I think it’s worth considering turning optional components into plugins as long as discovery and onboarding are done REAL well. The plugin directory is definitely a way, but i’ve seen companies do one-click installs from inside the settings screens of the plugins themselves.

Also another subject – how often do we (the collective we) feature…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply @imath. I was simply implying to look and see what they are doing – SOME of what they are doing I think fits into general interest (look at how they deal with media). They are doing research and it would be foolish to ignore some parts, even if it in the end it leads to ways we can mold it more toward BuddyPress thinking.…[Read more]

I might be too close to BuddyPress since using it since the 0.1 days (yes, that version is right). I do agree more with the comments so far about the “product fit” and some of that “vibe” feels like some people talking about where WordPress itself (which BP relies on) although I feel WordPress still fills many holes and has a long life to it. But…[Read more]

I would love to be kept up to date on this (and even time permitting help). I’ll look at your comment/path as well. This would be something one would have to opt-in into – I can see this breaking plugins.

This request isn’t just for a single project – i’ve hit this same scenario more than once. Worthy of pursuit and allows BuddyPress developers…[Read more]

Thanks for the input @danbp and @sbradjesh.

Dan – thanks for the suggestion, but I was able to get the types all along. 🙂
Bradjesh – you’re right regarding the order but I thought i was able to do this before, especially working with plugins that I needed to work with the member type for some logic. I made adjustments based on your suggestion. 🙂

Can you include a screenshot?

Are you sure this functionality isn’t coming from or be altered by another plugin or your theme?

Using Gravity Forms is one solution, yes. It’s easy once you have the plugin itself PLUS the “user registration” plugin they offer which i think is open only for the developer license. It completely replaces the BuddyPress registration form. I use it for a variety of sites that need more complex registration forms (there of course is a tradeoff,…[Read more]

@henrywright

Thanks but that didn’t seem to do much either. I even checked back to other BP_Component examples and i’m using the same hooks. I’m guessing this is something “weird” (or something i’m not aware of) with bbPress. I just went ahead and created the bbPress forum and connected it to the BP group in my plugin manually. I hate to do that…[Read more]

BTW, thanks for the responses @shanebp @danbp

Thanks. Sadly this isn’t working out. I’m going to post this here in case someone can tinker with it (you’ll need BP and bbPress installed):

Yeah, i’m trying to use the BP native functions and hooks. I have no problem with the BuddyPress flow – just when it comes to relying on…[Read more]

@shanebp

Thanks for the response. That in a nutshell is what i’m doing right now with the change you suggest. Loader.php loads the file that contains the code above via bp_loaded. Then i try to initialize my class CurrikiGroupImport. So it’s a chicken and egg thing – either I can init my class and get the plugin loaded and showing up in the WP…[Read more]

@shanebp

The change to ‘bp_ready’ gets past the “crapstop” but my plugin no longer shows up in the menu. Although i’ve always thought ‘bp_loaded’ was the proper hook here, for the moment i’ll take it.

Here’s the full bit of code. Perhaps i’m not init the class properly here?


function curgi_group_import_init() {

if (…[Read more]

Furthermore, I can create a group with my plugin WITH the “this groups has a forum” checkmark (but remember – my problem is that i can’t ACTUALLY create the forum). I can go into the “groups” area in the WP backend and simply edit the group and hit ‘update’ and WordPress DOES create the group. So it works there, but not in myplugin. I’m thinking…[Read more]

@shanebp – I have looked at that. function groups_new_group_forum is called by function groups_edit_group_settings which i’m calling. The “checkbox” for groups to have a forum is updated but no forum is created.

Here’s the lines of code in groups_edit_group_settings() in bp-groups-functions.php
