BuddyPress.org

There is a plugin for a photo, gallery, /audio that hookes into their profile.

When users edit their profile, if you add custom profile fields via admin, every word they fill out will become a tag to member searches and inquiries, so lets say a member puts in their location as “Kentucky” If any such user would to search on the site “kentucky” that member would pop up.

For the chat, I would recommend evolve chat.

I’d ask these questions over on the etivite site.

Search, there is a plugin that allows you to set up default settings for newly activated WPMU blogs. I can’t think of the name but it’s out there.

I think it happens only on local setup and specially when buddypress is accessed via http://localhost/… ? Is that correct ?

It does work on live servers and local machines having a vhost setup (http://www.WHATEVERYOUWANT.SOMETHING).

The plugin does not create cookies on local machine (comparing both phpinfo() outputs), is it related to cookies on localhost (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1134290/cookies-on-localhost-with-explicit-domain) ?

Thanks for help.

There’s a plug-in called LEENK.ME that is now auto-posting to LinkedIn. It’s $0.99 a month, but worth it. I’m using it and it’s great. it posts to Twitter, Facebook Fanpages and profiles, Google Buzz and LinkedIN automatically. And users get to decide whether or not they want to use it. You just have to share your API key with the site and each member can set it up on their own blog. The developers also answer questions in a very timely fashion.

No courseware. The site was launched March 2009 on WordPress MU/BuddyPress. Slight modifications based on snippets/plugins posted by Burt Adsit, Paul G., Boone G., JJJ and Andy.

The content is mostly pre-recorded video and audio – not a formal educational program with assignments etc. So the setup is pretty straightforward and most of the customization is just theming. Main site has different content for logged out and logged in users. “Classrooms” are private sub-domain blogs (soon-to-be sub-domain sites) with a classroom theme. The main site and classroom sites are both using custom child themes powered by the BuddyPress default theme.

I’m in the process of upgrading the site so I’ll be around here more often if you have questions.

I tried BP Registration options based upon this post and the plug-in has some serious bugs. While it does the things it says it does, it also disables admin editing of any of the WPMU blogs posted. I also have a contributor blog going and it disallows contributors from posting media, it cancels out the permissions function I used to allow media publishing. Registration also does not prevent the spammers from posting blogs all over your site. And they do not respond very soon to any type of support questions asking how to fix these problems. I really wish I could use this plug-in.

Likely if the plugin is called ‘single random post’ then you would place some form of template tag in one of the post loop pages i.e index.php or single.php however you are asking a question about a plugin on another plugins support site, I assume this isn’t a BuddyPress specific plugin but a WP one? If the plugin instructions are not clear then it might be best to see if the authors can answer specific questions.

Take a look at BuddyStream and see if that will work for you.

It is not myself you are ticking off it is a few people this will only be evident by the lack of responses you find to your threads, I am attempting to point this out so you can rectify this, my comments regarding your recent posts is meant just as I wrote above and carries no other connotation than that which you impose on it it. You have the skill level required to sort the issue out that you report in this thread, yes there may be a little bit of a learning curve but you should deal with some of the things I’ve had to get to grips with the last few days, we all have to advance and approach unfamiliar things and learn how to deal with them. This is not meant as unhelpful or as some brush off, but with a fair bit of experience over the years troubleshooting layouts for people on forums I can tell you providing an solution to this can only be achieved with access to the pages and using debugging tools such as firebug, this you are better positioned to do than us here on the forum, but we can guide you if you get stuck in and help you to use some essential techniques.

Latly and to re-iterate I have not hinted at anything, if I need to make a point I will do so in a quite obvious and definite manner, I will not hint at things. I do not require that you leave the forum and this forum is NOT mine it is a community project home and I am but a very minor and irrelevant part of it.

I would strongly urge that you spend 10 minutes and give this technical RFC paper a read it’s the definitive treatise on how to deal with forums and lists and will help:

Please look through the BP documentation (codex) read up on the child theme guide and the template pack guide which helps you convert WP themes to work with BP pages. If you require further help after reading those or have further questions post back in this thread.

gunju2221,

After logging into your account directly from the GoDaddy.com website, or the GoDaddy hosting control panel (https://hostingmanager.secureserver.net/Login.aspx), go to the Hosting Control Center and choose the File Manager that brings up all of the files in your hosting account. The “html” folder should be first to come up already opened and will house all of your site’s content. Next click on the “wp-content” folder. Then click on the “plugins” folder. Then click on the “buddypress” folder (this is where all files and folders related to BuddyPress reside as it is truly just really a robust, and wonderfully awesome, plugin). Then click on the “bp-forums” folder. You will then see the bb-config.php file. I believe that is the one you are in search of, no? You can’t access this through the wp-admin on your website. It must be done through an FTP client, cpanel, or as I have described above.

I know it’s irritating when a problem arises and holds you hostage while you pull out your hair looking for the solution, but instead of continuing the “bump” business, and further irritating the folks here, you can always try searching out your questions about WordPress/BuddyPress in Google, Bing, blogs, and other forums and so forth. I’ve literally found the answers to a majority of my past questions elsewhere than on here, though BuddyPress.org and it’s community is the obvious authority on all things BuddyPress. That’s certainly no slight on the terrific community of developers and volunteers here on BuddyPress, it’s just a fact. It is getting better though as time goes on.

The rest of the BuddyPress community,

A polite suggestion to the folks on here trying to answer questions that people have who aren’t quite as familiar with the product as you; Treat it like a car. Generally speaking, people don’t really need to know how it works, they just want to know how to drive it. Keep it simple, and forget about all of the tech jargon and mumbo-jumbo. For the location of the “bb-config.php” file, spell it out in the most direct and simplest of terms that you can muster, like I did above with a direct path to the file (think picture book). That’s it. It shouldn’t matter where your installation is hosted at as the basic files should all reside in the same place, unless you’ve moved them yourself after the install. This suggestion comes from a tech veteran who’s worked in IT over the past 20 years – mainframes, networking, hardware, software, web, etc.

Hi,

We purchase Mapology v1.1.1 yesterday. Our website is businessmaps.ca Craig M bought the plugin.
A few questions:

1. What format does the Business Location have to be entered to display properly? Is there a way to show a map for this step so the user can select their location on a map. I have the register page with a location field and have selected that page in Mapology settings: http://businessmaps.ca/register/

2. How do I display a map on the homepage with all the users “pins”

Thanks in advance for your help.
