techguy posted on the forum topic Custom Group Details in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years ago

There may be some plugins available that do some of this, but I haven’t kept up on it. I think some get close, but not exactly what you’re talking about. I think they do pieces. That said, it’s pretty easy to add this using the BP Group API: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/group-extension-api/ It can ask for information at […]
techguy started the forum topic Not Applying Settings from Admin in the group Seo for Buddypress: 15 years ago

I turned on the latest version of this plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be pulling the settings from the admin. Either that or I’m just not quite understanding how this plugin is applying those settings. Here’s a simple example. I have the following settings for the Group Home Title: %%componentname%% | %%sitename%% If you […]
techguy started the forum topic Changes for 0.1.2 in the group BuddyPress Moderation: 15 years ago

I see that this plugin was updated, but there’s no comments in the features about what’s been updated for 0.1.2. I’d be interested to know before I update.
techguy posted on the forum topic Group activity emails/notifications not being generated/sent in the group BuddyPress Group Email Subscription: 15 years ago

My emails weren’t being sent, but when I upgraded to the latest version, the emails started flowing. Last night it actually flowed in duplicate. If tonight it’s still duplicate or moves to triplicate, I’ll let you know.

Now Boone’s peeing his pants in anticipation. See what you’re missing.

Chat going on now. Boone has pulled out his punting foot.

@jcmartin
Why are you looking for a shared host? I don’t think any shared hosts have 128MB RAM. You’ll probably have to go with a VPS like LW or many of the other options to get to that level.

Get all the details: http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/the-next-dev-chat-will-be-this-wednesday/

Just a friendly reminder for those that might have forgotten and also a note for those that might be new and not know about it.
techguy posted on the forum topic Can Group Admin receive email notifications when group activity occurs? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years ago

Lots of ways. Some easier than others.

One way might be to use the Group Email Subscription plugin: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-group-email-subscription/

You can have your settings at sending immediate activity and it will get emailed to you.
techguy posted on the forum topic New Version 1.3 in the group Seo for Buddypress: 15 years ago

I’ve been using it on my test site without any noticeable problems. I’m going to roll it out to my production site now. I’ll let you know if I see anything odd.
techguy started the forum topic No Email Filtering in the group Welcome Pack: 15 years ago

I must be missing something since I’ve had this working on a test install before. I’ve enabled the email filtering and I’ve made the changes to the specific emails that I want to have a different text, but it’s still using the old text. Am I forgetting something? I’m using WP 3.0 and the latest […]
techguy posted on the forum topic What is the best dedicated econmic hosting for MU? in the group Miscellaneous: 15 years, 1 month ago

@mrbeno You might want to check through this BP Hosting group: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-hosting/forum/ Still a new group, but some good information to get you started.
techguy posted on the forum topic Stability of SEO Plugin in the group Seo for Buddypress: 15 years, 1 month ago

Thanks. I’ll give it a try on my test site for a bit and let you know.
techguy posted an update 15 years, 1 month ago

@mikepratt Hey, I heard you mention in your WordCamp presentation that you put text at the bottom of your PM message emails so people knew to respond on the site and not to the email itself. I’d love to get the text you’ve found to be effective and did you use Welcome Pack or some plugin like that to make it happen?
techguy posted on the forum topic [Buddypress] Capital letters in Usernames in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 1 month ago

@Tolden and @stephenefromfrance Your functions.php file should contain the folowing: At least that’s what mine has and it works fine. I’m also using this plugin to notify users if this would be a problem for them also: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/creating-a-buddypress-wordpress-username-availability-checker-for-your-site/ Although, I think I…[Read more]

I’ve been using: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dbd-login-style/ It’s not perfect, but works ok. I thought I saw another one released recently, but I can’t remember where.
techguy posted a new activity comment 15 years, 1 month ago

I think that Dreamhost is a shared webhost and so I don’t think you’ll likely ever see lightning fast load speeds with a shared host. A VPS would be a better alternative if you’re concerned about the speed.

techguy posted on the forum topic remove password confirmation in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 1 month ago

Serious? Password confirmation is not superfluous at all. Unless you want to be answer a ton of support requests because they think they typed the right password but in fact didn’t.

@Ehegwer
Ok, so maybe I don’t know Facebook’s process. Which I guess makes sense since I didn’t have them pull my address book. Do they present you a list of email addresses with them all checked when you choose to pull your address book?
