    Can anybody help? (our just say, that it is not possible, important or whatever :-)… Or is my explanation in english so bad?!

    My installation is a webportal for youthwork where users can submit stuff with the Plugin TDO-Miniforms. It works great, but I have a question/request:

    The activity-feed shows the user who changed (revised) the article. That is not good, because we have to revise with different user from submitter, but it shouldn’t show in the activity-feed. Everytime it is revised by a different user it makes an activity-entry… Would be great if the activity-feed would just show the original author and not the reviser. Is there a possibility to change that?

    Second question: The activity feed shows information I don’t want people to see (per example stuff from plugin like that: [hidepost] blabla [/hidepost]). It is like the_content_rss in normal WordPress. My question is, if I can change that or my request if it could be changed at all…

    I know this is kind of “special” but for our installation it’s important!

    See an example here: http://berra.graphic-studio.ch/community

    Thanks in advance :-)!

    just simple couple of questions… i have a shared host really cheap one with lunar pages…

    I installed wpmu and realised that the subdomain function would work as i didn’t have access the Apache server and this means i cant ad the wildcard dns thingy.. so subdomains we out…

    so i reinstaled using the sub directory… this worked fine..

    i then tried to instal budypress with teh zip files.. as said in the readme…

    with the blogs one it just gave a a parse syntax php ( or one of those php eror lines on a white page just saying something was wring on a line around 300 i forget exactely..) error that would not let me do

    anything… so i deleted the blogs one and then it worked and i could ad a profile on the admin contol pannel but not on the splash page from register.. it first asked to creat a new blog then the profile so that didnt seem right..

    questions.. does budy press work on sub directories and why was the blogs plugin not working..

    i am trying to create a social site for spots or locations in kenya…

    cheers..

    The sitewide activity, members, and groups are all widgets which would simply needed to be added to your sidebar. Other than that its as simple as installing BuddyPress and your main site will be maintained while the profiles will assume the new theme.

    If you’d like to see a more custom example, check out MMAFrenzy.com where I integrated the profiles into my own design but for basic functionality and maintaining your own theme its just a basic install.

    Hope that helps, feel free to ask any questions so I can hopefully clear them up for you.

    I’m with Media Temple on the base DV with BuddyPress and its great, plus it easily scales up when your site grows (I currently fluctuate between two plans depending on traffic). MT has all the requirements for BuddyPress and a lot more. I’ve been with them for almost two years, so if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

    I was looking at other people’s solutions for making a buddypress community member only and really came to one conclusion. It will be best served when the components are added :) That being said, I was looking at the seriously easy hacks due to the high volume of SVN updates being made. The simple one I was looking at was doing the following in /buddypress-member/header.php right at the top of the file :

    <?php if(!is_user_logged_in()){

    nocache_headers();
    header("HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily");
    header('Location: ' . get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
    header("Status: 302 Moved Temporarily");
    exit();

    } ?>

    Just putting that at the top of the file would redirect any request to buddypress-member theme back to the login page if not logged in. While there are most likely better ways to do this, I was looking for a simple one copy and paste type edit when things change.

    My questions about this are:

    1) Is there a more efficient way to do this without multiple hacks to multiple files?

    2) If this is a good way, is there an easy method to add the text “You must login to view member profiles” to the login that I am redirecting to as well as a link to the wp-signup.php page?

    mu-plugins is the correct location.

    The information you have provided in your posts don’t have enough information in them to tell what is wrong. That’s why we have asked various questions.

    The short version would be that most likely you have not followed the install directions correctly. For example, the expected callback error means that a function call is being made to a function that hasn’t been defined. 99.9% of the time with a plugin that means one or more files are in the wrong place.

    I’m confused. That site looks like an elgg site. Is there a way to private message on here? I’d like to ask you some questions. I’m torn between WordPress MU/Buddypress and Elgg.

    Hi all, we’ve been working on a Mu+BP site for the past couple of months. We have just launched it into beta this week.

    We are not using all BuddyPress features yet, only the profile, activity and wire but will expand with groups, friends and the forum once BBPress is ready.

    So, without further ado, the site is: http://flokka.com and it’s a blogging community for Women in business. Apart from members being able to create their own blogs on the site, we also allow them to enter and use an existing external blog if they have one. We use SimplePie for all the external syndication and integration of content.

