hm. don’t really see it as forcing a blog on a user if the intent of the site is to have a blog? The intent for sites like tumblr,posterous is to have a blog come standard, the user knows that. You have to remember not all sites using wpmu/bp are the standard default blog setup you are thinking of. I can see why you would say that, I wouldn’t create new blogs either..but the intent here is building a website that revolves around niche blogging…so users know what they are getting from get go. hmm. think again of posterous, tumblr, you get a blog at signup not to choice to create a blog or not. it just comes standard. user chooses to use it or not afterwards.

@jivany oh yea wpmu. so all i need to do is turn on the create a blog option and all my members will automatically have blogs….and they’ll have non-editable username domains? Sounds too good to be true.

my questions were more for getting legacy members outfitted with blogs after the fact. I don’t want to turn on the create a blog option just yet, i’m actually working towards bundling the option into 1. User signs up and they auto have a blog with their user name as their domain. I know i could remove the “just a username” button leaving the gimme a blog and that I think auto gives the user a blog with username as domain. that’s all good…

I’m refering to mass editing all those older members to give them blogs, without having to do it 1×1 or asking them to do it. there’s a couple of premium plugins that sound my do the trick but I just don’t know if they create blogs for existing members.

I’ve been to the mu forums…just trying to see if anyone here has tried something like this.

How to auto activate blogs for all members by their username?

How to auto activate blogs for all members by their username?

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Try starting with a premium City Guide theme from Woo themes. http://www.woothemes.com/2010/03/cityguide/ and merge it with buddypress. That theme is already a big plugin itself combine it with bp for something pretty cool. Then there’s this business directory plugin that you could throw in there for the complete package – http://themestown.com/wp-business-directory-manager. Its been on my list of things to do to make a hybrid of those three. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Salu2

Still not able to find a way to do this, I’ve only come across this thread from a while back.

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/displaying-custom-fields-in-home-widgets

My theme uses custom fields to set an image in a post. I don’t insert it in the post editor. So these images don’t get pulled into the activity like they would if they were inserted.

<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID,”custom-field-name”, $single=true ) ; ?>

[@nahummadrid Participant 16 years, 2 months ago]

Something like this? I got it to work this way in a custom page template but not in the activity index. any help…on getting it to work in the activity dir where its bp_ajax_querystring( ‘activity’ ) and some other differences like the filter select.

<?php



$searchterm = $_POST['searchterm'];



?>



<form NAME "form1" METHOD "post" ACTION = "<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/search">



<input TYPE = "TEXT" id="whats-new"   Name="searchterm" value="" >



<INPUT TYPE = "Submit" Name = "Submit1" VALUE = "Search Activity">



</form>



<?php if ( bp_has_activities('search_terms=' . $searchterm) ) : ?>
