BuddyPress.org

I only want real full names in my site. I want to eliminate the anonymous \”username\” as much as possible.

This excellent plugin makes it possible to login with just email address and password, but you still get that stupid username in activation emails etc. At the moment I\’m struggling to find out how to replace it.

Just my 2 cents. Please don’t make Buddypress entirely username centric. They’re childish…

– It is possible, in the profile, to show the posts list and favorite topics that the user added of the blog and forum

Everything except the above is a standard part of bp.

I guess I need the exact opposite. I only want full real names in the site, if possible entered as seperate first name + last name at sign-up.

I just reinstallend WordPress MU+Buddypress and now when I sign up test users, only the user_login gets copied to the display_name field in wp_users.

How can I force it to put the real full name in display_name?

@Wildrot

and @apeatling of https://apeatling.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blog.jpg

is there a downloadable way to do what you guys have done and make it the default for user blogs (no user set up required, just automatic)?

Can you guys make your user templates available to the BuddyPress community?

Best,

Or make bp-custom.php into your /plugins/buddypress/ folder, and put the following code in. This way saves you messing with the default themes and also having to re-do work if you change themes in future.

<?php

define('BP_BLOGS_SLUG', 'Diary');

?>

Nicola I think the correct approach would be to implement this into the Buddypress core code and submit patches for Andy’s review.

The ArtistPlug.NET social blogging network has got it’s first big change which is visible at http://blog.gowildchild.com and http://artistblog.me ; it’s also allowing 5 artistic users to it’s network till the beta period.

http://visualsound.be has a buddypress compatible plug-in which allows soundcloud to implemented (also written for the network).

Be sure to checkout this network for the common artist around the block!

In youre: “header.php”

<?php if ( function_exists( ‘bp_blogs_install’ ) ) { ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_BLOGS_SLUG ) ) {?> class=”selected”<?php } ?>>/<?php echo BP_BLOGS_SLUG ?>” title=”<?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>”><?php _e( ‘Blogs’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?>

<?php } ?>

Changes the phrase: “Blogs” into: “what ever you want” …

adv_user, sometime in the next several months. There isn’t any specific *public* timeline for releasing a version of bp that works on regular wp. Only automattic knows.

@Famous-

Once you’ve updated to the latest BP trunk following the instructions in Burt’s link, BuddyPress components live in /plugins/. You can keep all your other non-BP WPMU plugins in /mu-plugins/.

Tip: Make sure you read the entire thread Burt linked to at least twice before starting your upgrade. For detailed instructions on upgrading WPMU, visit the WPMU site.

(quick thanks to everyone here smarter than me and that have helped out)

almost finished.. but still nervous to show some of you… not exactly what I wanted it to be, but it’s getting closer…

@ Erwin

All fields were filled in. I reinstalled both Buddypress to the newest trunk and the events plugin v 0.55. The saving error remains. I cannot create events.

Could this be a permission issue? bp-events-directory and bp-events.php are set to 755. Are there other adjustments I need to make?

If you ask me, it makes ‘things’ just more complex and harder to get working

You have an existing wp install and want to connect another install, buddypress, to that? I don’t think that is possible. You could install wpmu and bp. Import your existing wp blog into wpmu and then install bp on a different blog. That you can do.

Your current blog would be imported as blog id 1 and bp could be installed on another blog you create. That would work.

You see. What I want to do tho is keep my wordpress blog intact. With that theme that it has right now and what not. And to have, as another “website” yet integrated with my wordpress blog, my socialnetwork section. So with the buddypress thing, I can have my other kind of theme, yet if people use their accounts from buddypress to comment on my original wordpress blog, it will still be connected..they will still be able to see it on their activity.

Those are the member, groups and blog directories. They live in respectively:

RC1

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-core/directories/bp-core-directory-members.php

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-groups/directories/bp-groups-directory-groups.php

/wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blogs-directory-blogs.php

trunk

/wp-content/bp-themes/buddypress-member/directories

There is a job board in the dev section. Nothing but a wire now. https://buddypress.org/groups/buddypress-job-board

Emails go out to all those who are members of that group. You could also post a topic here since the job board doesn’t have a forum yet. Post it here and one of the mods will close it after posting. People can contact you through your profile in a PM.

bp and wpmu use the same user table. A bp ‘account’ is a wp ‘account’. You can use any theme you like on your blog. All blog posts and their comments show up in activity from any blog that hasn’t been set to ‘private’.
