[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 5 months ago]

At the moment I have it running on one of my test sites.
Please have a look at http://g5k.de/

1.2.1 beta is now ready for WordPress and WordPress MU without Buddypress.
I added new meta fields for post and pages.
New Version is compatible with wpSEO and All in One Seo.

Please do not use this thread. Its closed!

The new support forum can be found here:

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

The plugin is not 100% update friendly, if I disable buddypress the site crashes.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_core_load_template() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-132/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-core.php on line 277

I fixed this bug for my version with if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) )
`
/**
* Use this only inside of screen functions, etc
*
* @param string $template
*/
function bp_links_load_template( $template ) {
bp_links_setup_theme();
if ( defined( ‘BP_VERSION’ ) ){
bp_core_load_template( BP_LINKS_THEME . ‘/’ . $template );
}
}
`

and wp single:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function is_site_admin() in /data/wwwcust/sv3-155/html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-links/bp-links-admin.php on line 20

I changed:
`
if ( !is_site_admin() )
return false;
`
to
`
if ( !current_user_can(‘level_10’) ){
return false;
}

`

@firetag +1 please make a plugin!

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Hi Mr. Maz,

thanks a lot for all your great work at Buddypress. Your link-plugin is great.

Last weekend I was playing around with a friend on the link-component, and we had some ideas and questions, we would like to ask you:

1. How about adding sub-categories?

2. Is there a way to add custom-fields to links?

3. It would be great if your plugin would recognize the most common formats, like *.pls, *.mp3 … and display a play button for them.

Are you planning to add these features in the near future?

Thanks, Sven

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

mm, I do not see a reason why not.

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks for testing,

@gregfielding @stwc

blog creation bug should be fixed in the 1.0.10 beta version

@dennis_h

I can not create this bug… which version has it been?

@stwc

Thanks for all your help!

Please try to add the tags for your forum front page to the General Seo / Main Blog / MAIN BLOG HOME

If the $bp variable has all needed values, It should work.

That’s how I check, If forum special tags are available:

if(isset($bp->forums) && $bp->current_component  == 'forums' || $bp->current_action == "forum")

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

version 1.0.8 is out now, with a lot of bug fixes.

And I am really happy to read this article, have a look:

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks a lot

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks etiviti (rich!),

I’m not in the loop, I need it in the header.

Thats what I tried:

$forum_template = new BP_Forums_Template_Forum( 'newest', groups_get_groupmeta( $bp->$current_component->$current->id, 'forum_id' ), false, 1, 1, 1, 'all', false );

Is there a way to get the forum topic by slug?

I can get the forum topic slug from:

$bp->action_variables[1];

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@ guigoz

You need to go to general seo and update one time the general seo for the plugin to work.

After this the Blog problem should disappear.

I will make this more clear in the next version

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@All Thanks so much for your feedback.

I like to make all the template system with the special tags bug free before I add new options. Next step will be to add the missing seo parts.

What I have:

1. Add and edit post and page meta data in the WordPress post and page edit screen. (see replay from Anton and Modemlooper)

2. Meta data letter and word counter, and an option to automatic cat the meta data after ‘n’ letters or words. (Google does not like to long titles / descriptions or to many keywords)

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@stwc

I was to much in a hurry last week.

I will look into the %%forumtopictitle%% more proper on Monday.

Seo For Buiddypress is still in beta.

But with the great testing of the community bugs will disappear soon and the version becomes stable

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@guigoz,

It should be under “General Seo / Main Blog / MAIN BLOG START or MAIN BLOG HOME.

It depends on the Page you selected as Home Page.

If your start page is the activity front page so you need to use MAIN BLOG HOME.

I will change the names and label it more clear in the next version.

@Modemlooper

%%forumtopictitle%% still does not work right…. I was to much in a hurry last week.

I will look into the forum tags more proper on Monday.

@Erich73

Hi Erich, you do not need to be afraid of anything.

There is no BLACKSEO in Seo for buddypress.

The only thing, the plugin does, is to offer the possibility to enter Title Description and Keywords for every specific part of your site.

This means the Buddypress pages, the main blog posts, pages and the mu blogs with posts, pages and so on.

There is no way to enter this important informations in a Buddypress environment. Thats the reason of the plugin. It does not deal with some illegal seo tricks.

Just what Google expect you to do.

I wrote a article on my blog, exactly about the need of seo in Buddypress

http://sven-lehnert.de/en/2010/01/02/seo-and-link-marketing-in-buddypress/

@Travel-Junkie

If you have a small blog, and your members are more or less fans of your blog or in a way followers, I think you are right.

But if you have a commercial site it looks different.

For example a social network about a town, with the artist of the town and the events of the town should be seo.

Every Member is a different artist, and goggle should know what kind of artist.

Also the events of the city, I like to find, and so they need seo.

Another example: I’m just developing a site for a political party. Thy want to have a social network to make communal politic.

For this they use Groups and GroupWiki.

Also every politician will have its own profile and blog. Of curse the politician profiles and all the rest need seo.

Otherwise thy would do their politics undercover.

I could give you aplenty of examples for what kind of community seo in buddypress is needed.

@Modemlooper

One of the main reasons I even want to use this is to stop BP from adding Title | Component | Title. Most RT an share buttons pull this title and it’s not very user friendly.

This is 100 % seo!

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

use add_filter('bp_page_title', 'your_new_function',0)

What is wrong with SEO for BuddyPress?

It is an easy way to organize your title

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Interesting! I have a nearly finished version from Erwin, I start fixing bugs and adding the calendar view.

But I won’t have time to continue before next week.

I have set up a test site today http://www.g5k.de, but this is all early beta.

If someone have done a complete working rewrite for 1.2 that would be fantastic and save a lot of work..

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@Modemlooper

you are right! Sorry for this bug. I just tested it with one forum topic.

new version 1.0.5 beta is out now. Should be fixed now.

Thanks alot for testing.

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

New Version 1.0.4 with special tags for forums is out now.

%%forumtopictitle%% Replaced with current forum topic title

%%forumtopicpostername%% Replaced with current forum topic poster name

%%forumtopiclastpostername%% Replaced with current forum topic last poster name

%%forumtopicstarttime%% Replaced with current forum topic start time

%%forumtopictime%% Replaced with current forum topic time

%%forumtopictext%% Replaced with current forum topic text

I had some problems to get the values of the forum:

The instance of the $forum_template is only initialized in the forum loop in the template. So I had to initialize a second object, that decreased the performance a bit.

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

You are right, I forgot the forums.

I will add %%componentforumtopic%% for the forum topic title and %%componentforumtopictext%% for the entry.

What else should be in? Any idea?

%%current_component%% for the current component

%%current_action%% for the current action

I will have time for this at Tuesday.

Thanks a lot for testing!

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Hi Anton, I found the bug. Version 1.0.3 beta should fix it.

I missed to close a </strong> tag in the navigation.

Thanks for reporting

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

@ Bpisimone, Thank you, I have removed the label tag.

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

sorry, done

[@svenl77 Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

Thanks
