Install it on domain.com, assuming you’re not currently using the domain for anythign else.

The approach to take in a plugin is to hook into the various WP and BP actions and then reward achievements as and when appropriate. You need to record in the database which achievements have been obtained. And write the administration and user interfaces for BuddyPress as a custom component.

I am myself working on an achievements plugin. I had hoped to release a test version today but I can’t promise that, it’s looking unlikely. But we shall see..

I believe the WP/WPMU merge isn’t being released until WP 3.0. So yes before Christmas sounds realistic.

Have you tried copying the functions.php from the default theme to your custom theme?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

The trick would be to use a custom “translation” – this way when you upgrade, you won’t have to manually merge lots of files.

See Customizing Labels, Messages, and URLs.

Neither are possible out of the box without writing some code; and I think these features are non-trivial to add.

The only interim measure unless you get your hands dirty would be to rename “friends” to “fans” – it’d be only a text change but if by chance you don’t want friends on your network, then it’d work for you.

Test with the default home and member themes – does the problem still occur?

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

I sometimes think we shouldn’t bundle the Skeleton theme with the BuddyPress .zip. It confuses some people.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

I think a lot of the bits get the name through the wp_bp_xprofile_data table.

Hello Baraber

It seems like you are quite new to CSS. I suggest you get a copy of Firefox (if you haven’t already) and also Firebug, then with Firebug, you can make changes to CSS in realtime and see if they work as you want.

p.s. try starting out with

background: #FFF9DF url('myimage'gif') no-repeat fixed bottom left

I’ve just out of bed so am still half-asleep, but it’s something like that.

p.p.s couldn’t see your image, as it required log-in to that forum.

I spoke to apeatling about this on IRC a week or two ago, and he said it was something he was aware of. You could make a ticket on the Trac just in case it is forgotten – use the same username and password for there as you do here.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

On my live site, each and every user account has a user_status of 0.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

You do not need to start another thread about this – you’ve posted in one other. I’m going to close this thread so we keep the discussion in one place.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Good spot capturing this guys, and thanks for reporting the bug on Trac glycoknob.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

What about trying to insert a call to that function around line 134 in bp-core-avatars.php? Just above where it has four checks (one of them is ‘File you uploaded is too big’ and ‘Please upload only JPG, GIF or PNG photos’).

Hi slavd

Thanks for the post. This bug was fixed in the SVN trunk a while ago, so I’m going to mark this post as resolved. Thank you very much for taking the time to post here!

Hello,

And thank you for resurrecting a two month old thread. The + thing isn’t going to get anything done quicker.

How about, if I promise to work on the following, you promise to stop saying +6?

– When we create custom profile field, we don’t have the possibility to up and down the field to order them…

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Original question: yes it’s fine

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

Certainly the first thing has been mentioned by some people. It’s not possible yet, I’m sure it will be implemented at some point, be patient.

I haven’t seen the latter suggestion before, but I wonder if that’s something more suited for WPMU to implement.

Either way to be sure these suggestions are captured, write them up as an ‘enhancement’ ticket on https://trac.buddypress.org/newticket.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 4 months ago]

@Kunal17 – site admins can control which are enabled. They can’t change the points (well you could edit the DB manually…), at least not in the first release. We’ll see how it goes.

@Chris Clayton – yes indeed. There’s very little negative achievements in that list, and about the only one is that friends and the group invites. I thought the group invites one might be fun as already on my BP site, whenever someone makes a group, they just invite everyone to it regardless. Still early days yet I will see how they go when I test them a bit more.

[@djpaul Keymaster 17 years, 5 months ago]

Here’s a PDF draft of the achievements I’d want to get into the first test release – comments welcome.

First of all, Member themes MUST be installed to /wp-content/bp-themes/. To select which Member theme your site uses, visit this page on your install: http://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-core.php

And try reading burtadsit’s post here.

Florian, if the test isn’t working, then the group forums ain’t gonna work.

You need to confirm with your host that they support remote procedure calls (and XML-RPC specifically)? It might be that they are not allowing remote calls to be made to the same server.
