Thanks, Just r-a-y. Very much appreciate you taking the time.

I had a chance to delve a bit deeper and found that this functionality has been requested quite a bit in the BP forums and elsewhere around the web. Sounds like there is hope that this functionality will be built into the BP core at some point. Any confirmation on that from BP brass?

Before I go down the path of training together a bunch of plugins, I was hoping someone could answer a few questions about a single BP network, installed on the mother site and spread across the WPMU:

1. Is it possible to pick and choose what BP data is displayed? Display the whole shebang on the mother site, but only display the Real Estate Investing related data (group/forums) on RealEstateInvesting.com? Save for the network-wide activity stream on the child site, of course.
2. Is there such a thing as subgroups and/or subforums (ability to create forums that only relate to the Real Estate Investing groups, mayhaps?)? I’ve seen outdated forum posts that this functionality isn’t available, but that it’s being worked on as a future release (https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/bbpress-and-subforums/ is one example).

If both 1 and 2 were possible, I think this would *mostly* eliminate my need to have multiple BP networks.

I apologize that I don’t know the base table/relationship structure of BP. I hope to take a look at that soon, as that knowledge may eliminate some of my questions.

Hey Team BuddyPress, I have the beginnings of an idea, and I think WordPress Multisite/BuddyPress is the solution, but can’t quite nail it down, due to lack of experience. I have a good deal of WP experience, but none with WPMU or BP, so I’m hoping the BP crowd can help make it click (my apologies in advance for long-windedness).

The high level idea is to have 1 main site (hypothetically named InvestingHub.com to protect the innocent) and surround it with niche sites (RealEstateInvesting.com, StockMarketInvesting.com, etc.). In the interest of the 24 hours a day rule, I need something scalable. I’m hopeful that WPMU is the answer to that prayer: 1 WP admin to rule them all. Up to this point, I’ve only talked WP, but please weigh in if you see any red flags waving. Is it possible to extend wpmu to standalone domains instead of subdomains?

BuddyPress will go on InvestingHub.com, but there needs to be BP functionality on the niche sites as well. As with above, it would be nice to have the single install reside on the mothership site. Is that possible? BPMU, perhaps?

It would be ideal if the niche site’s BP was aware of the main BP and vice versa. For example, Larry happens upon RealEstateInvesting.com through organic Google search. After signing up and bumming around for a bit, he/she sees the activity stream for InvestingHub.com, which alerts them to the the existence of StockMarketInvesting.com. Turns out Larry is interested in as well and finds his way over to StockMarketInvesting.com. He bums around for a bit and decides he wants to become a member of this community as well.

In case you got lost in my ramblings, here are all of my questions, simplified:
1. Is it possible to extend wpmu to standalone domains instead of subdomains?
2. Is it possible to have a single install of BuddyPress, but have separate networks across a WPMU?
3. Is it possible to display certain data from the BP root on the niche sites and vice versa?
4. If a person is a member of niche site A, does he have to go through the registration process all over again to become a member of niche site B?

Thanks in advance for your time and responses that will surely lead me out of this dark place I’m in!

@ouyagamingsource please create a new topic and move the information/questions you posted above which are not related to the subject matter at hand over there.

@ahmedselim open up your theme’s header.php file, copy all code, paste in pastebin.com, click submit, and post the generated URI here. Do the same for your theme’s index.php, page.php, sidebar.php and footer.php files. Initial scan looks like you only need to create two files for BP compatiblity, but have to see the files first.

Hello,

Two questions:

1. How to create a list of members registered with the community, a la BP Support? Clicking on the “Members” tab gives a list of members ordered by newest member first.

2. How to create an image which will fit within the dimensions of the avatar specified, without loss of quality? Currently, the image has to be cropped and is not automatically reduced to size.

Request guidance from BP-WP experts.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Topic: Should install bbpress or buddypress first?

in group forum Installing BuddyPress

lucianoippolito
Participant

Hello,

Sorry if this question is already answered, if that is the case I wasn’t able to find it.

From now on I will use budypress in my site. BUT regardless of all Budypress features the most important piece (asset) of the site will be the sitewide forum and I would like to protect it as much as possible.
For this reason I want to keep my forum installation safe even tough I have future problems with buddypress and need to un-install it. I am not interested in group forums at all, I will only have sitewide forum enabled. So my questions are:

1. In which sequence should I install bbpress; bbpress plugin and then buddypress plugin or the opposite?

2. If I install buddypress first then, at the moment of activating sitewide forums, buddypress will install bbpress. What would happen if I have to de-activate the buddypress install? would the bbpress forum attached to BP be de-activated too or it would keep working alone?

Thank you for your time,
Luciano

@mercime Hey no problem. Just out of curiosity even though that plugin has not been updated, do you know if it works with the current versions of WP and BP? I know sometimes it just a matter of testing with the current versions and updating the readme.txt in the plugin to reflect it will work with them. Thanks again.
@tdempsey2012 if @mercime confirms the questions above this may help give a you a reason for friends on your site. Also you may want to check out the plugin BP FriendPress https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/buddypress-friendpress.zip . It allows you to show your friends and your own activity in the activity stream for your users like facebook does. The admin still see’s sitewide activity.
Edit:
@mercime @r-a-y @tdempsey2012 I just tested r-a-y’s plugin on my test server with the latest versions of WP and BP and its working as it should. Subscribers get denied sending a private message if they are not friends, and the admin can send a private message to anyone regardless of friendship. Is there a chance of getting @r-a-y to update the repository to reflect this plugin is still valid for the current versions of WP & BP? Thanks!

After I login, I want to review my postings for comments and follow-up. How do I ask the site to show me all of the threads that I’ve posted into or created?

