BuddyPress.org

It’s built into WPMU (now called WP 3.0 Multisite). Just go to Super Admin->Options->Limited Email Registrations. Not sure about WP Single Blog mode.

From my experience with s2member you have to have the PayPal buttons first, have them pay. Then after they pay on PayPal they are redirected to a registration page where you can have them fill out all the forms. I don’t believe you can do it the other way around with s2member. Although, they’ve created […]

1. Test the upgrade on a backup server so you can test plugin compatibility first
2. Make Good Backups before the upgrade

Otherwise, manually should actually be less risky of an upgrade than the auto upgrade.

How about a theme focused on…
-Groups
-Forums
-Blogs
-etc

Basically, make the theme really expose certain BP functions. Like in my case, I’ve modified it to be VERY Group centric.

Why not just use a child theme and modify the index.php to show whatever you want the page to be? You could also make it show one thing for logged in and one thing for not logged in. You probably could even look at referring page or set a cookie or something to know if […]

Just create a language file and change all the references to group: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@bpuser44 Glad you like my sports fundraising concept. Initially my focus is signing up sports organizations. In some cases that’s the school, other times it’s a non-profit organization and other times its the overriding association that might have a dozen or more teams. I’m basically trying to build a platform that will work for any organization […]

At first I wondered if I should click on the link. I was wondering what was being exposed. So, is the basic concept of the site to give people a place to put their info?

BP Gallery works well for it. oEmbed is another option if you want the image to be hosted somewhere else and just embedded in the stream.

Yes, you can just do one blog even though you installed multi site. That’s what I do on http://www.givingsports.com (which I just launched). The choice of using the original homepage or not is harder. However, you can keep your original home page and still have all the BP features around it. That’s kind of what […]

I’m currently using WP multi site, but just have not enabled the blogs feature for users. So, it’s essentially a WP single user. The reason I enabled multi site is that I may want to use the blogs feature later, WP multisite has some extra options (like username validation), some plugins work with WPMU and […]

Anointed, That’s exactly the idea. I’m going to launch a non-sports related one at http://www.givingsquare.com shortly. You could create a trip to Haiti group and have all the kids in church sign up for free. Then, they send out emails, post to twitter, facebook etc asking for people to support their trip. I’ve built it […]

@justbishop
Sorry. I reverted it back to a different version after testing was complete. That link will work now. Although, now to really see how it works you’ll have to fork over some $$. So, if you don’t want to do that, you can see essentially the same thing on my demo/development site: http://somelunch.com/register/accept-invitation/noemail/6/1

I like the groups their apart of. Would you mind sharing your code for that? I’d probably want it in a widget in the sidebar instead of under the profile, but could be adapted from your code I’m sure.

Thank you Jeff. I figured it would be something simple, but couldn’t find it. I tried all sorts of bp_core_get combinations and couldn’t find that one. Thanks!

Turn on registration in the BP or WP admin (depending on how you installed it.

I found this little function: $user_test = new BP_Core_User( $referring_user_id ); Has the full name, but you still have to go through all the xprofile fields. Plus, is it ok to call the user info this way? Will it have problems down the line. Another option is to sync the display_name with the name in […]
