I thought it would be most useful for the BP community if I posted a link to our new site – then answer any questions and post tutorials and code snippets as the need arises.
The site – http://skiddnet.com – is an automotive social community that is designed to support our other automotive properties – SkiddMark (editorial/magazines) and SkiddPlayer (the largest branded content platform for automotive videos). You can find links to these sites in the footer.
I built SkiddNet originall on Webligo’s social engine 3 platform (using Smarty templates & PHP), then redeveloped it on social engine 4 (Zend PHP). Unlike Buddypress, social engine is a paid product and most of the add-ons and plugins are also paid with a huge amount of nulled software that makes it a minefield if you try looking for code snippets. There’s very little documentation and little sharing between developers and therefore coding standards are highly variable.
So here we have the site now redeveloped on Buddypress.
The basic premise of SkiddNet is to foster the creation of quality editorial content, so we are using Paul’s achievement plugin to reward this behavior.
The site adopts a multisite configuration based on the bpdefault theme, but using a bespoke theme for user blogs. Both themes use the wootumblog plugin to create posts using the wordpress post taxonomies (aside, video, image, quote etc..) and posts are aggregated across the network into the main site using WPMU sitewide tags plugin. This is the part that I’m least happy about – it’s still pretty clunky and I’m still working on debugging it.
I also use a series of custom functions to grap images from posts and display on index pages (although there are a few bugs that I’m still fixing on this too).
All of the design and features are contained in a child-theme of bpdefault, so it upgrades effortlessley (the recent upgrade to BP1.29 went smoothly). I have also redesigned the WP admin with changes made to menu items, dashboard widgets, login page and the header and footer.
I have also developed our own BP admin bar – which is now fixed at the bottom of the screen.
You’re welcome to take a look around and then pick my brains on how particular features were created – I’ll try and answer as many questions as I can and share any custom code.
We’re in the snagging phase ironing out the remaining bugs, so if you spot something and can suggest a fix I’d be most grateful to hear from you.
Thanks
Hi
I’ve installed BP in a subdirectory of my existing php-site.
I am able to pull information from buddypress like this:“
etc.
But when I output the $bp global with:
`function bp_dump() {
global $bp;foreach ( (array)$bp as $key => $value ) {
echo ‘';
echo '' . $key . ':
';
print_r( $value );
echo '‘;
}
die;
}
add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_dump’ );`it shows f.e. that I am not logged in, doesn’t matter if I am logged in in the same browser-session or not.
So it seems I am completely missing some “initializing” or something or what is causing this?
Please help, I need urgent help on this!
Raphaelyeh my topics are lost too, and when I click on the new topic button it sends me to the buddypress.org homepage?
search is screwed up too and displays ‘can’t find page’.
not thats its a problem but uploading a new pic displays some weird error about something to do with the server?hope this helps guys
All these little odds and ends are good to know about. Search is a known issue, but I hadn’t noticed tags not working. If you all notice any other oddities, note them here.
I made the theme I’d like to use (called pride and joy BTW) BP compatible, thanks to the plugin.
Unfortunately, being completely new to this kind of thing, I have no idea how to make it work like a normal buddypress plugin would. How do I get all the tabs back with “community” & etc.?[not related, but I’d appreciate answers]
Also, how hard do you think CSS is to learn to the extent in which you can design your own child theme?
What programming language do I use to create a more customized experience on my site?Every time i try to edit a comment, or reply, sent a post to someone etc… i get directed to a page not found.? Whats going on with buddypress?
Maybe there is someone already has talked about this idea, but I’m not sure.
So is it possible to create “friendship” among groups in a buddypress community?
Here are two ways I could think of at the moment:
1. On group homepages, group admins can add links to other groups ( maybe after request and acceptance from each side, just like member friendship. ) . Maybe we need a plugin to do this?
2. Is it possible, for example, when at the pages of Group A, there is a sidebar widget making recommendations: Members of this group are also members of the following: Group E, Group S, etc..
So by these ways, members could find more groups to their interest, and groups could attract more members who share the same interest.
Topic: Widgetize MyBuddyPress theme
Hi,
I would really widgetize this theme home page but i haven’t understand tutorials
can anyone help me?
ThankxI have just reinstalled BP 1.9 in the hope that it would change the situation i have with ‘page not found’ errors for all the main navigation links. I believe i did this correctly, deactivating plugins, then BuddyPress itself, uploading manually and then reactivating, I resaved my numeric permalink settings. No change, ‘page not found’ messages on all none static pages. I read the following in the BP codex on 404 errors ‘…The mod_rewrite must be enabled on your server for pretty permalinks to work’. Presumably, as everything worked before the upgrade, the mod_rewrite is still on but how can I check that? I have been to the wp-config file and turned on wp-debug and I got a pretty long list and nothing that I could really understand, probably too long to post here but i can make it available if needed. i do not know what to try next! Will someone please help?
BP 1.2.8
Issue with BP login, when logging in if users navigate back to the home page they are seemingly logged out unless they refresh the page completely then it shows logged in.
further more when a user navigates to another page suddenly they are logged in, if they go back to the main page they look logged out but again navigating to another page puts them logged in again.
I need a work around, I have installed the BP redirect to profile plugin and that solved part of the problem, but still when a user goes back to the home page or our videos page they are seemingly logged out until they navigate to another page or refresh again… so confused.
So far i have tried:
-Reverting to buddypress default theme
-Turning off all my plugins and reactivating them one by one. (both default and Default BP theme)
-Using BP profile as homepage ( which worked for the immediate login but when they click Home at the top they are seeming logged out until refresh again)I also turned on and off and cleared my cache and cookies and am still encountering this problem with myself and several other users.
any suggestions?