    Feedback and questions are welcome.

    Regards, Robert

    First of all, thanks for BuddyPress

    I have few questions though:

    1) How can I get same front page as at testbp.org?

    I understand that I can set what to show as the front page in settings/reading, but it doesn’t look like login page anyway… if I chane my settings, it takes me to my personal blog :(

    I need to set everything up and get it going ASAP

    2) I want to show ads on the site.

    But can’t figure how and there I can put them in the layout… Any advice?

    Finally,could you let me know please when is the first realize approx.? I know that it’s going to be in the end of the year, but cant check time schedule, because google thinks I’m a Thai coz’ I live in Thailand… I mean, I like everything about BP as I’m an old fan of WP and in need of a social network, but if its still a long way to go, I’d have to consider other options.

    Thanks a lot,

    Boris

    Hi – first: This Project is GREAT – exactly what I was looking for combined with a perfect timing… We are running right now a test-community just to check out BuddyPress (redmountn.ch)

    No I’m afraid, that I am a green horn, and it’s my fault… But I’m posting my possible bugs and questions anyway:

    1. Could it be, that IE has some Troubles with BuddyPress (I know, nobody here uses it, but the people “out there” do :-))? Examples: Friend-Finder doesnt really work, The Logo in the Menu-Bar is in the wrong place, adding a friend does work, but the process doesn’t stop etc… If there is a link underneath the pulldown menu (in the menu-bar), the menu doesn’t work properly)

    2. Could it be, that real-time Updating doesn’t work properly…? The Activity-Feed of my Friends does updates only every couple houres (in our test-community)? The friends-activity is outdated, etc

    3. Group-Pictures don’t work… (I tried it with bigger ones that 450×450)

    4. Did you think about other languages? We are from Switzerland and would like to have/make a german translation. But it doesn’t make sense to change the files themeself (because of updates). Any other things planned, in mind, possible?

    5. I think it’s not very userfriendly, that my landig-page after login is the backend of wordpress – my opinion it should be my graphical-profile “in” BuddyPress or something…

    6. Maybe that is a dummy question – but anyway: What is a “Group” in BuddyPress? Is that a tag? How does it work in the “backend” of wordpress and can it there be changed etc..?

    There are quite a few questions floating around about the URL structure.

    A lot of people are asking if it is possible to separate the profile from the blog. In BuddyPress profiles and blogs are completely seperate.

    When a user signs up, they set up their “home base” which is where their profile, a list of their blogs, their wire and so on are stored.

    This could be:

    http://andy.domain.com OR http://domain.com/andy

    Each time they register a new blog, the blog is given its own subdomain or folder, depending on the structure:

    http://andysblog.domain.com OR http://domain.com/andysblog

    For each blog registered by the user, it is listed on their blogs page on their home base:

    http://andy.domain.com/blogs OR http://domain.com/andy/blogs

    A few people are wondering if it is possible to change the structure to:

    http://domain.com/profile?user=andy

    This would fundimentally change the way WPMU works, so it’s not in the best interest of current WPMU users. However, it could easily be possible to set up a redirection from:

    http://domain.com/profile?user=username TO http://username.domain.com

    I hope this clears up the URL questions.

    Cheers

    Some stuff already available by using WPMU plugins:

    – sitewide feed

    – recent posts across the system

    – latest blogs or members

    – member list

    all over at http://wpmudev.org/plugins.php

    Remember, Buddypress is a plugin for MU – mind you, a really extensive plugin. Other sitewide features can be added the same way they get added in WPMU, it’s just a matter of figuring out if what the end result you want is pulling directly from a BP function or a regular MU function.

    Thanks for the replies, Andy.

    Really looking forward to seeing the home page theme this week. Sounds like you’re including everything that’s needed. The only thing missing is some measure of what’s popular within the community. I know you can use plugins for WPMU to do voting/rating of posts, but it would be nice if there was an equivalent way to track those votes/ratings to show on a person’s BP profile page (eg. My favorites), as well as on the home page (eg. Higest rated posts). Any chance of this being inherent to BP?

    It would be great to have the signup process modified to allow the first blog to be registered straight away. Is that something you’ll be able to get to by the release date?

    So here’s why blogs are separate from home bases:

    BuddyPress is designed to support existing blog networks, as well as brand new installations. On an existing installation, users already have their blogs set up and established. Forcing a new blog on them just to use BuddyPress features would make no sense and most of them would be left empty and unused.

