Some feedback on BP 12.0.0-beta2 though please treat with caution!

Local Install – Local, php 8.2.10 – MySQL 8.0.16 – WP 6.3.1 – BP Version 12.0.0-beta2

a lot of plugins!!

Buddyx theme NouveaU template only or Thaim theme i use Legacy template.

Not a coder or developer.

Just a general interest in BuddyPress
Not in any way dependent. a hobby!

1) Bottom line – With BP Classic all appears good.

2) When BP Classic is not active plugins like buddydrive, buddypress-group-calendar, buddypress-group-email-subscription and bp-idea-stream no longer appear in Group Navigation.

However Q&A from Anspress still appears in Group Nav & works when BP Classic is not active

https://imgur.com/b8yu3fi yes-bp classic active

3) The plugins (with exception of BuddyPress Group Calendar) do appear in the Group Nav —> Manage. (see https://imgur.com/DCYvcOT)

4) Also another (non-buddypress plugin) that interests me a reasonably popular (codecanyon) directory plugin ‘Sabai’ – well, essentially all its data vanishes when bp-attachments is active in BP 12.0.0-beta2 without BP Classic. The message is “it seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”

5) If bp-attachments is not active (say replaced with mediapress or with mediatheque) in BP 12.0.0-beta2 the Sabai data is unaffected but the non updated plugins (mentioned in 2 above) are ineffective

6) In wp-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings options–attachments the last two choices (see pic https://imgur.com/00yZYna) if clicked to include the choice is NOT saved. Also buddydrive appears in p-admin/admin.php?page=bp-settings options

However everything INCLUDING bp-attachments appears to work safely & pristine with BP Classic active

bp-attachments not used with legacy template

Many Thanks for all the work on BuddyPress.

Please take a look at this plugin. It might work even with php 8.1!!!

[valuser]

Perhaps Check-ins for BuddyPress Activity by Wbcom Designs might suit.

[valuser]

Awesome! Thank you.

A slightly different approach might be to try WP Idea Stream & BP Idea Stream ( on github.com/imath/wp-idea-stream & github.com/imath/bp-idea-stream )

They allow front-end posting to a type of custom taxonomy – “Ideas”

These are plugins written by the current lead developer of BuddyPress.

Though not recently updated they, like Social Articles, appear to work perfectly.

IMHO they are pretty awesome – yet very simple.

They include the ability to assign categories & tags but also to ADD new tags.

Included also are specific related widgets and an in-built rating system.

They also work perfectly with this developers recently updated media management plugin Mediatheque at github.com/imath/mediatheque.

One big advantage is the ability to seamlessly integrate Ideas into BuddyPress Groups which for many is one of the defining features of BuddyPress.

[valuser]

Also, though not specificaly member orientated, this old WPMU -DEV plugin may still work or at least provide an idea as to how to go about it.

It was among a number of previously premium plugins (some BuddyPress) released ( as in use / fork at your pleasure) by WPMU-DEV a few years ago.

[valuser]

Other options could include

MediaPress

BP Group Documents

[valuser]

are also worth looking at.

& and if you would like to collaborate in a group to produce a document including attachments then take a look at BuddyPress Docs

[valuser]

Take a look at BuddyDrive . You can share files – though AFAIK NOT “to make them visible”

[valuser]

Thanks so much for all your work.

[valuser]

if you can contact This Guy he may be able to help you. I have no expertise whatsoever – he wrote the Networks + plugin & it does work. He was always most helpful to me. Anyway all the best – i just check in on this forum occasionally – if i can offer help i try to as when i was interested many (including busy developers) helped me.

This Link actually might be better as it addresses a very similar question

[valuser]

This Link MAY be of some help

[valuser]

and also the Codex link

You can have a separate home page for any group you want

Try making a page template called “front-slug-group-name.php” for each group (for which a unique home page is desired)

(“group-name” being the lowercase name of the group)

and put it in wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/groups/single/

as in

wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/groups/single/front-slug-group-name.php

[valuser]

This Page may help you to have a group custom home page

[valuser]

Great! That’s neat and thanks for sharing.

[valuser]

i am afraid i’m not a coder really, more a copy & paste coder!

if you just google (say) – example of a buddypress group home page

i am sure you’ll come up with a guide to making group home pages that’s if you are going down the Codex Link route

[valuser]

This plugin is unchanged over the past 6 years.
It MAY still work.
Worth a look anyway though it only deals with Activity character length (as in Twitter) and doesn’t at all cover the many options in @Venutius plugin above.

Codex Link

Another option that PERHAPS MIGHT work

Have a separate home page for any group you want

Try making a page template called “front-slug-group-name.php” for each group (for which a unique home page is desired)

(“group-name” being the lowercase name of the group)

and put it in wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/groups/single/

as in

wp-content/themes/your-theme/buddypress/groups/single/front-slug-group-name.php

[valuser]

This link could be useful! Potentially Useful Link

Each site has separate tables in the database.

[valuser]

Try this Old link from Brajesh

A Good Explanation

[valuser]

Great resource! Thank you

[valuser]

coming from left field ——> what about wp idea stream plus bp idea stream ?

bp idea stream is group specific

(at the moment -while the plugin directory gets re-organised – these are currently absent from the plugin directory)

front end creation with (discretionary) images, links, comments etc and back end editing if necessary
