Hi designodyssey
Yes I have a solution for this. It’s not up for download (or free, for that matter) so send me a message if you want some details.
I used xprofile fields as mine is a BuddyPress solution and the Extended Profile is part of BuddyPress but most importantly I had to to achieve related design goals.
Hi Peter
I’ve sent you an email but thought it might help to post the message here too in case it’s relevant to others:
Hi Peter
Many thanks for the great Group Documents plugin for BuddyPress, which I’m testing with BuddyPress 1.2 RC3.
In my testing, I’ve come across the following error when uploading a document to a group:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/richbest/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/include/notifications.php on line 23
Do you know what might be causing that please?
Would be grateful for your help.
Many thanks.
Best regards
Richard
DJPaul with all due respect I don’t know why you are so dismissive of a FB connect feature??? Let me say as someone who actually uses the software to run a community, this is a very important feature and has become almost a de-facto “must have” to grow a small social community. The easier you can make it for people to join the larger and more diverse your BuddyPress users and community will be. While I might not like some things about Facebook personally turning a blind eye towards effectively using FBConnect is literally like shooting oneself in the foot. Just like changing the default theme was critical to wider adoption, I can assure you having good social connect features will help broaden BuddyPress’s appeal even more.
Is there a way to set a user as a BuddyPress admin without giving them access to administration for the whole site?
I’d like to give someone access to do the non technical administration – to be able to edit other users profiles, change their avatars, take control of any group etc but don’t want them to have access to any site settings, plugins, themes etc.
We did not write the WordPress FB Connect plugin. You need to talk to the author. I’ve marked this thread as not a support issue as it is not to do with BuddyPress.
Hi,
Thanks , Ok will do it from Buddypress.
197 Countries in a drop-down list will take a bit of time=)
Just one question – how do you change “name” to “full name” , because I don’t think you can edit that from Buddypress menu area?
Don’t modify core files.
You add new fields to registration from the backend in the BuddyPress menu area. just fill out what you want and they get added automagically.
Just overwrite the buddypress folder.
I’ve installed the Carrington theme/plugin site-wide on this site, but I don’t have a smartphone yet, so I don’t even know how to test it. If you have a chance to take a look on your mobile, let me know…
I guess it’s not detected in online emulators, not this one anyway. Are there other/better emulators I could try?
The Carrington theme is only WordPress of course. I’m curious if it at least works on the blog parts, including member blogs, or not at all. Perhaps it is possible to expand that theme.
deleting the folder and using RC3 didn’t go too well. main page is all messed up. looked inside themes page and thumbnail is not showing.
with all respect, I’m simply following the directions from Andy’s developer post which states, “If you are upgrading from an earlier pre-release version then you can just overwrite the BuddyPress plugin directory.”
So are you saying that for those that are upgrading from RC2 and getting the same error, we can simply delete the entire buddypress plugin folder and replace it?
I’ve come to a resolution in the Bug Report I filed.
One foolish error on my part was placing the define statement in the wrong area of wp-config.php (after the “no more edits” comment).
Regardless, I think this has clarified the bug I was actually experiencing.
The BP_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE flag does stop the issues associated with periods in the username from occurring, as it appears to be designed to.
I’m running into an problem, however, where usernames with “@” in them are causing a very odd issue. For some reason if a username has an “@” in it, it will cause 2 problems I’ve found so far:
1.) Clicking on the “Create a Group” link takes you back to the BuddyPress home page
2.) Posting on your own wire does post the message, but for some reason redirects you to the BuddyPress home page after hitting post.
…I have to admit I’m a little baffled as to why there needs to be a “username compatibility mode”. Wouldn’t using the “user_nicename” for everything (except just literally displaying the username) sidestep any issues with the actual form of the username? I’m just speaking from my wealth of ignorance, but that just seems weird to me.
I was confused so I started over and configure up to my previous set up.
Install wordpress2.9.1 (configure permalink)
install buddypress12rc2 (select default theme – no other install or changes)
then …
install buddypress1.2.rc3 over buddypress12rc2.
Produced the same error.
You should not be copying or moving bp-default from the BuddyPress folder, so technically this sort of thing should never happen.
It didn’t work at all for me but I’m new to buddypress so the fixes may be minor if you already know the framework. I didn’t get any mnus on wp-admin and the tab with the skeleton features redirected to the home page.
single Wp or wpmu? which version of buddypress ?
If single wp, enable permalink.
Ditto, I so need to know…

A tutorial for this will be put up, it’s not a priority until after 1.2 is released.
You don’t have to do anything.. Just install BuddyPress on a single WordPress install and all your users are contributors by default.. This means they can submit posts easily. You can make the process much easier by using a plugin like TD Midi Forms which allows your users to submit posts from the front end and even allow them to edit their own posts. A good tutorial:
http://thedeadone.net/blog/tutorial-video-for-tdo-mini-forms/
Good luck 
One of the things I would like to cover on the new BP-Tricks site, is how to do this.. Maybe with a videotutorial or atleast a few written tuts. This will be a matter of time, don’t forget how much is changing everyday for BP, there are only a handfull of people who have done this
