BuddyPress.org

You shouldn’t be editing core files.

BP has a ton of hooks you can use to get your custom questions on the registration page.

You could just hook into the following actions and then your custom questions will appear:

add_action('bp_before_registration_submit_buttons', 'YOUR CUSTOM QUESTIONS');

add_action('bp_signup_validate', 'YOUR VALIDATION ROUTINE');

Login to your WordPress dashboard and click on BuddyPress on the left hand side. You will see a link called Profile Field Setup. This is where you create and edit your questions.

Hope that explains what you are looking for

No, buddypress is supposed to be a plugin that allows developers/bloggers to add a social network to their wp/wpmu. Personally I wouldn’t want that at all, look for a plugin or hire someone to do it for you, it isn’t that hard, you could even just copy paste.

And by making 2 topics doesn’t mean your getting help faster, just that your annoying apposed to the other users that have questions.

1. Yes, exactly right.

2. If the plugin has been updated properly since BP 1.1 release, you shouldn’t have to move a plugin template file. If you’ve found a recent plugin and it is telling you to move a file, then tell the developer to come over to these forums and we will help them fix it.

1) You can do this, but not by default. Requires a plugin or some custom code.

2) Depends on your server.

3) An open source project will always have bugs that’s why there’s new releases! Who says you have to pay someone to upgrade? BP is free and will always be free.

4) Possible via custom code.

5) There is no native support for photo albums; however, there are plugins that you can use to add support for this. BP Album+ and BP-Gallery are a few plugins that can do this.

6) This can be done via creating a custom theme.

A full admin can do everything… including creating new users.

Hi,

With the skeleton plugin what I did was create the DB access stuff (the basic create, some inserts etc) in the classes file.

then most of my functions are in the templatetags file (some also access/insert/update the db).

the form is in the main plugin php file (resides under wp-content/plugins) and it calls all the necessary files.

when you post the data in the form and then call a specific function to do the processing you can access the form variables using $_POST (that is in case you use post in your form).

If you need more help or having specific questions let me know. I am not a big expert but I got several plugins created using the skeleton and if its working…dont touch it

Couple questions about the Quote plugin:

1) Hitting the ‘Quote’ button populates the textarea with the text of the entire post being quoted, rather than just selected text. Is that the intended functionality?

2) Quoting a post that already quotes something (the much-feared QUOTE PYRAMID, or at least the beginning of one) doesn’t work (it populates the [cite] but not the [blockquote])… again wondering if that’s by design or not.

Pls add share button when user is in public mode setting by using tweetmeme

http://help.tweetmeme.com/2009/04/06/tweetmeme-button/

The Retweet button is for website and blog publishers that want to encourage their audience to retweet their content on twitter.

We have made our button really smart, with one simple piece of JavaScript we can give you up to date tweet counts and shorten your title and link for the retweets. Best of all it will work on any web page, anywhere!

If you are using WordPress please use our WordPress Plugin.

The Code

Copy and paste the following code where you want the button to be displayed.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script&gt;

Options

When the URL is different from the current URL

The button will automatically grab the URL of the page it is placed on. However if you want to place the button on more than one page or would like it in your feed, you will need to override the URL.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

tweetmeme_url = ‘http://yoururl.com&#8217;;

</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script&gt;

Just replace http://yoururl.com with the URL of the page you want to retweet. The URL must be the final destination URL, not an alias, such as a link using a shortening service (eg. Bit.ly).

Changing the size of the button – Compact Button

The Compact Button

We also offer a compact version of the TweetMeme button, with the same options as the larger button.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

tweetmeme_style = ‘compact’;

</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script&gt;

For some common questions, take a look at our FAQ

Changing the @username who is tweeted

By default the retweet button will be in the format of “RT @tweetmeme <title> <link>”. You can, however change the button to retweet your user account. By specifying the ‘tweetmeme_source’ parameter in the JavaScript you can change the format to “RT @yourname <title> <link>”.

