BuddyPress.org

@nuprn1 how can I add a tab after the forum tab ?

I wouldn’t hold your breath for this functionality, there are a lot of issues to deal with and only a volunteer core dev team working away at all the tickets for 1.3. I think that what you seek is not a easy task and would require some dedicated coding over and above what time permits for the core team and those helping out patching and testing.

Hi, nice plugin, do you think it would be appropriate to use as a solution to the following:

I am using the “More fields” plugin to add some checkboxes to posts. These checkboxes will allow a post to be associated with genre of book.

I am also using buddypress. When a user registers I want to be able to give the user the option to choose which book genres they are most interested in, and then save it into their profile info. These genres obviously have to be the same as the genres which i am tagging my posts as (the custom field ive created in more fields).

Can anyone think of a way I can allow users to choose which genres (multiple checkboxes) they are interested in. I could of course create a profile field containing the book genres in the “profile field setup”, but then they wouldnt be the same as the checkboxes im using to “tag” posts with and therefore id be maintaining two sets of data which are in no way linked and would be useless for reporting purposes.

Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

How to make it work with WordPress Single Blog:

Step 1
—-
Go into the plugin folder and open the bp-auto-group-join.php file. Line 67 should be:
`add_submenu_page( ‘wpmu-admin.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`

change it to this:
`add_submenu_page( ‘options-general.php’, __(“Link Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), __(“Auto Join Groups”, ‘buddypress’), 1, __FILE__, “auto_group_join_plugin_options” );`

That first argument just tells the action hook `add_submenu_page()` where your plugin menu item should go based on page slug. The options-general.php slug corresponds to the “Settings” menu. So you’ll get a link for the plugin settings under the Settings menu. I couldn’t figure out how to add the link to the BuddyPress menu since that menu works a little differently.

Step 2
—-
Go to line 147:
`add_action( ‘wpmu_new_user’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`

Add add this new line below it:
`add_action( ‘user_register’, ‘update_auto_join_status’, 12, 2);`

I figured the wpmu_new_user action hook wouldn’t work with single WP. I was right. I tested with the additional user_register hook and it works. Joy

@sammermpc please post the other links when you get a chance

What settings are you using? I’m using it on BP-Tricks but I’ve talked to Frederick (the plugin dev) on WordCamp and he basically told me that it’s a good idea to turn off page Caching and Database caching when you use BuddyPress and only use Object Caching, Minify and a CDN.

Hi @phyz, are you talking about the custom community theme? This functionality is not added yet.

@r-a-y

Can’t wait

I will try it too, thanks @MrMaz and @Bowromir for the info

Not sure this will help but I just posted another way to get simular results here…

Hi Everyone – I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for but this is what I did! And NO coding required! lol

Under Buddypress Componet Setup enable the Group Settings. Now go to your profile page and set up as many groups as you like. Then use the Buddy Press Registrations Groups the author page is this – http://hardlyneutral.com/wordpress-plugins/ this will have the groups show up on the registration page and they will be asked to select which group they are a FAN of.

If you want you can go to the Editor Page or your FTP or Cpanel for that Plugin and on this page: buddypress-registration-groups-1/includes/bp-registration-groups.php scroll down to you see where it says Fan of and check one or more areas of interest and chance it to whatever your website needs are.

I hope this helps.

Another great plugin is https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-member-filter/ When you put brackets [ ] around any word in your profile it makes it a link to all other members that have that word or phrase linked. So when you click on it all members with that link come up on a list.
Here is a example I use on my directions page for creating their profile.

[Hair Stylist]

I am a [Hair Dresser] [Beauty Salon] owner I offer [Hair Cuts] [Perms]

[Hair Coloring] [Hair Highlighting] [Braiding] and other misc [Hair Care] services.

I am available Monday – Thursday for appointments only.

Again I hope this helps someone!

I’ve encounter the same requirements for a profile field to be editable only by admin that is non-editable by suscribers.
Someone could eventually commit a small plugin that allows this sort of administrative tagging.

Outside of buddypress perspective, I end up using wp_usermeta database table with a call to add_user_meta($user_id, $meta_key, $meta_value [, $unique] ) and when i need the info stored i use get_currentuserinfo()

It’s a problem with buddypress.org’s hosting situation. As @crashutah alludes to, buddypress.org shares user database with wordpress.org, which at the moment has pretty severe restrictions on the kinds of files that can be uploaded.

I’ve spoken with some of the staff at Automattic about the problem, and they’ve informed me that the general restrictions on uploads at wordpress.org will be lifted relatively soon. At that time, the avatar problem here will be fixed.

I can’t implement any other fixes on buddypress.org at the moment because of the fact that it’s running a WP 2.9.x installation, which must be upgraded before any more fixes go up. That upgrade process is going to be very complicated. I’m working on it.

In the meantime, I agree that it’s not a great first impression, but I encourage you to download the software and check it out.

This is now being discussed on at least three threads simultaneously. What’s confusing, is there seemed to be a moment, nearly a year ago — where it was going to be supported, and there even seemed to be a patch in the commit pipeline, I think.

@pickykim, @mercime, @DJPaul

I’ve seen quite a few post on this (including mine :0) )…i opened up a feature request for this today

Kim keep me posted if you find out or make any progress

@John James Jacoby and @petronic
was the plugin ever published?
