BuddyPress.org

Hi there!

I’ll be using BuddyPress to launch an online weather community site coming up. I have a few getting started questions I need to ask the BuddyPress community. The site will offer signup/registration, member profiles, direct messaging, a blog, and discussion groups for starters. Here’s the other questions I had:

1. Can we custom brand/theme the signup/login page for our BuddyPress site? I’d like to do something a little more than a generic WordPress signup/login page.

2. What’s the best way we could handle photo/video galleries on BuddyPress? Should we have a full-fledged photo gallery or just have people include photos in their blog posts/weather reports? For videos, I’ll likely have people publish to YouTube or Vimeo and embed in videos. Should we have a video galleries page people can embed in videos or just have those added to blog posts as well?

3. Is there a way to offer live chat in BuddyPress or a live chat WordPress plugin we could look into?

4. Since people from around the world will be sending in weather reports to the blog, I’d like to be able to display their location (not their current location using GPS but statically display what location they enter into their WordPress/BuddyPress profile) next to their name and blog title. This would help us to at-a-glance know where all weather reports are coming from. Is there a way to pull this off in WordPress/BuddyPress?

Thanks!

I would like to change the URL for members on our Buddypress site so that instead of using the username (www.mysite.co.uk/members/username

it uses a custom buddypress field (www.mysite.co.uk/members/businessname)

I have found this article and can change it so the URL reads the above but the profile doesnt load and you get a 404 error.

I’m still sorting the confusion of the theme I bought that uses buddypress and a bunch of other things for its social features.. I’m working on the registration fields, I fixed a glitch from earlier in the week that messed up the way the theme would present login and register.. under buddypress in my dashboard now I’m trying to edit the profile fields section where I found a lot of great things to add to the registration process… I cant however fit any of them in my themes register box pop up.. each field scrolls down page as I add.. I know this is most likely theme related but anyone know how I can make them appear this way [email info, username][profile fields]

instead of [ ]
[ ]

ill probably end up contacting my theme provider but figured id ask that^, the real reason I came here is to ask, if I remove all profile fields from the registration page.. how can I create a page for them to fill in after they register and have the info appear on their “base” info page… also is there a way to disable name change after registration?

hi there

please help to answer these questions

I want to set it so admin or someone has to approve anything that users post on the
sitewide activity page
How does admin or anyone we can set moderate what the users post on the “site wide activity” page? ie how do we make this non- automatic and only show once we have approved?

2) Do you have a screenshot of what the login/ register page in buddypress looks like?
I cant see this in the features page

3) How do we set so that only logged in users can see the sitewide activity page?
so that this page shows a message saying user must login / register first to see the posts?
ie I want users to register first before they can see the site wide activit ystream
How would we do this?

4) Is there a screen in the wordpress backend for the website developer to see all the users registered and delete them or suspend them if they are spam posters for example

Thankyou!

Hello, I’m trying to add a radial chart of some stat info of the user (number of post, comments, questions, quiz, views) and want to add it on the user/profile page just below its basic information.
I want to add the Radial Progress Chart but don’t know where do I call the script or where to I store the files.

first of all, i’m new to the plugin and wordpress and i am building a website with community features. feel free to tell me about some cool plugins that hook into buddypress to add functionality (i already know about bbpress).
_____________________________________________________

on the wordpress dashboard in settings, buddypress, components, there is an unchecked feature named “site tracking”. what is this exactly and what does it do?

i am using the buddypress login widget. the only tabs it has are the user name and the logout button. is there a way to add more tabs to this like friends, private messages, forum topics (when bbpress is installed), etc?

in the options menu i can enable/disable users uploading profile picture and cover picture. is there an option to limit whether they upload a photo to the site or use a url to post the photo? can i make it so that i can select stock images for user to choose their profile picture and cover picture from?

i notice there is also support for additional community interaction like grouping and posting on group pages. is there a way for users to have their own personal mini blogs that can be viewed by other users?

how would i go about customizing the design/layout of user profiles?

any other advice for me?

I’m trying to find a way to edit and style the strings of text associated with the password checker. (“Very weak, weak, medium, strong, etc.”

I have searched through most of the BP template files, and I’ve also searched the language files, but I can not find these strings anywhere.

Can someone direct me to the files where these strings (or that function) exists?

Also, to cut down on my questions, can someone point me to documentation which details where stuff like this is located?

I sincerely thank anyone with some advice.
