I do prefer CSS only as well as even dumb guys like myself are able to change CSS.
hmm… any CSS-pros out there to help on this ?
drop me an e-mail:
supersky @chello.at@JJJ
Is it July 29 already ?
time is flying by……wow !
I would call this Forum-Design having the perfect User-Interface:That would be an idea for the layout of our BP.org-Forum ???
cool page !
How to adjust the CSS in order to make the width of the main-column (I mean the column at which we do have the Activity-Stream, roups-Directory, Members-Directory, etc.) and also make the sidebar exactly the same width as at that LookBook-website ?
Also getting a behavior that the width of the SideBar stays constant and the width of the main-column fluctuates based on the site of the screen or browser-window ?
Would be cool to get the BuddyBar and the Permalink-Pages also in that kind of width…….
I have made this before when using another CMS, but I am not able to work this out on the BP-default-theme……
Any ideas ?
Let me know your PayPal when you are able to make it !@JJJ
thank you for your hard work to get BP 1.2.5 sorted !Why don´t you provide a “Donate-button” for yourself ?
**********
just a general question:
So when I have a my wording customized in my language-file, and there are a few words new in this next version, how do I add those additional words into my .po file ?
I am using POEDIT, but I did not see any possibility to add additional strings or lines into my .po-file using POEDIT.hmm…I quite don´t understand what you are trying to do, but it sounds interesting.
Could you please explain or show how this looks like ? A Forum integrated with BuddyPress….?I am curious to understand…
I guess you want to have a “standalone” bbPress install ?
Forum without Groups ?Hi Jersey,
if you want to use Forums associated to different Groups, then yes BuddyPress is what you are looking for.
Get yourself a shared-hosting-account (for the beginning) and find somebody on this website who will setup BuddyPress on your WP 3.0 install.do you know the test-website already ?
http://www.testbp.orgthose are a few reasons I have deactivated the activity-stream just now, as it is not logic and user-friendly at all.
Just having Groups and Forums, but that is really not a Social-Network (besides the friending-component).seems like this widget and plugin is only useable for coders, not for non-coders ?
is it possible to remove the Filter-Drop-Down and make just normal Tabs instead ?
How is Facebook doing this ? I do not see a Filter or Checkboxes at that page……
Is there any idea or suggestion of how to consolidate the Adminbar, the Navigation-Tabs and the Filter in order to make navigation simpler ?
this wording is in your language-files
…/wp-content /plugins /buddypress /bp-languages /
check files with extension .pot / .po / .mo
you can work those files by using a software called “POEDIT”
I do agree 100%.
– Put the social-layer onto the Core features of WordPress: BLOGGING & MULTI-BLOGGING
(being able to blog without the need to access the DashBoard, the DashBoard is very complicated for the average internet-user).– Put in the must-haves for a Social-Network: Privacy and extended User-Profiles.
– Let the Plugin-developers do the rest and the talented ones of them will make lots of money…….
I am sure Automattic agrees on that one 100% as well.
“……because no one is testing the branch and no one is reporting back how various fixes have affected them…..”
“……I typically have 5 or 6 different local test installations that I work from….”Can we get a few more test-websites online (probably with different set-ups) at which we ALL can test the bleeding-edge-version ?
Currently it is hard to test new fixes at testbp.org as this website has no MultiSite-Blogs and also some other features disabled.
testbp.org is more a marketing-website than a testing-platform.There are many people here who would like to do testing, but it is hard for a non-coder to set-up a local install at his computer as this know-how is simply not there for a non-coder. But having a few online-websites to do the testing, this would be possible even for non-coders.
Just try to imagine for a minute: you are not a coder and have no experience in PHP and are not able to install WordPress or BuddyPress at all.
Like myself, I do like testing very much and have reported a few TRAC-tickets in the past, but I do have no clue about PHP or how to setup a BP-installation.Yeah, you have 5 or 6 different local test installations that you work from, but we are not able to go and test on your local installs and report feedback.
I do have one live-website, but I would not dare to test the bleeding-edge-version at my own website, as I even do not know how to install the bleeding-version at my own website
.
Put your different local-setups online and I am sure many non-coders will go and test.Many thanks,
ErichI am definitely very thankful to Matt & Andy for starting this idea and bringing Open-Source-Social-Networking to the world !
I am also very thankful to JJJ, MrMaz, Ray, Jeff, Paul, Boone, Marius and all the many other great people writing code and helping out on this forum – I have donated a few bucks already and will donate to those other guys in the future as well !
Andy, please do not take this thread in any offensive way, but only as constructive criticism.
Criticism is important for every project to move ahead. I am always happy when somebody criticises myself, so I can think it over and learn from it.ALL of you did an awesome job so far, just let us commonly find the best direction of where BP is going next.
I guess you are using the “Usernames Only Plugin” and from what I have read, Ray is already working to fix that issue or has already fixed it as there is a new version availbale just today (version 0.56).
I am very thankful to Ray for writing this Plugin “Usernames Only” and will surely send him my donation.@lincme
agree with you.“…….full real names instead of anonymous meaningless usernames…..”
It does not have to be a “REAL” name, but ONE name for a member is enough.
Having 2 names for 1 user (username and display-name) is very very confusing !@buddypress , @wordpress ,
How many names are printed on YOUR business-card ?
Take a look.KISS (Keep It Simple & Stupid).
I do not want to speak for Jeff, but I recognized from his posts on this Forum that he knows a lot about Privacy-stuff.
I guess Jeffs Privacy-Features could have been build into the Core-Code already and would have added value to BP.
Let him allow to build his basic-features into the Core-Code and give him the chance to make some money on top of that by providing a plugin which gives “Advanced Privacy Features”.The same goes for the Events-Plugin which probably only would have needed a bit of support from the Core-guys to get it properly running ?
No Plugin and Core-Code will be 100% perfect from the beginning, but with building this stuff into the Core-Code (with having the ability to activate / deactivate those features in the backend) and therefore having the benefit that many BP-webmasters will have the chance to test those features and providing lots of feedback and for coders providing patches on each of those features in order to improve it.
I guess that is what this article says (read it again !):
http://toni.org/2010/05/19/in-praise-of-continuous-deployment-the-wordpress-com-story/Just apply “continuous deployment” to BuddyPress.
Currently there are many coders working on their own Plugins and are the “Gatekeepers” of their own little walled garden, but think about “Crowd-Sourcing”:
Why not providing a TRAC-tool, which gives all the talented coders on this Forum the chance to commonly work TOGETHER on a specific BP-feature (e.g. Privacy, Front-End-Blog-Posting, Events, etc.) ?Step out of your own tunnel-vision and take the bigger-world-view and EVERYBODY will benefit.
Hi Peter,
you say you are osing Blogs and Groups, I guess by using the Group-Blog-Plugin ?
I wanted this set-up as well, but my trouble is that I do not want to send my users into a complicated Dashboard in order to write a Blog.Do you have a solution to this ? I guess you went with P2 ?
Many thanks,
Erichwhich image are you talking about ? The big one (1250 x 125px) in the top header ?
If so, go into your Dashboard (domain.com/wp-admin) and upload a new image exactly this size in the section “Appearance”.Thanks cnorris,
I have checked the strings already in the language-file and those are correctly translated.
However those strings do not show-up in the translated language, but still in english…….at the Automattic-website it actually says that BP is an Open-Source-project:
“…….We also contribute to a number of non-profit and Open Source projects, here are a few:…..”
