Hello guys,

I have been using this wonderful system and learning it since a week.But what i am missing badly is end user documentation.I want my users to know how does the system works.Sometimes myself also get confused about the system.

I am still searching for that if there is availability for uploading files within a group by group members.

Please respond to this as i wanted to launch my buddypress based website soon.I am still in a process of integrating bbpress with my system.I think i will soon complete that also.

Regards,

Sam.

File attachment is a new subject and probably needs its own topic but I’ll answer here.

You can attach all the files you want inside of your blogs. You can put them inside of pages or posts.

http://codex.buddypress.org – see that “Edit Page” button at the bottom?

This is a community of users after all, you don’t need to be a coder to contribute.

@chouxpastry2002-

You have asked two different question. I’m not sure which of those you are still looking for an answer.

As Andy stated, since this is an open source project, any documentation that currently exists on how to use BuddyPress or how to develop for BuddyPress can be found in the Codex. The information is growing but incomplete. It is up to the all-volunteer community to contribute to that documentation.

As far as media uploading, this will come with time. There is, however, a wonderful 3rd-party plugin that Manoj Kumar has developed in which you might be interested.

Dear Jeff,

Many thanks for guiding me in the way.But i am lacking in buddypress with only 2 functions. Users and Group file uploads. And integrated forums.

If there exist these facilities i would not have switched to elgg at this moment as a big fan of wordpress and eventually buddypress as well.

Regards,

Sam.
