Thanks for the quick response:

Can you let me know where I check the BP_ROOT_BLOG?

Yes, site url for Interviews is set to: http://interviews.2live2run.co.uk/

BUT, similarly for other blogs on the site:

training blog – site url is set to: http://training.2live2run.co.uk/

features blog – site url is set to: http://features.2live2run.co.uk/

This is not an option I’ve specifically configured…

I also notice that in the blog info section (site admin … blogs … features … edit)… that the checkbox: Update ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ as well is ticked.

What are my next steps?

p.s. no, I’ve not setup any fancy domain mapping

@burt, thanks for the quick response

I’ll hopefully get it downloaded this week, and running on a site we already have out there… speed up the testing for you!

Cheers,

Roger

Hi,

we are about to tackle the same problem:

– Your solution of effectively duplicating groups and members as categories and businesses is one we are considering

We are also considering:

– Subcategories of members (one for individuals, one for businesses), and similarly subcategories of groups

– Burt’s new plugin to tag groups, members, etc. is interesting. i.e. a member could be tagged as an individual or a businsess. A business could also add their category(accountant, etc.) as a tag, bypassing the need to use groups to do this

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hi Burt,

this looks excellent for a new project we have starting.

Is there any way of restricting the tags that can be applied? i.e. the administrator / developer defines the list of allowed tags, and the member has to chose tags from that list.

Members on the new project will be businesses, and we want to be able to categorise them, i.e. as Accountants, Restaurant, Newsagent, Bank, etc. We have about 20 categories in total.

Cheers,

Roger

Burt, much appreciated… I’d found that other thread and implemented the filter.

I’m now wondering whether to upgrade all my BP install; I’m working on files I downloaded about 3 months back.

@burt:

I’ve written a plugin (essentially your logo replacement code), and put it in the mu-plugins directory, but it doesn’t seem to be getting invoked?

Am I missing something obvious?

My file is called 2l2r-plugins.php and sits in the mu-plugins directory:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: l2r adminbar logo

Plugin URI: http://www.21inspired.com

Description: replaces the adminbar logo

Version: 1.0

Author: Roger Coathup

Author URI: http://www.21thoughts.com

*/

function l2r_adminbar_logo() {

global $bp;

echo '<img id="admin-bar-logo" src="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_src', site_url( MUPLUGINDIR . '/2l2r/images/l2r_home.gif' ) ) . '" alt="' . apply_filters( 'bp_admin_bar_logo_alt_text', __( 'BuddyPress', 'buddypress' ) ) . '" />';

}

remove_action('bp-adminbar-logo','bp_adminbar_logo');

add_action('bp-adminbar-logo','l2r_adminbar_logo');

?>

Hi Burt,

your plugin works excellently… thanks.

On a related note…

if the user attempts to login with an incorrect username / password, they are thrown to the WP login screen.

Is there a straightforward way to keep them on my BuddyPress login screen?

Cheers,

Roger
