So, your question is really a WPMU question. You should try asking the question on a WPMU support site as it will likely get more response than here.

As for the blog thing – you currently have users with no blogs. If you create a new blog for every user then what default content are you going to put on that blog for the users who have no interest in the blog? Are you going to leave the default Welcome to WP post with the comment from Mr WordPress? As a user, I’d be annoyed by that if there wasn’t some way for me to delete the blog. Oh, yeah, there is a way – don’t automatically create a blog for a user that’s not interested.

But anyhoo, I assume you have asked your user base and this is what they all want so do what you need to do.

Works fine for a single install for me…

Re #3 – if that record is deleted, they can sign up again using the exact same info. That record tho, is never displayed anywhere else.

Really, the mass deletion of spammers shoudl be handled on the WordPress end, as ultimately that’s the menu your’re using.

Without going and checking, I *think* you can sort the blogs/users so the spammers are all on one page, select all and delete all in one go.

For more than a screenful, I do it with a SQL command right in the database.

I have ask my question in other topic but they deleted it.

Anyway, is there a way i could use original wordpress signup page instead of security leaked buddypress signup page?

Please anyone know how to force peopel to signup trough original signup form.

BuddyPress works in a WordPress install – so in the /community/folder there has to be a WP install you’re posting from. It is not a stand-alone script.

Look at the HTML source of the page, it says:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.9.2" />

When I go to your main install at the actual root, those menu items on the front of your site are off the root blog.

You have another blog at /community/ as well as BuddyPress. Did you, perchance, install this using SimpleScripts?

No…. if you’re on single WordPress there is only one blog.

When someone updates, that is a blog post, not a “blog”. (misused terminology there)

And yes, you can have a tab that says “blog”. the tabs are just html/css really. they show different Pages created from the backend.

This website (the theme) was designed by Andy Peatling, who works for Automattic – http://automattic.com. This website runs on a platform of WordPress, bbPress and BuddyPress softwares which are led by Automattic but are opensource.

I am going to close this topic as it is off-topic and looks to be commercial.

Can someone give solution that users that wish to sign up dont use buddypress signup page, instead they use regular wordpress signup which is much much safer.

Then all you need to do is install SABRE and spammers are gone. This is urgent request because i dont wish to have spoammers on my sites, same goes for everyone else, i m getting hit by 20 spammers per hour.

BTW nothing mentioned in this topic works!!!!

this are wp/wpmu issues.

I’m with Andy when he says, “Social networking in a box. An easy way to start your own niche social network.”

I remember him essentially saying this when BuddyPress was first added to WordPress and it’s why I came to use BuddyPress myself. Glad to see the vision has stayed the same.

What I do think we need to be careful of is how we define social network. Certainly we can use what’s been learned from Facebook and the like, but the open framework and API should allow for creativity beyond the Facebook definition of social network.

Also, can I put in a vote that this be extensible? Like that GSoC project for the Report/Ignore plugin, the Ratings system should really be content agnostic – whether you put the rating interface on the activity stream, forum post, blog post, or other BP “component” type.

And speaking of that, there is a great “rating” system in MrMaz’s Links plugin. So not sure where all of this is going, but one would think your reputation as a BP user would be a combination of your forum posts, blog posts, and links, right?

Hey Foxly, I looked through those files:

bp-album-templatetags.php

sub-album-templatetags.php

sub-media-templatetags.php

sub-meta-templatetags.php

And the problem is that it seems almost like a redirect or something, the actual image is found in:

/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/album/12/filename.jpg

This function here bp_album_picture_url() for example returns:

/files/album/12/filename.jpg

From what i’ve tested this redirect (I don’t know how it works exactly) causes problems with certain PHP Scripts and I believe it will cause problems with Facebook and Digg Sharing as well.

Oh BTW Right Click + Save doesn’t work on the default BuddyPress Album Template because the hyperlinks hovering over the image itself blocks the users ability to save the image to their computer (unless of course they are a bit more computer savvy)

EDIT:

Actually it looks like a WordPress MU Issue:

see here: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/12397

the blogs.dir directory is set to “nobody users” group so that is what is causing problems with the script, anyone been able to fix that problem yet?

Very nice, this is a great conversation starter.

In one sentence I would describe BuddyPress as: “Social networking in a box. An easy way to start your own niche social network”.

Lots of other social network tools try to define themselves as a do-it-all platforms that can be manipulated in all manner of ways, but then they don’t work so well out of the box or without some extensive configuration. Even though BP is also highly extensible, I’ve always thought the primary focus should be providing something that the non-techies can work with without much time investment. This is pretty much the same philosophy as WordPress.
