Group api is the proper and easy way. Once you understand it it is not too difficult.

BuddyPress overides urls and such. Regular WordPress plugins do not always take BP into consideration. BP 1.7 should work better with WordPress plugins as it uses page.php to display content instead of hijacking urls

bp_get_profile_field_data( array(‘user_id’=>$user_id,’field’=>$field ));

So basically any average perso ninstalling Buddypress will not have Flood Control, but a savvy developer can scratch his head and go fix Flood Control i

Exactly, if you fix it and can submit a patch then you help open source projects. 😉

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Probably a function that didn’t get finished.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

You will need to backup database, download wp-content folder, delete everything including database, create fresh database, install wordpress and buddypress manually, upload the contents of your downloaded wp-contents folder, import saved database backup.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

if you drag a field onto another field group tab you can move fields to other sections.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Use globals to access bp

`function my_get_logged_in() {
global $bp;
$user = $bp->loggedin_user;
return $user;
}`

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

If you hover over field box the pointer is a cross you can drag the whole field to rearrange

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

If BP is active you do not need to re init. If it is active all it’s functions are available.

my butt is getting fat just looking at your site 😀

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Awesome, but you can not use the BuddyPress logo in non-official applications.

BUddyPress and bbPress both use the slug forum. Change bbPress forum slug to something else in the bbPress settings

`a.bbp-author-avatar img {
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
}`

Try this css to force it smaller. It could be a gravatar issue

If you are serious about running your own hosted site then you will need to have a local install to do all your hacking/testing. If a plugin has not been updated to your install version DO NOT USE it unless you can code and fix problems. WordPress and BuddyPress works together OOTB but when you start adding in unknown code it can and will break.

Why do you think ning charges? They host it and make sure the features work. That’s the price. WordPress.com same thing. You pay a small fee to not have to deal with hosting and features breaking.

BuddyPress currently has no hosted solution so my comment about having a local test environment is they way to make sure new features/plugins wont kill your site.

Also, you need to protect user data and having bad plugins that could leak user data is a site killer. They will loose trust, delete and never return.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

I wouldn’t worry about them.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Alot of plugins do not work on touch screen devices.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

`
[import_export] => 1
[manage_options] => 1
[manage_themes] => 1
[manage_plugins] => 1
[edit_users] => 1
[manage_tags] => 1
`
these are WordPress options.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Yes.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Don’t test plugins on a live site. Use a local install. Are there tables left behind from plugins? You can drop these. You can also export all the bp- wp- tables, wipe out the db, re install and then import the tables back in.

I would first go through db and find anything unusual. It could have been a connect plugin.

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

Or

bp_get_profile_field_data( array(‘user_id’=>$user_id,’field’=>$field ));

[@modemlooper Moderator 13 years, 9 months ago]

bp profile field data only works inside members loop

Use outside loop
xprofile_get_field_data()
