BuddyPress.org

I’m trying to acheive the pretty much the same thing as Peterverkooijen.

@Scotm – the “extension pack” you mention – is that the same as the “BuddyPress Template Pack”?

Thanks!

wordpress and buddypress are not proprietary scripts, you do not have to pay to delete the copyright or the product name, there is no license related to the product name.

the reason why you see the names and links to the original projects is what we call respect and credits… nothing more. you can still respect the authors and give credits to them if someone ask… so yes, you can delete everything you need to.

that is the answer to the OP.

@MrMaz … sure i know about the settings, but they are not set in a admin panel… that’s what i mean.. would be great, as many admins know nothing about file edits, so you bring more requests to have support by not providing a panel.

oh, btw, redirects still does not fix… on my side, it’s not blank pages, i’m always redirected to the main page of the site as the permalink does not work…missing loop maybe.

also, i can’t get the language to work… is there something i have to check? my site is in french, and the language files seems to be compatible, even if some missing phrases…

you are allowed to delete the word “BuddyPress”, but you need to keep the word “Ning.com” in there…..

Like Ray says: If you have a child theme, simply copy over /wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/footer.php to your child theme and modify to your liking.

Hi, I just installed buddypress on my wordpress blog that is currently running bbpress. I guess I am missing something. I thought buddy press could run along side my blog and not take it over. I was hoping to create a community with buddypress and keep the template and look of my current blog. Is that possible? I installed it as a plugin through wp.

BuddyPress without Privacy-feature is killing my project !

+13

guess thats the lucky number for Jeff

My PayPal is waiting for you, Jeff !

The folder ‘trunk’ holds the lastest version that was edited (= buddypress developer version). ‘tags’ are snapshots (tags/1.2 = BP 1.2) and are not edited after tagging. If you using 1.2 stable please use tags/1.2 and if you using the lastest developer version you sould use the trunk version which is regularly updated.

I believe I have a similar problem . Here’s copy from my sever error log. This may help if someone knows what it means.

72.51.225.210 – – [21/Feb/2010:14:31:13 +0000] “GET /wp-admin/plugins.php?activate=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1 HTTP/1.1” 500 1131 “http://bloganation.net/wp-admin/plugins.php?deleted=true&plugin_status=all&paged=1” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.

There’s no water proof way of securing all components (without some sacrificice at least).

But check this for example:

As Open Source projects, anyone is free to fork any of the WordPress family of products as long as they adhere to the GPL licensing. In fact, WordPress itself started as a fork of another blogging platform.

However, Automattic will not fork its own products. With Andy as the only full-time Automattic employee working on BuddyPress, there is already too much for him to do with the current BuddyPress product, not to mention that forking your own product is basically creating a competitor.

Forking is not a task that should be taken lightly. Successful Open Source projects require a lot of supporting infrastructure: from a project repository; to an up-to-date and maintained project website; to a core team of developers; to a community that springs up and supports the project fork; to a support forum to offer help to users. These are just a few of the many requirements of creating and growing a healthy OS project.

But that should not stop you or anyone else who feels they have a different vision for the future of the platform to fork it and take it in a different direction.

The website is noutate.info/links

Everything is last version WPMU, BuddyPress, BP-Links.

On the previous version I use on social.reallyfuckedup.com/links, categories work perfectly.

And… where can I find or how can I use that ‘slug’ ?

Thank you

Hi Peter!

Is it possible to also include “activity” (the stream) from Buddypress 1.2 in this? That way, you’d cover most things.

Thanks!

I’m managing the German translation and site. Anyone who has improvements for the German translation should PM me with the suggestions. Thats currently the simplest way. For ‘de.buddypress.org’ I need a few days more to complete it.

Quick solution:

Add the following to the top of groupblog.php:

/*** Make sure BuddyPress is loaded ********************************/

if ( !function_exists( ‘bp_core_install’ ) ) {

require_once( ABSPATH . ‘/wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’ );

if ( is_plugin_active( ‘buddypress/bp-loader.php’ ) )

require_once ( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/buddypress/bp-loader.php’ );

else {

return;

}

}

/*******************************************************************/

Works for me Thanks Mark

when i suggest to post a ticket is relatively to the fact that if plugin X is deactivated, any related plugin is deactivated as well… this is a check that does not exists in WP yet, or it would ease a lot of debugs i can tell you… adding more if and asking people to check the code when they are not coders is not the good way to do things…

@MrMaz … not disabling, but see, when we create a link, we have the choice to use the default one or upload a new thumb… would be good in the admin side of things to enable/disable a default thumbnail. there is actually no default settings for your engine, some of them could be done simply:

– default thumbnail (choose, yes, no)

– force description or force metadata

– list categories as dropdown or menu *(kinda like google http://www.google.com/dirhp?hl=en ?)

– choice of metadata to auto-catch (title, desc, keywords,author, language, etc)…

… i know that most of these can be plugins, but as suggestions posted, someone can take-over.

You can actually switch themes on users under certain conditions via a plugin, so no, it’s not a core thing to go in WP.

Second, you can make the theme not error out when BP is turned off. Someone should run thru the code with some ifs and submit a patch.

Has anyone asked Rafe (the dev) directly? He’s pretty friendly.

I guess there will be exactly something like that. http://www.buddypress.de “sucks” because no one is responsible since Dennis left Inspyde (the guys behind buddypress.de). If you are interested in collaboration you could join the community and become a moderator ore something like that.

As DJPaul mentioned anyone can edit the codex pages (as you can see i did it for german language site).

You can find the “edit” link in the bottom left corner once you are logged in.

i’m really looking forward for the de.buddypress.org site. I’m gonna write Dennis if he needs some help. Hope to see you involved too.
