Topic: Can BP do this?
Hi there,
I’ve known about BP for years, but never got around to using it for my sites.
I understand that with BP, users can create their own posts right?
When they create posts is it just like a normal WP post? ie. they will see the same screen as an admin does for creating a post.Well I’m looking for a simpler way for them to post things.
And maybe ‘short posts’ BUT still have the ability to add tags.Is there a plugin that makes it easier for them to ‘post’ things?
All they need is:
– heading
– body of the message
– tagsBUT these tags need to be searchable in the site,
(can you search multiple tags at once)eg.
If a user posts
Heading: Computer
Body: Selling my pc, etc. etc.
Tags: computer, monitor, keyboard, mouseand a user is able to search multiple tags – eg.
keyboard, mouseI want this post to come up in the search
Is this possible and fairly easy to do with BP?
edit; i found some plugins that MAY do this: answer/questions
However, if I used these plugins, how easy do they integrate with buddypress?
Can I customize to show these pages, and for users to have a default link to ‘create a question’ ?I mean, if they have ‘create post’ like a normal wordpress blog, then buying/using a question/answer plugin is kinda useless as most wont be able to find the link to it – and will automatically create a post instead.
Also, how would i know if it looks good or this plugin will integrate with BP?For example, would it show up as a sidebar saying recent questions like recent posts etc?
Otherwise if it doesn’t integrate with BP then there’s no point using BP if it has a question and answer section that acts normally as wordpress anyway.
If so, what are teh benefits of using BP AND a question/answer plugin?
one eg i think of is, users can private message eachotehr when someone posts a questionThanks
I’d like to build an admin page which uses custom queries to provide real-time access to the following metrics:
- Messages sent
- Messages sent that are replies
- Avg number of connections per user (in our case, or ‘Favorites’ per BP FOllow plugin, not friendships)
- Avg time between account creation and deletion
- # of account deletions to-date
- User login frequency per-week
- Avg profile views per session
xprofile field-specific metrics based on our network such as:
- # of Males signed up
- # of Females signed up
- Age breakdown 18-24, and every segment 5 years at a time beyond this
- more..
I haven’t decided on an admin-area dashboard or ‘generate report’ script, but I have some questions about a few of these before I get started:
With profile deletion, does anything remain which could be used to measure time between creation, deletion, etc?
I know about last activity but has anyone extended this to measure frequency?
Of course, will be updating thread with progress.. but any suggestions from those of you who have worked on similar internal tools would be GREATLY appreciated.
Topic: Profile & Settings Profile
I am using the latest version of both WordPress and BuddyPress (along with bbpress). I have two questions,
- What is the difference between the Profile link and Settings Profile link?
- The Profile link (upper left) works fine but the Settings:Profile link goes to a blank page.
Thanks for any help,
Sam HugheyHi.
So I’m using Gravity Forms User Add On and Autochimp. What was happening was that Gravity Forms updated buddypress profile fields using the function: xprofile_set_field_data() but Autochimp was not updating the subscribers list with this information.
Autochimp updates your subscriber list with buddypress profile fields when the buddypress profile fields are updated, it uses this action: xprofile_updated_profile
However, this action: “xprofile_updated_profile” is only available here: bp-xprofile-admin.php line 659 in function user_admin_load() and here: bp-xprofile-screens.php in line 134 in function xprofile_screen_edit_profile(). It is not available in the function xprofile_set_field_data() that Gravity Forms and many other plugins use.
The action should also exist in the function xprofile_set_field_data() in the file bp-xprofile-functions.php .
However, my php level is 5 out of 10 and the format of filters/hooks and object programming is still not 100% clear to me.
If I add the action below “return $field->save();” I assume it won’t happen since the function ends at return, yes?
But I also can’t add it before because the data has not saved and there might be some errors. I saw there were 3 save() functions in bp-xprofile-clases.php and couldn’t figure out which one was being called.
All 3 functions do have this action: “xprofile_data_after_save” but it’s an array and I have no idea how to manage that.
This is how Mailchimp calls the action:
add_action('xprofile_updated_profile', array( $this, 'OnBuddyPressUserUpdate' ), 101 );inside this function
public function SyncBuddyPress() { // Used to sync users with MailChimp add_action('xprofile_updated_profile', array( $this, 'OnBuddyPressUserUpdate' ), 101 ); add_action('bp_core_signup_user', array( $this, 'OnBuddyPressUserUpdate' ), 101 ); }And the function the action calls is this:
public function OnBuddyPressUserUpdate( $user_id = 0 ) { if ( 0 == $user_id ) { // Get the current user $user = wp_get_current_user(); } else { $user = get_userdata( $user_id ); } // Pass their ID to the function that does the work. AC_OnUpdateUser( $user->ID, $user, TRUE ); }I have multiple questions:
– why does the action get called with an array? what’s $this?
– how can I make Autochimp update when this function is called: xprofile_set_field_data()Thank you in advance!
WordPress 3.9.1
BuddyPress 2.0.1URL: http://zjubot.org/
At first, I use only Sweet Captcha plugin but It doesn’t protect my site well. Now I use WangGuard, Captcha, Sweet Captcha, SI Captcha… to prevent a robot registering on my site.
BUT, it seems that the robot ignored all CAPTCHA methods and registered directly. I write the Captcha questions in several languages(English, Chinese). It is impossible to pass that certification for robots.
When I disabled BuddyPress, robot registering was stopped.
I have no idea to stop spam.
I have been trying to post my question on this forum, but I keep getting an error that says “Error: Your topic cannot be created at this time.”
So I posted my question on WordPress Answers:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/144665/problems-with-redirecting-a-buddypress-custom-subnav-itemI’ve read all the answers to previous questions about how to remove “last active x minutes ago” throughout the site, and the easy fix is adding something like
span.activity {
display:none !important; }to the end of the CSS file. But I can’t figure out which one I should add it to, I’ve tried all the ones I can find. I am using the latest Buddypress, default theme, and my site is at: http://www.alltorontosparties.org/
Thanks!!
Hi,
I have the profile fields plugin but its not REALLY doing what I need. I need to have a simple process that goes as follows:
1. UserName and Password
1a. Referral Code or Name
2. Full Name
3. User Name
4. Child 1 – Age – Male/Female – Twin
5. Add another child (same as above)
6. Add profile pic, choose from 2 preset ones, or upload
7. 3 questions
8. JoinThe only real problem I am having is the child addition with the sub fields for those.
Also, I dont want to use the actual registration page, I want to embed on another page and after 1. go to a secondary page.Thanks
A key feature of the compose message “Send To” field is that as the user starts typing a friend’s name the UI prompts with possible users.
On my system this is unusable because it is so slow.
Firebug shows that the call to admin-ajax takes 3 seconds to return.
Questions
* is 3 seconds expected or particularly bad?
* Is this design sound? I would expect 100ms response on KeyUp therefore we will need to preload data into the page
* How can I optimise the current situation?
**Can caching help?All thoughts are welcome!
