BuddyPress.org

So, you mean something similar to the new Facebook “like” and “comment” features, borrowed from FriendFeed?

I agree that this would encourage more activity within the site.

As a first step towards this sort of interaction, however, I would like to see a way to become a “fan” (not friend) of a particular blogger within the site i.e. indicate your liking for a person’s entire output, rather than just individual items.

The Fans concept is discussed here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1573

Try this! http://wpmudev.org/buddypress/

When you say it works,does it create a new member and use all buddypress features like blogs etc?

Pretty much waiting on WPMU 2.7.1. Once that is out, I’ll be changing BuddyPress to work in /wp-content/plugins and not mu-plugins. It’s a simple switch and is already tested.

You will however need to use 2.7.1 of WPMU if you want to use 1.0 of BuddyPress.

Yes, I’m running BuddyPress at the University of Lincoln and have blogged about it here: http://joss.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2009/02/17/buddypress-a-universitys-social-network/

Forget FB, Let’s work on Buddypress & other social network like twitter LOL.

Like posting to twitter via wire and make a page for followers with avatar & replies!

BP group forums require a seperate working install of BBPress.

Deep,

Have you figure the register page to work??

We have this issue, but no solution.

If you know, please share your it.

Facebook is probably the reason most of us here are developing BuddyPress sites

http://writers.burstfiction.com

Doing a relaunch of the flash literature zine Burst Fiction with the main focus being a BP powered area for the writer community. Still working on the themes, haven’t officially announced it open but please feel free to pick it apart and give any constructive criticism.

Regardless of how it’s done, the key is to ensure the user has access to the Twitter settings in the Buddypress profile area. Existing Twitter plugins are all managed on the WPMU backend which many of us are trying to avoid.

Cheers

ok, first of all, in Revolution style.css:

#header: padding 25px 20px

(so the topnavbar will show under admin bar).

then You gotta to add to style.css this:

#content: width 610px (or in #postarea)

Sorry if I tell You, but your css is not well integrated between Revolution css and Buddypress css. That’s the main problem if the site looks not so good.

If you need more help you’re free to ask.

Damn Kunkel, that’s one nice theme. Did you make it yourself or did someone else make it for you?

I’m actually looking for someone who can customize a theme for me and integrate Buddypress and bbPress in it.

This all sounds fantastic (even though I myself have yet to really “Get” the whole twitter thing).

One thought though… would it be better for the eg-twitter plugin to remain a simple “helper” plugin, a means of storing the credentials against the extended profile, and write the additional BuddyPress twitter integration as a seperate bp plugin that utilises that helper. That way eg-twitter can become a standard twitter integration point for other BuddyPress plugins as I think Erwin originally envisaged it?

Dace:

According to jjj, a privacy component is currently being developed and should be released as part of version 1.1. Read John’s post in this thread for more details: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1590#post-8019.

So, what you are asking will be possible in the near future. When will version 1.1 be released? Well, since BuddyPress version 1.0 has not yet even been officially released, I cannot answer that question.

How hard do you think integrating BuddyPress into a site already running WP would be? Would it just be a matter of inserting php tags into where you would like certain features to appear? Or would it mean redesigning a whole theme so that it would work with BuddyPress?

I’m not much of a coder, but I know my way around. About how hard do you think integration with a WP theme would be?

I think that file is located in WP-content/mu-plugins/bp-blogs/directories/bp-blog-directory-blog.php file.
