This looks great @cometchat! Could you please tell me something about the scalabity of the product? How much resources does it take, and are there site who have it set up to deal with thousands of users? Thanks in advance
You can use the following code to create navigation links:
etc
You can build the links by using the $userlink tag + adding the correct urls
good luckps: How can I display code properly in the new forums?
This is better! Well done Boris
Great.. Looking forward to it
1) This is indeed something that only comes with WPMU.. But WordPress 3.0 is almost ready and multi-networks (read=user blogs) are a option in 3.0.. So you might enable this feature for your community as soon as WP 3.0 is released.
2) You can add youtube videos into the activity stream by using the oEmbed Plugin created by Ray. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/. Simply copy and paste the URL to the video into an Status Update, Reply or Blog Comment, and it’s gets embedded into the stream. Awesome!
3) Currently you have two options for this:
keep an eye on this topic: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-album-new-features-requests-and-discussion. It’s an album plugin which is shaping up nicely and offers albums for your users.
or check out http://www.buddydev.com which offers BP-Gallery. A media plugin which allows the creation of video, pictures and audio galleries. It’s currently almost in it’s final stages, but if you would like to use it you need to have a paid subscription.
I hope you enjoy BuddyPress
Great plugin, and just what I was looking for! I only have one suggestion which I would really like to see:
Allow the member to be subscribed to a different MailChimp list based on selection of a certain signup field.
For example..
On Signup:
Where are you from?
(dropdown selection box) “Netherlands”
After signup the user get’s added to my MailChimp list: Netherlands. This allows me to target all my users at once or target only a certain List of my entire userbase. Since I’m dealing with different languages it’s an important feature for my community. This can be achieved with the MailChimp API: http://www.mailchimp.com/api/. Not sure how much time this feature would cost, but I’m happy to pay something for it.. If others are interested in this as well, post it here please
Just signed up for your site Boris, looks promising! Some feedback:
The header is too big
.. It’s cool as a frontpage introduction, but after while the scrolling starts to be a pain.. A good solution would be:a: only use the header on the front page and on other pages cut of 285px (I measured it
) so you’ll only see the logo and the sign at the rightb: make some fancy jquery goodness which allows you to fold in the header to a smaller size.. Check out this site who does this: http://cureuphoria.com/
The rest of the site looks good, no big problems there.. It might be cool to add the BP related stuff to the menu as well, but I’m not sure if that’s easy to do with the sprites menu you’re using at the moment
Not to be rude or anything Aaron.. but this is the first time you’ve been here and imo it for one reason only: Promotion and SEO purposes.. Google for: Ning Migration BuddyPress and this is the #1 hit.. Convenient
If you were around daily it would not be strange, but I’ve never seen you around until there was a chance to make some money..
No you can’t donate to the project itself.. BUT you can of course donate to plugin developers, and by doing this you’re keeping the BP development community healthy
You can always install bp later when you have your site up and running, so you can do both. But imo its better to use buddypress from the start because it soul purpose is to built a community with and its a great way to let your members and blog owners interact.. So I include it from the start
Haha yeah I’m also kinda combining both approaches, and approaching good developer personally
.. But it’s always good to show your interest to see something developed in public
Is there anyone who would like to develop this for me? I’m willing to spend some money on this feature
After you activate the plugin you get a white screen.. then activate the lines you just uncommented/removed again.. then it should be activated and working
That’s great news Sven! I’m really looking forward to it.. this version works, but it’s simply a mod to get it running on 1.2, and seriously lacks in CSS/Design/1.2+ features we’ve come to expect
Ok.. I failed to follow the instructions:
1: Before activating the plugin, comment out in the bp-events.php (plugin directory):
* 21-24 row (require..)
2: Activate the plugin
3: You receive the error message You receive the error message
4: Uncomment the lines of paragraph 1, and refresh the page
Now it does work! But I get page not found errors for my child theme.. I’ll look into that
edit: that problem is now solved.. don’t know why it did not work earlier but I’ve moved the “events” folder to both the default theme and my child theme root, and it appears to work.. It still requires a lot of work, but it’s something!
