Participant1. Does BuddyPress need WORDPRESS MU or can it be created in a WORDPRESS ordinary blog – in addition do I have to find a hosting platform to host it – or can I just use the standard WORDPRESS blooging platform ?
BuddyPress can run on either WordPress or WordPress MU. If you want your users to be able to create their own blogs, you need to run MU. If you don’t want your users to create their own blogs, you can use regular WordPress.
2. The BuddyPress example looks quite complex (from the point of view of people viewing a site which uses it) eg you would normally describe a theme for a website on a first page then have categories eg if I did a music site – I would say have counties in the UK or towns say Cambridge, Hertford, …. and then have sub categories for ttypes of music eg choral, orchestral,folk….. – is all this sort of thing achievable with BUDDYPRESS ?
Buddypress is just a plugin for WordPress that adds the social media applications (status updates, forums, groups, etc) . Anything you can do with WordPress you can do when you have Buddypress installed. You can still have a regular blog-like website with the Buddypress social media additions.
3. I am a programmer and have used databases (SQLITENING/SQLITE) using development tools such as POWERBASIC – with Buddypress both on the client and server ends – is it possible to program in database links to connect with apps written in POWERBASIC which connect to SQLITENING/SQLITE databases (as dotnetnuk seems to do for proprietory Microsoft SQL databases) ?
I’m not sure I understand this question. Buddypress is just a plugin for WordPress. There is no (typical) client/server model. Your webserver runs WordPress that runs Buddypress. The client is the users web browser. That said, you can program anything you want in any language and create the required interfaces to interact with WordPress, it’s database, or anything else. This isn’t going to be trivial though.
4. Can you recommend a good (cheap) development platform for BUDDYPRESS/WORDPRESS ?
Download XAMPP or MAMP and install it on your local PC. These will allow you to install WordPress on your local machine for development, testing, etc.

rich! @ etiviti
ParticipantSorry about the admin page disappearing… on my local instance it showed up during testing but I was able to confirm on a production the same behavior. It was related to using a “loader” file for safe BP deactivation – some reason the admin_menu was not hooking. So I just reverted back and updated to 0.1.6
also as a side note and if anyone else has this problem. One of my user’s wp_cap is somehow corrupted (set at subscriber but some reason the current_user_can(‘edit_posts’) evals to true but if I import the same user_tables to my local testing instance everything works fine. strange.

March 30, 2010 at 11:39 am #70796In reply to: buddypress + p2 theme
itomizer
ParticipantI have some problems with avatars and comments posting on my site,
I have a WordPress + P2 Theme + Buddypress + BBpress combo
where I use the WordPress + P2 Theme for frontpage postings just by the users promoted as authors and I love the P2 commenting for the rest of the users..
the problem is that frequently the theme displays the wrong avatar for commenters.
I suspect the problem is in this P2 function:
function prologue_get_avatar( $user_id, $email, $size ) {
if ( $user_id )
return get_avatar( $user_id, $size );
else
return get_avatar( $email, $size );
}
Ho can I modify it to allow perfect buddypress integration??
Another problem I have is that sometimes users reports that the comment they just wront don’t show up like they logged out without notice..
The website is
thanks!

March 30, 2010 at 9:29 am #70788In reply to: Only List Blogs that User is a Member of
scroobyfe
MemberI’ve managed to resolve my issue. For anyone who is looking to do something similar, this is what I did.
I was going to resort to creating a custom database query for retrieiving all the users blogs until I dug into the BuddyPress plugin and found the function that is used within the admin area that lists all the blogs that each user is a member of.
I used the ‘get_blogs_of_user’ function found in ms-functions.php:
<br />
<?php<br />
global $bp;<br />
$userID = $bp->loggedin_user->id;<br />
$blogs = get_blogs_of_user( $userID, true );
// Check if blogs have been returned
if(!empty($blogs)){
?>
<ul id="blogs-list" class="item-list">
<?php
if ( is_array( $blogs ) ) {
foreach ( (array) $blogs as $key => $val ) {
if($val->userblog_id == 1){ continue; }
$blogLink = "http://".$val->domain . $val->path;
$blogName = $val->blogname;
?>
<li>
<div class="item">
<div class="item-title"><a>"><?php echo $blogName; ?> Videos</a></div>
<div class="generic-button blog-button visit">
<a>" class="visit" title="<?php _e( 'View Videos', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'View Videos', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="action">
<?php do_action( 'bp_directory_blogs_actions' ) ?>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</li>
<?php
} // End loop
} // End if
?>
<?php do_action( 'bp_after_directory_blogs_list' ) ?>
<?php bp_blog_hidden_fields() ?>
<?php } else { // If no blogs have been returned ?>
<div id="message" class="info">
<?php _e( 'Sorry, there were no blogs found.', 'buddypress' ) ?>
</div>
<?php } // End if ?>This code will list all of the blogs that the current logged in user is a member of, no matter what role the user has, admin, editor, subscriber etc.

