BuddyPress.org

This function isn’t in BuddyPress yet as far as I know but it should be a pretty easy addition. I’d create a ticket on the Trac (trac.buddypress.org) marking this as an enhancement.

Okay, I’m done! Let’s get back to work. I’ll humor you, Burt, and go to irc.freenode.net #buddypress.

Edited: couldn’t figure that out, for now, moving on to those css files…

….

bp plugins (except some function and tags) are so similar to wpmu plugin, they are almost the same of wpmu plugins.

Integrate plugin with menus and other it’s difficult but not a lot (for me )..

mmm i think you have to wait next release, but you don’t want do it, you’ve to pay someone that can do that :S and in this time only few people (i think i can) can do a bp plugin, and they ask for an high amount..

Thank you Trent! I’ve been working on getting the forums working since they were first released and have FINALLY got them working thanks to your post and this thread. Looking back I think I had two problems:

1. I had been installing the plugin in bb-plugins, not my-plugins. I had seen my-plugins mentioned a few places but thought maybe it was replaced by bb-plugins in 1.0 and never really looked into it. I still installed and activated the plugin successfully through bb-plugins so I’m not sure if this was or wasn’t the problem but in any case thanks for pointing this out.

2. I previously modified the etc/hosts file mentioned in the other thread but it must not have saved correctly on the first try. I re-edited it to what burtadsit recommended and now we’re working.

Anyways, thanks again!

Do you have irc? We keep posting around each other. Go to #buddypress on irc.freenode.net server. That will work better.

Ah!!! I didn’t know there was css in there.

Burt, I can’t speak for Mike, but as for me…

I am skinning buddypress-home and buddypress-member themes, by using the custom.css in each themes’ css folder. Neither of which affect that alphabet.

Thanks

I am working with custom.css in both the buddypress-home > css and buddypress-member > css. And I can’t change that alphabet.

we could use flicker plugin 4 bp..maybe someone could create a plugin or guide on making bp plugin?

I am building an Alumni social media site for West Point at http://buglenotes.com

Well, you can look at this post for a quick hack to only allow members to see anything on member profiles, groups, etc. That post has a hack that applies to the /wp-content/member-themes/buddypress-member/ theme. The buddypress-home theme in /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/ doesn’t get the hack

You could apply it to buddypress-home theme in certain places if you don’t even want them to be able to search the blogs, groups, members, etc. but that would be a little harder to follow.

Then, on private blogs, I just use more privacy options so that private and no search engine blogs don’t show in any listings around the site. You can hack the code to actually list them in buddypress if you want, but default pattern is to not show them.

So basically, I would set the privacy for all blogs you don’t want showing and leave the main blog open. It is done with that plugin on a blog by blog basis.

Once Andy puts more of this into the core, it will be much easier, but for now we have to “hack” around a bit

Trent

Any css you put in custom.css overrides *all* css. Unless groups css is being loaded after custom.css and in that case it’s a bug and should be reported in trac. Don’t think it is though.

Example:

ul#group-list li, ul#member-list li, ul#blog-list li, ul#comment-list li, ul.item-list li { background: url(../images/message_thread_back.gif) top left repeat-x;}

That’s in ../member-themes/buddypress-member/css/groups.css. In your custom.css file you can change the ‘message_thread_back.gif’ to something else by overriding it in custom.css

ul#group-list li, ul#member-list li, ul#blog-list li, ul#comment-list li, ul.item-list li { background: url(../images/my_fav_message_thread_back.gif) top left repeat-x;}

This what you need?

function site_url() is a mu 2.6+ thing. I saw a post from you about what ver mu for buddypress. The answer is 2.6+.

Yes it will be done in next release i hope

burtadsit,

I’m running on a shared host and I can report the same issue. Seems like the actual BuddyPress forums on the testbp.org site are appending a unique forum id, which is not happening for me, most probably because forum posts aren’t posting. A vicious cycle

I understand. You can do that with php, but i suggest you to wait next buddypress release that adds Photo Book feature

If you’re using the buddypress theme you could add as left-coloumn widget, the activities’ widget. Simpler than that!

It isn’t a buddypress configuration, but it depends on wp-mu.

The choice are two: editing wp-signup, or install plug-ins and edit buddypress template, now it’s so complicated if you don’t know php or if you don’t want writing code..

What does integration means for you?

Where do you like using integrations ?

Hi

The Spanish community of Buddypress users

http://buddypress-es.org

@gpo1 when you type “Users will be able to upload videos or ‘link’ videos from youtube and similar websites” do you mean embed the videos?

Currently I embed videos in my WordPress sites w/ Vodpod. It works with almost any video hosting site but it’s not the best solution. Have yet to test it on buddypress.

I was part of an online community called the ORG that had a very slick solution. All media was entered into one media entry box. Just by adding the URL to the flickr photo or YouTube video the site took care of seeking out the proper embed code and placed it in the photos gallery or video gallery. No idea how “Support and Comfort” did it but it sure was handy.
