pardon me for chiming in here but if i might i think mercime is trying to say that the roles you are referring to as “missing” should not be available on sub-sites since they are buddypress roles and should only ever apply to the primary blog. the list of roles you provided for the sub-site is the normal list of wordpress roles and is what you should be seeing.
In reply to: [Resolved] Where is activity stream privacy?well technically that’s an opinion albeit a valid one. I think for small communities privacy can sorta be a bad thing but once the community reaches a certain size i would agree it would almost be a necessity. Perhaps you should suggest a toggle option of some kind as a feature request for a future release?
In reply to: Are you a human pluginFYI a lot of those “bots” are humans no perfect solution exists some amount of human intervention will always be required to deal with spamming and splogging but…
i have been having a pretty good experience with WangGuard they are currently blocking about 90 to 95% of our spam registrations.
In reply to: [Resolved] WPMU BP 1.7(b) Sub Site Ajax URL Issuei believe that’s what he’s saying yes.
In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress.org issue…likewise 😉
In reply to: [Resolved] BuddyPress.org issue…there was some post @jjj made about having a different nickname from your shortname to avoid that but i think i might heard that no longer applies. you might have also been flagged as a spammer somehow, possibly, same thing happened to me once. 😛
In reply to: [Resolved] WPMU BP 1.7(b) Sub Site Ajax URL Issuei think maybe you should read the ticket remember this is beta 1 the issue you are having may already be known about sorry for not pointing that out in my first response for some reason i mentally skipped over the part of your post that said beta, i should have said that’s not normal for 1.6.x again sorry if i contributed to any added confusion.
In reply to: [Resolved] WPMU BP 1.7(b) Sub Site Ajax URL Issueidk i read somewhere at some point multisite didn’t like www setups but i can’t seem to find that anymore. like i said shot in the dark i’m not very knowledgeable about things such as php and ajax.
In reply to: [Resolved] WPMU BP 1.7(b) Sub Site Ajax URL Issuenice picture, this sounds like a bit over my head but just a shot in the dark maybe the www suffix or the .co.uk tld are causing trouble i know its not normal to have that problem.
there are plugins for bbpress not sure what else to say
In reply to: Member waiting list (beta invites)sounds like you’re gonna have to build it yourself not really a developer/programmer myself.
not sure why you say bbpress is not traditional it has plugins and works basically the same as any other forum. i have not had much luck in the past (granted it was 2 years ago) integrating other site wide forum software with buddypress
In reply to: A member site doesn’t show in member directoryno worries captcha doesn’t really work well enough to prevent the deluge of spammers/sploggers in my experience i have been having a good experience with WangGuard for user regs and Akismet works like a charm for comments but you can just turn both registration and commenting off site wide if you don’t want additional plugins.
In reply to: Member waiting list (beta invites)yes that’s precisely what i mean testing a new service is complicated and putting people on a waiting list is a good way to limit the complications and also allows you to scale up your server resources as needed instead of having to go from 0 users to a million overnight.
In reply to: Member waiting list (beta invites)capacity limitations
In reply to: Member waiting list (beta invites)to deal with limited capacity in some terms generally speaking.
In reply to: A member site doesn’t show in member directoryyou didn’t actually include the buddypress version you have bbpress version listed anyway if you create the site in network admin (under 1.6.4 anyway) and do not set a site title in the creation screen it will never be added to the directory maybe thats whats going on?
In reply to: What do I charge my client?i would echo everything hugo says and maybe add a bit more of my own perspective. First off whenever someone offers me equity as partial or full compensation you have to answer two fundamental questions #1 what is the value of the equity they are offering and #2 does the commitment they are asking from me allow for the proposed cash/equity split. Now those two questions may seem simple but the devil is always as they say in the details.
Unless you have a huge bankroll and can support your own expenses until the point the site returns the value you are hoping for if someone is asking for a full time commitment the answer to #2 will always be no.
If the offer is not for equity but just payment down the road then it really isn’t an offer at all he is asking you to extend him a line of credit. What happens if the site never makes any money? No matter how good the idea may seem, good ideas, businesses and sites die everyday for a lot of reasons as a designer and consultant i feel like it’s my responsibility (both for myself and my clients) to always assume the worst case scenario, remember there are now over a billion websites out there just having a great idea and strong execution is by no means a guarantee of success.
Your wall street client should understand these thing intimately and as hugo suggests the implied tone suggests he’s looking to lower his own risk at your expense and my antenna would be fully perked at this point if were you. Assuming you trust in the idea and the client and you getting some kind of equity cash split make sure the cash portion is something you can live with especially if you are giving up your existing full time job to start the project and think of the equity as being a bonus based on the success of the project.
I do not personally deal with contracts myself (unless a client or vendor requests one) i require deposits and stage payments for large projects but if theres equity involved you absolutely must have a contract as well as lawyer who has no relation to your client to look it over for you. you will also need to value the company in order to calculate what your equity would be worth. if there are no expenses other then your time then theoretically you should have 100% equity.
I’ll sign of with a quote hope it helps mindset wise.

In reply to: Buddypress site tracking misses most blogsbumping this if anyone could please give an opinion as to whether the issue I’ve found deserves a trac ticket i’d appreciate it again i’m not sure if this bug is already known or even exists in 1.7 but i couldn’t find anything in trac and id assume it’s still there in 1.7 if it was unknown in 1.6.x
In reply to: Does this feature exist?Will this be too expensive to design?
i think that will depend on your definition of expensive and the scope of the project. Also the experience of your dev would probably have some kind of impact there.
In reply to: Does this feature exist?I’m sure you can query the database to to accomplish what you are seeking but i’m also sure that’s well beyond my own capabilities. A decent wp or bp theme dev could probably help you more then i’d be able to.
In reply to: Does this feature exist?well i wasn’t referring to walls was referring to wordpress tags they operate like filters an example is here it shows member of my clients site gotgame.com that own the Atari 2600:
http://gotgame.com/members/?s=Atari+2600
hope that helps.
In reply to: Does this feature exist?yes all items entered into the various profile fields should be clickable and function similarly to the way tags do in regular wordpress.
yeah maybe that’s different now (haven’t tested 1.7b in multisite environment myself yet) doesn’t seem like it should do that.
In reply to: Downgrade from 1.7 trunk to what? And how to do it?neat link modemlooper thanks for sharing that.
