Hi Rob, thanks for sharing how you’re using BuddyPress. It sounds like a really good use of the software

I was just poking around for a way to mass import groups into my three buddypress sites.
I would like to create 100 groups on one install, and then import those groups into my other buddypress sites without having to manually create them one by one, 100 times, on three sites. Does anyone have any idea if this is possible?

If your current host is jacking your rates, it will destroy Godaddy imho

You might check out this group on BuddyPress hosting: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-hosting/forum/ It could still use more people participating and sharing their reviews, but it’s a place to start.

The good thing is that you’re site is growing. The bad thing is that as it grows it costs more to host!

That’s awesome Rob. Thanks for sharing!

Nice, works fine for me. Using this in ‘/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php’:

`define(‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’,’profile’);`

I am very excited about the prospects of full integration of bbpress, buddypress, and wordpress as plugins. I am standing up two sites under wordpress with buddypress and am hoping the following will be true:

1. bbPress will fully integrate with the WP/BP profiles
2. bbPress will have the option of functioning and displaying as a standalone forum in addition to all of the groups, etc. ‘integration’ with BP
3. bbPress will integrate with WP by setting up a forum where each blog entry posts to a subforum by category so that discussion can take place outside of the comments (separate discussion from comments in other words)
4. bbPress will be spider-friendly ! This is of course a big one

Thanks I am looking forward to this project . . .

Thanks @mercime! I knew I was missing some margin css that held the key to fixing it!

Thanks!

I’m using the buddypress side bar which is great for creating new widget areas for widgets, I haven’t quite figured it all out yet but so far pretty promising. Then more to the point of your question is the “login with ajax” module which allows for redirects and all other sorts of options. This module is very easy to understand. I did have my site crash though, when I used it in conjunction with the “theme my login” module that I forgot to remove first. After setting up the redirect url’s for the “login with ajax” module, I then went into the widget setup area, and added the “login with ajax” widget into one of the side bars. Works great so far!!! I just have to search for a way to get rid of the login link on my buddy admin bar and I am good to go, well I still have to figure out how to put a widget into my header, but that’s for another forum search topic. Hope this helps you out.

Sorry to bother @modemlooper, I was just wondering if you had time to have a look at the second column cut problem with Thin Wide Thin template ?

Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks.

@gunju2221 yeah, I saw his post about “To Make your Topic Title Not be cut off”.

You have to override bp-default’s styling from
`table.forum {
margin: -9px -20px 20px;
width: auto;
}`
to
`table.forum {
margin: -9px 10px 20px 0px;
width: auto;
}`.

If you guys have fixed a reproducible bug in 1.2.6, please please make a ticket on http://trac.buddypress.org so we can look at it and/or fix it in core. We can’t read every single thread all of the time on this forum due to time constraints

The login stuff should be easy, just modify this plugin to go to activity instead of profile: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-redirect-to-profile/

I think there’s a similar plugin for redirecting after log out. Although, I think the default log out action is to send you to the home page.

To get the landing page as the home page, you can either modify the index.php in your theme to be what you want. Or you can make a page template and set that as the home page in your WP settings or…I think there’s other ways, but that should work.

Ken is an awesome little helper for my site.

@r-a-y, @hnla, @mercime, I am actually the one with the site.

the link is http://savannahvideocentral.com

This issue seems impossible to solve, i have checked every possible stylesheet there is!

The only issue I noticed with tis is the fact that the title for all sites is that of the main site.

Thanks – that worked.

@eor I’m not exactly sure, but last I heard I think they were shooting for end of year. @jjj is the lead developer for the change I believe.

@techguy do you know if there is a timeline for the bbpress wp plugin update? Was just about to create a bbpress installation.

Thanks,
eor

Did you look around at any of the plugins?

For example: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-album/home/
or this paid option: http://buddydev.com/buddypress/introducing-the-first-stable-version-of-bp-gallery-for-buddypress/

No need to get upset. Just maybe search a bit more.

Hi guys,

Glad everyone is liking the plugin!

@pisanojm: it’s a forked plugin from Andy’s External Group Blogs, but it has been updated and modified by Marshall ( @MrMaz). It will be added to the plugin repo, but we’re working on something else which will “compliment” this plugin, so we haven’t added it yet. Please leave your feature requests for this plugin in the comments section, so we can add them in the future.

This plugin we be extended upon for sure, we just have to finish some other (much cooler!) BuddyPress stuff first. So it might take a while, but the ideas proposed in this thread are certainly kept in mind for future updates

Umm…have you done a BuddyPress install with bbpress enabled? I think it does what you describe. I’m not sure what other integrations you’d want. Although, bbpress is being recoded as a WP plugin and will likely be even better.
