The GPL only applies to *distribution*. If your client plans on packaging up the website somehow… then worry about it.

“Does that mean that all of the code for this project would have to be GPL licensed and made available for free because we use BuddyPress for social networking? “

no, it does not. only if you actually *release * it. Just having it as part of your website is not releasing your code.

think of it this way – Buddypress is a plugin for WordPress. Anyone who build a site on WordPress itself is also not required to release their code.

(and I will note that GPL doesn’t mean it has to be free either. There’s plenty of for-sale GPL plugins and themes.)

Are they not getting *sent* or are they not getting *recieved*? Becasue those are two separate issues.

Are you the admin getting email notifies? If yes, then you know the mails are getting sent.

If some users are not receiving emails, do they have hotmail or comcast addresses?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

The “My Blogs” list will only show the blog that user has *admin access* on. Not any other blog they happen to be a member of.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

I think you need to realize that the developers of a *different* plugin giving you the brush off has absolutely *nothing* to do with BO development or BP developers.

Put your energy into finding alternatives.

And yes, sometimes projects need a little “kick start” in terms of funding. Some plugin ideas are *huge* and not as easy as non-coders think.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Aren;t you getting a “load more” at the bottom of it? It usually cuts off after a bit anyway.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

put in a link to yoursite.com/members/ ?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Well, there’s the elastic theme, and there’s P2 both of which have front end editing. there’s other front end editing plugins which work after the entry is posted.

Given the admin bar is going in wp 3.1, things are moving in that direction anyway. A bunch of developers are working independently on things like this.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

This isn’t currently possible without some programming work. ie; there’s no settings in the backend to fiddle.

Buddypress manages everything centrally.

WordPress manages *users* globally on the network.

“However members should not be allowed to create sub blogs themselves from their own site “

You can’t do this anyway.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

I see a group here:

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Either they;re getting in via the bbpress signup, or they are using exisitng logins.

Have you got “allow users to add exisiting users” checked in the super Admin -> Options menu? If so, UNcheck it. that’s one way we know they were getting in.

Also – you did nothing to the default multsite signup page, whcih is yoursite.com/wp-signup.php. Change that to a .txt file, then NOBODY can sign up for a blog on the front end.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

“My current theme is supported by buddypress & I’ve installed the template pack in order to resolve this matter.”

If your current theme already supports buddypress, you DO NOT NEED the template pack.

that plugin is *only* used if your theme does *not* have BP support. Likely that’s why you’re getting errors.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Did you create a network? Or is this a single WordPress install?

you have to enable multisite to have extra blogs.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Last I heard on the Thesis camp was they were not interested in BP compatibility and were leaving it to their community members.

And yeah – what mercime said – dump the tables out fo the db and into the second blog.

tho if you’re using multsite, you do not need to do that. Just change what the default Buddypress blog is in wp-config.

Set which blog ID BuddyPress will run on:
`define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, $blog_id );`

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Have you also changed the default signup slug and the link text to get to it? Make sure you nofollow that.

many of them come through via google, right to your signup page.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Yep.

Buddypress does not make the blogs, though. WordPress does with multisite enabled. Buddypress just does the user profiles.

A link to your site would help.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

What you’re looking for is a *custom* solution. If it’s for a company or client project, why not hire one of the many bp devs out there to build it for you?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

@KatieBen what have you tried to fix it? Does the wp-signup.php page work with BP turned off?

Can you give a link to your site so others can look?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Look at the posts above yours: some DID post a patch up above. Did you try it?

did you look at trac to see if a ticket was filed? If not, can you file a ticket?

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

If you wanted to replicate all the BP sections on each blog, you can do this:

Allow BuddyPress to function on multiple blogs of a WPMU installation, not just on one root blog:
`define ( ‘BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG’, true );`

They still have to register at the main site.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Or the devs who have actually started tinkering to have some time to work on it.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Disallowing bots to follow the signup page link (nofollow on the link), changing the default signup slug and adding new profile fields really really does help. And no plugins either.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

Hmm, just a quick though, but if you wanted blog-like content for a group – why not use an actual blog? No point in recreating core WP functionality.

Now, if there was a way to *link* the group blog with the group, that’d be awesome. It may exist, I have no idea,.

[@andrea_r Participant 15 years, 10 months ago]

And it is good to state so, because it also bugs me when someone shows up complaining that it’s not free.

here’s hoping more theme authors jump on the bandwagon and do the needed work to add support for BP. It’s just better for us all then.
