Hi (and thanks in advance for your replies):
I am new to the software stack, but I just now successfully installed and configured WordPress 3.0.1 with the current version of BuddyPress, the PageLines Platform Theme and several WordPress plug-ins.
My goal is to have a private community site, and I seem to have that now, but I’d like to understand the relationship between WordPress roles and BuddyPress members. If my goal with this site is primarily to support members who participate in group discussions and perhaps comment on articles that I post (as a WordPress admin or author), should I only give those users Subscriber roles? It’s not clear to me what BuddyPress members are allowed to do independently or dependent of their WordPress user role status. I’d appreciate a little explanation.
Thank you.
I was hoping to get anyone else using total cache and BPMU to drop any known issues and fixes here. I’ve started using it again and it really does make everything a lot faster. But it also creates some problems with BP components as well as MU functions. Such as:
Multisite function switch_to_blog bug.
BP Private Messages freeze
Activity Update delay…I’ll keep adding them as I see them.
Topic: RiotCart.com: A Reworking
So, some of you may remember me (or not, that’s fine too) from my BP project ClothUnderground.com, a venue for WAHM vendors to set up shop and sell their handmade goods…well, it flopped.
However, being the trooper that I am, I have recently decided to have another go at this. I enlisted the brutally honest criticism of both demographics I was after in the first place, WAHM crafters and those who buy their wares, and the results have not been very surprising.
The first thing that was mentioned (and not so gently, may I add) was that the site’s name was too exclusive. I tend to run in the online cloth diapering Mom/natural parenting circle, and chose “Cloth Underground” as a way to give those of us in that circle with pierced faces and tattoos a place to feel at home. My first stroke of genius was “ClothMafia.com” (which I do own, lol), but was warned that some might not like the connotation of the word “mafia”. Shortly after, I found out about CraftMafia.com, though and was glad I hadn’t gone in a similar direction. The “underground” part also seemed to be an issue, simply because it wasn’t descriptive enough of shopping OR crafting community. Anyway, The first order of business with the rebirth of this project was a new name. I wracked my brain for several days for something that held onto the “underground” spirit, but was more indicative of what the site was all about, and “RiotCart.com” hit me like a ton of bricks in the shower the other day. “Riot” gives it that spirit of rebellion and non-conformism, and “cart” is a common word in the community that I’m targeting (competitor’s sites: HyenaCart.com, CongoCart.com), so it ended up being perfect, IMO
The number one complaint about the site setup was that everyone was confused by the main site newsfeed and groups feature. Most have told me that they found themselves overwhelmed just looking at the home page (I had my main site newsfeed set up there) and left. One even told me that she felt as if she were intruding on others’ conversations, and it turned her off. As for the groups, I think that the vocabulary bears a bit of the blame, but mainly, there are already several other large, busy, dedicated forums for those that my site was targeting, so I simply disabled the feature altogether (except for one private group forum for my vendors to share tricks and ask questions away from prying eyes, but that’s beside the point).
The second biggest complaint was that there was too much focus being put on the community aspect of the site, and not nearly enough on the reason we were all there..shopping! In response, there is no longer a main site newsfeed linked to anywhere on the site. The only newsfeed that members have easy access to are those available in the “activity” sub items on their profile (personal, friends, groups (how do I get rid of that?), favorites, and @mentions). I’ve also linked the logged in member’s name in the sidebar directly to their “friends” feed, which seemed like a more natural landing spot than a list of what the member has posted herself.
As for the shopping side of things, I already had a good working sitewide post aggregation system going on using Donncha’s Sitewide Tags plugin, so I actually just incorporated that into the main site and onto the front page, rather than having it relegated to it’s own child blog. The main site index page now consists of a “features” module, where I’ll be posting about cool things our vendors are doing, giveaways, etc., a site news module, and below all of that, the very latest items that vendors have posted to their shops (currently set to 5, but will increase at some point). Since I incorporated the Sitewide Tags blog into the main site, I ended up deciding to create a new custom post type for site news, with categories “news” and “features”, so as not to muddy the waters too terribly. I’ve also installed the WPMU Blog Topics plugin, which will give shoppers yet another way to find what they’re looking for, as shop (child blog) owners will now have a way to categorize their entire shop into topics that I’ve pre-set, which will be great once we get the vendors signing up again.
Incredible feats (at least to me) that have not changed from the old site:
1. Member profile feedback system
2. Original shop (child blog) usage tutorials
…Anyway, I’d love for anyone who’s willing to check it out! It’s still very much a WIP and not ready for relaunch yet, but I really feel like I’m headed in the right direction this time. I do have a wealth of suggestions already from the vendors and shoppers that I’m catering to, but I’d definitely welcome the same from those of you here, who are probably a lot more technical minded (I especially need help with the sidebar…I’m drawing a total blank on what to do with that ugly thing!) Balance is nice
I found it odd that the Forums tab only shows public topics – this makes it much less useful. So I’ve written some code that would shows all topics for logged in users in the forums tab – both public, private and hidden. I’d like to turn this into a plugin, or maybe it could be added to version 1.3. anyway here is the code, and I’d like some feedback before I make it a plugin.
