BuddyPress.org

So as the topic title indicates, I just launched a public beta of my buddypress project. Arkansas History Hub – http://www.arhistoryhub.com/ – it’s a resource websites for Arkansas teachers who teach the Arkansas studies frameworks – K-12. I started months ago working with the BuddyBase theme as a framework and it has grown and changed considerably since then. Any thoughts or criticisms are welcome!

Hey guys, any chance we can have he opportunity to flag spam on the site, to help cut down on some of the spam – I use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-moderation/

Hi there,

it’s confusing to deal with two different names. People are not used to that and it will confuse them.

So I do not want to have both username and display name. Instead I want to provide one single field called „username“ only. There should show up only that field at registration – just as in most other forums.
This field should allow capital letters and blanks, too.

I read that BuddyPress uses these two names in order to prevent identical slugs.
But… if there’s someone called „John Doe“, the slug should be „john-doe“. From the name „Johndoe“, the slug should be „johndoe“. And if someone wants to register as „john doe“ afterwards, he should the receive the message that this name is already in use.

This can’t be that tricky to realize, right?

Is there already such a plugin?

Thanks,

Hi,

I want the main part of my website to be viewable by the public but would like to create a private area of my website where members need to sign-up and log-in to view the Buddypress sections (members, groups, forums etc). I want a tab or page that prompts people to sign-up or log-in. When logged-in, users are re-directed to a feature page which allows them to navigate the BuddyPress options (viewing members/groups/forums/activity, creating groups etc etc). I have looked through a variety of plugins. BuddyPress-private-community would seem to do some of what I want but using it would seem to require quite a lot of code writing abilities (that I lack). Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any easy-to-use plugins that will help me?

I would also like to adjust the template slightly of the Buddypress pages but again it would seem to need me to change quite a lot of code in the .css file. I am using PlatformPro template so am hoping there is a way to setup something within their templates that I can use.

Many thanks,
Saskia

Hi all,

After editing the category of a previously uploaded document in one of my groups today, the document list for that group, including the drop-down list to sort categories, disappeared, and was replaced with the “no documents have been uploaded to this group” screen. However, I can still upload documents, and the documents are referred to in my activity stream — the “no documents have been uploaded to this group” screen still remains, though. The links to previously uploaded documents also still work. Also, all of my other groups are unaffected.

I tried reinstalling Group Documents, and nothing changed. This warning, however, appears on my dashboard in the Group Documents section (whether it has always been there, or is in any way related, I wish I knew): Warning: opendir(/home/lhurst/encorefellowships.net/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/uploads/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/lhurst/encorefellowships.net/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents /include/admin-uploads.php on line 26.

I would appreciate any advice you have to offer! Happy 4th.

Im using bp_has_activities() and at first it work but then when i deactivated buddypress and reactivated it i now get a Fatal error: Call to undefined function bp_has_activities() Error and i don’t know why its doing this because before it was working.

Im trying to show the latest activity in the sidebar, and the bp_has_activities() function works in the profile and on the activity page just not in the sidebar

Here is the URL the error is in the sidebar: http://deafcube.com/

Hello all,

I apologize in advance for my ignorance regarding BuddyPress.

I currently have a WordPress site for my organization. I just installed the BuddyPress plug-in and am looking to allow certain people (our international partners, but nobody else) to be able to log-in to our website.

1) How can I create a log-in tab?
2) How can I ensure that only certain people are able to create user accounts and log-in?
3) Once those people are logged-in, is there any way to have a private section of the site that only they can access? On there would be access to fellow members’ profiles, an ability to post documents or photos to a forum thread, private message other members, etc?

Thank you!!
