BuddyPress.org

Let me try and answer this diplomatically because this seems like spam without being spam to me…

BuddyPress isn’t Facebook, and it really doesn’t have any intentions of trying to imitate it. That’s up to an audience of GPL contributors to try and mold and shape it into that, if they so choose.

BuddyPress also has a test development site already, to flex its muscles and allow people to use it as they like. testbp.org.

There are unlimited domains available, with unlimited hosting and bandwidth options. None of what you’re offering really has anything to do with BuddyPress other than using it for potential profit. Contributing a domain that specializes in spreading bad news isn’t any part of Automattic’s roadmap that I’ve seen, so don’t count on getting any hosting.

If what you’re doing is offering a business opportunity to specific individuals, you should contact them privately and see if they’re interested.

(I’m locking this for now. If any other staff feels like re-opening it for discussion, go for it. My gut tells me this isn’t what the forums here are for.)

bp and wpmu use the same user table. A bp ‘account’ is a wp ‘account’. You can use any theme you like on your blog. All blog posts and their comments show up in activity from any blog that hasn’t been set to ‘private’.

I also noticed a similar behavior here in this very form where I’m typing (forums, edit topic).

If I post a topic, then edit it, more slashes are added each time I edit. For example, if I edit the same post 3 or 4 times, I’ll end up with \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\it's instead of just it's.

I was able to duplicate this behavior, but don\’t have a fix in mind for it. This is with the latest trunk (revision 1302):

To repeat, log in as a user and send a message to another user with this subject line: Just wondering how you\'re doing

When that first message saved to the database, the field value is this: Just wondering how you\'re doing

So far, so good.

Now log out and log in as a different user (the recipient), and go to the messages area. Click the subject to open the message, and type a reply.

Now look in the database (in the \”wp_bp_messages_messages\” table) and you\’ll see that the subject field for the reply is: Re: Just wondering how you\\\'re doing

Now repeat this four or five times, and you\’ll see that each time the message gets saved extra slashes are added:

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\'re doing

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re doing

Re: Just wondering how you\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'re doing

The issue, as far as I can tell, is that when the subject is saved, the escape characters (slashes) from the previous subject line are themselves escaped.

Ok, let me put it another way. It’s not an issue on my install which is the latest trunk.

benny this has nothing to do with bp itself. It’s a theme thing that is happening here only.

It needs a stripslashes call, which I will add.

Yeah, I’ve experienced this too – if there’s a fix available i’d appreciate the know-how

is it a public or a private blog? i think private blogs does not show on the sitewide activity.

If you set the blog to be private the posts and the activity do not show. Settings > Privacy > I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors

We need to get Andy to changed the member theme not to show private profile fields, and then use those private profile fields in custom boxes to diaplay stuff. This would be a great way to ask for zipcode, and build a custom module to show a Google Map, or ask for birthday and just show a count down timer until their birthday.

Where I don’t expect this to be in the 1st version, but would be nice to get the details hammered out in early post release versions.

You could always roll your own, https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1651

take a look at those plugins:

http://bp-dev.org/plugins/registered-users-only-2/

http://bp-dev.org/plugins/bbpress-force-login/

http://bp-dev.org/plugins/force-member-login/

you may find what you want…

Same!

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I would like a few of my pages on my mu install to be open such as the index page, about us, media, and contact us, but I am looking to have the rest of the site including buddypress and all blogs private and member only!

That must be a feature I hadn’t noticed.

If your blogs are set to private the activity will not show. Check Settings > Privacy. It should be “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone…”

Brent, is this resolved?