`
//
// Show private topics in Disucssions tab
//// remove the default forums privacy filter if we’re in the forums section and the user is logged in
function scg_show_private_discussions() {
global $bp;if ( $bp->loggedin_user->id && !$bp->groups->current_group )
remove_filter( ‘bbpress_init’, ‘groups_add_forum_privacy_sql’ );
}
add_action( ‘bbpress_init’, ‘scg_show_private_discussions’, 9 );function groups_add_forum_privacy_sql_better() {
global $bp;// filter only in the forums section for logged in users
if ( $bp->loggedin_user->id && !$bp->groups->current_group ) {
add_filter( ‘get_topics_fields’, ‘groups_add_forum_fields_sql’ ); //unchanged
add_filter( ‘get_topics_index_hint’, ‘groups_add_forum_tables_sql_better’ ); //changed
add_filter( ‘get_topics_where’, ‘groups_add_forum_where_sql_better’ ); //changed
add_filter( ‘get_topics_distinct’, ‘groups_add_forum_distinct_sql’ ); // new filter
}
}
add_filter( ‘bbpress_init’, ‘groups_add_forum_privacy_sql_better’ );// get distinct results otherwise there are duplicates
function groups_add_forum_distinct_sql( $sql ) {
return $sql . ‘ DISTINCT ‘;
}/*
// this function does not need to change
function groups_add_forum_fields_sql( $sql ) {
return $sql . ‘, g.id as object_id, g.name as object_name, g.slug as object_slug’;
}*/// added the left join to the group members table
function groups_add_forum_tables_sql_better( $sql ) {
global $bp;
return $sql . ‘, ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name . ‘ AS g LEFT JOIN ‘ . $bp->groups->table_name_groupmeta . ‘ AS gm ON g.id = gm.group_id ‘ . ‘LEFT JOIN ‘. $bp->groups->table_name_members . ‘ AS gmem ON g.id = gmem.group_id ‘;
}// returns all topics from public/private/hidden groups the user is confirmed member of
function groups_add_forum_where_sql_better( $sql ) {
global $bp;$bp->groups->filter_sql = ‘ AND ‘ . $sql;
return “(gm.meta_key = ‘forum_id’ AND gm.meta_value = t.forum_id) AND (“. $sql.” AND gmem.user_id = ” . $bp->loggedin_user->id . ” AND is_confirmed = 1 AND is_banned != 1 OR g.status = ‘public’ AND “. $sql.” )”;
}`please use the @dwenaus when replying so I’ll get an email response – hopefully.
Here’s something I would like to share. This edit was done in the header.php file of buddypress to hide the Nav Bar from guests and displays WordPress pages only.

I came across this: http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1125
This is exactly what im looking for: “A Semi-Private Group would be a mix of a Public Group and a Private Group. The only difference between Semi-Private and Private is that all Semi-Private Group content is visible to the public but only group members can make updates or contribute to the group. “
Is there a possibility to do this?
Hi all,
I’m new to Buddypress but pretty seasoned with WordPress.
I have been asked by a client to produce a kind of photographer’s social network site, similar to `www.modelmayhem.com` and `www.purestorm.com` and I wondered if Buddypress was a possible solution?
I have zero experience with Drupal or Joomla so, if possible, I would love to be able to stick with WordPress on this.
The site would need to have the following features;
Private messaging,
Photo uploads,
Photo gallery creation
Photo / photo gallery commenting,
Facebook style ‘Friends’Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
My site is private. How can I disable the activity and other feeds , especially for firefox? The following no longer works with 1.2.6. (http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/disable-activity-rss/)
Plugins seem not to do it for bp.If you use Buddypress Template Pack and upgrate Buddypress to 1.2.6 and decide to update the template files that Template Pack copied into your WordPress Template directory with the updated 1.2.6 bp-default template files, things will break in your WordPress/Buddypress site. Add Friend and Send Private Message buttons will disappear (and maybe other things break as well.)
Anyway.. I found a way to fix Buddypress Template Pack (which has not been updated since February, by the way.)
Copy and paste over some of the items from functions.php in the bp-default theme into the bb-template-pack.php file in the Buddypress Template Pack plugin folder.
On line 35 of bb-template-pack.php I changed bp-js to dtheme-ajax-js
Then I pasted in everything from line 24 through 36 in functions.php in the bp-default theme functions.php and pasted it into bp-template-pack.php after the bracket } after line 35
I have compressed a copy of my new bp-template-pack.php if you want it. You can download it here: http://www.hotforwords.com/files/bp-template-pack.zip
