BuddyPress.org

This is only if you install the BuddyPress home theme. It should not do this if you just use your existing theme.

How can I hook bp_show_blog_signup_form() or bp_create_blog_link or other related function?

I want it not to show registration blog content. I mean when user “has limited his numbers of blogs per member” there is no link to create a blog.

Or even better: There is a link, but without blog signup form, but with the message: ‘Limit nine blogs per member. If you would like another, please contact an Admin for assistance.’

I do not want to hard coding in member-themes’ files. I’m creating a plugin with Admin page to configure this.

Free licensing is kind of crucial I’d say. Why not use GPL, like BuddyPress does?

Wow that’s neat.

Any demos? I couldn’t find one after 2 seconds so I got lazy and figured I’d ask.

Hi all,

Are these instructions still applicable to the latest SVN version of BP.

I downloaded the latest trunk last night and replaced the mu-plugins with the SVN one. I left the themes as they were as the theme works with RC1 components.

However, after replacing all the components with the latest SVN copies i got a blank screen.

A PHP error probably, i shall turn on logging when i get back and have another look.

Just wondered if there was a new way to upgrade now?

Your posts should still be at http://mydomain.com/whatever/post. The url http://mydomain.com uses the home.php template in bp. That overrides index.php that is used if home.php doesn’t exist. If home.php exists in the theme directory the only way to run index.php is to trap something like ‘blog’ and then load that index.php template.

This is normal behavior for any wp theme that uses home.php. bp doesn’t change the permalink structure of your blog.

You can not use home.php if you like by deleting it from the theme directory or renaming it to something like home.php.off

That will get you index.php being used.

I’d like to see:

1. better taxonomy with separate vocabularies (think Drupal). For example if there’s a profile field called “home town” and the user enters New York, NY, that would link to a list of other people who’s hometown is New York, NY (instead of doing a sitewide search for everything containing “New York”)

2. some type of user role system with different permissions for each role, and different profile fields per role (business, typical user, whatever)

3. ability to comment on Activity posts (like Facebook, though I assume this is already in the pipeline)

4. total integration with Picassa and Flickr ( check out what this guy’s been doing with the 6.x version of this: http://drupal.org/project/picasa . It’s the best sort of photo management for a CMS I’ve come across )

@ sgrunt..good attempt keep up the work.

@nicolagreco, Regarding cbook theme,any update on mine or email reply ?

The only thing that’s finished now is some of the blogs. Would like to customize the theme a little and I still need to figure out how to get the forums working

Why have you written to replace the member-themes directory??

You can change the name of facebuddy theme directory

is that under gpl? <– if yes i’ll add styles for the bpdev-autosuggest plugin

I want this done,Kaltura to port over to BP : https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-video-pack/

Would be a good answer to server loads because users can upload videos to 3rd party host and not yours that would save you server performance and storage issues!

Yes you will have to edit the theme. Look at index.php in one of the standard wp themes, copy the main loop out and put it into the bp home theme’s. Home.php

I’m not trolling Farms.

I just wanted to know if I’m gonna be able to actually use any of the ideas you get from this thread. If they surface in an Insub product and you use the same restrictive licensing that is attached to the TOS plugin, I won’t be able to.

Licensing is important to me. I got my answer. You can have your thread back.

Farms, I was serious when I invited you guys to do some heavy lifting. From my earlier post in this thread:

Developing new member themes seem to be the challenging area that needs attention. Since the gurus are asking, I suggest you folks do some heavy lifting in that area.

What I meant by ‘heavy lifting’ was to develop themes and plugins that include new and exiting concepts. Things that can be used as models. Products that can be copied and extended to improve the community we all operate in. Themes and plugins that other developers find valuable.

‘Value’ to me is code I can learn from, use, include, modify and reuse without restriction. I know that Incsub’s products, services and success are based on code that was freely shared without restriction.

Have you forgotten where you came from?

By far my number one plugin would be extending the multi-db to work with buddypress adding in replication as stated earlier. I believe Nicola may be working on this already though.

I would love a blog theme that integrates with the buddypress them so that way blogs don’t feel like they are separated entities.

Thanks,

Sebastian

Farms, that’s not what a copyright is. From wikipedia:

Copyright is a form of intellectual property which gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its publication, distribution and adaptation; after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. […]

This means I can’t modify, adapt or distribute something that simply has Copyright stamped on it. That’s what a copyright is for. To restrict the rights of others.

I guess I’m asking why it doesn’t have a GPL, or something similar, license?

I downloaded the TOS plugin and the license just says: “Copyright © 2009 Incsub. All rights reserved.”

Exactly what does that mean?

Can you withdraw my rights to use the plugin if I piss you off? The plugin might be freely available but that doesn’t mean I have any rights at all. Can I modify this for my personal use? Can I distribute a fixed version to my friends?

A license that says “This is mine” isn’t a license.
