I don’t think they’re part of the language files, but you should be able to use this plugin to do the translations: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/

Awesome!!! Thanks @ggholic!

1. False. We get it everyday in our bug tracker.
2. BuddyPress.org and testbp.org see substantial traffic, and our showcase includes other high traffic BuddyPress powered sites.
3. BuddyPress.org is powered by the trunk version of BuddyPress, and could easily be powered by any 1.2+ version with only modifications to allow it to run on the shared .org space.
4. BuddyPress is operated in a similar fashion as WordPress, and has the complete support of the core contributing team of WordPress. That’s actually a good thing.
5. BuddyPress uses the same license as WordPress does. That’s another good thing.

@Jalien, I committed Gradebook component in latest svn revision. You might want to take a look.
Create an assignment and you should have access to its gradebook instantly.

have a look at @boonebgorges plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-external-activity/ and you could modify that to attach to usermeta vs groupmeta

a simple way:

We’re going to try to locate the language files in a better place for 1.3; I suggest you take a look through https://trac.buddypress.org/; if you can’t find a ticket for this valid suggestion already, make a new one, thanks

No, I’m sorry; this post is flamebait. You have some genuine points, and hnla has replied to some, but I would suggest you write in a less confrontational style, or take it to your own blog. It is doing you no favours on here.

thanks mercime went off for the link but got distracted.

12,000 members is a fairly large site and by the looks of things there is a fair amount of current activity.

Not sure I understand your last paragraph I don’t necessarily find your ‘Statements’ hostel yet they do come across as written by someone who is aggrieved in some fashion. Is the intent here to open debate? Recently there have been lengthy threads running on these points you raise and as much as I don’t intend to overly moderate this thread I also do not see a huge amount of value in it at this time. The project doesn’t attempt to stifle criticism as observed in recent threads, however telling moderators that they mustn’t moderate otherwise they ought not to be moderators is never going to go down well on any forum and is too an extent slightly hostile

There is a fair degree of concern over the direction and progression of BP and there are significant moves afoot to rectify this by the senior mod team and unofficial secondary tier of core developers.

1. It may feel that way and I have possibly felt this in the past but it’s not really true, healthy constructive criticism is welcomed and is taken on board.

2. Not sure of the point you are trying to make here? That BP isn’t able to handle large volume sites? I don’t think that’s true at all, BP will mature and you will see bigger sites starting to use it – case in point might be the ‘The Telegraph’ who now run a BP installation for their community and that does have a pretty large member base.

3. Developers are concerned very much with getting this site up and running fully and that is underway at this moment, please check out the BuddyPress Ninjas group, everyone is more than aware there are issues with the site at present and these are being rectified. As for the version of the site it Will run the current stable release as far as I’m aware.

4. And your point is? BP is run in the same fashion as WP. How independent do you expect it to be? Automattic back BP and employ the lead developer as for controlling BP I would say no more than they control WP. At the moment there is little interference from Automattic the project is headed by the two lead developers and a secondary team of equally experienced developers along with the larger community who all have access to Trac to help notify bugs found, add and test patches and move BP forward.

5. It is Open Source though! is not the GNU an open source license? Regardless this is what BP is released under and to open up discussions on this subject are just likely to go back and fourth debating an issue that is somewhat a moot point.

There is not a huge amount of value to be gained going over these points many of which have been covered recently, lets try and focus on positives and get the project moving forward at a healthy pace, direct our energies in a positive manner. I’m all for debate but think that we have had quite a bit recently and don’t really see a value in debating issues that may well be out of our control.

@Travel-Junkie, nice hack, worth to be posted on the codex. But where do we put that, bp-custom?

Hi, I’m having enormous difficulty with this plugin. I’m pretty much a newbie to buddypress. I have the default theme installed, and the latest version of BP, and of the BP Groupblog plugin. My host company just added a Wildcard DNS, thinking this would solve the problem which is that, each time I try to create a group blog, I come to the error page “Oops! This link appears to be broken”.

Now, a few hours after the Wildcard DNS was added, I’m still getting the error message, and I still cannot create a group blog for any of my 3 new groups, which have all decided to act very strangely now. I can’t see them listed on the sidebar widget any more. My BP site is only a couple days old, all we’ve done is allow new members to join at Contributor level, and we have a few members who are at Editor level but are instructed not to touch or do anything at all to the site, just join the groups I’ve created.

I am really struggling with this, and I need to get it done before we lose our group on 20th July when Ning starts charging.

Any assistance will be hugely appreciated.

Good News… I think I figured out the above, all though I still don’t know why I had to add it…

I added this:

if ( is_front_page () )
bp_core_redirect( ‘http://musicpln.org/pln-posts/landing/’ );

above

if ($bp&&($bp->current_component == BP_REGISTER_SLUG ))//buddypress
return;

and now it all works like a charm… I’m sure somebody can make this look cleaner that I did, but it is effectivley working now…

Is there anyway to have the slider always appear on one position either left or right no matter what screen resolution you are running?

Ok, spending evern more time on this… I went back to the idea of using @r-a-y ‘s modified regestered-users-only-plugin… Now it is 95% the way I want except the homepage is not re-directing to the landing page… every other page does this…. probably has something to do with the home page being the activity stream??? I’m copying the key changes I have done to the plugin below:

// This is a base array of pages that will be EXCLUDED from being blocked

if ($bp&&($bp->current_component == BP_REGISTER_SLUG ))//buddypress
return;

if ( bp_is_register_page() || bp_is_activation_page() || is_feed() ||is_page(‘landing’) ) //buddypress)
return;

$this->exclusions = array(
‘wp-login.php’,
‘wp-signup.php’,
‘wp-register.php’,
‘wp-activate.php’,
‘wp-cron.php’, // Just incase
‘wp-trackback.php’,
‘wp-app.php’,
‘xmlrpc.php’,
);

// If the current script name is in the exclusion list, abort
if ( in_array( basename($_SERVER), apply_filters( ‘registered-users-only_exclusions’, $this->exclusions) ) ) return;

// Still here? Okay, then redirect to the login form
bp_core_redirect( ‘http://musicpln.org/pln-posts/landing/’ );