<script type=”text/javascript”>

tweetmeme_source = ‘tweetmeme’;

</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script&gt;

The example above would retweet in the format of “RT @tweetmeme <title> <link>”.

Changing the URL Shortener used

We have also added the ability to use a URL shortener of your choice instead of our default one. If you would like to do this then you need to include the “tweetmeme_service” parameter as shown below:

<script type=”text/javascript”>

tweetmeme_service = ‘bit.ly’;

</script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js”></script&gt;

Note: tweetmeme_service should be set to the name of the service you want to use. A list of services available and more information is on our URL Shortener page.

I have a few questions. FYI I’m decent at coding, but I’ve spent more time making games in java than making plugins for wordpress.

I heard a few people talking about how you can change the way the plugin works while still being able to properly update it.

How would one do this?

I also have a few feature requests if the above isn’t possible because I don’t feel like changing the core code every time it’s updated otherwise I probably won’t update:

1. Ability to change the name from ‘Album’ to anything you want and same with ‘My pictures’

2. NVM this one can do it on my own

@tomstage you are just going into a wrong direction…

1. You need to learn requirements to run WordPress.

2. Linux is just another OS, just like Windows or Mac.

3. Ask your web.config questions to your server provider, buddypress forum is not a place for questions regarding windows servers.

And most importantly, read and follow the instructions here.

@foxly

Thanks for your reply. And I apologize for my ambiguity. My question was more to satisfy my own curiosity than to anticipate any user demands.

Giving my users the ability to switch between templates is not terribly important to me at this time. And I would tend to agree with keeping layouts more on the uniform side… I can just see my inbox flooding with “how do I fix this” type of questions.

On the other hand, being a creative fellow myself – who really likes to fiddle with things, sometimes to the point of breaking them – I imagine many users would appreciate having the option to switch their album layout between 2 or 3 styles. (Of course, the lack of uniformity here could conceivably be cause for confusion among users.)

We are building communities. I believe our focus thus needs to be on what our community desires as a whole, rather than on the caprices of individuals. But who am I to impose my own beliefs upon others? Ultimately, if a choice can be made, it should be by the user.

My conclusion: keep it as admin-only for now – to get the next release out on schedule . But let’s have some discussion about whether or not the option could – or should – be added to a future release.

What say you gang?

It sounds like @Symm2112’s advise just solves everything.

@tomstage If you need additional response from the community, follow the questions rules you can find on the top page (or home) of forum, answer to each questions, so we know what exactly you have on your server.

@muratk / Mike: Could you please post your questions on the plugin site’s support section, so other users with similar questions can benefit from the answers: http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/wp-fb-autoconnect

(Soon I’m gonna stop checking this thread)

Its a little offtopic but the subscription at Brajesh Singh site (buddydev) really woth every cent/penny

You can find support to many questions about buddypress integration and code snippets. Brajesh Singh is really a nice person.

I’m/was a subscriber on several developer communitys, for instance incsub with wpmudev I consider the price is really really high for the kind of quality of plugins/templates. both are allways full of bugs, I feel like a paid beta tester there and if you read the foruns every time you make a question, wpmudev staff simple point to wp/bp codex. Even on premium foruns.

Another example is gavaity forms plugin, I ask a question about a bug on the plugin at more than 24h and dont receive a single “we are looking on that”.

So my main point here is $30 for 90 days subscription is nothing with the quality provided.

>>What are Buddypress filters? Should I enable them?

If you’re using BuddyPress, you don’t want to disable the BuddyPress filters. Debug options are just for development and 99.99% of the time you shouldn’t need to touch them.

>>What are these actions and filters? I see nothing about them in the settings area?

I’ve spent a great deal of time documenting everything extensively on the plugin homepage, often with examples. It already answers very many of the questions you’ve asked on here (including this one). Please make sure you’ve read it.

Peter: PS, most of what you’re doing will be irrelevant when I release a version that works with BP out-of-the-box, so u dont really need to spend the time hacking it Also, most of the questions ur asking (i.e. what if u want to require an email?) are all clearly documented on the plugin homepage.
