Excellent! Someone else with this problem. If a third person could test and confirm, we’ve got ourselves a live one!

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Thread resurrection!

I have a beta version which I’ve given to a few people, so things are getting close to a public release.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Modify them how?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Did you remember to move the updated themes across when you updated BP?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Most web developers are beginning to decide not to support IE6 as it is very old and has horrendous standards support.

Not knowing how and what changes you have made, it is impossible for us to comment. Have you tried searching Google for issues with whatever techniques you are using on IE?

It is a known bug. There is a patch in the bug tracker if you can’t wait for the next release.

Don’t run a public site on trunk? I mean, I have a local development installation of trunk but to run that publicly…

The most recent trunk entirely changes the way the forums component is integrated into BuddyPress, which is why you are getting these problems.

Take a look at https://wordpress.org/showcase/ for examples of some of the best sites built on WordPress. WordPress itself is a stable and exciting for building sites and CMSs on, and the showcase which I’ve linked you to will let you browse the highlighted best.

The ‘biggest’ BuddyPress installation – other than this site – that I am aware of, is GigaOM Pro.

I’m not going to sell the idea of using BuddyPress to you but perhaps if you make a short list of the key features and ideas that are essential, and things you would like to have, we can all comment the feasibility.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Well, if you’ve already read this https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/ and maybe this https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2283, and do not understand, unless you are prepared to further your understanding of PHP and WordPress’ API, you need to find a developer to write the code for you.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Ah, r-a-y’s got a good suggestion! That one is definately easier to do, but it depends how hard your users want to try to get around it

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Look at /bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php. I’m not writing your code for you, but from the looks of things, I think you need to remove_action() the xprofile_add_signup_fields() call, and add_action your own version of this function, but obviously removing the avatar form field.

Best place for the code would probably be /plugins/bp-custom.php and make your add_action have a priority of 11.

I can see that you have cross-posted this over on the WPMU forums. You have a response from andrea_r, about an hour ago (as of time of posting), which you have replied to about 40 minutes ago.

This is definitely a WPMU question as this doesn’t involve BuddyPress, so you were right posting it there, but there was no need to post it here.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Sir

Please stop posting the same message. There is one lead developer on BuddyPress who works for Automattic, and he has a roadmap full of things to work on. The current target is BuddyPress v1.0.4 (a bugfix release) and as you can see from this thread, there are lots of known bugs to resolve to get v1.0.4 out the door, let alone implementation of any new features.

If for your website there are some priority features you require which haven’t been written yet, either learn to code/code them in yourself or hire someone to develop them for you.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Hello

Point 4 is a standard WPMU option and can be found in the Site Options panel of the admin interface.

Photo albums are something that will become a part of BuddyPress eventually (i.e. don’t hold your breath). There is an interim plugin you can use which provides a photo gallery to BuddyPress. I haven’t used it myself but you can find it on https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/.

The big problem I can see with point 2 is that you are inviting spammers and vandalism in to your site.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

However the slug is generated obviously doesn’t handle such character sets very well, as it does screw up the slug name – I don’t think it is limited to a number of characters being stripped out (there might be a built-in limit or some tags removed by a regex etc).

Please would you post this as a bug on the trac? Thanks

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Pardon my ignorance, but it would help test if you could provide a sample cyrillic string so we can try to recreate this bug – you probably can’t post it here on the forum without it messing up the character encoding but are you able to upload a .txt someplace?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I have fixed this bug – see this ticket.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Have you deactivated Buddypress before trying to upgrade Buddypress?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

In addition to the advice above, this is also a question best suited for the WPMU forums.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

I’m not aware of any, but then I wouldn’t necessarily be – this is probably the first mention of Joomla i’ve seen on these forums

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Take a look at the example custom component. There’s an example how to use that function.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

Yes, but I think 1.0.3 has security fixes as well as improved WPMU 2.8.1, so that is something you will need to keep in mind.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

If anyone uses trunk BuddyPress, they should be prepared for errors and for things to be broken.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 3 months ago]

You can’t. It’s private for this site only, mainly because BuddyPress’ lead developer, Andy Peatling, doesn’t want every site to look like the official BuddyPress site.

This has been asked and answered several times on this forum before; doing a search before posting your question doesn’t hurt!
