@nuprn1 Rich, I’m wondering if you might be able to craft a plugin for sticky activity stream items based on the same technique you used for floating updated items back to the top. I don’t know how these things work under the hood but it seems like you could make an activity sticky by updating the create time everytime somebody submits a new…[Read more]

  that method might work – (or use the theme hook above the activity loop and call out specific activity ids). i wouldn’t have time for a few weeks but would be a useful plugin

There sure ought to be. It’d be a great feature for both user update streams and groups. Maybe using the “float to the top” method that has been used to re-highlight commented on activity items
Matt Edminster posted on the forum topic Plugin Idea: BP Group Pages – please give feedback and support in the group Creating & Extending: 14 years, 1 month ago

@dwenaus If you are serious about pursuing this project, please let me know. This would be a great help in the development of a project I am working on and I would happily contribute some seed money – probably 50 dollars. In fact, if you’re committed to going for it, send me your PayPal info and […]

That’s actually a very helpful explanation Jeff. What it means for me is that any bp component that I activate (minus groups) will be available to anyone on the bp network. This is important since our site is built on a distinction between “official” and “community” content. That means that if I want RBAC control over content creation, I ought to…[Read more]

  That is correct. As it currently stands, BuddyPress does not offer any way to provide RBAC. If BP ever integrates roles into its core, then that could be used to turn my BuddyPress Privacy Component into a full-fledged RBAC. Until that happens, there is no practical way to do it.

@jeffsayre Wondering if your privacy plugin will address content creation permissions as well? Really looking forward to what you’ve come up with.
- Jeff Sayre replied 14 years, 1 month ago
  
  I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking as anything created in BuddyPress is technically user-generated content. The BuddyPress Privacy Component (BPPC) offers users privacy control of BuddyPress specific content–in other words content unique to BP’s control.
  
  However, I assume you’re referring to what is generally termed Role-based Access Control…[Read more]

Matt Edminster posted on the forum topic Multiple user types – possible? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 1 month ago

@djpaul You once mentioned having a proprietary solution for user lists using xprofile fields. In redesigning my organization’s website I need to 1. display certain users (organization members in various departments) in a directory and 2. limit certain kinds of content creation to these lists (group creation only for organization members). We…[Read more]

@dwenaus Along the same lines as the “Announce Only Group”, I’ve wondered if there is a way to make a group where – like Announce Only – admins and mods produce content but members are only able to respond. Similarly, does bp have the capability to allow for non-members to comment on activity or forum items? If so, I could envision a “welcome”…[Read more]

  About the first part, yes it is possible to just prevent people from posting new topics, but allow them to reply. if you know a bit of php you could probably figure it out yourself, otherwise I can do it for $100 to $150. About the second part, I’m not sure. Why not just make it a Welcome blog and use the comments. my email is deryk@bluemandala.com

Thanks fellas … I’ll see what I can put together.

@sbrajesh I’d love to continue using your technique for using activity as a wire/wall but there’s one major flaw. I notice that when I make an update to some one else’s wire, my message become my new most recent status update. It looks as if this site has found a way around that problem. Any idea how to accomplish this? I think this approach beats…[Read more]

@travel-junkie Boris, will you be releasing your joblistings as a plugin anytime soon? I’m desperately in need of a job board system that integrates well with buddypress groups. There are some tools out there but nothing that really hits the mark. Yours looked like a good one.

  I have just released an events plugin and have started work again on the jobboard plugin. I have made it compatible with BP 1.2.5.2 (well, so far 🙂 It still needs testing, though. I will upload the latest version soon to a testsite, so people can help make it ready for release soon.

Is there a conditional function that checks to see whether the given page is a buddypress page of any kind? I need this for two applications. In the first case, I want my top level navigation link “Communities” to use the css class “active” as long as a buddypress page of any kind is active. […]

Also just checked on the buddypress registration page and – since this is a replacement for the wp registration page – there’s no sign of the ST/FC account link buttons. ST/FC seems like such a complete system, some one ought to see if they can get it to port over to buddypress use. That’d be […]

I fished the following two lines out of the Simple Facebook/Twitter Connect plugins (login scripts) in order to make account linking available from within a Buddypress profile. Theoretically, this ought to work … just a matter of making the link accessible, right? add_action('profile_personal_options','sfc_login_profile_page'); //Simple Facebook…[Read more]

@travel-junkie interested in just about everything I saw on your jobsboard site including Jobsboard, Contacts and of Events. As soon as you get em out there, I’ll jump. You must be reading folks minds.

  Oh man, I need to check my mentions more 🙂 Anyways, I replied to your other post and the events plugin is available now. Contact me through my website http://shabushabu.eu. The eshop we were building is experiencing some problems 🙂

Hey Gents … picking up on the question posed by @blgdra here, is there a conditional statement I can use to show the field only when it is populated, or even only when populated with a given value? I have <span><strong>Field Title: </strong> </span> and would like to hide the Field title as well as the value when […]
