for sure, that would be great, and the component itself, with basic information.
example:
group-wiki:
stdClass Object
(
[id] => group-wiki
[table_name] => tablename
[slug] => wiki
)Hi D Cartwright, thanks for writing this plugin, great stuff.
I have one question.
I can’t find anything about your plugin in the $bp .
I need to get the slug, and normally it is all written into the $bp.
Would it be a big problem for you to add your component into the $bp?
All other bp plugins I found have done it.
I guess other developers, who try to use your component will run into the same confusion.
In the beginning, we started to develope the plugin to solve just the problem of plugin configuration.
But when we start using it, we found out, its much more useful.
The plugin management we do not need anymore, because its enough to select the active_plugins option.
Like this its with all blog management plugins like cets_blog_defaults and so on.
In the end we deleted all the old plugins and just used the default blog plugin.
Actually we just concentrated on the options table.
Most plugins save there options in there.
In the moment we are adding (Setting Default Blog Articles and Default Blog Pages), because this is a important missing part.
Voted! 5*5, It is working!
:-Sven
So this sets defaults for plugins in WPMU blogs? Including for example Google API keys etc.?
Exactly like this
!
0.02-beta is out, I reorder and clean up the code and hopefully fix the bugs from Andrea_r.
I tested it right now with the following plugins and couldn’t get any error with the 0.02-beta version.
Plugin Management
Category Defaults
New Blog Defaults
hi Andrea_r, I´m also using the plugin wpmu-new-blog-defaults.
Like I know, it’s not offering the default options I tryed to handle with this plugin.
My plugin does not have the name blog-defaults. It is just for the options, because I was missing this part in the other plugins.
I have customers, who needs to have plugins installed on every new blog and this plugin just offer the possibility to setup all options of the plugins in one time only.
I build this because I have this situation already to often.
I will have a look into the bug. I can create the bug on a new install.
Sorry for this and thanks a lot for your feedback.
Hi D Cartwright,
I tried it with the $db variable, but I couldn’t figure out a way. See this post please

bump
Nobody any Idea?
I’m using Buddypress 1.0.3 with “File based” and “XCache”.
It seems all running very well. Less query’s and a faster page load.
But after some hours of use, the main Blog gets loaded with a theme from the user Blogs.
After I delete all files from the cache folder, the site is back with the correct theme.
How can I figure out this problem?
I really like to use the object cache. But I can’t with this bug…
@ All,
Please do not forget, in every developing community, where the developers try to find a way to stay confirm to the Open Source philosophy and also make some profit, it always comes to this point.
The idea of donating does not work. I developed free software by my self .
Some plugins were downloaded thousand of times, but Paypal Donation was always less.
Not more than going out for some beer!
Look what happens to bbpress where ck stopped at least after she got tired of doing things for nothing.
What I want to say is, let’s be careful not to spoil people, who are thinking a lot about our all problems.
Of cause for most of us our busyness is build on Open Source Software.
So we all need the freedom of GPL.
In my opinion premium memberships are a great idea of having the source still GPL. People need to earn money.
I like it much more as the idea of free software with ads. Then you need to pay for ads free one…
I immediately would pay premium memberships for bp-events and other software around buddypress. This will offer stable software, you have a quick support forum and you will find some other stuff like an extra bonus in the premium area.
I’m looking for a free future without ripping of peoples engagement.
Hi Boone Gorges, thanks a lot for your replay.
This is exactly the situation.
If you are in the group loop, it gives you back the group nav items depends on the settings and user rights.
But this does not help me.
For the SEO plugin I’m writing I need to know where the components could be.
It doesn’t matter, if there is a forum in a specific group or not.
There can be a forum so I have to SEO it.
For example:
If you have the group_document plugin installed, this plugin ads a menu item to groups, “Documents”.
So I have to SEO Group/Documents/.
If the group admin turns of group_documents, its just for this specific group. But in other groups there will be group_documents, and need SEO.
So for my case I am just interested in the components and where they are used.
I have nearly the logic. Just the groups are missing.
Lets have a look at the group_document component as example:
It’s not in $bp->root_components, so its not a root component
links, members, register, activate, search, blog, blogs, forums, groups, events, activity,
It’s in $bp->active_components, so it must be somewhere…
settings, activity, blogs, friends, groups, messages, wire, profile, status, events, group_documents, links, forums,
It’s not in $bp->bp_options_nav, so its not a profile component.
settings, friends, links, activity, blogs, groups, messages, wire, profile, events,
Also I can check if this component for example has a wire:
echo "<br>has a wire?<br>";
foreach ( (array)$bp->active_components as $key => $value ) {
if ($bp->$value->table_name_wire){
print_r( $value );
echo ', ';
}
}In this case (groups, profile, events, links) have a wire.
But how can I find out if this component will below to groups?
My idea was to look at the unfiltered group nav items….
Sorry for my terrible English.
It’s always my problem. I hope you understand what I tried to say, and one of you have an idea.
great!
