BuddyPress.org

What about 3.0 compatibility? I’m testing BuddyPress with WP3 right now and some plugins already work, some don’t. Album+ installed fine, but I can’t seem to find a way to enable albums in my group, so I’m guessing something isn’t working.

I find it a bit annoying that the developers are so hesitant to speak on the matter, as it’s clearly a reappearing debate. Should that be interpreted as indecision, still? Last I heard, bbPress was going to be rewritten into a native WordPress plug-in, taking advantage of custom pages and all that jazz. mmMMMm, smooth. […]

“Automattic needs to go back to the basic building blocks – users, posts, comments – and make sure they are solid, remove redundancies etc. And then develop different ways to connect those elements and display the data in different user interfaces; blog, social network, forum, microblogging, social bookmarking, etc “. Just to be clear, on this acc…[Read more]

Awesome, loving it. Will donate $20 to a stable version. Flexibility would be great, but it’s not major imo. I’d say just get it done, and consider the more lofty goals for a 2.0.

@andrea_r I don’t want a forum, I want BuddyPress, just the way it is 🙂 The extent of “forum-capability” BP delivers fully satisfies my needs. Maybe I’ve phrased myself badly in earlier posts.

What I want is the ability to replicate forum-like functionality within the boundaries of what WordPress+BuddyPress can be extended to. I believe social networks can be the next generation of collaborative forums. That is the type of…[Read more]

@andrea_r You say BuddyPress is not a forum. Before it integrated bbPress into the core, I would agree. Now, BP better put that script to excellent use, or else it’s just bloat. The fact that bbPress is ‘in between places’ these days has made many of us bbP enthusiasts turn to BP as it’s successor, since […]

The list of browser-based Jabber clients on xmpp.org seems to have been updated:

I found a handful of great-looking projects here now I never knew existed! If someone starts a collaboration with one of these projects and creates a BuddyPress Jabber chat, I for one would be all over it.

My ‘social network’ in a nutshell: Give us the tools and we make the content.

Some great points in this thread. I think the whole concept of the ‘activity stream’ is best migrated into a per-user basis. By that I mean, I get to see the activity I care about. Groups that I follow, threads I’ve started or replied to (or even viewed often, as a sort of auto-subscribe), the […]
