BuddyPress.org

I second that, moderators are a must.

Also, it would be great for the “Site-wide Admin” to be able to edit member’s profiles (including avatars).

The only one I found is: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

It only does “thumbs up” (like) but no “thumbs down” but does work with the activity stream.

This is true. I think there is about 10-15 hours work in it before it gets to a beta release for the current version of BuddyPress.

I am working on it, but as always there are plenty of things to do

You’re welcome

when will this be fulle buddypress compatible?

I use BlueHost. Your friend was talking about the WPMU + BP installation via SimpleScripts (kind of like Fantastico de Luxe, but much more responsive to upgrades).

SimpleScripts calls it “BuddyPress”, but it is really BP + WPMU.

I used SimpleScripts to do my initial BP + WPMU installation. I had a complete site failure yesterday when I upgraded to the most recent BP version. I also had some bugs creating user blogs with the original installation.

I think SimpleScripts automatically configures WPMU to create user blogs as subdomains. For this to work, your hosting provider MUST support “wildcarding”. When opened a support ticket with BlueHost to do this, they quickly replied: “No our system does not support wildcarding.”

If you were creating your own blogs as subdomains, this would not be a problem because you could use the DNS tool (e.g. cPanel > Simple DNS Zone Editor) to support define each one when you create it. But, it seems likely you’re using WPMU to support multiple users. In that case, it would be nearly impossible to define a new subdomain each time your users created a new blog. The wildcard gets you out of that predicament by immediately supporting any subdomain when they create the blog.

If you install WPMU + BP manually, you don’t need a hosting provider that supports wildcarding. During the configuration, just select the option to create user blogs as *subdirectories* instead of subdomains.

I did the manual installation for the first time today. I don’t think I’ll need the SimpleScripts approach again.

Hope this helps.

@MrMaz I’ve got some good news for you. While I still can’t get the avatars to work via the thumbnail chooser, I have gotten avatars to work on a single wordpress install when choosing to “Customize” the link’s avatar. In my case it can crop the image and upload the thumbnail and fullsize pic to /wp-content/uploads/link-avatars/

In case this helps anyone else… I had to use the “Full URL path” in wordpress’ Settings > Miscellaneous to get BuddyPress user avatars to upload (in case someone wants to use a different avatar than their Gravatar)

Full URL path example: http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/uploads

Thats because there is no Mystique styles for BuddyPress in tour style.css & Mystique doesn’t recognise the BuddyPress pages.

You could add the styles yourself, or maybe an easier way, create a blank page in your wp-admin, call it activity & see if Mystique page styles are picked by your activity page then.

uploaded to the development version:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-forum-extras/download/

requires a theme edit (details on the forum extras admin page after activating the subplugin)

I thought you wanted BuddyPress to use the Mystique look & feel?

try

remove_filter( 'body_class', 'bp_get_the_body_class', 10, 2 );

in your functions.php

Without an application platform like Facebook / MySpace, (i.e. full opensocial container support), BuddyPress sites will always have a severe handicap. iPhone isn’t popular just because it’s a good phone – iPhone is popular because of the app support. WordPress gives us a platform with some terrific plugins, but WordPress plugins aren’t social by nature. OpenSocial apps are. And that makes all the difference.

You can also place this code anywhere you want and style your own little Notifications Block:

<!-- Notifications block -->

<?php

echo '<li id="notifications-menu"><span id="menu-title">

<a href="' . $bp->loggedin_user->domain . '">';

_e( 'Notifications', 'buddypress' );



if ( $notifications = bp_core_get_notifications_for_user( $bp->loggedin_user->id ) ) { ?>

<span><?php echo '('.count($notifications).')' ?></span>

<?php

}

echo '</a></span>';

echo '<ul>';



if ( $notifications ) { ?>

<?php $counter = 0; ?>

<?php for ( $i = 0; $i < count($notifications); $i++ ) { ?>

<?php $alt = ( 0 == $counter % 2 ) ? ' class="alt"' : ''; ?>

<li<?php echo $alt ?>><?php echo $notifications[$i] ?></li>

<?php $counter++; ?>

<?php } ?>

<?php } else { ?>

<li><a href="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain ?>">

<?php _e( 'No new notifications.', 'buddypress' ); ?></a></li>

<?php

}

echo '</ul>';

echo '</li>';

?>

To run BP on a sub-blog, look at:

https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/

“BP_ROOT_BLOG”

“If you ask andy or lots others here should know, you need to disable buddypress body classes.”

You have to replace them, and Mystique have extra divs.

@D Cartwright thanks for a very much needed plugin. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to use it, for I have the same problem reported in previous entries. I am the administrator of groups and I cannot access the wiki. It says “You do not currently have access to view any of the wiki pages of this group.”

Thanks for your help!

Alex

Sorry, I don’t have my copy here with me so can’t check how I did it now.

Yes, this would go into your themes functions.php

If you ask andy or lots others here should know, you need to disable buddypress body classes.

I’m presuming you will also have issues with conflicting javascript from the theme, I know I did.

I know someone else here on the boards was also working on this theme, maybe ask them.

It’s under the developers section Here’s a link
