BuddyPress.org

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.

Hi,

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.

Please can we not resurrect 4 month old threads? The BuddyPress code changes so much in this sort of time frame. I am locking this thread, please start a new one if you want to discuss this.

However, with regards timestamp issues, there were some fixes for this in the upcoming BuddyPress 1.2 release. It’ll be out soon.

Will it be an app or just a theme?

By the way – looks good (clean and simple)

polldaddy has a WP plugin but its for the blog not the social side.

These aren’t BuddyPress questions. Look on the WordPress and WordPress MU websites and forums.

1) BuddyPress 1.2 will be compatible with WordPress and WordPress MU. It will be out soon.

2) Don’t resurrect 9 month old threads

Yes really nice work! I just post it on BPinspire.com to spread the word
