I like your idea of a site exploratation meter. I’ve seen something similar done on this non WP/BP site: http://www.greedyorneedy.com/ with great success. They basically just have the meter work based on the points that you gain. So, you could use the Achievement points to create a meter like this pretty easily I think.

I haven’t had any issues with it not saving, but I haven’t made many changes to the defaults yet.

I did notice that the button on the bottom isn’t working, but the save button on the top is (at least on the General SEO page).

I finally got around to doing this and it seems to have switched fine. The | was converted to its ascii character, but when I saved the options again it corrected that.

Do a search for BBPress import from vBulletin and see what turns up. Right now BP just uses BBpress as the forum. Forums are tied to groups in BP, unless you use a standalone BBPress install. There is no bridge for vBulletin right now, but as BBPress is getting redone I think the idea is […]

I guess the other weird part is that in the 2 changes where it was moved to those configuration settings, it changes from 2 different sizes (25×25 and 60×60) to one size (BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT). I’m not really complaining about the change and I certainly could have tried this before the release and seen the potential […]

I’d definitely look at s2member. It hijacks the normal user creation process and that’s probably why it doesn’t have the capability.

I’d guess that many of them will work on the new version of 1.2.6, but certainly there are some that will break with the upgrade. So, you should do a test upgrade on a test system and see what breaks and what doesn’t before upgrading on a production site. Oh, and be sure to have […]

Also, if you want to do paid subscriptions you should really look at using the s2member plugin. It’s as simple and straightforward as you’re going to find to set up a paid section of BuddyPress.

Since you saved me the time looking for this, I’ll throw in the other 2 I already knew:
groups_is_user_mod( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->groups->current_group->id)
groups_is_user_admin( $bp->loggedin_user->id, $bp->groups->current_group->id)

Plus, that’s the code to get the logged in userid and current groupid.

I’m using that without any problem. Which field are you trying to use that in?

@djpaul Could you describe a little more what makes it happen? In the case above, I’m calling messages_new_message() on an admin page when it loads based upon the variables that are being passed into that page. I don’t actually call messages_new_message() until the page is about half loaded. Is messages_new_message() returning some data before the…[Read more]

Looks like other places talk about white space in front of or after the PHP tags. Any other things that can cause this error?

BuddyDev’s paid Album plugin does some of this functionality. Probably not a perfect fit, but does a lot of the stream posting of content like this.

Don’t be surprised if your log file is what’s taken up your space. Look through the folders and tell us what files are taking up the space and maybe we can help you more.

“as far as I’m aware BP does not create any roles or specific capabilities.”

Except for Groups and Forums where users can be given more roles.

In order… -Depends what you mean, but this is a built in featured to BP -This is pretty much a requirement for BP. Although, you can choose how big or small you want the profiles to be -Groups in BP should satisfy this. You can make them public, hidden or private. -This is a widget […]
