techguy started the forum topic Bluehost – BuddyPress Hosting in the group BuddyPress Hosting: 15 years, 10 months ago

Host: Bluehost Host Website: http://www.bluehost.com/ Number of BP Users: Test Database Overall Experience (good and bad) Bluehost has worked well as a test/development box for me. I’d be nervous to put a production website on Bluehost, but for someone just getting started and with a small amount of traffic, it works fine. Occasionally it will […]

Have you contacted the BP-real names plugin creator? That sounds like the first place to go to find people that are interested.
techguy posted on the forum topic How to use BuddyPress in "wordpress.com" blog ? in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 10 months ago

“None whatsoever.”

Unless you’re a wordpress.com VIP member and then there’s some room to negotiate. Although, I’d be very surprised if they let even VIP members run BP on it.
techguy started the forum topic Disable Activation Email Breaks Invite Anyone in the group Invite Anyone: 15 years, 10 months ago

I found that my new Disable Activation plugin (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/i-would-like-to-disable-email-activation/?topic_page=2&num=15#post-53849) breaks Invite Anyone. It’s because this plugin hooks to the bp_core_activated_user. So I had to switch it to the bp_core_signup_user and it worked…[Read more]
techguy posted on the forum topic Useful tool in the group BuddyPress Private Messages for Friends Only: 15 years, 10 months ago

Interesting idea. I’ll have to think if this will matter or not on my site. I wonder if it could be expanded to only PM user who are members of the groups you’re a part of as well.

techguy posted on the forum topic WordPress or WordPress MU??? in the group Miscellaneous: 15 years, 10 months ago

eor highlights the other difference. Some plugins were designed for WPMU and won’t work with WP and vice versa. So, the plugins you want to use should be part of the decision also.
techguy posted on the forum topic Buddypress Backup Techniques in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 10 months ago

Simple answer. Backup the files and the database. Then you’re all good. Every host that I’ve seen has those backup functions available to you. Most call it a home directory backup and a mysql database backup (or something similar).
techguy posted on the forum topic Automatic Add to Groups – Including Private Ones in the group Invite Anyone: 15 years, 10 months ago

Ok Boone, I think I’ve got this figured out. Basically you need to replace line 232 and 233 in by-email.php with: groups_join_group( $group_id, $user_id ); Of course, you’re more likely to put an option in the admin screen and then do an If () to see if people prefer to automatically add to the group […]

You might try posting the question in the forums and people will reply there instead of just spamming everyone. Plus, you need more details like what theme you’re using and what you’ve done so far and the other details of your WP/BP setup.

techguy posted on the forum topic I would like to disable Email activation in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 10 months ago

@Hollosch I turned Andy’s code and my little addition to disable the email at activation into a plugin. I’ve posted it to my blog for now: http://www.crashutah.com/blog/juanchito/2010/05/12/buddypress-disable-email-activation-my-first-buddypress-plugin/ I’m still waiting for the SVN access to be able to add it to the WP plugin repository. Also,…[Read more]

@twodeuces I’m not sure that the change of menu will matter with WP 3.0. The various menus are still the same from what I’ve seen.
techguy posted on the forum topic Unable to create group in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 10 months ago

Sounds like a problem with the theme. Which themes are you using? Did you check the theme that doesn’t work to see if the theme files are checking if the user is an admin before displaying the create group button? Maybe the theme that it doesn’t work on is just hiding the button to create, […]
techguy posted on the forum topic I would like to disable Email activation in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 15 years, 10 months ago

Thanks to Sarah Gooding, I found this plugin which mostly works with WPMU 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3: http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2009/10/autoactivate-users-and-blogs-at-buddypress-signup/ Only problem is that it still sends the activation email despite the email already being active. My hope is to incorporate the code from Andy so that it will…[Read more]

OK. Good to know. I’ll save the templates for other plugin projects. Maybe someone can explain the details of how they work by then.
techguy posted on the forum topic Understanding bp_core_load_template in the group Creating & Extending: 15 years, 10 months ago

Boone, Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at the other group plugins. I looked at some, but didn’t have the ones you mentioned on my list to look at. I also tried just putting the content in the display() instead of trying to load a template and that’s working fine. So, I […]
