BuddyPress.org

Have you guys tested the fresh installation?

Im about to test this scenario:

1) WP 2.9.x

2) BP install (current state)

3) Upgrade WP to WP3.0b

4) Go to multisite network

5) Refresh BP

Does anybody some strong recomendation (like DONT DO IT ?

@shaisimchi

To integrate the BuddyPress Events plugin (bp-events) to the search is very similar to the code Pedro posted.

on bp-core-tempaltetags.php change this:

function bp_search_form_type_select() {

// Eventually this won't be needed and a page will be built to integrate all search results.

$selection_box = '<select name="search-which" id="search-which" style="width: auto">';



if ( function_exists( 'xprofile_install' ) ) {

$selection_box .= '<option value="members">' . __( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';

}

to this:

function bp_search_form_type_select() {

// Eventually this won't be needed and a page will be built to integrate all search results.

$selection_box = '<select name="search-which" id="search-which" style="width: auto">';

$selection_box .= '<option value="events">' . __( 'Events', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';



if ( function_exists( 'xprofile_install' ) ) {

$selection_box .= '<option value="members">' . __( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) . '</option>';

}

and on bp-core.php

change this:

if ( !$slug || empty( $slug ) ) {

switch ( $search_which ) {

case 'members': default:

$slug = BP_MEMBERS_SLUG;

$var = '/?s=';

break;

to this:

if ( !$slug || empty( $slug ) ) {

switch ( $search_which ) {

case 'members': default:

$slug = BP_MEMBERS_SLUG;

$var = '/?s=';

break;

case 'events':

$slug = BP_EVENTS_SLUG;

$var = '/?s=';

break;

Hopefully that helps someone out.

Wow! Really usefull hack! Thanks a lot. Hopefully it will be made into a plugin or a part of the core

for me it works too

Have seen this before. Not sure how it’s done, revision history appears to be misleading. I’ve sent a message to Andy Peatling as a heads-up.

The upcoming 1.2.4 release will be tested/fixed to work with WordPress 3.0. Current version is not guaranteed to work.

Serious! Need this BAD! I’m tempted to can the forum directory new topic dialog because I stated a few months back people will start posting in the wrong groups and it’s happening quit frequently.

When you choose %%forumtopictitle%% Replaced with current forum topic title

It shows the latest forum topic title for ever forum topic. So every Forum topic will have the same browser title. Definitely NOT SEO.

The Rate Forum Posts Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-rate-forum-posts/ does something like this. You would need to tweak it a bit to aggregate the three tiers you are looking for, but it’s a start.

You could use the Custom Profile Filters for Buddypress plugin. I know it’s not exactly what you are looking for, but it would enable you let your users identify themselves in one of your 5 categories, then that word they have selected will become a link that will take them to a page will all of the other users who also selected that category.

Perhaps this plugin will give you the building blocks you need to create the solution you need.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-profile-filters-for-buddypress/

Before updating buddypress you should always deactivate any plugins that require BP in order to work.

At this point the only solution I have would be to go in through FTP and remove any offending BP plugins from wpcontent/plugins. You don’t have to delete them necessarily, just get them out of the plugins folder and refresh your site. Copy them into a folder on your desktop so you can re-establish your plugins after you have finished the upgrade.

Once you have the upgraded version running, then start to rebuild your plugins by pulling them back in to the plugins folder (again via FTP), then reactivate them (ensuring that BP is active before you enable BP specific plugins) one by one in the plugins menu under admin until you are back in business.

@stwc Profile sharing is a way to “copy” someone else’s link into your own link list. Let me know if you have any ideas on how to make that more obvious.

Ah, OK. Maybe just a change of wording then, or hide that My Profile radio button if I’m the link creator?

@3sixty, I hope you’re able to turn it into a plugin. I know that it would come in handy and quite useful for users out there.

BuddyPress can be utlized in different ways for different projects … a social networking tool … an organizational tool … a management tool … and so much more. .

Thank you for BuddyPress

So following the plugin bunny trail that we’re on I’m going to throw my shoe out there.

BP is/was a group of plugins. When I install BP I’m not actually installing one plugin. I’m actually installing 7: Activity, Blog Tracking, bbPress Forums, Friends, Groups, Private Messaging, and Extended Profiles.

If BP can provide the best, fastest, most extensible core hooks and loops, then let the plugin developers code and extend to their hearts desire.

if (BP Core == diving board)

     plugin authors = the bells and whistles of BP

The way I see it, there should be 3 classes of plugins.

1. The Core BP plugins (i.e. currently the 7 components… this list will increase, such as Basic Privacy).

If you’re not running all or most of these, then you’re not really running BP.

The BP is officially “in charge” of keeping these plugins updated.

2. The Senior Plugins (e.g. Media-Albums, Oembed for Activity Streams, BP SEO, Enhanced Privacy etc.)

These are plugins that almost 65% (or some other number) of sites will end up using but we’re not sure that they will.

BP officially endorses and most likely will use their paid developers to keep these plugins functional.

3. The Normal Plugins (e.g. GEO Locations, Extended Profiles, Gifts, etc.)

Plugins that authors create for different purposes. While many sites use them, they don’t have the same widespread use and support as the Senior Plugins.

BP has no official position with respect to these plugins.

Currently only category 1 and 3 exist. There is no category 2.

We haven’t updated to the latest version but everything so far seems to be going well.

You may find this plugin useful: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ozh-who-sees-ads/

I believe you’ll need to edit the different template pages to have the ads display… I could be wrong on that though. It’s been a while since I’ve played around with it. It may now just require moving some widgets around.

Is there a way to set the widget default to newest?

Just tested on the live site and there was no conflict. Not sure why.
