BuddyPress.org

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m marking this as “not a support question” as it’s a question about site customisation/theming and not a bug with BuddyPress core.

You can do whatever you want if you can code a plugin for your needs. I hear it shouldn’t be hard for wordpress plugin developers to make one for buddypress as they’re the same.

This is 1.1 only, so if you are using an earlier version then you wouldn’t have seen them.

There are no specific checks on group names etc yet, but you can do this:

<?php if ( bp_is_groups_component() && 'my-group' == bp_current_item() ) : ?> This is my-group <?php endif; ?>

I was just writing up something, but Andy won that competition.

It’s also worth pointing out that rather than doing $bp->current_component != ‘groups’, you should be using $bp->current_component != $bp->groups->slug. This works if a site has decided to rename one of the built-in components.

I thought someone else reported this problem, and you were also reporting your problem there. I’m not sure if another of this is needed. But when you post questions, you SHOULD always include your server setup, like buddypress version, wpmu version, plugins in use.

In 1.1 you have:

bp_is_blog_page()

bp_is_register_page()

bp_is_activation_page()

bp_is_directory()

bp_is_single_item()



bp_is_profile_component()

bp_is_activity_component()

bp_is_blogs_component()

bp_is_wire_component()

bp_is_messages_component()

bp_is_friends_component()

bp_is_groups_component()

bp_is_settings_component()



bp_is_messages_inbox()

bp_is_messages_sentbox()

bp_is_messages_compose_screen()

bp_is_notices()



bp_is_user_friends()

bp_is_friend_requests()



bp_is_user_blogs()

bp_is_user_recent_posts()

bp_is_user_recent_commments()

bp_is_create_blog()



bp_is_user_groups()

bp_is_group_create()

bp_is_group_home()

bp_is_group_invites()

bp_is_group_members()

bp_is_group_forum_topic()

bp_is_group_forum()

bp_is_group_wire()

bp_is_group_leave()

bp_is_group_admin_page()



bp_is_user_profile()

bp_is_profile_wire()

bp_is_change_avatar()

bp_is_profile_edit()



bp_is_user_activity()

bp_is_user_friends_activity()

If you wanted to see if this was a single group page, in your template you could do:

<?php if ( bp_is_group_home() ) : ?>Show this on group home pages <? endif; ?>

Or if you wanted to show something on every single group page, regardless if it was the home page or not:

<?php if ( bp_is_groups_component() && bp_is_single_item() ) : ?> Show this on all single group pages <?php endif; ?>

I kinda think this looks weird/bad too, I love the standard way of communities too just focus on what you just clicked. I’ve been trying to find a solution to get rid of those 3 columns. But nothing so far.

I did saw a site a few weeks ago that looked like facebook while being build on buddypress. Would be nice if buddypress changes to this or at least provides an option to do this.

Edit: I found something great, http://3oneseven.com/08/bruce/. These buddypress themes are exactly what I’m looking for. I can’t test them right now, but if they work with the newest buddypress then this would be a solution for me.

Have any of those 20 people filled out their profile pages? See this Trac ticket for more information: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/470

Also, with BuddyPress v1.1, the Group API has been significantly rewritten. You may find that this issue goes away.

To add further credence to the healthy, continued existence of WordPress Mu and the strength and solidity of BuddyPress, 8 months ago I went through the same investigation, searching out the strongest, best supported, most flexible open-source based platform with which to build out a very large social network. I decided that WPMU + BuddyPress was the solution for me.

Since that time, I’ve fully immersed myself in both platforms, even becoming a moderator on theses forums (as you can see). Over that 8 month period, WPMU and BP have become even stronger, have improved in numerous ways. They are both at the stage where I am now very confident in their foundation. My project is now a go and I am currently feverishly working on building my platform. I hope to be rolling out a beta of my “professional grade community” by the first of the new year.

So do not worry about the future of WPMU or BuddyPress. The future is strong, bright, and healthy.

Okay… I must be an idiot but I can’t even get the plugin activated. I installed a fresh WPMU 2.8.4a with a fresh database and no plugins. No problem so far. Then I placed the release candidate files (bp-activity, bp-blogs, etc.) inside wp-content/plugins/buddypress and the plugin doesn’t even show up in the admin area. Wha? I went to “Site Admin” as well and enabled plugins in the options area. No dice. Weird. It just says “No plugins to show”

What do you mean? Are you looking for twitter OAuth which is an authentication protocol that allows users to approve application for buddypress?

Please search the forums before asking questions, you’d have found your answer. I suggest you read https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-privacy-component-an-update#post-23764.

There’re plenty ways! Search the plugins from Developer menu.

Don’t believe the hyperbole around “WordPress MU being discontinued”. It is simply merging with WordPress and all the features will be provided under that version. The misinformation on the internet about this is ridiculous.

BuddyPress does not yet have image galleries, this will come in the next version. Mark Jaquith developed GigaOm, so perhaps you can ping him to find out more.

Something like this is in the works for future releases of BuddyPress.

I also just noticed that buddypress profiles don’t import from wordpress profiles or vice versa. It takes enough tooth pulling to get people to complete one profile. Adding those fields to sign up would be good because required fields would also have some anti-spam benefits.

There’s wpmu plugin to categorize members, but not for buddypress. The code is GPL, so you shouldn’t have problems porting it work with bp. Visit wpmudev.

Okay, a few questions to start:

• From your description, it is not clear how you’ve attempted to debug your setup. When trying to figure out an issue with BuddyPress, it is best to distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator. This means switching to the default BP theme and deactivating all plugins except BP. It is not clear if you did this completely or just partially. In other words, you need to fully test your BP install without any 3rd-party addons. If it works in that state, then you can safely assume it is an issue with a custom theme, another plugin, or both. So, did you reset BP to its lowest common denominator?
• What errors are you seeing in your server’s log files?
• Could you please provide details about this setup:
  

  I have Buddypress installed in a subfolder with another wordpress installation in the root…
