BuddyPress.org

Hello, I am new to buddypress, and am trying to build a page using the system, but am having trouble finding a couple solutions I would need. Maybe some of you know of a way to incorporate a row of skype hyperlinks to my member’s profiles. Here is basically a schematic of what I would need. I am not a php coder, but am looking into it just in case no one else can help me. It seems like it would be simple enough to create, but I havent found a plugin created yet.

1. This plugin would need to have 4 buttons under the regular set of buttons on the User Profiles that include Follow, Private Message, Friend, Public Message.

The buttons would be in a row under the above set of buttons and they would include:
Call Me :-
Add Me :-
Chat :-
Profile :-

Now I would have to include a Profile Field in Buddypress labeled SkypeID, and this skype id would have to replace YourUsername above.

Please help me, whether by teaching me how to do this or by creating it and sending it to me and sharing it with the rest of the Buddypress community. It sounds simple enough for someone who knows what they are doing.

When creating a new topic, one has to choose a single group forum from the “Post in Group Forum” dropdown menu.

Has anyone seen a way to share the topic amongst multiple groups?

Here’s a use-case:

Let’s say our university’s BuddyPress site has four groups: faculty, staff, researchers, and students. The faculty, staff, and researchers want to discuss where to hold their Christmas party. Students aren’t invited. How can the three groups discuss it privately?

A workaround would the the BP Group Hierarchy plugin, which allows for subgroups within groups. But that’s awfully clunky since you’d have to make every possible combination of a groups its own subgroup. Group Everyone, with subgroup faculty + staff + researchers; subgroup faculty + staff + students; subgroup faculty + students; etc. etc.

Is it possible to do this?

Can somebody provide or did custom code a CSS ajax-loader for forums and messages?

The ajax-loader should show when somebody clicks “respond” to a forum topic and when sending / responding to a private message. Now, people often click twice, as the button does not provide feedback that the response has been submitted.

Such an ajax-loader now shows for Activity Updates and Activity responses, but not for Messages and Forums.

Thanks!

I guess this is more of a feature request than an issue. I was wondering if there was a way to save drafts of private messages and site notifications?

Hi, i’m struggling with private and public data. I want to collect personal data-fields at the first site-register(real name, adress, …). Now if do this, all this info becomes public in the member profiles, so nobody won’t do this.
Is there some plug which allows me to filter registerfields?
And how can i save this info? All i see is a username+emailaccount in my WP-backend-usersection.
How can i solve this?
