I had a similar dilemma but managed to figure it out, even how to add javascript without screwing up the activity stream (see https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/add-content-above-activity-stream-in-bp12 ).

Assuming you’ve elected to have site activity shown on your home page, you want to add content to bp-default>activity>index.php. Not home.php. The neat thing is that you can add content that displays to non-logged-in users that is different than that displayed to logged-in users.

You can see it in action on my site here: http://rspace.org

Thanks for the mention nickbwatson. I did not write the code, it was assembled from several sources with help from BP developers.

In my version I generated the username/user URL from the fullname, onkeyup on the form. I use the same javascript trick for blog name. I think there were some security objections to doing that, but it works for me for now.

Someone earlier also posted a simpler php version that produces an entirely random string as value for username on a hidden input field. Can’t find that post…

By “maybe I’ll get to it soon” I meant “I’ll use this as a way to procrastinate this afternoon”.

When your within Buddypress, can you click on Geo Search Setup under the Buddypress tab? Whenever I click on it, it returns me to the main admin homepage. Also, if I click on the Geo tab on the website homepage…same thing, it sends me back to the websites homepage:(

the error log is probably in the root directory & should show you what is breaking the site.

As bbPress is installed correctly, it looks like it is a problem with the BuddyPresss theme with either incorrect php or calling an undefined/incompatible function.

What version of PHP is your server running?

Brajesh is not the same people as wpmudev.org. I refuse to pay 79/month to get a plugin and then have to pay for it again when it needs to be updated. I don’t mind paying 30 for 3 months for a plugin, especially since he has a great adaptable theme in cosmic buddy as well. He’s been working hard and has really taken a lot of our suggestions and added them. I completely agree about the subscription model but I treat it as a $30 expense for a really versatile gallery plugin and the assistance he gives me on my site. It’s like having a wp consultant nearby.

As per a recent dev chat:

People really loved the feature poll which was on the site back in the heady days of BuddyPress 1.0. We are going to create a new sub-forum where anyone can post any ideas or features into the hat that they’d like to see in future BuddyPress versions. A future dev chat will then go through the ideas, make a selection, then put those into a poll on the site for people to vote on. This will decide what happens to BuddyPress in 1.3 and beyond.

You’ll find fixes for delete button and activity feed link issues in this thread:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/activity-feed-feed-not-working-after-upgrade-113

I suggest to close this thread and mark as resolved.

EDIT – a better way is to replace with:

return apply_filters( 'bp_get_sitewide_activity_feed_link', site_url( 'buddypress/' . $bp->activity->slug . '/feed' ) );

P.S.: the delete fix works for me, thanks

You installed bbPress in your WordPress plugins directory which shouldn’t be done.

Either let BuddyPress install bbPress for you or install bbPress in it’s own directory.

BP Gallery Beta available now, Download test and Enjoy

Currently in beta, and looks to be quite awesome..

It can do most of what you wish, but I’m not sure about external hosting/cloud hosting of media

Steve,

thank you for your efforts. With your workaround to fix the sitewide activity feed link, you would still have to fix the rss feed reference in http header.

So here’s my suggestion – instead of using your workaround five posts above, modify the function bp_sitewide_activity_feed_link():

In wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-activity/bp-activity-templatetags.php, find around line 397:

return apply_filters( 'bp_get_sitewide_activity_feed_link', site_url( $bp->activity->slug . '/feed' ) );

And replace with:

return apply_filters( 'bp_get_sitewide_activity_feed_link', get_bloginfo( 'url'). '/buddypress/activity/feed' );

This also fixes the rss feed reference in http header.

[WPMU 2.9.1.1 with BP 1.1.3 //

looking forward to BP 1.2 final]

what about http://www.polldaddy.com

As Automattic wants to make money with PollDaddy, why not offer this as a “PollDaddy for BuddyPress Plugin” and Automattic charges some money for this Plugin ?

I guess many people will be happy to get this as a BP-Plugin and would be willing to pay money for this.

I’m watching this back and forth and wondering, what would be most successful long-term.

My answer: Standardization. Otherwise, I find it hard to believe someone will keep such an ambitious project going. This will likely happen through inclusion in core or just adoption rates.

Right now, I need a solution that works with BP, allows user-uploaded content and ties into third-party hosting. As WP moves more into CMS-mode, many of the “features” described in this post will be desirable for non-bloggers running large community sites. I think that for many nearly-free sites, creating large userbases is going to be a big problem in 6-12 months. I’m trying to plan around that problem.

I posted my ideas of extending the Cincopa plugin at https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/creating-a-cincopa-gallery-plugin-for-buddypress. I’d love thoughts on that, but I’d support a commercial solution for support that solved my third party hosting issue.

Thank you Andy. Just downloaded BuddyPress from trunk-r2614 to test and saw that only the bp-default theme is in bp-themes folder. Is bp-sn-parent and bp-classic being phased out?

fyi ~ I duplicated this error with trunk so I’ve reopened the ticket. https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1719

ACTIVATE PLUGINS FOR ALL BLOGS – First and foremost, one has to read the installation instructions of plugin authors. Some plugins might require uploading to wp-content/mu-plugins folder and some to the regular plugin folder or some plugins require to be uploaded to both mu-plugins and regular plugins folder.

Plugins uploaded to mu-plugins folder (per plugin author instructions) are already activated site-wide and will not be seen in Plugins > Installed unless that’s the way the plugin author set it up. Some mu-plugins do not need further configuration in Site Admin > Options or anywhere else, but some mu-plugins still need additional configurations in Site Admin > Options or somewhere else the plugin author specified.

Plugins uploaded to regular plugins folder may need to be activated sitewide in Plugins > Installed panel or may only be activated for a specific blog AND some plugins made for single WP may not be compatible with WPMU. Some Site Admins use the Plugin Commander plugin to activate a specific plugin sitewide. Even so, in certain cases where such plugin is not WPMU-ready/aware, Site Admin has configure settings of such plugin in each new blog or create a function to do so.

Finally, as DJPaul mentioned above, a better way to check if a plugin for single WP works in WPMU install, is to check out the WPMU forums or WPMU related forums and always check installation instructions of plugin authors.

THEMES ONLY FOR MEMBERS – BuddyPress setting – if you allow the BP members to create blogs and these members purchased a theme for their use only, you could activate the theme for that specific blog via Site Admin > Blogs > Edit link and associate that theme with the specific blog. Only that member will see the premium theme in his/her Appearance > Themes panel.

Site Admin needs to be vigilant about uploading free or premium themes in that there might be obfuscated or encrypted codes within the theme as you don’t exactly know where theme was downloaded from. In addition, some advanced themes would require uploading different theme files in root of installation to wp-admin and/or wp-includes folder which might totally break your install.

Excuse the long post, going thru a lazy rainy afternoon.
