BuddyPress.org

@Gpo1: I have no idea what Facebook does – I’m severely allergic to it But Ok, suggestion noted.

@Michael Berra: Localization is possible. Someone will have to create the language files though. The code is written in English at the moment.

@Everyone: Also, I’ve made some upgrades to chat over the past 2 days – it now has an even more streamlined status bar; a new sound feature that plays a brief audio file when someone sends you a new message; and when the chat window is minimized a little popup appears if someone sends you a message. You can also set yourself as visible to everyone or just your friends, or make yourself completely unavailable for chat in general. Chat history now includes date separation plus time stamps.

This first rendition is nearly done. Still on the agenda for this version: Let users delete their chat history, let the site admin trim history for everyone if the need arises.

I looked at adding “person A chatted with person B” to the activity screen but at the moment it doesn’t seem worth the effort, plus some people might not want that showing up. Anybody have an opinion about this sort of feature?

Hi Jeff,

I do understand that the backbone of BuddyPress is WPMU.

As WPMU is managed / owned by Automattic, are they planning to make Multi-Language-Versions of WPMU a possibility ?

I do undrestand that this will take some time and therefore stopped the plan for running my website in 2 languages.

Many thanks,

Erich

OK so i re-installed to use subdirectories. but now there is not members directory. So if i click a member name its a broken link.

I am installing buddypress via the wordpress-mu Plugin Browser/Installer.

Everything finishes correctly but can not create profiles.

@Cdaniel, Whats features would this plugin have for wordpress mu or Buddypress CMS and is it self hosted kalturaCE?

Uninstalled bbpress per above instructions (thanks btw).

Still getting same errors. Must be some other issue…

Tried deactivating BuddyPress then reactivating… nothing different happened?

Any other clues where I should look?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I am using vbulletin bridge for WP.

Any other pros or cons to Buddypress? Curious for all feedback!

Eric

Nirok: If I goto your site http://spoodle.co.nz/3/ and I click the ‘Forum’ link, that link dosen’t come up as “selected / highlighted” like the other links.

We still need a solution on how to make it highlight when the link is active, just as when you click into https://buddypress.org/forums/.

I’m gonna write a post that talks about simulating wp’s category system next with bpc. The layout for the tree would look something like this:

root

— group

—- ‘authorized user’ created category 1

---

end user tag 1

---

end user tag 2

—- ‘authorized user’ created category 2

---

end user tag 1

---

end user tag 2

So that groups are first labeled with a category, perhaps at group creation time and all group tags go into a default category for the group. Depending on the type of group.

It would help in the situation where, like now, you have a zillion group tags of different types mixed in together. Sites could ‘categorize’ groups and then allow tagging of the groups by group admins within the group category.

group

— dogs

—- dog breed tags

— cats

—- cat breed tags

— fish

—- fish breed tags

Do fish have breeds?

The advantage to the end user is they could pick a category first and the tag cloud would reflect only that categories tags.
