Hey Mark
Have you looked at the WordPress Plugin ‘Admin Login As Different User’??
it may do this.

Hiya @dwenaus
Do you know if this creates an issue with authentication keys??
I have this in my bp-custom, and when an activation key is sent, the user does not require it, as a username and password will still work.

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 2 months ago]

I have tried various other things – but still lost.
I also hesitate ever bumping a post…

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Is there any ideas, the best place to filter this??
I have tried to ammend the bp-member-filter plugin, which in basic theory is what I need, but I am missing something crucial.

I get the sense, this is much more difficult than just a quick thing

there is also ajaxim (I think it is called). I believe it looks better.

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

This is perhaps something to put in a widget, but the sql would be where the trickery is. Or perhaps a custom function – which loops through your friends-friends.

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 3 months ago]

Everywhere – which is why it is proving a headache.

I am using a modified friends-only-activity-stream plugin, to also filter out group things – based on a user-meta-key setting.

The members and groups dir are my current problem. as I dont want to turn off friending, just allow people in the same ‘tribe’ see each other and friend each other.

This seems to be a more and more common request.
I am contemplating the use of groups (user groups), to segment users. And to make those “user groups” hidden, and a hierarchy of the whole site.
It could be described as roles, but within these ‘user groups’ I still require all the current functionality.
This problem may not exist if a privacy plugin, allowed control over some sort of ‘user type’.

Nice easy way to do it via .htaccess.
This can even allow you to have specific site testers also who can use the site.

@troy I started looking at the notifucations and invites, got part of it working.
But other projects have taken priority. I will be back to it soon though

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@grundner mentioned the following in another thread – as things to be achieved by this – plugin/hack/mechanism
“* Members will have to fill in their profile details for each site. I believe that’s the case… unless that can be shared, too?
* A member’s Friends and Activity will only be logged for that sub-domain and won’t aggregate itself sitewide (good and bad)
* Each sub-domain would have to be upgraded separately”

If it is one install – there should be no issues with profile details across sites.
And each sub-domain would not require upgrading.
And cookies should also not be a concern

So being that there is a field when adding content to the activity_meta which includes the blog number (usally 1), and there is an option in the activity table to ‘hide_sitewide’, what needs to happen to make it work across blogs.

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

There are parts of this theory that sound very feasible.

Even the cookie could be no issue, as I used a similar technique once (several years ago – like more than 5), to hook together a CMS called Nuke [remember that one], and satellite installs of osCommerce – is a shopping mall type arrangement.
Didscussions need to go to the other thread though…

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

so are we talking about a way of having a global userbase, which is segmented across sites??

A bit like how it works on ning.com???

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

@silversurferes do you have a calendar in mind??

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

I sort of got it working @derekbolden. But needed to do much in the way of some css stuff, and a few other minor changes. Hopefully that was not because I have the Hybrid theme.
I do not have calendars working. and I have not worked out how the forum integration works.
But check out my hardly used site – suckitupprincess.net – which has the events in it – with two events

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

the wp-fb-connect plugin works with buddypress…

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

had to hard code it,

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

Does anyone have this working on their site – and creating a “became a registered member” to the activity stream??

I am thinking I need to go hunting for some hooks and adding it perhaps

V

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 7 months ago]

so has anyone looked at this further?? there is a lot of change to make it “sort of” work

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

Hi @thekmen – do you have a widget or “something” that would allow an activity stream on the home page?? I have a modified version of the them at http://www.suckitupprincess.net, and would love to put the last x activities on the frontpage…
The site is not far from being launched Just a key feature I am making work first

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@xberserker You are wanting a way to donate points to a specific user?? So when you go to a user (who is a friend perhaps) it shows a donate button??
I dont use donate – but cant imagine this would be hard to do…

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

@Tosh I have it on a Single WP, with all the code in bp-custom.php (as at some point I wanted to have an admin tool that allowed changing point values for each item). Site is http://www.suckitupprincess.net
I also have the Malleable them in use, and wp-fp-connect… It is my hobby site, and one day I will put it in action. Work keeps me busy though

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

I added the points next to the users name in both the side bad, and also on the persons profile by using the following in my bp-custom.php.

Does anyone know the hooks for when someone ‘Likes’ something?

function my_bp_add_cppoints_display_my_points()
{
if ( is_user_logged_in() )
{
if(function_exists(‘cp_displayPoints’)){
echo “Points: “;
cp_displayPoints();
}
}
}

add_action( ‘bp_sidebar_me’, ‘my_bp_add_cppoints_display_my_points’ );

function my_bp_add_cppoints_displaypoints()
{
if(function_exists(‘cp_displayPoints’)){
global $bp;
echo “Points: “;
cp_displayPoints($bp->displayed_user->id);
}
}

add_action( ‘bp_before_member_header_meta’, ‘my_bp_add_cppoints_displaypoints’ );

[@vee_bee Participant 14 years, 8 months ago]

and the second fix!!!

Need to make sure WP_POST_REVISIONS is define (which is normally done in wp-config.pgp or wp-settings.php), I put it in buddypress-quickpress.php

if ( !defined(WP_POST_REVISIONS )) {

define( ‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false );

}

Now it does the trick…. V