    It could be possible to give users an option whether or not to set up a personal blog with their new home base. The trouble is, that would mean some home bases have blogs, others not. That could end up being even more confusing for users.

    Also, another big problem is adding additional authors to the blog. This would mean other site members would be posting within a users home base which would mean an additional layer of security would be needed so they couldn’t access the main user’s messages, profile etc.

    Overall, separating blogs from home bases saves a whole lot of headaches, and allows BuddyPress to easily support new and existing installs. Perhaps we can work out a way to automatically set up a redirection from “user.domain.com/blogs/blogname/” to “blogname.domain.com” for each new blog. Going any further than a simple redirect would be fundamentally change the way WordPress MU works – and that’s not something we want to do.

    I’d also like to create a BuddyPress blog theme, that will tie in with the overall look and feel, and add the user navigation menu. This should reduce the contrast between home bases and blogs even further.

    Hope this explains the choice a bit more.

    Cheers,

    Andy

    I’m really excited about BuddyPress…

    I’ve been kicking WPMU and Buddypress around for the past few weeks with a view to adopting it to build a social site for some groups I am involved with.

    The BuddyPress stuff is looking very cool and potentially could save a lot of bespoke development and/or plugin integration and customisation BUT… and this is a pretty big but…

    As echang highlights above, it worries me that a user has to have at least two different sub-domains in order to have a blog. Could a potential solution, at least in part, be to create a mod-rewrite rule that maps a blogs sub-domain to a sub-directory of the primary user sub-domain such as /blog. Thus the blog admin could be http://username.domain.com/blog/wp-admin/

    I’m pretty new to all this and I might be over simplifying the issue (or I might just be overly “simple”??? :-P) but I would be extremely intrested to hear what others in the WPMU and BuddyPress communities think about this topic, along with any other proposed solutions.

    Thanks for the questions. Some things I’d like to see on the home page:

    – Latest posts, comments, tags and new blogs.

    – Recently active, new, and biggest groups

    – Recently active and new members

    – Member, group and blog directories

    – Site wide activity stream

    – Recent group forum posts

    – Latest photo updates, most viewed photos

    Just some initial ideas. Most of this should be possible already with what is already there. I’m going to tackle the home theme next week.

    As for your second question. I’d like to see the signup process modified to allow the first blog to be registered straight away. This may be down the line a little bit though.

    Blogs will stay on their own subdomain/subdirectory simply because this is the way WordPress MU works – and changing that would break existing installations.

    Site RSS feeds will be available at some point.

    First, thanks for the great work so far! I’m also interested if site wide images and video will be available on the sites home page. Also, will there be any kind of voting or favorites feature in upcoming versions? Thanks again.

    First, I’m really excited about the potential of BuddyPress. I’ve installed and tested the latest version. A few questions about what’s coming up.

    1. Home page content/views: I’ve seen the note about adding aggregation to the home page eventually. I’m wondering if you can elaborate on what form that will take. Specifically, will you be able to show the latest posts and content (title, photo/video, post, author info) from members grouped by recency and/or category?

    2. Blog subdomains: for my purposes, I’d like to have users signup, choose a username.domain.com as they do now. Then, have one blog automatically created for them. Also, rather than having them choose anothername.blogname.domain.com as they do now, the blog URL would be username.domain.com/myblog or something without a separate subdomain name. Is that possible?

    3. Lastly, will there be an RSS feed for all community activity?

    I read somewhere that you were planning on this, Andy, but I just wanted to throw this out onto the new forums for further discussion.

    If I remember correctly (better not quote me on this) that you were planning on having a generic forum for the entire site, as well as group specific ones. Great idea–kind of like Facebook.

    I just had a few questions on how this would work, exactly. Would there be two or three installations, one for the “site forum”, and one with a bunch of categories for the different groups? Or would be it be on one forum with some others hidden?

    Really looking forward to the release. Good luck!

    BuddyPress now has it’s own bbPress forums set up to make it easier for people to discuss the project and what’s going on.

    Feel free to ask any questions and discuss any topics relating to BuddyPress. The mailing list will still be used, but more for developer discussions.

    We’ll be adding a custom BuddyPress design to fit in with the existing http://buddypress.org site in the next few days.
