Since the 1.1 migration (from 1.0.3), we have an issue with the sign-up form.
The name and email fields are displayed, then this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method BP_XProfile_Field::get_edit_html() in /home/casualgames/www/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/deprecated/bp-xprofile-deprecated.php on line 446
Any idea?
On my research of possible underpinnings for a site we are intending to build I came across BuddyPress, and I’m considering it as a viable alternative to Drupal, which would have been my first choice.
We would need the commonplace components of a social site like user profiles with custom fields, image galleries (does BP have these already ?? – I saw some mention of it in the 1.0 roadmap but haven’t yet located them in the demo site), private messaging, a forum and even more
Nevertheless, the recent discussion over at wpmu.org about WP MU being discontinued and the low development activity on WP MU in general made me think if BuddyPress is built on a rather fragile padding.
Is it considered sensible to build a professional grade community upon a BP foundation yet? I am aware of GigaOM Pro et al. but still need a clue of how much in-house development and sysadmining work they do to keep BP afloat.
Any insights?
Topic: BuddyPress Spam
I’m about ready to ditch BuddyPress. I installed the latest trunk and have the BPDEV anti-spam component with a captcha. Still, people continue to register, bypassing required fields.
The least that could happen is either BuddyPress become compatible with Akismet or enable some registration approval step, where an admin could delete accounts with empty profiles before they go “live.”
Topic: Ads with buddypress
Hey I think lot of you must be interested in this.
Buddypress default theme is very very suitable for ads
we can use ads in header, sidebar in profile fields, group fields, sidebar of members and blog directories.
I think any plugin that can insert ads to these fields and simultaneously to each blogs (that comes under wpmu) will be quite great.
I’m considering moving some x-profile fields into the base, but wonder if the field data will move as well. If that’s not possible, can I export that data?
Alternatively, can someone provide example code how to display profile fields beyond the simple base categories? (I’d like to offer the same functionality as the “edit profile” screen, where all members can select links in the status bar.)
I’m using the latest trunk and the default theme.
Topic: Trunk And Profiles, Database
I need to update 1.1 Beta to the latest trunk in order to kill the ability of subscribers bypassing required registration fields. However, I want to be sure the profiles of current members are retained, as well as the overall database. What steps should I take to prepare for upgrading to the latest trunk? Thanks.
How do members view all profile sections, rather than just “base”? There is much extended details that members need to access, but only admins seem to be able to view.
I have a detailed registration form, including several vital fields that are required. However, I’ve discovered there are no content checks. For instance, a field asking for work history can be skipped if a new user simply enters a character or even backspaces over the text.
Secondly, is there a way to mark certain fields “private,” which can be viewed only by admins – providing some sense of security that information won’t be shared?
Lastly, is there anyway to make the “Name” field in the “base” profile set editable? I need to provide some way (besides a blog post) of new subscribers knowing they must enter both their first and last names, not simply an anonymous login id.
Thanks.
Topic: Google maps for xprofile
Hi, I started to write a plugin for saving and displaying maps (from Google maps) on a user profile, based upon the value of some xprofile fields.
I made it under BP1.0.3. (Seems that there are problems with BP1.1 ?)
It is build on the top of the “mappress-google-maps-for-wordpress” plugin, so you have to install it too to make this work.
First, you have to define in the mapPress admin page (bp-mapPress options are in there) some informations for bp-mapPress :
-the profile group where the map will be loaded
-the fields that will be used (ex. street + city + country) to search the location
-some other minor stuff.
Then, you can add a marker with a location in your profile.
The map will be displayed on your profile too.
!!!
It’s an (very) early work but you can try it here; if you would like to see it.
Just wondering what you think of after 2 days of work.
I made some minor changes in the original mappress plugin (added the filters return ‘mappress_has_maps’, ‘load_map_args’ and ‘mappress_save_options’) : So I included my modded version in this zip so you can try it.
I contacted the author of the plugin to see if he could add them in his code.
He told me that he will soon release a new version so i’ll wait until that to continue the developpement…
As you will see; there are bugs and it doen’t display very properly, but with some css and jquery it must be possible…
If I continue working on this; I would like to add those features :
-add a group submenu to list group members on a single map;
-add a page where are listed all the members of the buddyPress
-define “Get directions” to make the startpoint your own saved map
Enjoy !
Topic: Plugin Request: Garage
I posted this on BBpress as well. I have the whole WPMU+BB+BP
I’m looking for someone to make this plugin. If money is the issue please email me. Something like this but simpler. http://forums.phpbbgarage.com/garage.php
I would it be separate from the forums. maybe another tab in a person’s profile.
People can upload their car picture(s) and fill out pre determined fields.
You will have a link under their name when they post saying garage where you see the person vehicle, like you see their profile. That would be the minimal and the starting point.
Then more complex:
-Have a directory of all the people’s car, maybe looking like the groups in bp (http://testbp.org/groups).
-Have rating on the car
-Top Rating, Random, Search, and Last updated.
-Add more than one car, more than one picture
