BuddyPress.org

@nahummadrid – Thanks! That clears up things!
You should preferably add the users to the blog.

Try a plugin like this:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/

Or, customize this per blog with:
add_user_to_blog( $key, $user_id, $value );

@mikepratt Well, I built my first website in 1994… shortly after Netscape 0.9 beta was released… but I’m still a whining code monkey some days

@hnla That’s exactly my point. I am not suggesting they take it on on their own accord – they need to be asked and guided in an engaged manner by the official leadership. If asked, I’d take on the responsibility with vigor. Instead, everything drifts. It should never be a one man show and no one is expecting that of @andy. Tragically, all this talent you guys have is left wasted on the sidelines (if this thread alone isn’t evidence enough) We’re all doing this because we care and are ready and willing to roll sleeves up and get to business once the right things are done. I’d point out that the chorus of voices you hear here comes from a group of folks almost entirely over 40. We’ve been around the block and understand what needs to be done. We’re not a bunch of bitching & whining teenage code monkeys. (Well maybe Sayre is)

Kasper,

use this Plugin:

I have this problem too!

@gasparking have you tried

@Leroy12
JJJ commented on the trac ticket. You might check it out. I know that WordPress use to allow and even check for the uppercase. Although, I just tried and it’s no longer worrying about case it seems. Maybe you could look into it more and update the trac ticket as well.

A new topic is started at this location.

I’d echo those comments Mike, but it’s also slightly imposing to ask or even expect DJPaul/Jeff/r-a-y/ to take on board the leadership of things – as much as I would love them to, and would hope they would (I have expressed surprise that as Mods the team appear to have very little useful power and need more @andy take these guys on board to help run the site please, grant them as much access as is possible). What is undeniable though is something needs to be done, agreeing on the detail therein open to minor debate, but much has been expressed. First order of the day ought to be to finish this site of properly, it simply can’t stay like this and remain a credible example of a BP powered site it also needs to function in a manner that we developers need from a community dev forum.

@Stef78

have you also been able to get the page “domain.com/wp-login.php” translated into your local language ?
I am still struggling to achieve this.

I am interested in this too. I’d prefer offloading member contributed files to S3 than on my own server.

I found this similar solution:

http://exchange.kaltura.com/content/buddypress-media-component-plugin

unfortunately it still has features missing, like media links are not yet integrated in the user profile.

@Paul :
not working either with

//TO FIX
//https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/how-to-use-bp_init-and-bp_setup_globals-at-the-same-time/
//add_action( 'bp_setup_globals', 'bp_yclads_setup_globals' );
add_action( 'wp', 'bp_yclads_setup_globals' );
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'bp_yclads_setup_globals' );

For the same problem (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/custom-plugin-hook-bp_setup_globals-is-not-fired/)

@justbishop happy to hear that

within those quotes was the php call for the sidebar, didn’t realize php is prohibited, woops! sorry.

For example, I go into /activity/index.php and i delete the “”, yet somehow the sidebar still shows up on my activity page, in the same broken way as before. How is that possible?

add top:0; to @r-a-y‘s snippet
#wp-admin-bar {position:absolute !important; top: 0; }

I would be willing to contribute to it.

@Paul Gibbs

I would consider paying you to build it for easyoutsource.com, and we could package it and release it to the community as a plugin. We’d like to be able to filter members by rate, availability, etc., and we’d like to be able to perform boolean searches where you can search multiple filters at the same time. Any idea how long it would take and how much it would cost?

I think that BuddyPress could flourish and develop and grow by ITSELF into many different directions, features and applications by the many talented Plugin-developers out there (considering the Core-Code to be stable).

Thanks to Andy, JJJ and many others who have contributed during times, the code-base is already available – I guess now is the time for talented Plugin-developers to move ahead based on that foundation. As far as I remember, Andy always encouraged Plugin-developers to engage – however each Plugin developer needs to figure out by himself how to monetize his talents.

I am sure BuddyPress is a great base for talented Plugin-developers to earn a living.

@andrea_r

Are you saying if I start with new install of everything, it should work with the BP template pack plugin?

No need to worry. All is well. I can assure you BuddyPress is 100% not abandoned.

My excuses are more client work than I can handle, and building lots of core API’s to make extending BuddyPress /much/ easier in 1.3. Custom post types in WordPress 3.0 have me sidetracked also

I’ll post something up in the blog with some official updates and words to address this topic in better detail.
