Re: Buddypress for Dummies – is it worth it, or is the best place to learn online?
@r-a-y sorry for the incorrect reference on wmpu.org
Good point. Most of those concepts I’m comfortable with.
@stwc
a) Good idea to have a localhost setup! That might work well if users know how to set it up. I can do that this weekend.
b) I’ll check that out. I’ve noticed a lot of learning is just trial and error and it’s an extremely well organized and well written plugin. Some sites hide their files so others can’t see it, but if available, it is fun to see how other sites customize their site.
c) Plugins on a localhost would be fast and easy to add/drop/modify too.
d) I’ve been extremely impressed with the feedback in the forums. Most people who post clear questions/topics are able to get answers within an hour or a day or two which is a major plus.
I guess I’m in the same spot. I can modify my themes a bit, move stuff around, but I’m not comfortable with the PHP or programming aspect of the site. Having a testbp site of your own is a great low-risk learning tool and a lot of fun.
Thank you both. The forums have a wealth of information.
