Ok, for those not too bright types like me, I hadn’t checked the box in wp admin under general settings to let anyone register. Ooops! Check the box and everything working.
I probably can’t wait for 1.3, but I don’t want to build a bunch of stuff that becomes worthless quickly. If this is firmly NOT on the roadmap, I’ll live, but if it is, I’d like to have an idea of how to build so with a few db queries I can move data to the new structure.
You know we could use such a “dependencies” plugin for any or all plugins. Should be too hard to code for someone who understands the automatic update functionality
Yeah, I can. I guess what I’m looking for is something that supports the front-end recognizing those different types at registration and then in themes. But, yes, I can create the roles and assign them capabilities. I’d like to do the same with groups and then either display the groups separately within the groups page or have multiple “pages” for each type. Same would be true for profiles.
Is this already possible for BP, even if roles setup in WP?
Maybe it’s something like the Members plugin with something on the front-end for new registrants or members to choose with some approval process. Sorta like the paid status for all these premium sites except without the need for paying.
If you know a bit of php, I’d try Prelovac’s WordPress Plugins. Actually, even if you don’t konw PHP, I’d get a php book and this book and WordPress Complete 2.7.
You could also just learn wordpress-specific php online. Read up on template tags, loops, functions. Again php is helpful to understand how all this functions. Don’t worry about MySQL.
Not sure what to do about BP as there is no real book that covers 1.2, but the Dummies book should explain the concepts.
This should be a reminder to all to take a look around, do some searches or at least ask a question before complaining.
However, it is also a reminder that people are impatient, want perfection, and want you to give it to them for nothing with little/no effort on their part. That is also a truth on the web these days.
Didn’t want to resurrect this thread, but both of you indicated you had coded a solution and I’d figured I’d ask for you to share. Also, I’d like to understand what considerations to think about when determining to do this with usermeta vs. xprofile fields.
@symm2112. Tried to access the ‘private’ forum but I guess you have to be a paid member. Most sites that require paid membership have pre-sale questions thread to address these type of things. Might be a good idea.
NEway, I’d be interested in seeing these efforts merged. They seem too similar to keep separate. If Brajesh has a longer timeline, maybe the development help can change that. It also sounds like Brajesh will have incentive to keep it going due to being compensated.
Just a thought. We have so many other things that BP needs, I’d hate to see too much duplication. That said, if the functionality/use cases are different, maybe it’s justified.
Are there plans for this plugin to work with Single WP too. I probably don’t go to production until about May-June. Any chance that meets your timeline.
Agree. Back on topic. Anybody know if the AWS functionality apparently in WP and WPMU could be used with Brajesh’s plugin?
On reading about Cincopa further, the issue of connecting photos to users and groups is not trivial and I’d love it if someone else has solved this problem without need to host everything on my non-CDN servers.
It has to be said. You have one significant option – Don’t buy it!
Look, I wish I could get what I wanted for free. Heck, I wish I had the time to program it. Sure, I wish open-source lovers would just build my website for me (not really).
The point is nobody is making you buy anything. Complaining that it costs $30 to take a date to see a 3D movie and $20 for popcorn and soda won’t get you anywhere. You always have the option of taking your date to MickeyDs value menu.
I’m a little confused now. Are these the same folks behind wpmudev.org? Pricing is different, but I can’t find any other significant plugins than the gallery in beta. I’m OK with a paid model, just not clear what, if anything, you get beyond a beta software.
