BuddyPress.org

Good job! Would you provide us – the community – that plugin? I looked for several solutions and couldn´t really find anything small but nice that fits my requirements. I´m looking for a simple gallery tool that offers users to make pictures or galleries public or privat, that has a category tag-function (e.g. this picture belongs to the category “nightlife”) and that includes some other stuff like automatic resizing, multi-upload, widget-displaying…etc…
Any other good idea (anybody)? Any exeriences with the BP-Gallery plugin? Is there a stable version available yet? http://buddydev.com/buddypress/bp-gallery-beta-available-now-download-test-and-enjoy/

Solution for the Erromessage during activation:

Open bp-maps.php an delete the comment–marks in line 594 completly, so the ?>-Tag is in line 594.

Unsoluted Problems:
The profile map still have some problems.
Change of an member-location is not working.
Dynamic map in profile not displayed

Been using jomsocial since it’s early beta stage (almost 2 years) and now switching to buddypress for a huge community site.
Don’t like that twitter, ’cause to have “jomsocial + wordpress goodness by corephp” you have to spend $218,99 compared to $0,00 for buddypress.

However, what I like of jomsocial is that it already comes with built-in must-have applications/plugins for a community such as videos, photos, events (besides standard ones like groups, forums, pm). Plugins all developed by the same developers (come built-in with the installer). Instead with buddypress you depend on plugin’s developers (events, photos, privacy….) and what if they’ll stop supporting/updating them? Also in jomsocil the users is given the possibility to add what application they want to their profile.

I have the same problem. Or at least the same result.

@paulhastings0, nice! Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll be sure to look into that.

Ah, Bluehost

1. If you are running the multisite version of WordPress, on the super admin’s options there is a setting for default profile. Alternatively, there are lots of plugins that control this sort of setting on. I use a couple of role management plugins on a few sites but I’m not sure what’s best. Hopefully someone can recommend one.

2. If you disable BuddyPress, and register an account on the site (via WordPress), do you receive the email? If you don’t, it is either ending up in your email’s spam or your server is not configured to send emails correctly. However, since you’re on Bluehost, have a look at the bottom of this message first.

3. That site URL setting should match the URL of your site. I’m not sure what you mean by “pointed url”, but you should probably only change it if you have moved the site from one_domain.com to another_domain.com.

4. Depends on definition of “easy”; they are in the theme’s header.php.

Bluehost: We have seen issues with Bluehost previously. I do not know if all the issues still apply, but in general:

1) I suggest that you do not use simplescripts to install (or even WordPress).
2) RE: your email problem. I suggest you search this site for “Bluehost” as we have had lots of discussion around it previously but, from memory, https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ might fix the problem (it has to be a valid email account, so you may need to create it first).

the site looks great! What kind of gallery plugin did you use? Is it self-hosted or somewhere else?

I had a BuddyPress 1.1.x era plugin that added FOAF to user and group profiles. I was trying to learn FOAF & SIOC & RDFa at the time so I have probably accidentally used some of the wrong taxonomies. It did help out on Google page rank pretty well.

So, with those provisos, here’s the link to my old SVN for the code. I haven’t looked at it in over a year so YMMV:

@thelandman I just wanted to let you know that @sbrajesh has been working on chat plugin of his own. Perhaps the 2 of you could combine efforts? He has a beta who’s source code is now GPL.

@LPH2005 It’s the iframe inserted in header.php – after the body tag and before the div#header – in your 404.php

Something appears amiss with your urls, for example: http://www.ibonvivant.com/http:/www.ibonvivant.com/home

Try deactivating all of your plugins except for BuddyPress and see if it works.

Are you running the default BuddyPress theme from BP 1.2.5.2?

1) Check that single WP is working then enable Multisite.
2) Do the WP config checks recommended in Codex article.
3) Install and activate BuddyPress. Check functionality of BP components.
4) Then install and activate BuddyPress Courseware. If you find some issues, you can see whether others have had same problem as you have and find resolution OR create a new topic in plugin’s group forums at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-courseware/forum/

Sorry, but I haven’t heard anything about it for a while. I believe the term you’re searching for is “Friend of a Friend” or, “FOAF”.
