BuddyPress.org

I’m pretty sure this is already the way that BuddyPress works, with the exception that if you’re running multisite/network mode, only *super* admins have this ability.

After creating a new group and completing the coniguration to make it public, I cliecked “continue” and got this error.

“Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::WPDB() in /home/name-redacted/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-forums/bp-forums-bbpress.php on line 144”

Suggestions on how to fix, please?

thanks for you help Roger Dodger. couldn’t get the peice of shit to work, not enough documentation in the buddypress… wiki… function list? not sure what it is, but its not helpful. Anyways i used drupal to achieve the same thing in 20mins

We purchased the basic wp-member plugin to test it out. We have found the process very frustrating.
We have given up and will be requesting a refund.

Re: wp-member
No support or docs for buddypress – they refuse to help unless you purchase support tokens.
Not open source – the plugin is encrypted and requires ioncube installed on your host.
No information is give on how the plugin works with the database so trying to add functions has proved practically impossible and basically not worth the trouble or expense.

Save yourself the trouble and avoid wp-member

We are about to try http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/supporter/
This plugin actually looks way better and the docs are far more helpful.

So enthused with that fact, Boone stated it twice

This feature is coming in BuddyPress 1.3, which is coming quite soon.

Buddypress needs to do a better job of documenting things. Its like the give you a little idea but then get bored and forget to tell you the rest.

Well I think that Elgg is probably more suited for what you’re trying to achieve. The other option is to completely move across to wordpress & buddypress and convert your current site. Not sure how much work would be involved though, depends on how big the site is I guess.

Roger, This is the code I have thus far….

add_filter(“gform_post_submission_1”, “set_post_thumbnail_as”, 10, 2);
function set_post_thumbnail_as($entry, $form){

//getting first image associated with the post
$post_id = $entry[“post_id”];
$attachments = get_posts(array(‘numberposts’ => ‘1’, ‘post_parent’ => $post_id, ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’));
if(sizeof($attachments) == 0)
return; //no images attached to the post

//setting first image as the thumbnail for this post
update_post_meta( $post_id, ‘_thumbnail_id’, $attachments[0]->ID);

// update bp activty stream content.
$activity_id = bp_activity_add( array( ‘id’ => $post_id, ‘content’ => ‘$attachments’ ));
}

I understand the activity post id is different from the wordpress post id? How can I get this activity post id. Also is it okay I am using the post-submission gf filter? Is it just this simple with the correct activity add code?

Can you please help me? I’m really stuck and almost thinking of scrapping the project just because I suck at buddypress and PHP.

Your site is not related to the search on this website. Closing thread.

Please would you clarify what exactly you mean by “[posts] in BuddyPress”? When I read that, I immediately think of writing blog posts, which is part of WordPress core.

my search button finds everything apart from the text you type in http://www.ihubbusiness.co.uk

Is anyone out there working on this anymore?

better late than never

How can I make wordpress shortcodes work anywhere in buddypress?

Sorry I would search for it myself on buddypress however the search is broken..just returns me to the home page.

The form gets saved by the gravity forms, however this happens before the thumbnail gets set. Could you possibly help me out with some code I can add to my post submission filter? The documentation for buddypress really sucks… Thanks Roger

It’ll be fixed very soon! https://buddypress.org/2011/07/site-maintenance-week-of-july-4-2011/

I had the same problem with the wordpress admin menus in ie9 and online (linux) sites but not on local (vista) sites. Once I viewed and played with the menus in firefox they worked as expected in ie9…. I hope others using the same sites would not have to go through the same process…

Also the buddypress upgrade didn’t show up unless I ran add new plugins first….
