So I have been appointed head website tinkerer for our MMORPG guild. As such, I wanted a good platform for our website, and of course came to WordPress.
One of the most important features of the site will be forums. Given what i read about buddypress / I think that would be an ideal solution:Basically what i want is to create forums, where part of the forums are
– accessible to the general public
– a large group of forums for guild members
– a group of forums for moderators– a few forums for Guild leaders. (these are people form a ‘group’ moderators)
General public
People who are not a member of my blog, or who are not logged inGuild members
People who are member of my blog and are logged inModerators
People who are guild members and are also in a group [moderators]Guild officers
People who are guild members and are also in a group [Guild officers]A [guild officer] is always a [moderator]
A [moderator] is not always a [guild officer]The confusion for me is how to set it up.
I am quite sure, i could do this with a forums for groups set up,
but a small survey among guild members is that they do expect to have one long list of forums. (similar to forum software of BBphp or SMF) with certain forums not visible depending on group membership. They are used to this method,The idea of this page being like:
[General public]
– Anouncements
– rules
[member forums]
– Introductions
– marketplace
– helpdesk
– fun stuff
[moderator forums]
– guides
– discussions
[guild officer forums]
– guides
– discussions
– projectsI am not here to start arguments, or flame wares, just want to see if i can set it up with the software i prefer to use, or if i have to move on to another platform
I also am a bit confused about having to install the latest bbpress version additional to buddypress, or if that is not required/usefull.
I have been reading, searching about the topic, but i might have used the wrong keywords. so a point in the right direction might help already

Hi
Would like to use Contact Form 7 to grab some basic user information, than pass the collected data to the buddypress registration form.
Ex. Contact Form 7 grabs username, name and email than once the user clicks “send”, he is forwarded to the buddypress registration page (that register.php), where the respective values will be passed over (as previously grabbed by the previous form) and the username, name and email fields will be prefilled with the values previoulsy grabed by contactForm 7.
What do I have to do so that register.php grabs the values of those fields, send by “contact form 7”?!
Thanks!
Just curious if a Child Theme is always a Must Have when you’re building or making your own theme BuddyPress proof.
@jjj says in his article,
http://buddypress.org/2012/04/the-default-theme/Surprise! bbPress already works this way, and it’s not far off for BuddyPress to inherit this new functionality, too.
I understand they way bbPress and also Jigoshop works, just copy-/paste some template from the plugin directory into your (own) Theme and Boom it’s done. You’ve got a safe theme that will not be overwritten by Plugin or WP updates.
Here they talk about making a Child Theme right from the start, and if you’re already have a Child Theme you should Go to step ….
It doesn’t say If you like to use Twenty Eleven (without Child) it’s okay.So does it works without Child because i’m not a fan of it, i often duplicate and rename the Twenty Eleven and start editing stuff without making Childs.
Topic: User blogs not created
Just installed buddypress, created a couple test users with blogs. When try to access those dashboards and blogs I’m getting, Firefox can’t find the server, and Oops! Chrome can’t find testblog.somedomain.com
First steps troubleshooting?
The only option from BuddyPress that I want, for now, is the group e-mail subscription. I have Pagelines pro as my theme, and maybe they just aren’t compatible, but I really hope you can tell me otherwise. My site is not posted yet but will be in a few weeks time. I love your personalized subscription options for my followers, but I just can’t get anything to work. All I want is 1 link for the subscription page, to sign up, subscribe, unsubscribe, choose categories to follow… please help me with a 1, 2, 3 step to creating this link and set-up for my site. Thank you very much for your time, Alicia
