BuddyPress.org

@djpaul — are you saying that existing sites with transactional email systems will continue to work if they upgrade to 2.5 (we have clients using both SendGrid and Mandrill – via their recommended WP plugins)?

I’ve not encountered any issues locally.

My preferred setup is Chassis to provide local WordPress environment on vagrant; then adding BuddyPress however you prefer (from wp-admin or manually). Works great on OSX (although there are some general config changes with VirtualBox on El Capitan).

Hi Ollie,

if you provide contact details on your post, will be happy to send through some details on reference sites.

Cheers, Roger

Hi Ollie,

this is all achievable with a custom build on top of BuddyPress and WordPress.

We’ve built similar marketplace type sites on the platform in the past. BP is a useful base for the profiles in this scenario, but also the messaging, and the activity items (which can help with audit trails and transaction history).

However, 50 hours is…[Read more]

The default BuddyPress site setup only supports a single activity, members, groups directory page.

One solution is to create your own custom page templates, and embed the code for the activity, member and group loops in the template. You’d then assign it to your duplicate pages. You can read more about coding your own loops in the documentation…[Read more]

For point 3 — make sure you are deleting your users from the network admin panel, and not just removing them from a specific site using the site’s dashboard.

For point 4 — members will typically show once they have logged into the site

For point 2 — you need to be more specific about the problem you are seeing – rather than just saying “it…[Read more]

Please see https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6360 and associated tickets for a fix for point 1. It’s a known problem.

We’ve worked with the Premium version of WP-FB-Autoconnect on a number of sites. It does the job.

You could also take a look at the WordPress-Social-Login project on GitHub, which looks interesting.

Have you got pretty permalinks enabled? Do your other pages all load correctly (posts / pages / archives) with the correct permalinks?

You can add the following template to your theme to override how members profile are displayed: /buddypress/members/single/index.php

In that index.php you can include different template parts to display the user based on their role.

So, you’d have a template part to display writers, and a different template part to display subscribers.

Changing these titles isn’t the easiest thing, but BuddyPress does provide 2 ways you can do it. However, hacking core files like bp-activity-loader.php is definitely not one of them. [Never hack core files — have a Google if it’s not obvious to you why you shouldn’t]

Ok the 2 solutions are:

Use a language / translation file

You said your sites are private — have you selected the option to ‘discourage search engines’ in your site settings?

By default, comment synching won’t work on sites where search engines are discouraged. If so, you’ll need to filter bp_blog_is_public to return true to enable comment synching.

Correction — you can also use bp_group_name() by passing a group to it as its argument.

Take your group_id, instantiate a group, and pass it to bp_group_name():


$args = array(
'group_id' => $my_id
);

$group = groups_get_group( $args );
..
bp_group_name( $group);


For a loop like that you can use bp_has_groups() instead of groups_get_user_groups(). Is there a reason why you rejected that approach?

Then a my groups widget can have a simple core like this:


<?php if ( bp_has_groups( 'type=alphabetical&user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) : ?>

<ul id="my-groups-list">
<?php while ( bp_groups() )…[Read more]

or even easier for the displayed user id:

bp_displayed_user_id();
