Peterverkooijen posted on the forum topic Quick question about "closed networks" in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 1 month ago
Buddypress has no privacy/security controls whatsoever. There is also no built-in way to consistently use real names and let people register with first and last name on sign-up, which will probably become a problem for a school application. Buddypress is basically an evolving hobby project by PHP programmers. You may have more luck with a […]

Sure, that is one place. But I still get different times in Sitewide Activity, a jQuery FullCalendar script that works fine in WordPress site without BP, etc. I am on customized BP 1.1.3 + WP 3.0, but judging from hnla’s comment the issue has not been fully fixed in the latest versions. Anyway I’m trying […]

I’m still on a customized BP version 1.1.3 + WP 3.0.1 and can’t upgrade to newer BP version for many reasons. The permalinks in Sitewide Activity, when someone posts a blog post, are usually wrong; the title of the post is correct, but it links to an entirely different post. Does anyone recognize that problem? […]

Where is the timezone set? Where in wp-admin? Where in the code? Where in the database? Is there no “master time” setting anywhere that overrides whereever else timezone may be set?

Why isn’t Automattic doing anything?! Privacy/security should have been a core feature.

Peterverkooijen posted on the forum topic Same user database in two website in the group How-To and Troubleshooting: 14 years, 2 months ago
I’d like to know if this is possible as well.
Would it be theoretically possible to write a plugin that synchronizes member databases between two sites? Or would copying the password from one to the other never work because of different encoding on different installations? Also security issues I guess…

I want to put the blog_signup_form directly on the profile page if the user hasn’t registered a blog yet. That is relatively easy to do, but it then shows up on other users’ profiles as well -> it should only show up on the user’s own profile. Is there a check like if ( is_my_profile() […]

@dralamir, if you want to put bbpress forums at the center of your site, I would just follow the official releases. My test install of BP 1.2.5 on WP 3.0 worked fine. My custom site is build around groups, group blogs and P2 front end posting and I want to keep develop it along those lines. […]

@ronia, yes, the latest version is 1.2.5, as far as I know, and 1.3 will officially support WP 3.0. So if you upgrade you have nothing to worry about. My problem is that I want to stay on BP 1.1.3, trying to get that to work on 3.0. The key to solve that is here . Putting this […]

I’m trying to run a Buddypress 1.1.3-based custom theme on WordPress 3.0. Most things work fine. The main problem is avatar upload. I’ve already made lots of progress copying bits of code from BP 1.2.5. Apparently a big difference between wpmu and WordPress 3.0 is where avatars are stored. This code in bp-core-cssjs.php….:…[Read more]

I see LincMe is back up. It was down the first time I looked. Looks very slick, more transparant than the default theme at least.
So what are you going to do? Just roll with the snowball. The Members. Groups, Forums mess only seems to have gotten worse between 1.1.3 and 1.2.5. I stick with 1.1.3 in the hope I can simplify and untangle them over…[Read more]

@lincme Kinda following up on this: “… once we’ve had a few ruffled feathers we can get down to sharing really useful ideas, eh?”
Do you use Buddypress on projects? Where? Which versions? How are you planning to upgrade to WordPress 3.0?
I use BP 1.1.3 on http://web2newyork.com and other projects. I’m currently trying to upgrade it to W…[Read more]

@lincme.co.uk, I think we basically agree, but your remark sounded similar to the standard defense of BP, that it is so great because you can do absolutely anything with it. My counter-argument to that unavoidably sounds rigid and over-important.

Thanks hnla. So I’m not missing anything then? I thought it could be a problem because I’m also missing the ‘Uploading Files’ section under Settings > Media, where you can set upload paths. I saw in the code that only shows up when multisite is active. Upload path is relevant for avatar upload, which is […]

I’ve upgraded an existing test site from WP 2.9.2 with BP 1.1.3 to WP 3.0. Followed all the directions. Most things seem to work OK, even with 1.1.3, but I don’t get ’Create A Network’ in wp-admin under Tools. Other multisite settings are missing as well. I have define(’WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); in wp-config.php. What am I […]

I have copied the the new bp_core_avatar_upload_path() and bp_core_avatar_url() functions from BP 1.2.5 into my customized BP 1.1.3. Avatars show up fine, but I can’t get avatar upload to work. It works in a clean install of BP 1.2.5 on WP 3.0. The working avatar upload form has this: I can’t figure out how this form […]

@alanchrishughes (“you keep talking about privacy”) To develop a real social network you want to encourage people to share their real identity, real name, post a picture, some personal information, etc. They will happily do that provided there is some basic privacy protection in place; only members can see their profiles, only friends can see certain […]
