BuddyPress.org

I don’t see what this has to do with buddypress at all…

sorry, that was within the has_member loop.

this would work

$bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_registered

attribute_escape( bp_core_get_last_activity( $bp->displayed_user->userdata->user_registered, __( 'registered %s ago', 'buddypress' ) ) )

I’m conflicted.

1. I’m happy there are multiple solutions for Ning users to import their data into BuddyPress.
2. I wish that everyone’s efforts were on making this a near-perfect option in the core package.

I firmly support Boone’s option because it aligns with my personal beliefs, but I appreciate that there is another option for people with beliefs that are different than mine.

Putting code behind the paywall just makes it hard for me to celebrate its success as much as I feel like I want to.

Well… with regards to SPAM… I’m not certain… but I suspect that’s actually BuddyPress-related. I’ve never had that issue on any of my other WordPress sites. But my BuddyPress sites are rife with SPAM signups. No matter what I do it seems. The only solution I found (after trying literally everything I could find here and at wpmu) was to block all proxy methods.

I”m manaurlly created .htaccses file and BP is work for me im using eu5 hosts

Mabve you host doesn’t have .htaccses file and doesn’t suport mod_rewrite commands…

Not to be rude or anything Aaron.. but this is the first time you’ve been here and imo it for one reason only: Promotion and SEO purposes.. Google for: Ning Migration BuddyPress and this is the #1 hit.. Convenient If you were around daily it would not be strange, but I’ve never seen you around until there was a chance to make some money..

@aaron you weren’t “censored” that I can tell, just called out. I do have to give you credit, wpmu seems to have more Google SEO juice than even bp.org. witness:

You need to distinguish between whether it is a user interface issue, and if it isn’t, where the code/functionality is provided.

For example, BuddyBar is obviously a BuddyPress user interface feature. The code which is called when a user is marked as a spammer is in WordPress. The code that deletes a spammer’s activity from the Activity Stream is BuddyPress.

Hey, just a reminder here that not everyone uses the BP groups feature. So your plugin breaks if it’s disabled. You need to at least modify buddypress-link.php (0.4.1) at around line 162 to something like this:

Note that I didn’t check the entire plugin for other possible breakage points. So you might want to do that.

People should be able to choose what’s best for their needs/price. Many network creators will want professional hand holding for their migration. It ok to let them hire a developer for lots of cash instead of pooling their money with others in the same boat to get excellent support for low cost?

I started the WPMUDEV plugin 3 months ago, but we delayed it as we wanted to wait for Ning to provide a full export. When we saw the Ning announcement they asked me to push it out asap, and that was before Boone released his. There is no shared code.

I think it is completely fair to give users a choice of what features they want to have. 60% of my dev time was spent on the plugin supporting large member lists without timeing out and scaraping Avatars from Ning to import into BuddyPress. And considering what it cost Incsub to hire me to develop it $79 is more than fair when you get access to support and 8 premium BP themes along with 100+ other premium plugins.

smuda,

Seems like you could also donate to a developer to add some core functionality that’s on the roadmap but hasn’t been given resources. This would be like donating to BP.

I started with a fresh 3.0 install. Never used any 2.9.anything. So does any have a fixed for the avatars not showing..as mine are being uploaded correctly. See my post two above. Thanks.

The debate of where a particular question should get answered when it comes to WP vs BP is interesting. I used to resort to the “don’t ask here, ask there instead” response. However, with BP becoming very popular, the line is blurred between what is the proper place to ask a question. We have to assume that some BP users might not be familiar with WP, in fact BP might be their first experience with the WP ecosystem. So it is important to be as helpful and friendly as possible.

If a question is foundational in nature, meaning that it has more to do with the workings of WP and not BP, I’ll often give some help but then suggest that they might get a better, faster response in the WP forums. The bigger issue for me is when someone posts a question that has been answered numerous times but they have not taken the time to do a proper search.

I also agree that BP is more than just a plugin. I usually refer to BuddyPress as a plugin suite but that never sat quite right with me. BuddyPress is a feature-rich platform as far as I’m concerned. It transcends the idea of a simple WordPress plugin. I have said this before but it’s worth mentioning again. I view many of the BP “plugins” as modules. In other words, they tie into BP extending its functionality.

@3sixty-

You seem to keep changing your avatar. I just realized this as I have come to expect the “larval newt” face but then saw the barreleye this morning.

Hey Guys, I’m running MU and I use this edit https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/url-being-retrieved-strangely I’m about to try another update so I haven’t tested if this still works with the newest update but I’ll let you know after I do a backup first

Hi MrMaz

thanks for your answer

but i still have a problem with ajax with default theme and any other theme as you can see on : http://www.flickr.com/photos/40018469@N04/4534268369/

I’ve searched for a solution that you apparently gave some weeks ago but haven’t found it

thanks for your help and for this helpful plugin !

I have so many people I want to donate to and want to thank for all the tools & services provided that we would be charged big bucks for! But if you can’t find where to donate to BP – which I must say is really awesome of those who do want to support services by donating, I agree with donating to authors & devs – because no two frameworks are alike, and these tools are what make them possible & unique for all of us!

I have try Buddypress-Ajax-Chat latest version, it works!

Another important plugin – BuddyPress Maps

The author said he would to wait wp 3.0 and bp1.2.4 to dev next version, but i don’t agree take this off from the plugin list, because it is most important plugin to help BP to grow up.

Have a look : http://dev.benoitgreant.be/bbpress/topic/warnings-in-wpmu-292-bp-1221-and-bp-maps-028

BuddyPress is a plugin and like every other plugin, you don’t complain at the plugin because the core isn’t working properly. I get that you have a problem with this concept since I myself am unsure where to go with my question sometime, but if we start complaining about wordpress to plugin writers I’m guessing they’ll stop supporting their plugins.
