BuddyPress.org

Ah, okay – now it’s on https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ as “Welcome Pack” (or you can go to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/).

same here…

I was editing a wrong file.

Hi Sgrunt Thanks for your reply. I had already changed the folders before I installed facebuddy but the members theme still would not work for some reason.

Regards

It makes sense to me to give sub-blog owners a few templates, or just one. Really, I feel like too many templates will confuse the community, creating a lack of cohesiveness. Maybe I can have a few color schemes of the same template. Can my users upload templates? Should they be able to?

No, only you can. You’ll need to upload them to /wp-content/themes/.

I would like all activity to be presented on the main blog page. Basically, if anyone creates a sub-blog post, I would like that to be presented on the main page. Is that what the “all activity” widget does?

Yes.

I set things so that “blog owners” or “sub-blog owners” can’t install plugins, and I would like a nice, safe set of plugins and widgets that they can use without causing any damage. What about that WP plugin installer feature? Will someone gain access to it and break things?

You (as the admin) can upload plugins and widgets either via FTP (or similar) or via the Browser/Installer feature. You can also make plugins run on every site by putting them into the /wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder. The end user can activate or deactivate the plugins, but with the default user permissions, they don’t have access to the Browser/Installer page (I have just tested this).

I was installing by following the instructions here https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installing-buddypres-from-combo/ exactly.

I really don’t know how it happened, but I forgot to create a new database, and I started the sequence from the beginning, and it worked (over an existing DB).

I understand custom.css is buggy as previously pointed out, but I’m having a problem with site-wide.css.

I’ve changed the logo via site-wide.css, and on member profile page it shows correctly. But on top page (home), still the “social networking” logo is displayed.

Margin or padding the left edge of the containing div for whatever widget you are interested in is the way to go probably. First install firebug to figure out what to alter and what the current settings are: http://getfirebug.com/

That will tell you what you need to change and even allow you to interactively change css to try before you buy. You need to override the css in your theme\\\’s site-wide.css file. Create one in your theme\\\’s /theme/css directory. Create the \\\’css\\\’ directory if it doesn\\\’t exist.

Example: move the site wide activity widget 3px to the right in the bp home theme if it\\\’s activated in the left-column.

1) Create: /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/css/site-wide.css

2) Firebug says that the containing div is: \\\’buddypress-activity\\\’ and has the classes: \\\’widget\\\’ and \\\’bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity\\\’

3) In site-wide.css we override the default setting for class bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity which is specific to this widget and firebug tells me that nothing is modifying this class yet. So we do:

.bp_activity_widget_sitewide_activity{

margin-left: 3px;

}

I should stick to programming. I really suck at css so that may cause your server to have a meltdown and your children to talk back to you.

Hi Im still getting the same problem as mentioned above and I downloaded the zip about 1 hour ago. The home theme works fine but the members theme does not work I also have the latest trunk and BP.

At the bottom there is a link where you can download the whole zip file. https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk

I know where that constant (which has actually been renamed since) is defined, but I think it’s a much better approach if you install the SVN trunk.

I don’t know of any database/table changes since RC1. If I were you I might consider just copying out your .htaccess and wp-config.php to a safe location (and any theme changes etc you’ve made – you’ll have to reimplement these afterwards). Get the trunk with svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk and put it into your mu-plugins, and put the .htaccess and wp-config.php files back in place. And crossing my fingers.

Don’t mix versions!

here is 1281 trunk zip : https://trac.buddypress.org/changeset/1281/trunk?old_path=%2F&format=zip

also, what if you can benefit from this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/

but make it work for MU and for buddypress sso that the rating will add point to the users’ tokens or karma…. and so on..

mmmm….wiki on buddypress, this would be amazing!

add to that a karma plugin for users who work more on the wiki and it will be just great!

if you are using your own theme, you are out of luck!

There are many, many many. post on this topic.

When you use your own theme, you will need to copy the register.php to your theme directory.

If you do so.. you we always get.. the login page.

If you are not copy the register.php to your theme directory, it will default to wp-signup.php.

it works fine, however, because it does not use buddypress-language file your site will have mix of English and your mother tounge language.

The best work around I come up with is… do not copy the register.php.

Translate the WPMU language into your language.

I believe, this is logged for bug fix.

This plugin works with wpmu 2.7 in following steps.

1. user manually registers.

2. activate account

3. go to profile, add openid

4. users can now login with their openid account(s)

OpenID login form is displayed on wp-login.php, but not on buddypress themed wp-signup, as it’s customized for buddypress.

This thread is not updated since 2 months ago, anyone else with tips or updates?

my wpmu/buddypress is on the root, but my registration page returns 404 as well. However if I manually type wp-signup.php, then it shows the page just fine.

Or, look here https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/

How about something for the site admin. A few ideas. A blog clone plugin. Setup one or more clone blogs including plugin settings, then depending on the role, group or whatever of the new user it would clone the blog with all the setting, menu, etc. already setup. This would of course go great with a true role-manager for wpmu that could create site-wide roles, or edit the site-wide rights of any of the roles. Which used with a wpmu specific adminimize plugin that would recognize not just the old roles, but newly created ones too and then set the menus site-wide for each of the roles (or if we can clone blogs, at least would recognize newly created roles). This would be great for educational or setups that want to charge for extras (although I guess these are kind of wpmu ideas, but still very relevant to buddypress too.

Another tack would be to create some educational plugins for quizzes somewhat like Moodle without Moodles rigid structure. (But those are more WordPress specific rather than buddypress) although buddypress with individual eduacational spaces for each student, but sitewide feeds of grades to teachers would be great. And schools need the free stuff with money hard to come by from administration types who think computers are just big calculators for adding up costs.

And yes, I definitely agree about the privacy issue.

Lots of great ideas above all the best in making your choice and best of luck at GSoC.

You need to create that file yourself. bp-custom.php is a file that BuddyPress looks for, kind of as a helper file to allow anyone to modify BP without needing to hack the core files.

The function that Andy wrote for you will give you the information you need to create a plugin or widget for yourself. He’s teaching you to fish, basically…