Is there forum content specific to how this site works?

Its ridiculous you are bound to be loosing users that give up in frustration because they cant find their answers – or the same questions gets asked over and over for the same reason wasting resources. And I just started a new thread exclaiming the same because I couldn’t find this thread – I had to use google which returns lots of links to plugins about forums or about search functions.

Avatar upload is only after the user has activated their account. There is a trac ticket to add this function back but it might not get added.

If you are wanting people to add an avatar when they log in. You can have the user get redirected to the change avatar page. This would have to be coded by you or a developer.

You can add any profile fields to the members-loop.php go into that file and scroll down to this text:

/***
* If you want to show specific profile fields here you can,
* but it’ll add an extra query for each member in the loop
* (only one regardless of the number of fields you show):
*
* bp_member_profile_data( ‘field=the field name’ );

1. I want to change the Avatar to Profile Picture across the site. I have already tried changing the language file. I am using StudioPress Genesis and Lifestyles for the theme, so I’m not sure if that is complicating things. Yes, I have already installed Genesis Connect.

2. I want visitors to be able to add their Avatar while they are registering. I have already added the fields I want to the registration form, but cannot find a way to add the Avatar upload field.

3. I want the information from the registration form added to the Member Directory. Right now all it has is the Avatar and their name.

Finally, I would love to find a good ‘free’ user guide. Is there one out there?

Thank you,

Thanks for the reply. I noticed the search field in the top right corner but it seems to give no forum results. (I see no breadcrumbs btw.)
So it is true, a forum with 28,000 topics and no search. I can imagine there must be tons of questions posted over and over again in different threads. I’m rather new to BP and have some questions that may have been posted before. I hope the mods won’t be too hard on me .

Topic: BuddyPress from Dev to Production on Multiple Servers

in forum Miscellaneous

Bobby Jones

Dear experts,

Have been struggling to find a unified article on this subject, just bits and pieces, so seeking for some expert advice or some guidance on how to weave the multiple articles on this subject to have it make sense.

We currently have the following setup:

– MAMP local development environment
– dev.ourwebsite.com at Media Temple on a DV server
– test.ourwebsite.com at Media Temple on a DV server
– http://www.ourwebsite.com (production) at Media Temple on a VE server

The last three servers in the list have been purchased, and will soon be setup, however we have no idea how best to set this up. So some questions please:

1. How should we configure CNAME, MX and A records on ourwebsite.com domain to point to each of these servers correctly (except for the local dev environment of course) – we would like each server to operate independently (so not just web, but also be able to send/receive mail for plugins that use mail etc.)
2. What is the best tool (look like duplicator plugin, but perhaps others) to migrate the site code, config and database scripts from one server to the next
3. We are using Coda for development locally, what can we use with MAMP, Coda etc. to help our source code management and versioning from each environment to the next

Thanks for any help would be very much appreciated since we are struggling to get this setup in time for our January go-live.

Topic: Get stylesheet directory problem

in forum How-to & Troubleshooting

gcoulby

I know there are often questions about this but I’m confused by the format of the this structure. Taken from line 50 in “buddypress/groups/single/home.php”

elseif ( bp_group_is_visible() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘groups/single/members.php’ ), true );

now at the moment I have copied a blank php file, which just has Test written in it, into that directory and changed the filename to this.

elseif ( bp_group_is_visible() ) :
locate_template( array( ‘groups/single/blankhome.php’ ), true );

This changes the home landing page to “blankhome.php”

However, I would like this file here: “[child theme]/groups/single/blankhome.php”

I know you will need to use “get_stylesheet_uri” but I don’t know how or where to implement it.

Can anybody help.

Topic: Creat a network of many buddypress sites, using single buddypress install

in forum Creating & Extending

rickkumar
Participant

Hello Everyone,

I plan to launch few websites using buddypress.

All sites will be ‘almost’ same type, the only difference will be the topic of the site.

What I mean is that all sites will be “consumer complaint and discussion sites” focused on various different complaints or topics.

The complaint form will have same number of fields but the field descriptions/titles will be changed to better fit the topic of the complaint site.

Each site will have it’s own unique domain name, even though they will all be sharing same/single buddypress install.

So I have the following questions:

1. Can buddypress provide full complaint/discussion site functionality for people to complain about various issues or discuss any topic? Do I need a plugin for submitting complaints or topics?
2. Is it possible to setup a social network of many sites (each with different domain name) using same buddypress install?
3. Is it possible to share users among all sites so that they can login to any site in the network withOUT registering again? In other words: same user profile for all sites in the network.
4. If #3 above is possible, then is it possible to keep the user blogs, forums, groups, activity, etc all separate from site to site?
5. Is there a plugin available to have multi-network buddypress sites setup properly?
6. Will all the networks ‘have to’ use the same exact theme?
7. How many maximum number of network sites can be installed on a single buddypress install without breaking it?

Note: The reason I want to have a multi network on single buddypress install is so that it is easy to manage using single admin panel.

Please advise if this is even possible or do I just need to use separate buddypress for each site?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
I am new to WordPress and website building. A few months ago I installed BuddyPress on the website I was building with the intent it would be for registered users- not published. When it was indexed and published by Google I removed it from my site. At some point after that I went on the BuddyPress.org forum to ask how to remove the BuddyPress site from search results and used my website name as my user ID and used the website’s email address. Now, the first Google search result for my website is a BuddyPress.org Profile and when its clicked on there is a forum that I was never on and refers to posts that originated two years ago that have nothing to do with me or my website. The questions I asked on the BuddyPress forum are separate search results for my website. The problems that I caused myself with search results prior to changing my WordPress user ID and password make it very hard for me to have use of my website. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Thank You
