Thanks to this thread I am going on almost 48 hours with no new spam signups or blogs. lol I feel like I should get a coin? Yes that’s a bad AA related joke.
looks like tickets have been cleared by jjj – hopefully everyone can test it out https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/branches/1.2
Okay I’ve installed the ‘BP Redirect to Profile for Buddypress’ plugin which redirects users to their profile on login; this makes it clear they are in fact logged in.
Hi all i’m creating a website at the moment using buddypress as a way of shop keepers to look after there shop profiles and allows for easy addition and deletion wehn shops change… I’m just wanting to know if there is a way to add an uploading function to the custom fields to allow files to be shown in a particular part of there profile when they upload a file…. I’m wanting this to allow users to upload a dinner menu for there shop, usually a pdf file… is this possible at the moment? I’ve used custom fields to add phone numbers etc etc, would be cool if it was possible to add an uploading area here aswell….
Any ideas would be much appreciated….
Thanks
@jeffsayre Looking forward to Nov. 8, 2010. Be assured that I will provide feedback 
Cheers.
Thank you pcwriter,
I took some time to write down what I clearly want so it changed a bit. In fact, the custom profile filters would be useful for what I wanna do. But there is something harder.
I’d like to have a “group type 1” for “Labels” and a “group type 2” for “Agencies”. So the users can create the appropriate group (Type 1 for labels, Type 2 for agencies). The group thing would be pretty much like a regular group, but it would be called “Label” if Type 1 and “Agency” if Type 2.
I want both group types to be viewable by every user, but to be part of it, the group’s creator needs to accept your membership. Kind of mix between BuddyPress’s Private and Public groups.
The group creator can also manage group’s status inside the group (That wouldn’t be called group anymore, it’d be named label or agency) so he can accept his teammates as “Label Managers” when needed. Other group’s members would be the signed artists of the label, or managed artists of the agency.
That’s about it for now. That’s the basic stuff I wanna do.
So is it a possible thing with BuddyPress, or I should go and program an entire php system without WP and BP?
Thanks a lot !! Hope I can do it here!
Second on the plugin by @nuprn1
no probs Jeff, just would love to test & provide feedback, also really need it…
@thekmen
The component has been overly tested by a few people at various stages now. The code is stable and ready for primetime. Also, some people who I sent previous copies to never provided feedback, so it was my decision to release it into the wild rather than beg for feedback. As with all my plugins, this will be freely available on the WP Plugin Repository once it’s released.
@jeffsayre why can’t we beta test?
I’m actually having trouble with the mulit-network plugin. The registration page links back to the main site? And all sign-ups are under site #1? Am I missing something.
Yep! It’s been a long haul.
hi @hnla ,
thanks for the starting point, will try to search forum again to find idea for further part of the code.
re your position of members obligation, have to say that your point of view re my respond is completely wrong as I respect what you guys are doing, in some cases it is even non-understandable why you are doing this…e.g. @pcwriter tried to help me in one question, writing x lines of code.
completely another point are people, who get help from members side, but later do not even respond on requests for help in the same question, what is selfishness.
returning to the code for account types, I’ve been trying to find solution in internet (bp forum too) for days, have seen several unresolved/ununswered topics, therefor I’m a bit surprised re your words that question was solved. If you mean that this code can be written taking X parts of code from X topics, have to conclude that my knowledge of php will not allow me to do this in the near future and for help to people like me, it would be great to write solution in one place, as I’m sure this question is interesting for a lot of people. If I will find this code, it definitely will be reposted here.
thanks again!
BuddyPress is a WordPress plugin so you install BuddyPress the same as other WP plugins. You might also like to check out:

Installation
The problem is template pack wasn’t updated for the current version of BuddyPress, and it broke. We’re going to be updating this for the BuddyPress 1.2.6 release, which is due out soon.
I am a little confused on how to install buddypress.Can someone tell me how to do this
@damainman It also worked for the way you explained it by copying parts of sidebar.php but the problem is that after logging in the users have to refresh the site (f5) in order be actually logged in. Which means that users think that they are not signed it and they’ll try in again.
maybe you could write full code?
here are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
@janismo please take care not to come across as treating this support forum as though it was a service with some sort of obligation on the part of the members to write code for people
If you look around you will see that many of the experienced BP developers spend a great deal of their time helping out non coders with a great deal of code.
Not including this thread where I didn’t really end up having to help to any real degree I have responded on two other threads today about profile fields, along with other threads I have read or participated in I know that the answers you seek are available. Sometimes you have to piece together bits of the jigsaw to start with, then show us how far you have got and the problems you might be having and we’ll help out further; of course also someone may come along and just write what you want
I only know what I do about the profile fields and manipulating them from needing to do so myself then reading a few posts but other than that I sat down and started coding and worked it out the hard way.
Hi,
I just installed buddypress and want the forum to only be available to paying members. There are two issues I have right now:
Ideally, I’d like to delete the gray bar from the site completely and just have the buddy press page available only to paying members. My intention is to buy an eMembers plugin which I’m hoping will allow me to make the buddypress page available to registered members only.
If it’s not possible to remove the gray bar completely, is it possible to only have it show on a selected page so that the whole site doesn’t have it?
Thank you.
I want to create a custom text field which is specific to each user and which can only be changed or edited by the admin.
I want this field to be located at the top of the user profile so they can see the notes or message from the admin each time they login.
I know this is probably a simple plug in or alteration, but i am totally clueless in this instance and would greatly appreciate any help. I am using my buddypress as a very simple project management tool and this is the last step I need to make it work perfectly.
thanks
Adam
hi @jarvo1980 ,
could you please tell whether is it possible to use your approach/code to make 3 types of account and each of them would lead to different custom profile fields?
probably, this is exactly what you want to do, maybe you could write full code?
thank you!
P.S. there are several topics on this question, but as I see, those who have done it do not want to share their result.
one of them:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/can-you-run-multiple-profile-loops-in-singleprofile-loop-php/
If someone knows how to, please share. I’m sure, a lot of people would love to use it.
well, i found this:
“If you are using buddypress and you have your privacy settings set to block search engines, blog posts will not show up as part of the activity stream
Hope this little bit of advice will save someone a few hours of sweat pouring, banging-head-against-wall agony.”
yeah…

Don’t think that’s possible at the moment and I don’t know of any plugin that does it.
Have a look at the Group Extension API and these functions:
`messages_new_message` – Let’s you send a message to one or more members
`groups_get_group_members` – Gets all group members (there’s functions for group mods and admins as well)
With these functions and the API you can build a contact form where group admins can contact their members.
