BuddyPress.org

@firetag I like the idea of Group Tags (plugin already available) AND Group Types (needed). I also like @pcwriter’s suggestion of having a drop-down with group types when members create groups. The groups types should be general, high-level categories. For example, if you look at BuddyPress.org’s Groups, you’ll see that some are labeled “Supp…[Read more]

Wish there was a plugin for this. I think a lot of people would use it. Be nice if the star ratings showed up in the list of active groups as well.

@andrea_r the thought just occurred to me: How would BP plugins work in this setup? I’d like to see plugins like @MrMaz‘s BP-Links keep sub-domain activity separate as well.

@r-a-y I’ve been MIA from this site for about a week. I just wanted to say THANKS for posting this!

Aside: This morning I came up with the idea to create a server script that would update all the multiple wpmu installs to match the root’s files/folders/plugins whenever there’s an upgrade. Of course, the script would ignore the uploads folder and wp-config.php file. It’s an option, but I want to see what Andrea_r and friends […]

Thanks @mercime @vee_bee! I’m now following the the thread Andrea_r posted related to this:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/multiple-budypress-networks-one-install/

Any solution that comes from the discussion there should fit the bill nicely.

@andrea_r I’m following this thread with great interest. I’m the guy @vee_bee referred to with a similar query/setup as being discussed here. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/single-login-with-multiple-bp-sub-domain-installs-is-it-possible/ Brief recap from my earlier post Example: petlovers.com – d…[Read more]

Sounds good @r-a-y. I agree the display name should still appear in the profile page along with the @username.

@dwenaus another option for plugin development would be to create a project on http://GitHub.com. There’s a handful of BP plugins up there already and GitHub can provide a DONATION widget powered by http://Pledgie.com. Example project with the donation widget: http://github.com/gmate/gmate Personally, I’d rather see a leader take charge of a…[Read more]

@rebeccageiger I checked out your screencast. To edit the style.css file (not folder) through your cPanel File Manager you’ll have to click on the HTML or Code Editor buttons at the top. That should show you a blank file that you can cut ‘n paste the code you wish to add. After that follow @r-a-y‘s instructions to […]

Agree with both statements above. The @mention process isn’t intuitive for a newbie when a member’s display name is different than their username. Perfect example above… Andrea is the display name, but to @mention her I would have to use @catagirl (found by clicking through or hovering over her member name link).

Interesting idea. I was thinking the same thing. Why should a group only have one forum. Why not sub-forums as well?

@stwc we’re on the same page. This is exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this morning. I guess we’re supposed to start with “BuddyPress Skeleton Component” and learn how to extend BuddyPress by creating our own plugins to add this kind of functionality. I just wish there was an online resource […]

I’m researching the same thing. Found this thread on the topic as well:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/profile-field-setup-for-groups/

No easy solution so far, but an outdated plugin has turned up.

@firetag I’m interested in seeing how you did it. How are you planning to filter the group types for browsing on your site?
