@rogercoathup Just dropped you a message on your site mate!
As long as your users won’t need to create their own blogs, then BuddyPress installed with regular WordPress should be fine. I don’t know of any BuddyPress-specific plugins that’ll accomplish what you’re asking, but I think if you browse around in the WP plugin directory you might find some suitable solutions.
First, i am not sure if this is the right thread. If not, mods please help me to move it, i dont find any link to forum topics, i just click breadcrumb links and brought me here.
I have 2 questions. I want to make photo sharing site, or photo submission site. I want to use Buddypress since i am a big fan of WP. The site will be a simple community site, which has all the Buddypress has to offer, EXCEPT, the members cannot create their own gallery, me as admin will create and they can submit their photos to the category i created. Such as, Black & White, Landscape, etc.
1. Since WP 3.0.1 is released, do i need to install Buddypress or the WP itself is enough since WP 3.0.1 support multisites.
2. I know a few Buddypress plugins for media sharing such as buddypress media, but if i am not mistaken all those plugin allow members create their own gallery right? What i want is they just can submit their photos to the categories created by me, rating it, comment it and share it via social networks. Is this possible?
So Im up and running with Buddypress. Inside of 24hours a spammer starts groups and blogs about streaming porn. How do I stop this from happening ?

@rogercoathup Wow, sounds like a bit of work there! hahaha!
The directory would work in the exact same way as the members directory in terms of the search but each listing doesn’t have to have a profile or anything, just a name, address and contact info.
Do you guys have anything in your current inventory that could be adapted? And how much are we looking at to code something like this. It just needs to be the simplest method possible as long as people can look up the names of the listings and what they are known for supplying.
Thanks again!
There’s no off the shelf plugin for this, but it is possible to develop a solution (a lot more than a workaround!):
You could either do this by having a profile type for businesses, or developing a solution around custom posts / custom fields.
You’ll then have to build your own custom listing directory – not too hard! The BP profile directory already has a built in search that you could adapt / use directly.
We are building similar in a number of current BuddyPress client projects – and Poolie has also developed a very nice listings site based on BuddyPress: http://plazaa.de
Hi all!
I would love to have a section of my site that lists a directory of names and addresses for businesses which is searchable by name or keyword. Is there any way to do this with an existing plugin or workaround?
It would be a list of names, addresses, phone numbers and email contacts for a few hundred people.
So as an example it would have an entrant such as:
Jo Bloggs
The Street
Somewhere
NE Wh3R
Tel: 01234 567 8901
Email: this@that.com
Famous For: Lightbulbs, Light Fittings
I would need the name searchable and also more importantly the ‘Famous For’ bit at the end would have to be searchable by keyword.
Any ideas would be so very much appreciated.
Thanks

It’s highly unlikely that it’s a bug in the activity stream – hundreds / thousands of sites run the BuddyPress activity stream without problem.
It’s almost certainly something wrong in your bespoke theme / bp-custom.php file.
Have you changed the theme since the second person carried out their activity? Does it show in the main site activity stream? Have you installed some privacy plugins, or has the member specified that their activity is private? Is the site hidden from search engines?
It’s impossible to provide much more help without a lot more information about your site configuration and the details of your theme code.
Ah! I was thrown by a prompt that said the theme offered logo management – perhaps the mention referred to the default buddypress theme. I appreciate your answer, though.
This question would be better directed to the plugin developer (it’s not really a BuddyPress question)… they should be able to tell you what elements you need to have defined in your theme.
Note: We use wp-fb-autoconnect on one of our bespoke BuddyPress sites without problem.
If you want to display profile information in the sidebar, you should write your own custom profile loop – the following page gives you an introduction:
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-profile-data-loop-bp_has_profile/
I have added this plugin to my single installation buddypress site, with a modified default theme.
I can load the window, enter facebook login details, but then I get the following js error:
document.jfb_js_login_callback_form is undefined
Break on this error document.jfb_js_login_callback_form.submit();
Any ideas how I can fix this? My knowedge of javascript is zilch.
Did you follow the instructions on this page: https://pl.buddypress.org/home/ ?
You may also want to make sure you have the language specified in your wp-config:
`
/**
* WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.
*
* Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen
* language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install
* de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ to enable German
* language support.
*/
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
`
change to Polish in your case, of course!
I use wordpress 3.0.1 with buddypress 1.2.5.2. I want add some JQUERY on the page, and where to add a custom js on the head of the theme?
Anyway, can wp allow to be added any php code like include and require_once?
I have tried elgg, it did not work well 
I just setup a new installation of wordpress/buddypress. I created an admin account and can login fine.
However…
I imported a csv file of users and email addresses from the previous system that was running under joomla. I see these names fine in the users list. I did not import passwords. So I have used the forgotten password function so reset a password. All email are sent properly however when I try to login with the new password that is generated I get the warning as if it is an incorrect password.
I also reset passwords manually in PHPmyadmin but that does not work either. Same result as if I entered an incorrect password.
Now if I create a new account, I can login fine, problem is only with the imported accounts.
Any suggestions on what to try next?
@jhansensd Agree with @hnla. You asked for advice and that’s the standard one that you’ll get to isolate what the conflict is. You might also want to check out
https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/before-installing/#wp-configuration
Then if all’s well with BP plugin, you activate your custom theme and see how it works out. install the other WP plugins one by one to find out which one is conflicting with BP.
EDIT – took too long to answer, two already did
Yes, @hnla ‘s suggestion was the correct suggestion. That’s the only way you’re going to figure out the issue. You disable all your plugins, you’ll probably have to rename the buddypress folder to allow access the the admin panel, but then you can use the bulk edit abilities in the plugin panel to deactivate every plugin at once. Then start from scratch. Activate BP, and minimally configure it, then one-by-one, reactivate your plugins until you find the culprit.
@jhansensd
Yes, it is a common issue… and almost always plugin or theme related.
Follow the advice given by @hnla to troubleshoot your install.
Start by deactivating your custom theme to see if that’s the problem.
If not, then deactivate all plugins, and reactivate them one by one to track it down.
Congratulations again! Kudos.We’re all excited as well
@ithacaindy
Yes, the theme will support custom menus via the addition of my Add-All-Nav-Links-to-BP-Adminbar plugin.
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/
http://nowrecovery.com/justfunstuff/add-all-nav-links-to-bp-adminbar/
The original idea for this theme, and the reason I’m developing it, was to help make navigation more streamlined for users by combining the adminbar and main nav into a single unit. I released the plugin first, ‘cuz it works just fine with child themes of bp-default. Now I’m working on the theme to go with it. Of course, the theme will work just fine without the plugin, but…
When will it be available to purchase? Hopefully by the end of this month, I’ll have an initial release of the freebie. If all goes well on road tests of that release, the premium should become available by end of November.
It’s an old bug with bbPress or BuddyPress, I’m not sure which. After backing up your database, try changing the encoding of your wp_bb_* tables in the database from “latin1” to “utf8”. If you don’t know how to do this, ask your host.
