@Xevo,
no, I am not talking as “Polls” being a plugin. There have been user-polls in the past at this very Forum, at which everyone could vote on features they would like to see in the future-versions of BuddyPress.
In general, all I want to say with my initial post is that we should not loose sight of what kind of features are really important.
Everybody has different priorities and everybody needs a certain feature, but we should not loose sight that certainly everybody will need “Privacy Features”.
Privacy might not be very important in the USA, but I can tell you gonna have quite big troubles in running a Social-Network in many countries in Europe, without providing User-Privacy.
There is a good chance you gonna run into legal troubles – which is quite critical, besides that users will complain about finding their private information on Search-Engines like Google. Just think about running a Dating-website, where users post lots of private information, but literally its not safe for them to use your website.
The other feature of “Advanced Search & X-Profile Fields” should be also within Core-Code and will definitely enhance every website being run on BP, no matter your niche. Think about -for example- performing a search for the users at your website being “male” and at an age-range between “20 and 30 years of age”. This is currently not possible.
The necessity of the feature of “User-Blogs-Posts from Front-end” is debateable, most probably not being used by everyone. But did you ever go into the “backend” of Facebook in order to write a post ?
Anyhow, just wanted to highlight to make sure you still see the forest in a clutter of trees…..
@Xevo, I’m pretty sure Erich73 was not asking for a poll plugin. I think his comment was about the relative pointlessness of open polls for new features, when there are still many core issues that should be fixed first.
I remember we’ve gone through this over six months ago, also with a poll and promises that certain features, like privacy, would become core in version 1.2 and 1.3. Very little of that has materialized.
… I can see that users of wordpress/buddypress wanting the wp-admin to be only for admins as the name suggests and keep the users off the creepy admin panel.
Absolutely. That’s why I’m trying to sort out front-end posting with P2 and/or Posthaste. Raoulduke is working on it as well.
yes – I logged in as that user – doesn’t see it. I will try again with the branch… (by the way – any more ideas on this very strange issue: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/after-update-private-hidden-groups-empty – sorry to use this thread, but it’s important to me 
)
@Michael Berra – did you log in as this user and confirm they cannot see the blog? Also – don’t use the trunk, use the 1.2 branch:
https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/branches/1.2/
@ 21dcb
I believe that Polls should be a plugin made by some third party plugin developer. That’s why I said that, I do believe some buddypress users could use something like that. Also seeing that Erich said it was in the development list for 1.3, I figured it was for the core buddypress.
Also, Facebook was build off the ground, I can see that users of wordpress/buddypress wanting the wp-admin to be only for admins as the name suggests and keep the users off the creepy admin panel.
@ DJPaul
So on which items the most votes are, is going to be developed first?
Thanks for the update Peterverkooijen – I’m going to put this all together today. I’m not at the stage to work with the group blogs.
Totally agree, Erich73.
I’d also add privacy (making parts members-only etc.), another core feature that was promised a year ago and again after polling last Fall, but disappeared from the priority list for 1.2 and 1.3. Poor Jeff Sayre has been struggling with that without any support from Automattic.
‘User-Blogs-Posts from Front-end’ can be done in most places by integrating the P2 theme or using the Posthaste plugin. Both work fine on regular blog index/home pages.
I’m trying to get it to work on the group blog homepage. No luck so far. Will post for download today or tomorrow two versions of the excellent bp-groupblog with P2 and Posthaste code integrated, as far as I can figure them out. I will need some help fixing them.
yep your right, php memory limit it was at 32 and now its been increased to 96. I was running a membership plugin along with buddypress and it was sucking up all the memory.
Now with that increased i can run two of the plugins.
Great! Many thanks for your help.
I think I forgot to change something in wiki comment php and revision compare php files. Going to update now and release a new version.
@nexia
Sticky link is a really good idea. I think I will add that one sooner than later.
