@twodeuces: I modified your plugin code so that it depends only on BP, not WPMU. And I also made it so that it doesn’t matter if the site is single blog or multiblog.

PM me your email addy and I’ll send it to you.

Is this software based on true Comet technology or is it simply using the same name without actually using the actual Comet technology?

I ask because true Comet technology requires a server-side listener service, which isn’t possible with 99% of all hosting companies out there.

@mercime – If a person doesn’t want to let people created blogs, but only wants to create a social network (without blogs) then single blog mode works great for that. And in that case the site operator can still decide whether to be the only blogger or to allow other people to write blog posts.

Actually it’s been happening for at least 2 days that I know of.

The first mistake they’re making is building it from the ground up.

The second mistake they’re making is writing the code in Ruby.

How about enabling activity streams and then editing the theme files so that it doesn’t display stuff you don’t want to see?

Possibly due to browser page caching? Force a page refresh. In IE hold CTRL and click the reload button. In Firefox hold SHIFT and click the reload button. Browser cache is a site operator’s nightmare. Disable it 😉 even if that turns out not to be the problem in this case, because it will be […]

The easiest way is to view the patch at the link you posted, then look for the green lines and edit the relevant file to add what is different from the red lines. Then modify your template to take advantage of the new “order” parameter. That’s safer and more direct than trying to use the […]

Nobody is forcing you to do anything 🙂 * For clarity’s sake – everyone is completely free to learn to write PHP code and work with the WP / BP code. All it takes is a little time and focus. * If it were for sale their would be a fixed price… but there is […]

@Puanthanh – On your theme demo site you have a post titled “Duis eros est, mattis vel pulvinar id” – the image of that girl might be offensive to some of the ladies that might happen to see it 😉

Here’s a plugin that does exactly that:

Here’s something much less robust than what Jeff is creating. This one lets users control privacy settings of their profile information, and admins have no overriding control. Sort of like Facebook does, and privacy settings appear when someone signs up, plus when they edit their profile data. You might have to adjust or add CSS […]

@techguy – you might want to get a beta copy of WP 3.0 and work with that instead on this tweak – reason being that WPMU code is merging with WP code starting with WP 3.0

What version of PHP are you using on the site?
