BuddyPress.org

@stwc and everyone else. I’ve been experiencing problems with spammers constantly, I would get about 11 a day, (at the minimum). I’ve tried several things, reCaptcha, email activation, email domain blocking, etc etc and nothing seemed to help with the bot spammers. All they were doing was creating users with a few profile fields filled out, […]

@stwc (“My great worry these days is that the dev community is being compelled to fix problems with usability of core BP, as much or more so than extending what’s there.”)

That is my hope. Don’t extend. Fix problems first.

@stwc I’ve been keeping that old favorite link open in a tab in a separate browser i don’t use much so I don’t loose those, lol.

Here’s some more info on what @stwc‘s suggesting: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/customizing-labels-messages-and-urls/

@stwc You could do something like: http://buddypress.pastebin.com/5WBGMCuU

@stwc – Thanks for this code! Works great!

@stwc Agreed – I’m a developer – I can (mostly) make BP do what I want it to. I’m not a community builder because there is really no such thing. As a site owner, I can only offer up tools that I think my site needs to help it become a community. Once a community forms, […]

@Peterverkooijen said: @stwc, can you answer the question, what makes forums so great for collaboration? What can you do with forums that you can’t do with blog posts + comments? I’ll wade in here (ugh, bad idea?) with one major difference between forums and blog posts. On a typical WP installation, blog posts are written by site […]

@stwc, the collaboration point came from Sadr. Why would it be low on the list?

Defining ‘Community’, ‘Forum’, ‘Social network’ was discussed a bit earlier in the thread. My attempt is included here. We probably need to delineate better what we’re talking about.

OK, this was edited in to a previous comment (or I didn’t notice it), so I’ll have a go. @stwc, can you answer the question, what makes forums so great for collaboration? What can you do with forums that you can’t do with blog posts + comments? I don’t know why we started talking about collaboration, […]

@stwc, OK, your argument was irrelevant nonsense. Better?

@stwc, can you answer the question, what makes forums so great for collaboration? What can you do with forums that you can’t do with blog posts + comments? “Every time I interact with you, you immediately start insulting me. I don’t know why I bother.” Only because you insulted me first. (“That’s the single most ridiculous […]

@stwc 🙂 @mikepratt In that case, you will have to cap on “bp_core_get_root_domain”, as this is what used by the userlink. add_filter("bp_core_get_root_domain","my_site_url");//just removing the effect of BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG on the urls This will do things like change all the references of sub blog used by buddypress to point to main site not the…[Read more]

@stwc we’re on the same page. This is exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this morning. I guess we’re supposed to start with “BuddyPress Skeleton Component” and learn how to extend BuddyPress by creating our own plugins to add this kind of functionality. I just wish there was an online resource […]

@stwc as i stated above, i did not know how to do it through wp, i tried using the wp codex for creating a page template but it didnt seem to be working for me, so instead i used the code above which was provided by john james jacoby in a previous forum topic as the question […]

@stwc I believe all the Automattic are at WCSF so I doubt anything will get fixed this weekend 🙂

@agrundner @anointed @mercime @finni3 Thank you all 🙂 @stwc That’s a little more complex as I guess It involves two things(programmatically auto creation of groups(easy) and then Andy seems to be using Group Extension API,group meta for achieving the review functionality, and may be a modified plugin which already does the review and rating). I…[Read more]

@stwc I’m trying the same route….I am following Xevo instructions. After that I do need to follow your BLANG instructions? There is no bp-custom.php in the Plugin folder, so I have to create one with only your code above in it? I downloaded some .mo and .po files already, from an older version of Buddypress (that […]
