BuddyPress.org

what needs to happen is to delay building BP_Group_Twitter until BP_Group_Extension is loaded.

… the best way to make your groups API plugin work in BP 1.1.3 is to force BP to load at the beginning of your plugin

How could I achieve that? Add required …/buddypress.php (?) at the top of the plugin?

Will Andy update/fix these plugins?

I don’t have a solution for all your problems but assigning different “user” types to your site is easy:

– Create a xprofile field in your BuddyPress admin. For example: What kind of user are you:

a. Swimmer

b. Skater

c. Surfer

– Install the BP Member filter plugin: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/bp-member-filter

– Users can now filter members on the member directory page to find certain usertypes

The only thing you might want to look into is to show/hide specific xprofile fields for different groups. That’s more advanced and requires some new code to be written by someone

Good luck!

edit: Maybe if you combine both tips from Boris and me you just got your solution

ps: I’m interested in the jquery profile fields stuff as well.. sounds handy!

I would like to bring up this topic again, as it is very crucial to the development of my website and I want to see if there have been any updates in the 10 months since this was posted. Right now I have blogs disabled, the main purpose of the site is to have different types of users interact on the site, and be able to search the site based the different details in their profiles..

Multiple profile types:

For my website I would like to have 4 profile types, all profiles have the same permissions, they just have different details listed in their public profile. These details can be defined during the registration process.

2-Stage registraion:

When the user decides to register, they are prompted with a page where they will select their profile type. Upon selecting their profile type, they will be taken to a second part of the registration process where they will fill in their profile information, each type of profile having a different form to fill in.

This should go along the lines of what Dev posted, minus the permissions. This is a huge hurdle for me to overcome, and if I can there will be one more addition to the Buddypress Community. Any help or direction is appreciated.

I don’t think that bp 1.1.3 has a bp_init action, just to clarify. In fact I don’t think 1.1.3 has any do_actions that fire as the plugin is being loaded, before plugins_loaded, although I could be wrong.

If I am correct, it means that in bp < 1.2, there is no add_action that can hook your plugin into loading classes or other code on a Buddypress load event.

In 1.2, bp_init solves this by firing at the end of the load of the buddypress files. bp_init does not depend on any WP action to fire. If you hook into bp_init, your plugin will have instant access to all Buddypress classes and functions.

As far as I can tell, the best way to make your groups API plugin work in BP 1.1.3 is to force BP to load at the beginning of your plugin. As to why 2.9.1 brings these issues to the forefront, I have absolutely no idea, but I have tested this as well and it definitely seems to be the culprit. There may be a performance it if you load BP this way, but I have checked and it at least does not load things twice.

Good to hear you’re still up! none of the other chat-solutions seemed quite like what I need. Yours seemd a couple of month ago already ahead . Looking forward…!

@M keep up the good work,but please can you extend your twitter plugin with a page for user’s followers tweets & avatar? “

Hi please help thie BP noob

I’m testing BP with view to upgrade site to this.

The theme works on the main page: http://cre8radiofm.net/v2/

but! http://cre8radiofm.net/v2/blogs and you see what happens.

The theme totally disappears! This is just a standard installation as described in the set up guide, what am I missing here?

Thanks for your help

To use bbPress plugins, you need a seperate bbPress install, not the integrated sort installed by BuddyPress.

I think we’re kind of in the same boat – and the help I was given in another thread was that for THAT kind of control, you need to disable bbpress within BuddyPress and do bbpress as its own, separate install.

Of course, if I’m off on that, someone will likely pounce in short order.

have you a PO files oin buddypress for translate to Other Languages?

How can I translate to another language

Don’t use the bbpress inside buddypress and install bbpress stand-alone, so install it seperate and make it deep integration.

I get this error with the BuddyPress Group Twitter plugin in BP 1.1.3 + WPMU 2.9.1:

Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in /public_html/mysite/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-twitter/bp-group-twitter.php on line 15

Could M’s solution fix this plugin? Has anyone applied that yet?

Isn’t WP 3.0 due near July or later?

So basically we’re going to be waiting until the latter part of 2010, then?

If you’re just waiting for BP 1.2, then we could definitely see an earlier release!

It was JJJ that posted it:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/how-to-make-your-plugin-buddypress-12-aware

Try putting something like this at the beginning of the plugin: (not tested for all cases but worked for me). What screws up groups API is when BP gets loaded after the plugin and your plugin can’t find the class its supposed to extend. I have no idea why wpmu 2.9.1 brings out this issue.

function load_buddypress() {

//buddypress is loaded

if ( function_exists( 'bp_core_setup_globals' ) )

return false;



// Get the list of active sitewide plugins

$active_sitewide_plugins = maybe_unserialize( get_site_option( 'active_sitewide_plugins' ) );

$bp_activated = $active_sitewide_plugins['buddypress/bp-loader.php'];



//bp is not activated

if ( !$bp_activated ){

return false;

}



//bp is activated but not yet loaded

if ( $bp_activated ) {

return true;

}



return false;

}



//load bp if its activated and not loaded

if ( load_buddypress() ){

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

}

This made it work one of my plugins. It basically forces BP to load at the beginning of your plugin. And something in WP prevents it from loading twice if it does this.

I have to confirm this issue on my site.

Did you already recognize the other thread Activity Stream bug?
