BuddyPress.org

dw, anything is certainly possible!

Right now, there is no built in “rank” structure, but it wouldn’t be too hard to build one. As it stands right now, the permissions plugin for BuddyPress is going to get a brief make over to accommodate some changes to WordPress MU. Once we have a look at how that is going to work, the best way to make user ranks without worrying about backwards compatibility will probably be fairly obvious.

Do you need to configure buddypress files for it to work?

I had similar problems with translating, then I figure it out what I did wrong. You should uploaded these files to server:

1. /wp-content/mu-plugins/bp-languages/

– file: buddypress-***.mo

2. /wp-includes/languages/

– file: ***.mo

*** is the name of your language (etc. for Slovenian language: sl_SI)

I hope this helps

Andy, thanks for working on this – it was previously discussed but didn’t seem to go anywhere.

Obviously you’re just working at getting basic functionality into it, but I thought I’d paste my featurelist from the other topic, to see whether you would consider building these features in at some point:

For me, a good feature set would be:

* On the signup page have a ‘Create an account using your Facebook details’ button so that information is already added when the users account is created.

* For existing users, a button they can press to connect their accounts up.

* New events on the BuddyPress site to be published on their Facebook account. So, what you would normally have on their profiles ‘Activity’ area, posted onto Facebook. Eg, “John created a new group on The BuddyPress Demo Site”.

* This activity ‘syncing’ can be configured from the users settings page on BuddyPress, so they can turn off activity updates.

* In the same settings page, the user can choose to either use their Facebook avatar, or their BuddyPress one

* Have a page like buddpress-site.com/members/MEMBER/friends/invite, and having the ability to ‘Invite your Facebook friends to BuddyPress Demo Site’, would be great.

Cheers, I’ll be testing out the current version ASAP.

@Fishbow181, I like your idea,but please can you adapt Amazon s3 or Cloud Front,so that users can store their images/video in one amazon s3 account?

Any help is welcomed.

I like my solution, I just built a general forum plugin, using the forum code from group forums and adopted it to work on a general level.

(disregard the large error, I have a ticket out for it, otherwise I need to hand edit a file everytime I do an update from svn)

Brad

Wow that’s a fancy idea.

Does each item need to be added manually, or are they imported from Amazon into your database?

Since there are no admins for those items, technically who can edit them and create forums, etc? Basically just the main admin, correct?

It’s ideas like this that make me love BuddyPress more everyday. Good work!

Done and done!

Hey John, irc.freenode.net #buddypress

When you do, please pick a handle shorter than your username. May I suggest ‘jjj’?

I didn’t know that. Surprised me. Now watch, it won’t be the solution.

Since John exhausted all other possibilities. I dove into the source code.

Do you have the file plugin-template.php in your directory /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member ?

It loads that as the template for the settings screen. If it’s missing (I renamed mine as a test) it give that error.

wp-recapcha won’t have any idea how to hook into the BuddyPress registration page, you’ll have to tell it how.

I haven’t used this plugin myself, but I’m sure that it only hooks into a normal WordPress registration page, and not the new BuddyPress one.

Trent, the part I glossed over was

>>1) you have bbpress installed and a new user created on the “bbPress” side which you granted “administrator” rights by the keymaster

Reading it now, it is obvious, but before – I was not creating a second user and giving him administrator rights. I was using my first “admin/keymaster” account as the main one.

Once I created that second account and followed the rest of your directions, the xmlrpc worked fine.

The other part was

6) …and go to the groups admin page.

It is actually the “bbPress Forums” page. Maybe the terms changed at some point.

As far as cookie integration, this seems to be the definitive resource so far

http://umwblogs.org/wiki/index.php/Integrating_WPMu,_BuddyPress,_and_bbPress

But I just can’t seem to make it happen yet.

Thanks for all the help Trent. I appreciate it.

I think this is an essential request! Instead of adding tons of new features the focus should be on the basic features again; to build a tool that connects people and allows communitation! Everyone who wants to use Buddypress for an international purpose needs multi-language support for the frontend. It would be great to have language filters for the contents like on wordpress.com or facebook.com. If the user prefers swedish instead of english for instance he should only get blog posts/groups and forums in his choosen language. This is definitely one point that should be considered in future development.

Whats your thoughts about this?

Alright, got xmlrpc all worked out. I was make an assumtion in Trents directions that was not correct. I found this doc and it answered a few questions I had.

https://trac.buddypress.org/browser/trunk/bp-forums/installation-readme.txt (btw – this link should be made much clearer in the BP install docs. Maybe make is a sidebar nav link)

Still trying to integrate cookies. Anyone got any words of wisdom on that one?

I was working on the same problem. Have a look at this thread. I’m not sure how secure my solution is, but it was quick and if you come up with some better coding to handle it, then let us know. See:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1508

What version of BuddyPress are you using? It is also possible this could be a _nonce key issue if you’re not using RC1, or if you’re using a hybrid of files or file versions from partial upgrades.

The files that this uses are actually part of the BuddyPress core plugin (in mu-plugins/bp-core/), so next on the list of things would be to totally delete the bp-core directory, and reupload them from the RC1 zip, to make sure they are all up to date and valid uploads that aren’t corrupted somehow.

To answer your question, the file specifically that “Settings” uses is bp-core-settings.php. Permissions on the server should be the same as the others, set to 644.

Burt (one of the other moderators here) and myself are both working on similar (but separate) projects, and I’m sure we’ll collaborate at one point to come up with a workable solution. Burt is much more knowledgeable on the backend subject of how these two speak to each other, so he’s the brains behind the operation.

Mine requires “deep integration” and Burt’s bbGroups plugin to work as expected, and in my opinion it shouldn’t be any other way right now.

To my knowledge there isn’t a bbPress/BuddyPress theme available for download yet, but it will be my pleasure to release mine once I have worked out all the kinks.

No Todd, you’re actually right on point, and these are suggestions that have been mentioned before so you can bet that these will be addressed in future updates.

I’m going to close this topic and route further discussion to the previous topic below.

Thanks Jeffca for adding that to the trac.

I have added suggestion #2 to a trac ticket: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/574

That would be great if there was one
