow and flourish across the Internet, I would.
that folder structure should be `wp-content/blog.dir//files`, Anyway, thanks again for the help and the awesome work on your plugin. It is working perfectly and I am excited to hear the feedback from my users.
I got it! When I upload pictures and other media to blogs, it goes into a wp-content/blog.dir//files. I think that’s the default folder structure for WPMU. I took a look inside of the buddypress blog’s files directory and saw the bpmh-widgets folder just begging me to put stuff into it!
Thanks for the fast reply, @imath. I think there must still be a step missing. I’ve created uploads/bpmh-widgets in wp-content and copied the zip-widgets *.zip files there. I unzipped them and even left the zip files there, just in case. It still appears that no widgets are active and trying to activate them, of course, brings up the FTP connection form.
Is there a database flag that gets set when a widget is activated?
