BuddyPress.org

It’s needed by pretty much everyone, and hence really a “core” feature.

WP already has some image processing built in that BP could/should leverage. As a member of a social network, I should be able to create my own albums, add photos and videos to them and tag friends and places. That much is really core. (including automatic resizing and lossless compression, and post upload of photos/videos to activity stream)

If BuddyPress Media is good, perhaps it can be merged back into BP core?

Further functionality, such as watermarking, CDN support, user notifications, comments, are probably plugin territory.

Ok, so I found this via some more google searching: http://halfelf.org/2011/customizing-sidebar-profile-bp/

The code has a few errors on there, but I managed to fix up the Profile links. At the moment, I have:

Hello, Username
– Profile
– Edit Profile
– Edit Settings

where Profile, Edit Profile and Edit Settings are links for that user.

This is the code I am using and it looks to be working well:

<strong>Hello, </strong>
<li><a href=&quot;profile/">Profile</a>
</li>
<li><a href=&quot;profile/edit/">Edit Profile</a>
</li>
<li><a href=&quot;settings/">Edit Settings</a>
</li>

I am now working on the “Notifications”, e.g. Messages, Compose, Sent. I managed to figure out the “Messages” link.

 0 ) { ?>
<a href=&quot;" rel="nofollow">">Inbox ()</a><?php
} else {
?><a href=&quot;/messages/" rel="nofollow">No new messages</a>

So now I just need “Compose” and “Sent”

To give an update:

When I uncheck the option in the Components tab, “Allow your users to modify their account and notification settings directly from within their profiles,” the account settings page “domain.com/members/user” returns a 404 error page. Therefore, no users at all are able to have access to the Account Settings page. Solves the issue, but not really the most ideal solution.

I’d prefer for users to be able to have access to their own Account Settings page, therefore I’d like to keep this option on.

How is everyone else setting up their Account Settings page? and is anyone else running into the same dilemma?

per @r-a-y: “Is there any reason why you need multisite?”

It is my understanding that as of WordPress 3.0 MU was automatically built into core. I am not using multisite, per se, that I know if. At least I did not intent to use it. I do know that I have 2 dashboards in my WordPress under My Sites:
(1) Network Admin
(2) my Buddy Press site

It does get a little hairy lopping through both dashboards to make settings tweaks and activate and deactivate plug-ins, etc.

I will certainly give ‘wpmu_signup_user_notification‘ a try…

not bad idea

@naijaping yeah it works, but how to get rid of “Notifications” text… I would like to display only number. Thanks.

@Roger Coathup: how to edit this to work without admin bar? I know I need to replace $wp_admin_bar, but with what? I want to append it to my header, which is `

So to allow users to subscribe to an individual forum (to be notified of a new thread) it looks like I would have to create a group for each forum and use the plugin you recommended?

Hi, I didn’t found a solution yet. This is really annoying for most users of my website. So, I’m really considering pay if someone is interested to develop a plugin or something that fix it.

Any volunteer?

Wow so many question and not a light on the horizon.

* Host: Hostgator
* Everything else works on the site
* All set up is correct after transfer
* I disabled all plugins that could interfere
* How do we create user account??? er…by clicking on create an account!
* No nothing exotic. Just basic buddypress and buddypress registration system.
* And yes that was a stupid question but i can check again for the email in the db.

Soooo…any other questions or may be an advice would be welcome?

I told you if you want the URL you are welcome to check it. My host is working on it at the moment but we are nowhere yet.

Thanks.

Hello

Thank you for your reply. I have the usual plugins but as few as possible – I don’t custom code and yes, I copied everything – my host did it and we checked all the username – emails and all so all was checked to make sure that emails and all were the right one for the site.

The problem is so weird I don;t even know where to look. Would you want to see the site?

Thank you so much for your help.

Roger, thanks.

By the by, I did get an email notification telling me of your reply, which is why I am back.

But I find these forums horrendously slow, and also hard to navigate. Plus it keeps on thinking I’m logged out when I’m not. Is that all buddypress’s problem, or a bbpress issue?

Thanks,
