BuddyPress.org

@boonebgorges thanks for your response and plugin link, in terms of functionality it is almost exactly what I need, only:
– Need it to manage users instead of groups
– Need it to show their full profile fields (including xprofile)
– Need options to deactivate(very important) or delete users
– Need function to export list to excel sheet

Awesome guys, thanks a lot for all your replies, I will go through these and post back feedback. @djpaul @boobebgorges @paulhastings0

Cheers.

@DJPaul I guess on perhaps registration and community > Groups page; especially the groups page I suppose, a simple set of guidelines not too dictatorial as to reasons a member might want/ may create a group on this site but that on testbp.org they may experiment if they want to simply get a feel for how BP works. I was slightly surprised that there was no link to the test site from the main page as I had forgotten the link and had to guess a few time at it.

I am afraid I had to give up in the end. I tried it in all three and it didn’t open any of the syndicated RSS articles in a new window. I am sure its down to my incompetence but that’s a product or heredity, environment and evolution, so it won’t be changed quickly and I have to get the site up and running, so I will leave it out for the time being. Many thanks for your help.

awesome, thanks!

• 1. Which version of WP/MU are you running?
•
I’m not sure about the WP part because simple script installs everything at once, but it was a fresh install.
They also offer WP 2.9.2, so I believe that’s what it would be if they installed wordpress first.
•
2. Did you install WP/MU as a directory or subdomain install?
It was installed directly to the domain with a /city after it.
It is not my primary account, but it lists as just the domain name. so in my case it is not 12gates.citywidesites.com, but 12gates.net .It is an add-on domain
•
4. Did you upgraded from a previous version of WP/MU? If so, from which version?
• NO
•
5. Was WP/MU functioning properly before installing/upgrading BuddyPress (BP)? e.g. permalinks, creating a new post, commenting.

I installed WP under a different subdirectory to test it when the Buddy press did not work, and it worked fine.
•
6. Which version of BP are you running?
1.2.3
•
7. Did you upgraded from a previous version of BP? If so, from which version?
NO
•
8. Do you have any plugins other than BuddyPress installed and activated?
NO
•
9. Are you using the standard BuddyPress themes or customized themes?
Standard
•
10. Have you modified the core files in any way?
NO
•
11. Do you have any custom functions in bp-custom.php?
NO
•
12. If running bbPress, which version? Or did your BuddyPress install come with a copy of bbPress built-in?
NOT running bbpress
•
13. Please provide a list of any errors in your server’s log files.
14. Which company provides your hosting?
Hostmonster is the host and simplescripts is the installation software

I found this at a forum… I guess my problem was, I had first installed the BuddyPress templates and THEN put Buddymatic in. Hopefully I fix it. yikes.

Buddymatic is Thematic with a few extra functions and the BuddyPress templates. If you did something like make Thematic a Buddymatic child (or visa versa), you would get that result. Also, if you are running the BP template pack, you MUST remove it before activating Buddymatic.

yeah, I thought about that too. And the reason I cross posted is because it can go on either site. As a WordPress user or BuddyPress user, both need to consider an effective homepage. And though the activity stream is great. There needs to be sections in order to capture an end users attention, and keep it. So I thought this post can rely on either site. Someone may be working on or know something about what I am suggesting? Remember BuddyPress last year? Andy had something similar to what I am suggesting.
Thanks to anyone who may have a suggestion.

Thanks for the recommendation @BOW. Paul – I’m trying to hide particular field groups on the edit page. I set the user type in a field group called “Accounts” (radio select Personal, Business, or Artist) which I have appended to the registration process. Then, based on their answer there I want to show or hide different field groups in the profile edit page and profile display page. I also want to hide the “Accounts” field group from everyone so that they can’t change that after registration.
