Whole world of hurt! techguy do you mean you want to allow users to configure the html version? That could well end up messy and broken?. If you are going to attempt this html mail is best constructed using old school table layout and all your styling placed as inline. I can see a virtue […]

Not quite sure what one would do here? in the most straightforward implementation cubepoints is a bit of fun for a site, adds some stickiness, allows site owners to think about offering rewards, prizes against points earned; at least we are using in the sense that members will be able to build up points and […]

Just to update earlier angst trying to get CP to play nice with WPMU: found and updated the SQL DB queries to prepend the correct prefix. The queries to the user and usermeta tables was using $wpdb->prefix which produces wp_1_ which is the WPMU table prefix and wrong, users and usermeta are prefixed by wp_ […]

@Gpo1 it’s all in the documentation for the parent plugin (these are not features provided by the CP BP integration plugin) give the docs page provided in html format a read in the docs folder!

It’s true that media tends to be a rather large weakness for BP and one of the obvious surprises migrating from Ning, however a lot of work has been done on an extremely well featured album plugin and which is still actively being developed and improved and as such I’m sure it isn’t going to […]

Without meaning or wishing to rain on the parade, it’s the referrer aspect that imho is the important aspect I would award big points for invitations accepted i.e invitees actually signing up as that is growing the community but I can’t think out the logic required, but Boone may be able to help. Other than […]

No it doesn’t officially support it but it can deal with the wpmu DB prefix, so really one wonders why dragging out user data is such an issue, which is all it seems to be must be something to do with the mu users status as subscribers to the main blog but not having higher […]

Not sure it’s such an easy one as most functions seem to rely on an action of the logged in user to add/update points whereas the action of the table updating the field is_joined from 0 to 1 ‘accepted’ is not reliant on a logged in user so I guess there would need to be […]

Have you asked on their site? They are meant to support their premium offerings.

And what direction would that be? What is the issue? You might to need to pad out your question with a little detail. What is the other application? Is the issue that the fields do not match between apps? Is it simply how to transfer a mass of users without having to manually enter each […]

@Mike Pratt yes there is really a distinction to be made between blogs and forums, but deciding on which to use? If one disables forums in groups one is simply left with ‘updates’ there is no blog functionality per se (I’m ignoring plugins in the context of this thread) and I’m thinking that the nature of […]

Rather than drag up a rather old thread , could you perhaps marshal your thoughts about the UI and general user experience in this thread:

It’s a vague attempt at having a thread running to mirror the API…[Read more]

https://buddypress.org/community/groups/miscellaneous/forum/topic/the-buddypress-ui-design-and-conceptual-approach-to-social-networking/#post-51851 Defining a Social Network / Community I guess one of the major points is to establish quite what we all mean or refer to when using phrases such as social network or community and what type of content…[Read more]

Reading these last two comments with interest; quick question, regarding the aspect of group blogs and group forums is there really a difference? a blog allows an entry/post to be made and for comments to be made on it, in a sense a running dialogue; a forum allows a post/thread/question to be made and people […]

While this is not entirely a ‘problem’ with the new site i would suggest that allowing group creation is perhaps not the best idea or at least might need some further consideration? However having said that I realise that it’s part of the core aspect of BP. Reason mentioned is the recent creation of a […]

Do not change the markup directly, likely you have not added your ‘code’ to every instance of the pages that require it, regardless this isn’t the corect approach for many reasons that I won’t labour. you should add images such as this using the background property but from the primary stylesheet for your theme with […]

I would tend to agree with modemloopers take on the Activity Stream and of r-a-y’s notion of the Facebook/Twitter issue I am presently quite concerned with the way that the activity stream might be shapping our communities general activity or possibly simply confusing users. Initially I saw the activity stream as an extremely necessary feature […]
