sounds like a lot of servers-and a lot of ram. Is concurrent users and speed a priority for the buddypress teams I wonder?

Unfortunately, that doesn’t help at all. One is to create a demo kind, which is used to check if things are working in the expected way, is not for use for live sites also plus it is not compatible. (the groupomatic,the Second plugin is not compatible)

P.S 🙂 Though I stated what version of WordPress, buddypress and bppress versions am using on in my first post, I will restating it here also. (am using wordpress version 3.7.1 suffusion theme) (budypress 1.9 and bbpress 2.0 )

Pls

If you have over 100,000 users you’ll need a very good server setup. Lots of RAM and ideally an SSD as BuddyPress writes to the server a lot. You can’t just cache BP pages for logged in users as they will see old content, so you need to be able to handle a lot of database queries all at once. Also set up a CDN and put all assets (images, CSS, JS, etc) there to reduce the load on your server. And minify them all too.

I suspect you’ll need to set up some custom caching for certain parts of the site so they don’t bog down, particularly search. If you do a search of 100,000+ users, especially a search with multiple terms, it will take a while to run through all of those database entries. You can set up a cached index of all search results and just update it at intervals with a cron job, and then your search results will be much faster. Same with group search if necessary. This would have to be custom. What I’m describing is exactly how we set up search here: http://easyoutsource.com/workers. It will search through over 25,000 users with multiple parameters pretty fast. Prior to caching search results it was almost too slow to use.

Very cool.

One suggestion – the homepage doesn’t reveal that it’s a BuddyPress theme or even a theme at all. I don’t think that is obvious to a new visitor to the site just yet.

I’ve never seen that before. Standard advice is to switch themes and deactivate all plugins, then switch everything back one by one to see if a specific theme/plugin is the cause.

If not, BuddyPress does automatically inject links into some content. Profile fields for example, when viewing a user’s profile. Weird that it’s doing this on a random WP page though.

As for ‘network activated’ I suggest leaving it to just ‘activated’ on your main site that you’re running BP on. No reason to run it everywhere.

thanks guys. I understood that buddypress was working on splitting queries etc but wondered how it handled concurrancy issues in its present state and how the proposed query changes were expected to improve the situation.

The question was asked ‘how big a scale?’. Our project is not spec’d out that way yet (it will be), but I’m exploring possible solutions, but I’d say in the 100k concurrent user order of magnitude. We would expect a large number of groups and within those groups very large numbers say in the 6 figure order of magnitude.

cheers

In reply to: Country / City Conditional Fields

webauthor
Participant

I’ve been reading a lot about this issue and it looks like BP is missing some very basic functionality. This is the first time using it and right out of the gate I see that there are some things that have me baffled.

1) No way to create conditional fields. I’ve tried using the Gravity Forms User Registration Add-On plugin but there is no way to map fields properly. For example, in Gravity Forms I have Country, State and City fields. If someone selects United States as a Country for example, the next field that the user sees is the State field, but then I run into a problem when someone selects a City. In order to use conditional fields with Gravity Forms, I need to create many City fields (alabama-cities, alaska-cities etc). One City field for each State. These City fields are conditional fields that displayed to the user Cities based on what the user selects in the State field.

The problem is that Gravity Forms wants me to first create User Profile Fields in BuddyPress. Then map each Gravity Forms field to the appropriate User Profile Field. Since I have many Gravity Forms cities field, there is no way I can tell Gravity Forms to use the City that the user selects and map it to a City User Profile field in BuddyPress.

I’ve read a lot of posts on this forum dating back 5 years and no one has offered a working solution.

2) Also, Why is there no option for an admin to be able to deny users from changing their Screenname? How about an option that prevents user from modifying a specific field such as Gender? All I see is havoc and chaos if you allow users to change certain fields.

3) Why doesn’t BuddyPress offer a way to have different registration fields based on the user? Teacher / Student Registration, Doctor / Patient etc? It doesn’t make sense. Look at the core of BuddyPress. It’s a social network plugin. In almost every circumstance you have a need for one user have certain fields and another to have other fields. Trying to figure out how to show certain profile fields for one user and not another should be at the core of this plugin. Not to mention making it easy for the site owner to layout those fields so that they look nice. For example something as easy as defining the length of the fields. You can’t make those modifications without Firebug and CSS and PHP experience, or worse yet another plugin. If you use a plugin, then you have to pray to God the author of that plugin not to fall off a cliff or pray that he / she keeps that plugin conducive with the latest version of BP.

I don’t mean to gripe but BuddyPress it seems to me that at it’s core, very little thought was given to how people would actually use it. Almost like it’s piecemealed together.

