BuddyPress.org

great idea !

everybody know something about design and usability – collaboratively we will be more efficient and have a better output than everybody is cooking his own soup.

No need to bother Andy & Team with Theme-questions….. they should clearly focus on code-hacking

Privacy component is planned for 1.2. It’s better to ask questions on the privacy component topic than here.

If you think it’s wpmu problem, then this isn’t the place to ask questions…

@alexduvot

Let’s please keep this discussion to the public forums and not in private messaging. You will get better results with multiple people looking at this thread.

Okay, one more time, please answer these questions.

Thanks for this Simon. I have 2 questions though:

1. Do I just have to add this code at https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1150/hook-to-stop-group-creation.diff in the bp-groups.php or do I have to edit the whole file? If I have to edit it, in what particular part of the file should I put the code?

2. The code in https://trac.buddypress.org/attachment/ticket/1150/restrict-group-creation.php will be used as a plugin right? and I will upload it in the plugins folder and activate it?

Thanks in advance for your response!

That function is provided by wpmu, not buddypress. Please post your questions on wpmu forum.

@bobblegom I am BP all the way but shouldn’t you compare Google Trends on “drupal” vs “buddypress” not “drupal social” ?

@candydate I just see the release of 2.7, 2.8 all the way to 2.8.4, all of @donncha’s hard work and the aforementioned community buzz and conclude that the wp community is not moving slowly.

I run a BP community of USMA alumni and not only is it stable but they generally love it. I am more of a hack than true coder and I have had no issues. It is def a serious professional grade tool. The ease of customization alone (I have many friends who run Drupal sites and it’s always fun to hear them defend the arcane way Drupal does things.

WP and BP have a lot of growth ahead and they are by no means perfect but the openness and willingness to change and grow is evident (just see any IRC chat with all the developers)

Happy to answer more specific questions on resource requirements and what you were not able to learn from your dummy site.

“low development activity on WP MU in general” – the WPMU folks have been on fire lately, not sure what slow dev universe you speak of. I second Jeff’s comments.

As for some of the features you speak of, a simple cruise through Andy’s http://testbp.org would answer those questions. Compared to the mind-numbing admin work required for Drupal and Joomla, BP is a joy. Of course, if you don’t want to do any work under the hood, go with Ning and have your entire experience dictated to you.

I thought someone else reported this problem, and you were also reporting your problem there. I’m not sure if another of this is needed. But when you post questions, you SHOULD always include your server setup, like buddypress version, wpmu version, plugins in use.

Please search the forums before asking questions, you’d have found your answer. I suggest you read https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/buddypress-privacy-component-an-update#post-23764.

Okay, a few questions to start:

• From your description, it is not clear how you’ve attempted to debug your setup. When trying to figure out an issue with BuddyPress, it is best to distill your environment down to the lowest common denominator. This means switching to the default BP theme and deactivating all plugins except BP. It is not clear if you did this completely or just partially. In other words, you need to fully test your BP install without any 3rd-party addons. If it works in that state, then you can safely assume it is an issue with a custom theme, another plugin, or both. So, did you reset BP to its lowest common denominator?
• What errors are you seeing in your server’s log files?
• Could you please provide details about this setup:
  

  I have Buddypress installed in a subfolder with another wordpress installation in the root…

We have a domain policy. If you follow it then I’m happy to link and reference your site from buddypress.org, if not, then I can’t.

buddypress-es.com exists also. These are basically just people willing to contribute and translate the BuddyPress core for people with native languages other than English.

It’s really a fine line to try and walk, but unless the site is dedicated to only furthering the BuddyPress platform, it’s best not to use it in the domain name.

Even the BuddyPress test site is testbp.com and doesn’t use BuddyPress in the name.

Example: If you made a website, even not for profit, and it had Sony in the name, and you didn’t have written permission from Sony, it wouldn’t be long before you’d get a letter in the mail from their lawyers asking to change it.

You should use the search-function in the forum before asking… We already solved this issue here: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/two-questions-about-the-login-process#post-8380

That should work for you

Okay, let’s go back to the basics. Just so that we have all the initial information required, please answer these questions.

Thanks. Excuse the non-coder questions, but should bp_profile_group_tabs() ?> be added (it’s not in bp-sn-parent) and in which profile php file?

I notice bp_profile_group_tabs() is in profiles/edit.php. This chunk of code caught my eye as being perfect for the main profile page (as opposed to the edit screen):

<?php get_header() ?>

<div class=”content-header”>

<ul class=”content-header-nav”>

<?php bp_profile_group_tabs(); ?>

</div>

Could that be added to the main profile php file?

@Burkie: snaps is an interesting forum. I’m building something similar for journalists. A couple questions:

1. How did you display profile field groups beyond “base” ? I never see those displayed, except when logged-in as admin or by the profile-owner.

2. What do you use to create a portfolio link to photos? I have a number of photographers and offering a portfolio would be a popular feature.
