BuddyPress.org

Thank you! It is one of the most expected features i’d like to have

BTW, what with rating on comments? some of them sometimes are great and it’ll be good to rate them also!

demilio, I didn’t yet manage to put the content on different lines, but maybe you want to look at this threat for a half solution:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-real-names/

I tried that but the registration form doesn’t change and all and when I click the Buddypress button in the site admin it redirects me to my homepage. The title of the plugin sounds good, but if it worked that would be better.

You have to go inot the BP folders that are added to the theme, and wherever there’s a “content” div, match that up to the HTML markup in the original theme.

If it;s overly complicated in the theme – yeah, pain in the ass. (which is why there’s unfinished themes on my hard drive )

@Andrea_r it was globalpress bought it from themeforest pain in the bum to do.

I basically follow the steps as in the Buddypress template pack, however I have had issues with matching up the div and content classes / containers.

I know that once I have actually done it once, I will be able to do it again but its a nightmare, I think the theme is overly complicated.

If you don’t want to get into the database, the simplest way would be to create another administrator account, logging in as the new admin, and deleting the user named admin.

PS: @hnla Buddypress now works with regular WP, too.

don’t forget to vote for and rate other buddypress plugins you’ve tried: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/buddypress

Try modifying some of these settings in /wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php or in wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_WIDTH', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_THUMB_HEIGHT', 50 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_WIDTH', 150 );

define ( 'BP_AVATAR_FULL_HEIGHT', 150 );

Code revised to give protection even if buddypress gets deactivated: adds a second line of defence by hooking a wordpress action too. I’ve assumed that there’s no conflict here, but I don’t know if these two hooks collide. It seems to work ok.

bp_core_redirect( site_url( BP_LOGIN_SLUG ) );

}

}

function wp_lockdown() {

if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {

auth_redirect( 'wp-login.php' );

}

}



add_action( 'bp_init', 'bp_lockdown');

// if no buddypress, have a backup plan

add_action( 'send_headers', 'wp_lockdown');

?>

I pasted Burt’s code to the end of function.php and I get a blank page

Did I miss something?

[wordpress2.9.2 + buddypress1.2.1]

Works 100%.

Note that using this method, if buddypress became deactivated, all of your site’s posts, and the comments, would become completely visible.

Is this what you are looking for?

any luck with this…i want to do something similar

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/need-help-with-plugin

I’ve submitted a ticket for the issue of wp-login not being registered as a root_component:

https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2074

There’s a patch attached to that ticket, to make the necessary changes to bp-core.php

And here’s my revision of the lockout plugin:

Some feedback on the Funding progress bar: maybe you could set it to a more reasonable amount so there’s a goal to work towards and we can actually see the progress bar move after a donation. 9,000 USD might be a bit steep

Um, I’m not sure what you mean. Are you asking if I purge the older buddypress folder, upload the new one, then uploaded the any files I’ve customized? Yes. I left that detail out. That’s why the backup is essential! I made sure to overwrite some standard BP files with the saved customized files I’ve created.

I’m experiencing this too. Running BP 1.2.1, WPMU 2.9.1, PHP Version 5.2.9-2, Apache 2.2.11 (Win32). On the previous version, the Who’s Online work perfectly, on the current version, I just get the annoying “There are no users currently online”.

I know that there are at least 16 people online, but for some reason, they are not displayed. I Google’d for a solution, but have not (up to now) found anyone experiencing this with the new version.

BuddyPress 1.2.1

WPMU 2.9.1

PHP 5.2.9

MySQL 5.0.51a

Apache 2.2.11

OS Windows Vista Business 32-bit

Theme: BuddyPress Default 1.2.1

Plugins: BuddyPress 1.2.1, Simple LDAP Login 1.3.0.3

Yeah, it seems to work fine by replacing the three lines of the username block with mt_rand. However be sure that there are letters somewhere in the value, such as the “mem” above. Buddypress will throw back an error without letters.

Also this probably wouldn’t work with large websites with thousands of people, as the chance of generating the same username goes up. You’d probably have to write a function that generates a long string of random letters and numbers.

So, how many people are employed by Auttomatic to work on this project?

One. Andy.

I’ve been poking around for some time and I’m a little surprised that not one person has been confused by the complete lack of security in BuddyPress.

You need to poke around a little more.

Also, privacy is on the BuddyPress roadmap.

As Andy states, implementing privacy in BP or any social network is not an easy task. I am working on updating my older privacy component to work with BP 1.2 and WP/WPMU 2.9.x. It will be awhile longer before I have a working alpha for testing. But, privacy is coming to BuddyPress!