List in multiple categories is on the long term development time line. Some time in the future I will be attempting (again) to switch the categories to the internal WP api which is almost impossible to hook into, and at the same time I will be adding tag support. This is going to be a while though.
This is not a BuddyPress question; you should be asking on the WPMU forums.
Hey r-a-y, than you for your reply
I have some little questions, after i’ve read all topics around here (i guess) about bbpress and buddypress combined:
– To have a forum as it is on buddypress.org/forums, you need to install bbpress seperatly and integrate it with wordpress. Does this way allow the Group Forums, as if you install bbpress within buddypress (not seperaly) ? (maybe there is a plugin for that as far as i know, but know nothing about its stability with the new buddypress);
– I’ve installed bbpress within buddypress, (not a seperate bbpress install). I made a group called Forums to check if forum will be enabled in it…and yes it is as you can see here. http://myislamicblog.com/groups/forums/forum/
But the problem is if you noticed, the Forums Link on the right menu doesnt appear next to blogs and groups.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!
hi dj paul, thanks for the quick reply …
this means that this guide:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/install-buddypress-on-a-secondary-blog/
is wrong / obsolete, right?
can you help me a bit further with
“The templates aren’t designed to be used like this. Make or download a new child theme where you override header.php and set the links manually. “
– what does it mean, set links manually?
by now i went through the codex several times and wasn’t able to find out …
thx
I believe all these problems relate to when a user is *added* to a blog with higher than subscriber privileges. BuddyPress wasn’t recording this action correctly. I’ve fixed this in the 1.2 branch. Please give that version a go and see if that fixes your issues. Remember to de-activate/activate BP to refresh your user blogs table.
sugg: screenshot of website *(like websnapr, etc ) — i don’t need it but it is a major feature.. 
sugg: detection of rss feed and display of link to it
sugg: deadlink check, cronjob based or anything…
sugg: switch to require approval
sugg: featured link to stick on top of list *(or not, just featured)
sugg: list in multiple categories *(i have more than 500 links to add and some goes in different cats, like in google)
sugg: switch to minimized listing for viewer
@nexia
You are the only person who has reported a problem with the translations. Chouf1 is the person who is my translation expert who helped me set it up. Maybe he can help you?
@pjnu
Most popular sorts based on a popularity algorithm similar to Digg. The filter you want is Highest Rated.
I have been getting a TON of requests for minor tweaks that may or may not be useful to everyone. I am making notes of these, but for now my focus is on adding core features. If I spend too much time tweaking the templates development will stall.
Anyone who needs small changes to the interface I would encourage to play with the templates and template tags. If you think your modifications could be useful to everyone, send me the code and I will adapt it for the core if its acceptable
Okay, thanks for your fast reply.
Ok people, step back from your keyboards and take a deep breath.
1) The ‘ideas’ forum collects any ideas that people want to see in future BP version.
2) After some period of time, I am going to make a list of all the ideas. I am going to take it to a http://bpdevel.wordpress.com/ BuddyPress dev chat, and those present (everyone is welcome) will help decide which of those ideas to go into a poll on this website.
3) Everyone can then go to the poll on this website and vote what they would like to see in BP version 1.3, 1.4, and so on. Results will be announced by Andy Peatling and the Roadmap updated.
This is very similar to what happened around the 1.0 release.
Like what 21cdb said:
Humans always looking out for their own interests, thats natural behaviour, but we should always keep in mind to respect interests of the public and of the parties concerned as well.
A poll is a great way to determine what the public needs are. I believe it will give the main developers good impressions in which directions they should focus in the future.
Found the solution here:
https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/changing-internal-configuration-settings/
with instructions to create and put in a file called /plugins/bp-custom.php
Change the default tab opened when looking at a user’s profile (default is activity):
define( ‘BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT’, ‘profile’ );
The templates aren’t designed to be used like this. Make or download a new child theme where you override header.php and set the links manually.
For anyone following the thread to date: Armand Morin’s question (how to add the BuddyPress Nav to the theme) gets answered here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/creating-nav-bar
