BuddyPress.org

@Puanthanh – On your theme demo site you have a post titled “Duis eros est, mattis vel pulvinar id” – the image of that girl might be offensive to some of the ladies that might happen to see it

The “members” slug, as it is called, is also autogenerated and does not represent an actual, physical space. The easiest way to do this would be to change the slug to “usa/members”. See this article, https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/ , and scroll down to the section entitled “Change the URL slugs of BuddyPress components”

Basically, you would add this to the wp-config.php file. Having never tried adding a forward slash to a slug, I’n not sure if it will be stripped out, but on the surface, I can’t think of why that should not work:


define ( 'BP_MEMBERS_SLUG', 'usa/members' );


Here’s a plugin that does exactly that:

Here’s something much less robust than what Jeff is creating. This one lets users control privacy settings of their profile information, and admins have no overriding control. Sort of like Facebook does, and privacy settings appear when someone signs up, plus when they edit their profile data. You might have to adjust or add CSS to work with your particular theme. Works with the latest version of BP:

Is there anyway to get Buddypress to run alongside all these other plugin add-ons using one global log-in?

Which other plugins?

@techguy – you might want to get a beta copy of WP 3.0 and work with that instead on this tweak – reason being that WPMU code is merging with WP code starting with WP 3.0

wpmututorials.com

Disclaimer: It’s my blog. But, also Ron’s blog, and he’s wpmuguru who has been actually working on the merge.

Also, wptavern is an *excellent* resource for any new in the WP world.

Sorry, I realize I read that last post incorrectly.

I’ve dug into the code myself and have nearly everything working, but I’m unclear on the function for bp_signup_validate. In the WPMU plugin, there’s already validation checking for WPMU. Why not simply use:
add_action(‘bp_signup_validate’, ‘check_recaptcha_wpmu’);
?

For the WPMU code, this is called as a function:
add_filter(‘wpmu_validate_user_signup’, ‘check_recaptcha_wpmu’);

— and it looks like the same code you’d need for BP:

Am I missing something? Is there something else BP needs? It appears to me that the bp_signup_validate action lacks documentation.

I tried that Forum Extras plugin and it’s not the same thing as the activity stream and throws in a different workflow for people to get used too. Also I had so many bugs and problems with it that I ended up deleting it.

You might also look at the solutions listed: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/email-notification-not-working/?topic_page=2&num=15

i can’t find the old post on here but you can hack it for now by unseting the activity type from the loop

something like this

We are all aware of this issue. Please see this thread: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/requests-feedback/forum/topic/here-come-the-spammers/

It’s pretty easy to do with just a normal wordpress page and a custom template for that page.

@hollosch, @bondjamesbond007, @bradedwards — Please give us some information about your install, https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/when-asking-for-support/

The bug is with the plugin, not BuddyPress. Look at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/bp-community-blogs and where it says, “Last Update: 411 days ago” and “Compatible to: (WordPress) 2.7.”

Your best bet is to leave the author, Andy, a message and see if he intends to update.

There used to be a dashboard on this site, a few design revisions ago (read: a year?). Wonder if anyone’s still got a screenshot for inspiration.

If you’re using SVN trunk, then what Jeff says. If you’re using the SVN branch 1.2, then it should work fine — bp_page_title() is in a core file and if it’s not finding that you’ve got bigger problems related to an incomplete installation

I like the colors and logo. Looks cool and it incorporates BuddyPress really well.

@stwc-

I definitely see the desirability of a “User’s Dashboard” as you describe. Although there are ways for a user to accomplish some of what you’re suggesting in the current, default setup, it is not intuitive nor necessarily that easy. Any service that can help users better organize, manage, and track their growing data stream would be a hit.

Awesome, loving it. Will donate $20 to a stable version. Flexibility would be great, but it’s not major imo. I’d say just get it done, and consider the more lofty goals for a 2.0.
