Hey all
I’m on the home stretch of getting my WP+BP site officially opened, and thought I’d post it here for critique. The idea of the site is a BP based community of buyers and sellers of crafts and “work-at-home-mom” (WAHM) made items, as well as hosting for WAHM shops using WP 3.0.1 in multiuser mode.
http://www.clothunderground.com
The Community: based on Buddypress. Pretty self explanatory.
The Shops: each shop is a child blog of the main site. I’m using WP Custom CSS to allow users to make cosmetic changes to the Blix theme, and eShop for the eCommerce solution. WordPress seems pretty overwhelming to my users, so I’ve also written a custom library of tutorials (in the footer of the main site pages). I haven’t yet found a plugin that makes the hosting term payment/shop creation process automated, so I’m doing that manually at this time.
Extras: I know that I haven’t really done much in the way of customizing the default BP theme, but it’s only because I’ve been busy doing functional customizations…
* The Street: I’m using the main site’s blog function as a classifieds post for members to buy/sell their used items on (a very popular feature for this type of audience). I’ve used Adminimize to limit what the users see on the add post screen, custom fields that allow them to enter URLs to 4 remotely hosted images (Photobucket), disabled file (image) uploading to keep my disk space, and another plugin to keep them from seeing everyone else’s posts in the admin panel post list.
* Member Feedback System: It’s important on a site like this that buyers and sellers can leave feedback for one another with details on how the transaction went for others to see. I pieced something together (see the ridiculous process here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/any-plugin-similar-to-ebays-user-feedback-member-rating-feedback) that seems like it will work beautifully! Check out the “feedback” button on my test user’s profile: http://www.clothunderground.com/members/test
* Customized Groups Page: I just pieced this together the best I could. Nothing else out there was working for my audience, who are more often than not coming from vBulletin based sites. Buddypress’ group/forum system is still uber confusing for them, but this was the best I could do.
* Sitewide Search: Using the Sitewide Search Pages plugin, I’ve created a child blog that pulls in info on posts published across the CU network. Shoppers are able to search using the form in the header, and browse a list of all CU shop items matching their search. There’s also a wordpress.com style tags page that displays all tags used in item posts sitewide, for a different shopping experience.
* CU Points: I’m using Cubepoints and CP Buddypress integration to award points to members for activity. Normal members can use theirs to buy anything that anyone (in a CU shop or on The Street) is selling for points, and shop owners can use points to purchase featured shop ad space or up to 20% off of their hosting fees.
Anyway, please check it out and let me know what you think! Small changes might be happening throughout the day, but it’s pretty much ready for the world right now!
Topic: @mentions not working
I’m new to buddypress and just tried using an @mention on my website for the first time. Typing @username creates a link to that members page but does not alert them via email, or message in their activity feed that they have been mentioned. I am using the ‘BuddyPress Usernames Only’ plugin to help simplify the member names…does this plugin cause issues with @mentions or are there any other known plugin’s that I may have installed that cause problems?? Thanks in advance.
BP Version 1.2.4.1
WPMU 2.9.2Just curious to know how plugin authors plan to take advantage of the new buddypress.org setup that @apeatling has so graciously provided us with. I’ve already activated forums and provided Donate email addresses for all my plugins (both extremely awesome ideas).
I still am unsure how my workflow regarding support will work. On the previous incarnation of bp.org it was pretty easy to watch the latest posts thread for mentions of your plugin (at least if it was mentioned in a subject heading). Now, unless I’m missing something, there doesn’t really seem to be a master feed of all forum posts. You can visit http://buddypress.org/support/topics, which approximates the old forum view, but that doesn’t show items that people have posted in the group forums devoted to specific plugins. Similarly, if you want to make an announcement about a plugin, you can do it in the plugin-specific forum (where it’ll be targeted, but only seen by those who remember to check their My Groups activity stream) or in the Third Party group or Creating and Extending groups (where it won’t be targeted but will be visible to far more people).
On on ef my BP sites, when I marked someone as a spammer, they still show in the activity feed as becoming a registered user. When I click on the name, it says only admins logged in can see this profile as it has been marked as a spammer. When I log out, and refresh the activity page, I can still see this spammer as “registered as amember” – but clicking on the name just redirects to my sites home page.
So I went to my other BP site to see if the same issues occur. Instead I have kind of an opposite problem. I started marking people as spammers and seeing that they did indeed dissapear from the activity page – cool. But then I marked someone as a spammer that I shouldn’t have. So I unmarked them as spammer, and they did not show again in the activity, and they do not show in the members list/page either, even after I unmarked them as a spammer.
FYI – not sure what’s happening, trying to debug the first site now to see if some files were missed during the upgrade process.
I’m trying to convert my theme to be buddypress compatible using the BuddyPress Template Pack. Being stuck on Step 3 I am confused on to adjust the html structure of the buddypress files to match my theme. Below I have included my themes page.php and buddpress /activity/index.php. Can someone show me an example of how the files should be integrated to best match your theme’s HTML structure.