Participant3sixty, I’d strongly recommend not doing it that way. ISTM that it’s far better if you store this info server-side, not client-side: it’s information that’s specific to the logged-in user, not to the browser they’re logged in from. I wouldn’t want to see posts marked as new, that I’d already read, just because I was using a different browser or a different machine. Big cookies harm browser-side performance, too.
Yes, I’m interested in working on extending buddypress’s forum capabilities. Here’s my work in progress: http://andrewsinlondon.wordpress.com/

ParticipantYes jozik, it would be great to have a “default language” setting in the user profile settings page. Could you not stor a language id in the usermeta of that user? When logging in it would read out the language id and set the redirect accordingly? Just brainstorming here.
How do social network sites like Facebook do this? They have their language selector at the bottom of the page, is that cookie based you think? It is important to us, so we could sponsor this, at least some of it.

ParticipantSorry, Bowe, but I couldn’t get yours to work.
I think I forgot to mention that I wanted to use the original CSS to create a drop down menu.
Here is my CSS:
/* > Navigation
*/
ul#nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 6px 0;
position: absolute;
list-style: none;
bottom: 0;
display: block;
width: 100%;
background: #232323;
border-bottom: 1px solid #637d1b;
}
body.activity-permalink ul#nav { display: none; }
ul#nav li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
}
ul#nav li a {
color: #aaa;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 8px 15px;
background: #232323;
}
ul#nav li.selected a {
background: #232323 url(../images/pointer.gif) bottom center no-repeat;
color: #fff;
}I really need help doing this. I’m a novice at CSS.
Thanks!

ParticipantI should also note that I’m running the newest version of your plugin, and it seemed to coincide with the latest update.

ParticipantI’m having the same problem as Anointed. Plugin is activated, but the panel that should be in the Buddypress area of the dashboard doesn’t appear. I’m running WPMU 2.9.2 and BP 1.2.3. Not sure what’s changed. It used to be there.

Participantheh… well, turns out the groups as set up here on buddypress.org don’t actually have forum or activity stream options… pretty much all you can do right now is join, so that renders all this hand-wringing a moot point.
In terms of the “new posts since last visit” code I need to find a way to expire each serialized cookie at 60 days, and then it’s pretty much ready to go.

Participantno theme edit but it traverses the dom tree on the bp-default themeExcellent, and thanks. I’ll be having a look, because that will make my clumsy attempts to do the same thing to get a quote-selected-text modification working a bit easier, I hope.

MemberDoh! I forgot to disable BuddyPress before doing it. I think that caused my problem.
I’m now able to upload avatars AND still have a workable Media Library.
Here’s my steps:
– Disable Buddy Press
– In Dashboard > Settings > Miscellaneous :
Store uploads in this foler: wp-content/uploads
Full URL path to files: http://yoursite.com/wordpressfolder/wp-content/uploads
– Make the already mentioned edits in bp-core-avatars.php
– Activate BuddyPress
Both avatars and media library worked for me.

ParticipantI am very interested in building up functionality in the bbPress Forums component of BP — weak forum functionality will be the dealbreaker in a new deployment I’m working on for an existing community. The fact that the bbPress community is quite moribund (and the tendency in discussing it here tends to be to direct people there, despite the fact that there’s an even greater paucity of documentation and resources ‘there’), and we need to rewrite or create new extensions for stuff within BP anyway makes things a little difficult for dilettante coders like myself!
Not a complaint or a derail — just saying that I’m happy to see other people thinking about beefing up bbPress within BP. I figured what the heck, and created a group, here: https://buddypress.org/groups/extending-bbpress-within-buddypress
Please, do share, and join the group if you’re interested!

MemberThis was working when I did an automated install from my server host … then upgraded wordpress through the dash.
I was having issue so I did a manual install of the latest WordPress / BuddyPress. When doing it this way my site no longer becomes viewable right after modifying and uploading the new bp-core-avatar file.
Site just goes to blank screen with not even a hint of an html header. Weird thing as well …. the bp-core-avatar file seems to expand! It keeps getting larger and larger.
I then have to delete and re-copy the BuddyPress folder in order for the site to show again.

Participant@Bowe, I think jimcale wants to pull in additional data from the Facebook profile to fill out the profile on Buddypress. Out of the box the plugin does the basics very nicely – I have it live on three sites with integration to my mailing lists.
But theoretically you can do much more with it. Haven’t had time to really look into that yet – my day job is not in web development.
March 29, 2010 at 10:31 pm #70727In reply to: [New Plugin] BuddyPress Group Forum Extras
ParticipantUpdated development version to 0.1.9b3
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/download/
Added Topic Preview – Hover over topic title link, inserts a new table row beneath the title with the first post post_content.
uses jquery hoverintent (default settings)
no theme edit but it traverses the dom tree on the bp-default theme – so you may have to edit the .js file to account for a different forum-loop.php structure.
no ajax – the first post_content is stored in html under a hidden div (i’ll add an option in the future to select full post or excerpt)
March 29, 2010 at 10:17 pm #70724In reply to: WP-FB connect profile.
ParticipantApparently there are hooks, actions, filters and other mysterious things you can use to add your own functions to get more data or do stuff – see Buddypress.php in the plugin folder. I have no clue how that works. You’ll have to search through the thread on the plugin page or be real nice to the developers.
