and also, there is no way to edit topic tags once you have added them. that field seems to be missing from the edit page.

also, there are not enough do_action hooks in group/single/forum/topic.php to hook the above code in properly. (I’ve added trac request for this.)

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@snark I’ve fixed that bug.

I also upgraded the plugin to version 1.3 and added the ability in the admin to change the karma calculation type. You can show the total karma points, the average karma points per post, or two mixed values in between.

The default karma points will probably double for all users with the default settings. I you want them back to the way they were, go to admin and choose the third karma calculation value.

@irfun4ever only the super admin can do that, even group admins cannot.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

well look at that!

I need to see a tag cloud in a group forum, but restricted for that group. Any one know of a plugin to do that?

I guess I’ll try to write one if one doesn’t exist. I might work on a widget as well. But could be tricky seeing as the current code is ajax, and the widget can’t be ajax.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@Bowe I think the plugin does what you want. When you install the Group Tags widget the link is via url:

mydomain.com/groups/tag/mytag

going to that url, will show the groups for the tag ‘mytag’

there is a new version of this plugin that a bunch of us are working on that might supersede the one listed above:

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

this plugin has been updated to fix folder structure. also, the forum is now called ‘announcements’ for any announce groups. enjoy

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Hey everyone, I’ve added a widget capability to this plugin. Enjoy

@pcwriter @r-a-y @designodyssey

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

i believe this project is no longer alive. I needed this kind of functionality for groups, so I wrote this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@Modemlooper – I changed line 110 to the line below. so you can change your css class to rfp-member-profile-karma and it should be fine in the next update.

echo '<div class="rfp-member-profile-karma">' . get_option( 'rfp_karma_label' ) . rfp_poster_karma( $relative_karma ) . '</div>';

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@r-a-y and @mrjarbenne thanks for the quick feedback. I fixed it to the commented out code and removed the abspath. The $bp global is not necessary because the scope of that file is already global (I guess – and it works

I posted a new version 1.2.1

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

@epsi @r-a-y an update has been made.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

I’ve made the changes mentioned above. so that if you have a bbpress install at a different location, the plugin will work.

I’ve added the ability to hide karma points. it is accessed in the admin.

I also noticed a bug with how the karma rating was showing up on the members page and fixed it.

the new version is 1.2 and should be visible here momentarily: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/

enjoy.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

sounds good to me. I’ll make that change and post an update.

I’m working heavily on the group email notifications plugin now, so this change may not happen for a bit. but it will be exactly as you describe in the second example.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@myqolik and @lautering – I believe my plugin does what you need. You mention wanting to enable people to read the content without joining the group – If you use my plugin then this is possible. When you set the group to Announcement-only, then ONLY admins and moderators can add content. The group can be public, private or even hidden. And for a public group, it doesn’t matter if the members join or don’t join, they still can’t add any content. So it really doesn’t matter if they join or don’t they still can’t write a thing. The benefit of joining the announcement group is that with email notifications plugin, you can turn that group into a email newsletter.

Does that match what you are looking for?

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

I’ve started a new topic for version 1.1 of the plugin. Please post any comments here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/new-version-of-buddypress-rate-forum-posts

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

here is the request in trac. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2127

I even learned how to make diffs!

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Andrew, the issue you raise–not doing the highlighting with javascript–is valid, and I will be addressing it in the next version, however i’m going to take another approach than you’ve suggested. So other users don’t need to be concerned with the above code, because it will work differently quite soon.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

Yes, I see the problem now. I’ll address it right away…

It seems like that is a bug in buddypress. /bp-themes/bp-default/blogs/create.php the do_action at the top should not be bp_before_directory_groups_content it should rather be bp_before_directory_blog_content like it is in the other blog pages such as index.php.

I’ve made a trac request to change this.

nice to know its not my plugin.

I would just edit that file, as it will probably be fixed in the next minor upgrade.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@pcwriter – I don’t see an add blog link in the front end of buddypress, can you show me how to replicate the problem? are you using another plugin to do this? is it an admin setting that enables that?

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

I’ll fix this soon. it is easy to fix. thanks fror the notice.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

hey, @designodyssey the ajax is not implemented properly, and plays well. I made that change in version 1.0 of the plugin. no ajax issues like before. Sure there are more features that could be added, such as a group tags widget, but the core works great.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@mikepratt – I’m using the group tags for basically the same reason – to categorize groups. In my project, i will be pulling out certain tags and listing them in a page along side the ‘My Groups’ tab. Let me know more about what you implement for the directory listing.

One future thing I’d like to do is create a group tags widget. however I first need to figure out how to get the slug /groups/tag/myslug to redirect properly to my code. I might make another attempt next week. Any ideas or code help would be much appreciated.

yes, all the functions are exposed and should be pretty obvious by their name and brief comment about usage.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

hey @andrew_s1 I totally agree that is a better implementation, and I was going to initially do it that way, however my requests for filter and action hook additions seem to take a low priority (rightly so) and I was concerned that future BP updates would break the plugin. Do you think I should wait until the hook is added before I make the change in the code, and force people to upgrade their template, or leave it as is with javascript for the meantime?

hmmm. maybe if I learn to make diff files for trac, my suggestions are more likely to be implemented…

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

@andrew_s1 thanks for the code, I’ll add that soon.

@nuprn1 – I would love to not hard code it, but I was having trouble getting those variables. Can you give me a suggestion on how I can do that. One solution could be to check a db option value, and if it exists (for example in a custom install) then use that instead of the default one. what do you think?

@Bpisimone – I might get around to comment rating, but that is a pretty low priority because those plugins already exist. However it would be good to combine points rather that have two systems. Things like this that don’t effect the project i’m working on are lower priority. (but donations do make them higher priority.

[@dwenaus Participant 16 years, 3 months ago]

good to know the plugin is working well.

@andrew_s1 thanks for the headsup
