Actually, on my server I tracked it back to my bp-custom where I re-defined the wire slug to:
<?php define( 'BP_WIRE_SLUG', 'stickies' ); ?>Seems like groups do not play nice when this is altered. It would be nice if it would, so the url’s are consistent site wide with the ‘camouflaged’ component slug.
when I try to post to the wire, and click submit, it keeps sending me to my profile page and is not making the post to wire…
Confirmed…should be reported as a bug?
WPMU 2.8.1
BP 1.0.3
try:
<?php bp_the_avatar_thumbnail() ?>There are other platforms and have tried a few myself. As new as the bp platform is, it is by far the quickest out of the box that enables much of what you need already (together with wpmu). However other platform might offer more fine grained control, but it comes with a hefty learning curve as the platform is simply more complex. The upside to bp’s less complex architecture makes it also easier to develop for.
I’ll see if I can give some input on your requirements.
The main feature is an easy and somewhat restrictive way to post content. The only thing girls can publish is pictures of outfits, and then tag the clothes (describe, tag, categorize…).
It looks like you need a custom content type that omits the post message. Flutter allows you to create a specific post type. I haven’t tried it with wpmu. There is also a wpmu plugin called ‘toggle_meta_boxes’ which allows you to hide unneeded post boxes to make it super easy for your users to just upload content.
We want to have some level of control here. BTW not all users can upload content.
Since you only have one subject users post on I would recommend NOT giving every user a blog at sign up, but just let them post to the main blog. Keeps you in control over categories, tags, etc. Plus it lets you control the user level. I however you do want to give users a blog there are wpmu plugins which allow you to set blog defaults like categories, predefined pages and posts and such. Also you can make new blog users have an editor role rather than an admin role if you want to control what they can or can not do.
The content published by everyone goes to the main page, same of today.
This is done by buddypress through widgets or even custom loops if you are adventurous.
No problem there.
People con vote their fabs.
I haven’t looked at this, but I imagine there would be a wp plugin which would let users vote on posts. If you can find a vote plugin that serves an RSS feed you could pull that into the bp user profile. EVen link it to the activity stream with a small custom plugin.
When user is logged in, she sees the content of the girls she is following (not pictures of everyone, just pictures of the ones that inspire the user).
In bp through making friends with other users you can follow the activity of your friends only. At the moment the activity stream is text only, afaik, but I think images in the activity stream is in the pipeline?
User profile is built by the outfits she publishes
The profile page shows the latest activity, blog posts, wire messages, etc. of the profiles user.
and the outfits she favorites.
This is the most dificult part, since I haven’t looked into it. Assuming you can find a good vote/favorite plugin it should be doable.
You can search for/discover/subscribe to trends, types of clothes, styles, colors, people…
This is where bp shines as the search is very well done. Combine it with bp_contents plugin which allows your users to tag themselve, groups, blog and add categories…your archiving possibilities are endless.
Some pitfalls (already mentioned):
Privacy controls, inappropriate content flagging (is coming in 1.1 though), it is still not an out of the box solution (however for you requirements there is none that I can think of).
There are still even other approaches when I think about it, I would recommend wp and bp in a heartbeat. Especially since the backend of both are really solid. Plugins are installed and upgraded easily. It is a widely supported and growing platform and would not hesitate to recommend it to you.
I hope this helps a little bit.
Check out the skeleton component plugin. I teaches you how to make a bp component. It has examples where it sets up two custom pages with according links, etc. That’s how I re-created the dashboard, but r-a-y’s would also work.
The skeleton component takes some time studying as it will go over much more than just setting up page templates, but it is a good learn if you are developing with bp and creating a dashboard component would be a good entry level start.
…but it was when 2.8.2 just came out and no BP 3.0.1 release?
He means BP 1.0.3 I would imagine. That error has to do with your memory limit in your php.ini. Try adjusting it to 96M.
Also…from what I’ve seen in 2.8.1 you can use the ‘activate’ link instead of the ‘activeide site wide’ link and it will activate sitewide automatically without errors. Somehow it discovers it is a sitewide plugin. Double check however, to make sure it is truly activated sitewide on a case by case plugin.
Jeff is right…either way it will not cause any issues.
Take a look at the first few lines of file bp-core-avatars.php in the plugins/buddypress/bp-core directory.
/* Define settings for avatars. [TODO] This will eventually end up as admin configurable settings */
define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V1_W', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v1_w', 50 ) );
define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V1_H', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v1_h', 50 ) );
define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V2_W', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v2_w', 150 ) );
define( 'CORE_AVATAR_V2_H', apply_filters( 'bp_core_avatar_v2_h', 150 ) );Currently they are not admin configurable yet, so keep not of the changes you make.
@DJPaul: I think you mean this feature?