Hi Magganpice,
I tested all of the chat plugins.
I feel, non of them are ready to use, or have ads.
Toksta is a service where you give away all your user data. Also it has ads.
Buddypress Ajax Chat is actually the open source chat from: https://blueimp.net/ajax/ and I think it’s overloaded. If I want something like this I use irc.
What I saw at M Website http://simplercomputing.net/bp/ is really impressing, and exactly what I’m looking fore.
Hope to get M back to the project.
In the codex:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/modifying-the-buddypress-admin-bar/
It says:
Any custom code that we create can be placed in a file called bp-custom.php. It gets loaded with all the rest of bp automatically by bp during each page load. If you don’t have one already then create one in /wp-content/plugins/. So we’ll pretend that we have done just that and that our three new functions are going to be loaded with the rest of bp.
but i needed to put the modified buddypress-admin-bar in the functions.php to work.
Is there any reason?
Will it be GPL License?
I think you have to pay for this plugin.
Is there a demo, to see it in action?
There should be a option at the admin site, to select standard forum view,or buddypress groups view.
For many people I think the bbpress integration into wordpress (make bbpress look the same as wp) is just to heave. So they jump to some other forum software.
In the and most of them are missing forum community features.
In the moment you have to rewrite bbpress plugins to use them in the puddypress bbpress installation. Or have two install with two admin sites.
A big hope becomes true! Activity and status updates is turned of at my installation. People just didn’t like it.
I think this will change now quickly!
Thanks a lot for this improvement.
hi swingJazz,
I sow you are using http://www.gigya.com/.
I want to know how is it working with buddypress.
Please give me a feedback.
I changed the mail address from noreplay to a real one.
That fixed the spam problem for me.
See this plugin:
Hi @ all, I build the Seo for Buddypress plugin.
When I saw this discussion, I decided to write an article about Seo.
(Sorry for my terrible English, I hope I will be able to bring my thinking on the point.)
First of all, Search-Engine-Optimization and Link-marketing is hart and long work.
If you aspect to do nothing and become a good ranking and search results,
forget about it.
The way google ranks content of a website is not explained in a small forum article.
But I will try to explain you the most important.
Seo is marketing ! Most keyword marketing.
So you need to have harmony between your Title, Meta Description and the Content of the page.
A clear title (for human understandable) and a real description, where the Keywords also are used in a understandable sentence.
Google knows English and many other languages. And it can realise if you wrote a real sentence, which is unique in a way and has something to do with the content of the page.
If your Title, Your Meta Description, Your Keywords (not so important any more)
are filed in correct, and the main keywords are in the title and the description and comes back in the content of the page, than google knows that this content is real and has something to say.
Google does not like generated titles and descriptions with no sense.
Or even just copying the content from the website in the description is not the way google like. Also google do not like if your description looks similar all over your site.
For example:
If we looking at the Profile Page.
If you always have the sentence:
This is a profile page from my social network for pet lovers.
Google will find this sentence with every users profile on your site.
So if you have 10 members, Google will have 10 times the same sentence.
Google won’t find this sentence attractive. It will think all your member pages are not interesting and will mark your site with duplicate description.
This will be very bad for you!
If you would write a user name in:
This is a profile page from “name”, one user of my social network for pet lovers, google would like this more.
But still the sentence is to similar. Just one word has changed.
All the other look the same. In the end google will mark your site with duplicate description
again.
So if you would have a sentence like this:
This is “name” profile page he has a “ped”. He likes “Interests”. He comes from “…” and is looking for “…”
Google would love every user profile.
Every body has different ped’s, hobby’s, comes from different places and so on.
In this fact google would mark your profile pages as made from a human.
This is real Search-Engine-Optimization
You see what I want to explain.
Title, Meta Description and Content must be meaningful!
For this I build the Plugin.
It gives you the possibility to make a unique meaningful Title, Meta description and keywords-marketing for all sites and parts of your Social Network.
For this you have to think about every part of your website to feed the needs.
The special tags in the plugin for example group-name, user-name, event-name are your place holders to create descriptions from your content.
This plugin is in an early state.
0.6.6
Buddypress changed allot in the last versions, and I had enough to do to keep it working.
In the next versions I will add all the special tags, who are needed.
If all the special tags are added, I will make a global configuration.
That means If you install the plugin, a most common Seo optimization will be there.
And the Special Tags will be used by default.
Then you have your full automatic Seo optimization.
But this would be never so effective, as doing it properly by hand for every part.
At the moment, buddypress does not add descriptions and keywords at all.
So if you use the plugin and have static descriptions because of the missing special tags in this early state, don’t worry.
Its still better to have a description then have no at all.
There are many other thinks I will integrate in the Plugin in the future, xml sitemap for all buddypress sites, alt tags for images and much more…
Also I will write some more articles about Search-Engine-Optimization. If needed.
I’m looking forward to BP-tricks.com from Bowe. Maybe I will have the chance to go deeper in Search-Engine-Optimization there.
I hope I could make thinks more clear!
great idea!
