BuddyPress.org

@jamieea – you might want to check this one out:

http://www.dnxpert.com/2010/06/11/mark-blog-post-as-favorite-in-buddypress/

For it to work, you’ll need to have control over the themes being used for the member blogs (as it requires some code adding to single.php to create the favourite / unfavourite button.

Possible thoughts on enhancing this into something really special, borrowing ideas from del.icio.us: creating and sharing lists of favourites, annotating them with notes, and perhaps even allowing for links from outside the site to be added.

There seems to be some sort of error. The badge preview is only a broken image icon. Has anyone else had this issue?

I’m sorry but I I’m unable to install the plugin. It doesn’t seem to be a plugin… buddypress doesn’t recognize it at all. Any help?

Hi … more information I need, because I wrote above that the problem still exists.

See my first Buddypress http://www.unitedcasting.de/ please. BuddyPress did not created directories or files for ‘acitivity’, ‘members’ or ‘groups’. I use Windows 2003 R2 Server in English with MySQL 5.1.46, PHP 5.2.13, WP 3.0.1 and BP 1.2.5.2. All WP Blogs work fine without any problems. Why does Buddypress do not work as it should? Where are the files behind the directories of BP? Does the BP plugin need special rights?

Thanks for help!!!

This article shows you to calculate the age:

http://code.hyperspatial.com/all-code/buddypress-code/buddypress-age/

If you want to display the gender as an image, you can do it with a simple PHP if clause that checks your gender field and inserts the correct tag appropriately (or marks the field up with a class identifier), and style as a background image in your CSS.

I suggest posting your “check for online” query as a separate forum post, so that it doesn’t get overlooked

@hnla, I said “Click it” because it’s on the blog’s main navigation menu. If a visitor click this menu, it will go to the Introduction page.

What you said is exactly what I want— “simply have the text/content you want with a simple link to the registration page and also a simple login, registered users will login and be directed to their profile pag”, but the plugin you mentioned does not perform like this. It works on the action of a user log in(click the log in page) and then redirect.

I need a Catholic version of this. How difficult is it to add a translation to this?

I’ve the same problem. After I changed the permalinks to ‘/index.php/%category%/%postname%/’ for running buddypress there is nothing behind ACTVITY, MEMBERS, GROUPS. I run a complete new WP 3.0.1 with buddypress 1.2.5.2. There is no Guide after the installation of the buddypress plugin. What’s wrong?

Thanks for help!

@faisalmajeed – we have a similar need.

Facebook allows this type of attachment for Photos, Videos, Events, Links and others.

In our case, we want to allow users to attach PDFs and URLs. URLs can be typed directly into the update (although, the Facebook approach of making adding a link explicit is perhaps easier for the novice user – additionally the FB solution does clever things liking sourcing text and thumbnail options from the URL).

Perhaps what’s stopping this in BuddyPress is that most of the attachment types we’d want are media related (images, videos), and BuddyPress doesn’t have core components to handle these.

Is this a challenge for the developers of media plugins / components ( @foxly) to also augment the activity update boxes to allow attachments?

Does the core system need to provide hooks / api that allows plugins to add attachment handling to the update boxes ( @johnjamesjacoby)? Perhaps it already exists, and I’m missing something obvious.

Has anyone else addressed / thought about the issue of adding attachments to status updates in BuddyPress?

@hnla, let me try if my understanding about the codes are correct or not:
BP Redirect to Profile = force user to go profile page on log in. It’s not what I want to achive;
Travel-Junkie’s code = Make all BP communit not accessable for outsiders, they can only access blog page. It’s not what I want;

This is what I want: I have an Introduction page for outsiders. I name is “MySpace”. When logged in user click it, it goes to his/her profile. When outsiders click it, it shows the Introduction page and suggest him/her to signup.

Now I see the “Redirects” not working because I need a dynamic URL(depends on user status) as the target URL.

What to do?

@hnla, logically, I can see his code leads to several posibilities, but coding is really an alien’s job for me
Since I got the plugin, I still need you help me figure out one critical answer– What’s the URL for a logged in user’s Profile?

@pcwriter oops sorry missed this post.

That’s exactly what I was talking about and exactly what I had intended to implement but it probably got overlooked in the original thread, I spent a considerable amount of time reading through all the nav-menu files trying to see how these user added menu labels were referenced but couldn’t puzzle it out. I posted a topic on the WP support forums waited and waited re posted re phrasing the question but it was clearly too much for WP support to deal with

I’m not happy with hardcoding the labels for custom menus it was never the real intention, I can try your code snippet but think I established that the menu name or slug isn’t available in that array, it’s more an admin dashboard object but I may be wrong. Just wish there was some serious documentation on the WP codex, at the moment two seemingly important functions are simply lacking any documentation

@hnla, thanks for helping! This plugin doesn’t provide the function of redirecting to a welcom page for outsiders, but following the path, I found another plugin “Redirects” which allow for pointing a target page for outsider users. Many thanks!

Jenny a search of the forum turns up this thread, (always worth a quick search to see what’s been covered )

Give the plugin listed in the last post a go and see if it works for you, and just acknowledge back whether it worked for you

You can add your own custom avatar to your members and also to your groups by following using the code given here

Here’s an option:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

It turns any profile field into a clickable search term that brings up directory of all profiles matching that term. Could be useful… depends on how you want to use it.

@Travel-Junkie, I’m totally new to this but I want a page to show signup page for outsidders and show user’s bp-profile page for logged in users. How to do this, please?

@r-a-y Thanks. Do you mean I need to do the same thing I did to /pages and /posts? I did make the change in posts, but not pages. I didn’t see any reference to time in on pages.php or index.php. Any suggestion where I put it?

Agreed. I’m not keen on having a purple isosceles triangle for my avatar on Buddypress.

I’m not sure if this is the option, but in the WP admin panel, go to Settings > Discussion. Try changing the default avatar radio buttons at the bottom of the page to Mystery Man or None. Hope this helps.
