@JJJ I’m not so sure the idea of a BP-core plus add-ons is the right approach. To me, the big question becomes where do you draw the line?

As for bundling plugins, please don’t do that. “Hello Dolly” still annoys me and I still have to keep deleting it. I don’t want to see a whole bunch of plugins show up in my install. A better approach is to have a much more user friendly plugin repository. I’m anxiously waiting to see what Andy churns out for that because my biggest gripe now is there is no easy way to know what is supported/recommended.

Great plugin, @dwenaus how about extending it to let users tag themselves?

Oooooor, we could just code a kickstarter plugin for BP :p — Just kidding. I’d contribute some bucks as well.

Works fine for a single install for me…

Along these lines…I haven’t seen much discussion about spammers lately.

Am I still the only one getting 100+ per day?

Please please please someone figure out how to make buddypress’s registration page reference the banned domain list!

Sends them all to admin’s link?

Can’t you just use the form from the Activity page and use the Buddy Like plugin so people can LIKE a post?

Will start testing

I have ask my question in other topic but they deleted it.

Anyway, is there a way i could use original wordpress signup page instead of security leaked buddypress signup page?

Please anyone know how to force peopel to signup trough original signup form.

@modemlooper

I don’t know if this was your question but I found the function in /wp-content/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php

I’m trying to do the same thing as @hypergripe

The default layout of the Actions (forum actions) is like this:

Admin posted on the forum topic TOPIC NAME in the group GROUP NAME: 39 minutes ago · View · Delete

Content of forum post

I want it to look like this:

Admin said:

Content of Forum Post

View Full – Delete

Group/Category: GROUP NAME

I think that layout would be more intuitive for my users.

It would be way helpful to be able to sort and have more control over <?php bp_activity_action() ?>

Has anyone made progress in this regard? Any tips would be appreciated.

What JJJ said about it technicaly. What Andrea_r said about Facebook. I’ll add what I think as an admin.

BP is a stream for me as a user and not a techie. I need to be able to tweak everything that shows up in the stream in a way so that the community can expand. We’ve got 250 users now at a closed community with about 20% really active users. I’d like to grow up to at least 1000 users but I’m afraid of what will become of the Stream. I’ve got 300 very active friends over at Facebook and it makes me want to hide away from it. I mostly never go there since it’s too much to follow.

Also apart from the Stream there needs to be containers for all things for part time users. They should be able to follow the community even if they don’t take a peek every day.

@gregfielding – you are getting closer to a vision I have of the “net” – Imagine each person has their own “buddypress” and their friends have theirs – all on separate servers – friends are “linked” across the net via BP – my own activity feeds my friends canonically on their “what are my friends up to” page – my groups can be joined by my friends, but they do not have to be members, just request membership and wha-la they are members of my group – I can send email to the group – each one is separate, I can post updates which send email – etc.

Basically, you completely do away with the behemouth server farms by enabling creation of lite BP cells that are all linked together. How do you make that happen?

@r-a-y

Great plugin, Thanks

Facestrean plugin will allow sending forum posts and activity updates to facebook

@stwc

Hey I got it working, thanks for this, hopefully it’ll get made into a plugin.

I also added some comments here:

BuddyPress works in a WordPress install – so in the /community/folder there has to be a WP install you’re posting from. It is not a stand-alone script.

Look at the HTML source of the page, it says:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2" />

When I go to your main install at the actual root, those menu items on the front of your site are off the root blog.

You have another blog at /community/ as well as BuddyPress. Did you, perchance, install this using SimpleScripts?

So I tried to explain this to my father…who can barely use email.

Pretend you’re in a room with 1,000 people that you don’t know. Now, you might end up making friends with 10 of them, and doing business with 2. The problem is that it would take you a week of shaking hands and starting conversations to find those connections.

Social Networks/Communities…like Buddypress/Facebook/LinkedIn etc. turn that week into 10 minutes.

To me, improved community-wide searching and easy navigation by profile fields (can someone please load in locations?) are the most important areas where BP is clunky and needs improvement. We need to focus on turning that 10-minutes into 5, while being ever-more-user-friendly and intuitive in the process.

The trend is that all of these networks will share information with one another, so much so that, in time, walls will be torn down and eventually, “Social Networks” will be a big mosh of everything…made up of smaller topic-focused communities like each of ours.

BP gives each of us a chance to create a niche within this great mosh. We shouldn’t try to BE the mosh, but simply be the most efficient and user-friendly communities within it.

Reporting bad behavior is listed as a potential future feature for BP 1+4+

There is some potential overlap here, as I think one developer is planning on doing a plugin for Report/Ignore activity.

I haven’t heard anything about a bad word filter for Buddypress, so I am not sure anyone is working on a BP-specific plugin for that. It would not be complicated to code if you can find a developer.

@MrMaz, In the pro version will it be able to stream in RSS/Atom feeds without manually adding the links?

And also, can you embed code into it from youtube?
