im pretty good with modifying it, i just dont want to modify the actual files, what is the best way to implement a plugin kinda thing to tell bp the actual html to use?

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

i think the problem your having is the fact that p2 is not a “buddypress theme”

like in the main theme how it has a large widget area and 2 small ones, and also has a BLOG tab where the main blog is

the problem your having with p2 (and any other standard wordpress theme) is the BLOG tab is displayed on the main page rather than a large widget sidebar, as the recent blog posts thing is actually a widget, if you put this widget in your p2 sidebar you will see a direct comparison between the 2

currently you cant have a p2 “theme” that aggregates ALL blog posts like the buddypress widget does,

all the users will be posting to the main blog if you want them to use p2, and if you do then the current skin should be fine? it was designed to show comments

im sure you could add some nice jscript to add collapsing comments? this would probably bring better functionallity to your site if you didnt want the comments taking up the whole page?

there is a plugin to disable the dashboard but then obviously they cant edit the blog?

i think what your looking for is just plain wordpress (not mu / multi user) and buddypress which is upcoming, theres a thread about it in the forum if your interested, it would definately be worth a read and then base your decision on that

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

i kinda know how to do this, i am planning on switching the members profiles to http://username.hyrxx.com and the blogs to http://username.hyrxx.com/blogs /comments /photos etc

so it brings more of a focus onto the profile than the blog

because buddypress is about the profiles right?

ill let you know how i get on

just a quick question, what is this memory limit thing

i know it prevents me from uploading big images etc, but what is it actually refering to?

the chunk of memory allocated to the script at runtime? ie is this just space in ram for php to use?

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

is it possible to have the admin menu start on the buddypress image, rather than my account,

i plan to rewrite all the menu items when i redesign my site, and i want to attach a menu to the buddypress ‘home’ link

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

i changed the wire to comments so we added an extra class in for that, and the events icon wasnt working either aparently, not sure what the deal is though

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

i agree with this, we added css code to the custom css file to correct this, the problem is that it changes the css id to the custom slug, so its obviously not there

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

sorry i still dont understand exactly what it is this will enable, i kinda understand how xmlrpc works for wordpress to enable trackbacks but what will this do for us and buddypress??

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

by xing do you mean ning? where users can create their own social networks?

i think thats a little different from just a group membership, not saying it cant be done but why just join the user to a group what about introducing some of the members of the group

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

it works perfectly for me, on my site i renamed the wire to comments

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

[double post sorry]

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

would it also be possible to include an option to display the calulated age from the birthday field, i would rather it show their age than birthdate,

i have an age field but it would be much better if it updated everytime they got older, this can be easily calculated from the birthdate

change the options for blog 1 in the database

i have done this, changed the blog on hyrxx.com to hyrxx.tv

however, i have the multi site manager installed, this way i could just move the blog and then change the options in the db and done.

what i think your trying to do is change the whole install to another domain correct? (including files??)

let me know if you need more help

download the new twire component in beta from davids website

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

sorry what i shouldve said was that im using the multi site manager, so i just moved the blog using the move blog tool in the dashboard, im not transfering it from one script or database to another

what should the values be in the database

my domains are hyrxx.com < where the member profiles should be hyrxx.com/members/username this used to be where blog id 1 resided

however i moved that blog to my other domain hyrxx.tv, so now on hyrxx.com i have another blog which is id 44,

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

i have just added this to my site, however its not behaving very well, it stuffs up the next widget, also it only shows the members name and no aditional info, would be nice to show the users main blog link or something,

also the text where the name is, isnt at the top next to the avatar like the other widgets

take a look at it in action on my homepage to see what i mean

http://hyrxx.com

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

i have had this before and i belive it is all in one seo, so if you have that installed go to the options and uncheck rewrite titles, as it doesnt play nice with buddypress, hope that helps

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

i was aware of this one, but i am not really interested in paying for it

but this does show that it is possible

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

yes, they are all incompatible though, i think the signup process is different, maybe one of these plugins could be modifyed to work for mu

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

i want this so bad omg, all my users are the type of people that dont realise that it sends you this stupid random password and that you have to login with it, and then theres changing it….

i loose a lot of potential users this way just because they cant choose the password they want

please help us out

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

could you be a bit more specific, there was nothing there that i was specifically asking for..

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

wpmu and buddypress are installed on hyrxx.com and hyrxx.tv is another domain added using the multisite manager which allows me to use the same installation but for multiple domains at the moment its blank but i am going to move my main blog there

my freinds blog is also hosted on my installation in this way

http://designflaw.co.cc

rather than having to use subdomains

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

you should use one install of mu and then use multi site manager it uses just the one database

you can then use it like so to access members profiles

eg

http://hyrxx.com/members/Hyrxx/ (dot com)

http://hyrxx.tv/members/Hyrxx/ (dot tv)

[@hyrxx Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

this used to work but stopped working since rc1 where wponce security was added, the plugin needs to be updated, i have this installed and still have posts on my wire from it

i guess its just a matter of contacting the author and asking them to update the plugin