Blogs:
* A quick post form via the theme
I was under the impression this would behave as the QuickPress from the wp dashboard. What chandersbs is refering to is a micro-blogging feature which usually is a short snippet of text no longer than 140 characters.
Unless I’m missing that in the roadmap, I don’t think “status updates” are part of bp 1.1, bicbw.
I would close this topic as the title indicate it is solved now and open a new ticket to get help specifically for that issue
I noticed this as well when using the “Site Wide activation link” at the bottom right of each plugin. Instead try activating like you usually would by just clicking the activate link. It will just activate Site Wide without error. This worked for me…
You ajax back end issues could well be other related and not related to the activation issue.
Awesome, thanks Burt, that api looks very handy…I’ll hold off development ’till 1.1, which was the plan anyway, since summer months are slow around here.
Thanks for the resource, I should check the docs more often!
Good idea r-a-y! It is summer vacation now, but I will definitely include some as our users start building their profile and groups with this plugin. These are some upcoming feautures:
* Construct the group_id, this allows us to switch blogs in the group and pull in the relevant information. (done)
* Construct the reverse blog_id, this allows us to have group based loops in the blog to display members, profile, activity etc based on the group id. (done)
* Allow blog registration at group sign up, much like how you can create a blog at site registration.
* Add members silently to the blog when they become group members.
* Different role caps depending on role within the group. By default members are authors, mods are editors and admins are admins.
* Allow the admin set role caps on group roles, e.g. the group admin only want its members to be subscribers. Or editors for a wiki type solution.
* Have an option to disable silent adding of members in case the group admin only wants (or needs) the group blog be accessible by him (or her).
* Create more templates. One we have now is a simple template that creates a menu from the page titles, which allows the group to behave like a cms.
We will also offer some blog templates to help make the blog look transparent to the information you display within the group so its transition from group to blog nad vice versa is seemless.
Thanks for your interests already.
Thanks Burt…I’ll give that a look. Currently we are extending the functionality a great deal as well and make it more inetegrated with the Group registration as well, but I’ll make sure to check that out to avoid duplication.
It is so much fun developing for bp…I come from a Drupal background and the coding for wp/bp is so much more refreshing and user friendly.
I imagine you have to use this function, which is a wp function for the current logged in user:
<?php get_current_user_id(); ?>and have that set the bp id so you can use that id in bp functions.
<?php bp_current_user_id(); ?>I tried a few things, but didn’t get any results unfortunately. Maybe a more experienced user could help. I remeber there are some answers in the forums as to how to pass the current blog user id as bp user id. Maybe do another search on that.

Eventhough this post was already 6 months old, this link should point you in the right direction:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-wire-loop/
But buddypress and all other bp related plugins still activate with fatal error message.
http://ywamheidebeek.org/temp/error-1.jpg
Also some template code will stop the page from completely parsing and consequently not the whole page will be loaded.
Hmmm…sanitizes the html…Here’s some links to the images:
PS. I did the whole process of a clean install exactly to the tee with WPMU 2.7.1 and it activates instantly with all themes showing correctly. So it is definitely something with WPMU 2.8.1. I don’t follow the version changes enough to know where the problem could be between 2.7.1 and 2.8.1.
Exact same problem as Agentmaximus.
Super clean install, only wpmu 2.8.1 and bp 1.0.2, nothing else.
chmod are correct as well. Upon activating I get this error:
<img src=”http://ywamheidebeek.org/temp/error-1.jpg” alt=”Activation error image” />
In the bp General Settings no bp member themes are available:
<img src=”http://ywamheidebeek.org/temp/error-2.jpg” alt=”Theme error” />
I’m glad I did not upgrade, but first tried a localhost install.
Any ideas?
Burt Adsit developed a plugin called “Community Blogs for BuddyPress”. The cool thing is that it adds users silently to the set blog by the admin.
I will look at his approach and see if it is at all possible to have moderators of the group added silently as well. And maybe members at a different level.
So an group admin would be the blog admin. Group moderators would be editors and group members, authors.
Probably an additional menu should be available to select what role group members get assigned. I thought about this as well, so good feature request
No, it only allows integration of WPMU blogs.
Also I packaged it very late, 2:25 am, so I hope I didn’t make any mistakes…as my eyes are turning squinty!
Okay…I pushed it out as a plugin, but be aware it is in alpha stage and untested.
As we keep developing hopefully it will mature more, but feel free to hack away at it yourself as well.
Greetz,
Marius
Download: http://oomsonline.com/projects/plugins/bp-groupblog.0.2.zip
My and my colleague developed a plugin that enables groups to have a blog associated with them. It is not user specefic, but at least allows groups to have a broader functionality.
It is in alpha stage and untested, so please do not use on a production server. It is our first bp plugin, so please be kind.
Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to make it in to a downloadable plugin. Please stay posted.