Another big complaint is that it’s not compatible with the best WordPress themes on the planet – StudioPress. Shouldn’t the contributors of BP make sure that BP and StudioPress be compatible?

I’m sorry if this sounds like a rant, it’s not. It’s just frustration. BP looks awesome but underneath the hood, there are a lot of obvious problems. My suggestion is to do what WooCommerce, StudioPress and others do. Sit down and figure out how to handle the big issues first. If need be, charge for BuddyPress. If the problem is that you have a bunch of contributors who work on things “they” deem important and at their own leisure, then the plugin suffers. Charge for it. Sit down and listen to the complaints and address them based on customer priority. Pay someone to reply to this forum so we’re not waiting days for a response. You’ll have much happier users and a much better plugin. Just my 2 cents worth. Honestly, since BP is virtually the only Plugin of it’s kind, not taking my advice will lead to someone creating a better wheel and that point, it’s only a matter of time before BP becomes obsolete.

It’s been close to 24 hours and no response to my original question. If ANYONE has an answer as to how I can get a user to simply select a Country, then State, then City based on previous fields, I’d greatly appreciate it. Also if someone could please tell me how to prevent users from modifying certain fields that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks

UPDATE:

I’ve changed BuddyPress from being ‘network activated’ to just ‘activated’ on the main/root site. I don’t know what the recommended setup is these days, but we’ve had it network activated since BuddyPress only ran on WPMU.

Having it activated on the main site only means that the ‘bug’ now only affects the main site and not every site across the network. So the example I give above no longer shows the issue.

However, you can still see it on this page:

http://blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/test/

See how, whenever there is @lincoln.ac.uk either in the content of the page, or in a mailto link, BuddyPress injects a hyperlink with a random user’s email address following the root domain:

http://blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/amakrzanowska%40lincoln.ac.uk/

I’ve no idea how or why it’s constructing that URL and automatically inserting it whenever @lincoln.ac.uk is found in the body content.

Ideas much appreciated!

Oops I do apologise! I read up to “What can I hook into?” and couldn’t think of a hook then got carried away thinking of how you could solve the problem 🙂

 */
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
	/**

	do_action( 'attitude_before_main_container' );
?>

<div id="container">
	 <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

		<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
	<?php the_content(); ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

</div>

<?php
	/** 
	 * attitude_after_main_container hook
	 */
	do_action( 'attitude_after_main_container' );

<?php get_footer(); ?>
```
My group and create group pages are working, although the layout is a bit messed up.
But I don’t have the Request Membership button. Can you tell me how I can fix this?

Thank you!

This looks like it’s still a valid issue in 1.9.1. For anyone still looking, here’s a patch:

On line ~1026 of buddypress/bp-templates/bp-legacy/js/buddypress.js, replace

jq('#groups-dir-list').on('click', '.group-button a', function() {

with

jq('#groups-dir-list, #item-meta').on('click', '.group-button a', function() {

You don’t say if you’re doing this on a group page.
Assuming you are…

Find a hook prior to output of group users.

Hook a function that contains your custom sql.

Take a look at using the bp_pre_user_query_construct hook and ‘Preserve the Order’ here:

In reply to: Custom Sort of Group Members

Boone Gorges

I guess the best way to do it would be to filter ‘bp_pre_user_query’ and do some manual modification to the uid_clauses[‘where’] SQL string.

I know this is less than ideal. In the future, we’ll aim to have better sorting features in BP_Group_Member_Query. But it’s unlikely we could build a system that’d accommodate your custom usermeta sort, in any case, so you’re probably always going to have to do this manually. That said, having a filter on BP_Group_Member_Query::get_group_member_ids() or BP_Group_Member_Query::get_include_ids() is not a terrible idea. Feel free to open an enhancement ticket at http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org.

BTW, the sort in this instance is sorting with user meta. Not the best setup, I admit. But my point was that i want to be able to generate my own SQL and pass it back in somewhere along the line.

And yes, using BuddyPress 1.9.1. and i’ve traced it all from the template all the way down. 🙂

You can update it through the Group Admin menu in WordPress site itself but you must have upload Avatars ticked in the dashboard.

Just thought I’d update this again – still no solutions…nor any responses.

I tried exporting, then deleting all BP tables after deleting BuddyPress. Then, I re-installed BuddyPress and didn’t add the tables back. Guess what! Still…redirect loop errors.

BuddyPress is the common denominator here. NOTHING else is a problem. At this point, the only solution is, unfortunately, abandon BuddyPress. The issue hasn’t been resolved in several updates.

I’m looking into WP Symposium now…but will stay on the email for this thread in case someone fixes this bug.
