Hello!

I am going to start a bunch of projects which will run on BuddyPress so I need some features for it to have. I would appreciate anyone helping me here either directing in some direction or guiding me to code the plugin myself.

Features :

#1 Moderation Suite

I need to keep track of each & every word that goes live. (Activities|Post|Forum everything)

Matching words may lead that respective content to put on moderation

#2 Group email feature

The admin should be able to email all the members (possibly limit the sending rate as per hosting)

#3 Invite Friends

People should be able to invite their friends by connecting with their gmail, hotmail etc accounts

A plugin for previous version do exist

#4 Alter Main menu of site

#5 User can select password during signup

#6 Multiple unique identifiers

#7 Reserve usernames

Hi,

#2 already exists in my group activity stream notification plugin

Hi,

But that plugin only emails the stream notification. I want the option to email users as a standalone feature or may be I can adapt from that plugin.

Will have to check it now. Thanks!

1) Moderation suite – look into the various filters – bp-activity-filters.php, bp-forums-filters.php

4) Alter main menu of site – look into bp-core/bp-core-adminbar.php

5) User can select password – already exists

6) Multple unique identifiers – would be a cool plugin. are you thinking of custom profile urls?

7) Reserve usernames – in WPMU you can blacklist usernames from registration, not sure if such a feature exists in single WP.

Shit I wrote a long reply and lost it because I copied something over it in the clipboard

Anyways I will get my hands in BuddyPress soon. I do have the knowledge of the basics of the WordPress APIs (bbPress too) but this is my first day with BuddyPress.

1) I will keep the Moderation suite to the last position in job queue.

4) For main menu, I will have to edit the core file. Right?

5) Didn’t realize. Silly me

6) Just wanted to reserve multiple for myself like “Ashfame” other than the default “admin”

7) I am on WPMU. How can I blacklist certain usernames?

Thanks for the help so far!

Hi there. The plugin also allows admins/mods to email members with important notifications.

This is probably a failure in terms of documentation on my part, sorry

@ashfame:

I recognize you from the bbPress forums, so I know you know your way around WP/bb!

It shouldn’t take long for you to get up to speed with BP.

4) Re: modifying menu bar – you don’t need to hack the core file.

Read this:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/

You can put custom code in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php to override settings and variables.

7) Blacklisting usernames in WPMU – login to the WPMU backend, navigate to “Site Admin > Options”, look for the “Banned Names” field.

There are also some good how-to guides as well:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/

Also read up on the global $bp variable:

https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/the-bp-global/

Hope that brings you up to speed!

Hi,

Is this what I want?

I also noticed a double slash in notifications and wiki tab of a group. Are they intentional or a mistake?

A mistake that I’ve not managed to resolve/had time to sort out. If you have any suggestions I’m all ears

“7) I am on WPMU. How can I blacklist certain usernames?”

Site Admin -> Options. Look for baned usernames.

@D cartwright

I am not in a position to suggest anything with BuddyPress right now

@andrea_r

I can only find “Banned Names”

Does it ban the user creation too or just blogs?

from the list you did, i can tell that other developers already released solutions for each of them, mostly… you will need to look at some others sites before starting coding… you may find good inspiration from others…

@ashfame – “Banned Names” blocks both usernames and blog slugs:

WP.MU has a plugin for #1, I guess but I would prefer to code it myself (and learn along) instead of paying for it.

And #3 has to be ported to 1.2 (I will try myself tomorrow after contacting the original author)

The only thing left is multiple unique identifiers. Any ideas about that?

what would be the usage for your identifiers, because that concept is really vague without details…

I just want myself to be referred by two names

ashfame,

I can not see the bug you have mentioned “double slash in notifications”.

At least I could not find this within testbp.org ?

@erich73

both wiki and notifications are plugins

and testbp.org only runs the default setup of BuddyPress

#1 Moderation Suite

It is on hold

#3 Invite Friends plugin

It is on. I tried contacting the plugin author but unfortunately he is running busy and I need to fix it. Help me fix it here – https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/help-me-fix-invite-friends-plugin

#6 Multiple Unique Identifier

I am still waiting for some help on this one

All others are done
