Awesome-desu!

I love Manga, allthough I prefer Anime.

Am working on a buddypress based Anime/Manga Community as well, but only for the Dutch crowd.

There’s no code (as far as I’m aware) in BuddyPress that calls get_current_site().

Nice! i’m waiting for it..

Working flawlessly so far. Logging out, posting as a testuser, logging back in, thread’s marked new.

If there’s no major performance impact involved, I think we’re good!

Also, I’m using the famfamfam icons (black and yellow bullets) instead for the moment because my child theme is a dark one with yellow highlights. Looking nice, may or may not go with pure css for read/unread.

Thanks again for this — it was a user request literally just a few days ago.

Hi Mr Maz,

The 0.4.1 version almost resolved the filtering problem with languages (in my case french).

There are still problems with filtering links that are under a category that contains accents.

I’m having the same error with theme Mandigo. I’m running wp 2.9.2 and buddypress Widgets 1.1.2 on a Linux host.

Having looked at the code, it breaks down at:

$wpmu = function_exists(‘is_site_admin’); //from functions.php

if ( !function_exists( ‘is_site_admin’ ) ) { //bp-core-wpabstraction.php

function is_site_admin() {

if ( current_user_can( ‘manage_options’ ) )

return true;

return false;

}

}

// if this is WordPress MU // from footer.php

if ($wpmu) {

$current_site = get_current_site();

In my case I am not running WP-MU but it appears bp-core-wpabstraction.php has a user ‘manage_options’ rights so the system thinks it is wp-mu and then can’t find the wp-mu function get_current_site() (which I presume was once unique to wp-mu but is now in wp 2.9.2)

Looking good — works on refresh of forums listing page, same user.

Now to dive into the code. I’m going to go for minimalism in the UI — no icon, just a CSS class manipulation to make it an a:link rather than an a:visited in appearance, I think, and maybe a small ‘X Posts Since Last Visit’ with a count, if possible.

Nice work!

BuddyPress works great with standard regular wordpress version ( wp ) and wordpress multi user version ( wpmu ).

If you are planning for social networking web site where users can host their own blogs – install buddypress with wpmu.

@kallemagnusson, I originally had the same issue as you. I always install WP in a sub folder and BP does not seem to cope too well with it. The fix that @gian-ava and @r-a-y recommended worked only on some of the links. Since I am very new to BuddyPress and this is a brand new site, I ended up moving the lot up one level so WP is now in the root folder. This will do for a start (path of least resistance)

Did you find a better solution?

Question: is this on a per-user basis? In other words, can I log out as admin, log in as a test-user, and expect to see new posts made as admin correctly flagged as new using the same browser?

It doesn’t matter too much either way, that I can see, just verifying…

I’ll try again later, thanks.

@MrMaz

I deleted the user’s link in question because ouch, so I can’t check, but as I recall it was indeed 200Kb+, and it was hosted on the remote server. I have no idea how the user did it. They might have created the link in the 0.3 version… were the filesize checks already in effect then?

I believe in solutions – paid or free, it doesn’t matter. People have different needs. Those involved in the BuddyPress community have varying amounts of time that they can spend in the forums or writing plugins, etc. Permitting each other that kind of freedom is where true creativity flourishes, not under some kind of unspoken mandate of the collective. It’s time for the premium theme market and premium plugin market to be treated equally. If you purchase a beautiful WordPress theme that took weeks of design, creativity, and theming, nobody bats an eye. Code is poetry in this same sense. When someone writes a new plugin, his freedom to choose whether or not to sell it or give it away for free is really far more important than the plugin itself.

Even though we sell premium plugins, we also have loads of free resources and tutorials on our sites and promote all kinds of solutions, both paid and free. If I personally write a plugin, I like to give it away for free. That’s because I’m not a real programmer and I don’t have the ability to provide decent support. However, I fully support the right of extraordinarily talented people like Aaron or Andy or Boone to be paid for writing for BuddyPress or to give it away for free. All that to say that I’m grateful to many people in the BuddyPress community for their hard work, and it is none of my business how they are compensated or not compensated for it. I simply enjoy learning and building together. I’m sure that if we could all meet up and have a beer somewhere, we’d have far more mutual respect for the talents and liberties of others.

@Arturo

this looks like the one design which BuddyDress did long long time ago and I was actually looking for this being compatible with BP 1.2.x and higher version.

Is your theme based on the latest version of BP ? It looks like being based on the previous version which would not be good.

If you could base your theme on the latest BP-version, that would be great !

Many thanks !

Hmm, RSS… that is a little complicated. Also another implication I did not think of is the activity stream. If the idea is to restrict access to content, then both the RSS, the activity stream (and the activity stream RSS) have to be considered.

Before we go down the route of considering another plugin, have you already tried this one?

BuddyPress Groupblog

Description Installation Screenshots Other Notes Changelog Stats

Author: Rodney Blevins & Marius Ooms

The BuddyPress Groupblog plugin extends the group functionality by enabling each group to have a single blog associated with it. Group members are automatically added to the blog and will have blog roles as set by the groupblog admin settings.

Features:

Full blog theme integration. The included bp-groupblog theme mimics the group pages.

WP Admin option to set default blog for groups plus bonus options.

Automated blog registration at group creation stage.

Bypass default blog validation to allow dashes, underscores, numeral only and minimum character count.

Blog privacy settings are initially inherited from group privacy settings.

Group members are automatically added to the blog.

Blog roles match group roles as set by the group admin.

Solid error checking that the blog follows validation.

Group admin tab to access the group-blog settings.

Recent posts are displayed on the group home page, much like the forum topics.

A menu tab is added to display the latest blog activity and blog page links.

Blog themes will have the ability to pull in group info and create a theme that could resemble the group exactly.

Leaving the group will downgrade the member role to ‘subscriber’.

Allow the group admin to select one of his/her existing blogs.

Known Issues: * Group blog post do currently not show up in the group activity stream. Therefore as a short term solution we are including a custom activity loop on the blog page. This should be fixed in the future.

Roadmap:

Allow the admin to let group admins choose the blog name, instead of following the group name.

Frontend posting from the blog home page.

Redirect options to integrate deeper with the blog.

Include an RSS icon for easy access to the Blog’s RSS feed.
