You are fine to delete them, but user activity streams will be lost.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Use the latest trunk, I believe this was a bug I fixed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Update to the latest and this should be fixed.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

site-wide.css loads on all pages regardless of the theme. It’s only useful if you have a consistent theme for the site. Don’t use it otherwise.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

just use:

bp_loggedin_user_id()

bp_displayed_user_id()

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Test reply, just ignore this please, testing upgrades.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Don’t edit the main files, it’s a bad idea. Use the template tags:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( 'type=friends&amp;user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() . '&amp;max=30' ) ) : ?>

<ul id="activity-list">

<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>

<li class="<?php bp_activity_css_class() ?>">

<?php bp_activity_content() ?>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

<?php endif;?>

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Try to use the passthrough functions:

xprofile_get_field_data( $field_name, $user_id );

xprofile_set_field_data( $field_name, $user_id, $value );

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Follow the upgrade instructions:

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

In the latest trunk (and RC2 coming out soon) you can use these template tags to render activity feeds:

<?php if ( bp_has_activities( 'type=personal&amp;max=30' ) ) : ?>

<ul id="activity-list">

<?php while ( bp_activities() ) : bp_the_activity(); ?>

<li class="<?php bp_activity_css_class() ?>">

<?php bp_activity_content() ?>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

<?php endif;?>

‘type’ can be personal, sitewide, or friends. You can also pass a ‘user_id’ value if you wish. Otherwise it will use the ‘displayed_user’ id.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

I did this on this site, and like this:

function register_user_as_contributor($username) {

global $bp, $wpdb;



$user_id = bp_core_get_userid_from_user_login( $username );



if ( !$user_id )

return false;



$role = maybe_unserialize( get_usermeta( $user_id, $wpdb->base_prefix . '1_capabilities' ) );



if ( is_array($role) )

$role = $role[0];



if ( !$role || '' == $role || 'subscriber' == $role ) {

$role['contributor'] = 1;



update_usermeta( $user_id, $wpdb->base_prefix . '1_capabilities', $role );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'primary_blog', 1 );

update_usermeta( $user_id, 'source_domain', 'buddypress.org' );

}

}

add_action( 'wp_login', 'register_user_as_contributor' );

I’m sure there is another action you can use so it doesn’t run on every login, but this works.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Gpo1: Yes, that’s the reason for waiting on MU 2.7.1.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

These are the supported languages:

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 6 months ago]

Having thought about it more – my vote would be another blog on this site.

For a few reasons:

1. People can use the same login, and therefore comment without being spammed or moderated.

2. We can promote regular BuddyPress community members to \”snippit creator\” status.

3. We can track all the snippets in activity streams.

4. We get nice buddypress.org permalinks for every snippet.

5. RSS.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

RC-2 will come out as soon as 2.7.1 is released. I’ll release it via the automatic plugin download feature built into WordPress – as well as a zip.

As long as there are no major problems found (none for a while in trac) I’ll update to 1.0, and that will then test the auto-update procedure.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

Upgrade to the latest trunk, or wait until RC2 comes out, and you will get the nice titles.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

You must include the register.php file in your theme if you want it to point to /register/, copy it from the default home theme.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

If you’ve added a “last name” field, then just add instructions for the field to say “Only enter the first letter of your last name”. Simple as that isn’t it?

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

This has been fixed in a recent build of 2.7 branch of WPMU.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

That is exactly what usermeta is for. You should take a look at the WordPress codex for this sort of thing, it will help you a great deal.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

Pretty mucH everything in that article has been addressed in RC2. Not really relevant anymore. Closing this because its just one guys opinion and we don’t need to start a heated discussion on things that are now old news.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

Follow these instructions, you will need to update WPMU too.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

If you use the latest trunk it will work fine.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

256mb ram is not a lot – but it will probably still work ok.

[@apeatling Keymaster 17 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks Robert, I have updated the instructions.
