    they provide you with an RSS feed for your posts and comments on any syndicated content (my feed)… just like wordpress ~ so if you want to pull a feed, just use any common feed parsing plugin to pull your RSS into your Buddypress install. I like to use feedwordpress. Or if you don’t want to duplicate the feed as posts, you can use the built in SimplePie functions in wordpress to display your RSS feed as a widget, like the widget here that pulls in rss from another site.

    I ‘ve started using this great share service built using GPL and i want it adapted for BP.

    FYI: Amplify.com is built on top of WordPress MU, a project from Automattic which is licensed under the GPL.

    With that in mind, we wanted to say a few quick words about our approach regarding open source software and our use of open source projects, as well as our intentions for releasing our own products under the GPL.

    At Amplify, we’re committed to openness and the GPL both in letter and in spirit. Any software which is built on top of GPL licensed code will be released under the same license. Additionally, it is our intention to release any additional WordPress plugins, themes and other software we’ve developed to power Amplify under the GPL as well, with some exceptions relating to security of our particular installation and implementation of our internal Clipping API.

    Hi ALL,

    i’ve installed buddypress 1.2.1 on wordpress 3.0 alfa using a secondary blog.

    What happen is that an user (i.e. with test username) is logged in and it works properly.

    On logout, from both admin bar and widget, what happen is that user test is logged out, but admin will keep logged in and cant be logged out.

    Any hints?

    @stwc Lunatic ;-)

    My favourite url shortener name so far I think is ‘Beam.to’

    We push blog posts out to twitter via Hootsuite, which has its own url shortening ow.ly (see what they did there?) So if you’re looking to do that kind of thing, a separate twitter / sn client might be the way to go.

    If you want to push members blog posts out to twitter, then any compatible WP plugin should work, you would just need to install a sitewide WordPress > Twitter feed plugin so that members can use it on their own blogs too.

    We use shortening services because it’s the nature of the beast but apart from the worries @stwc mentions above, as a few people point out, the danger of course is that if that url shortening service should cease to be so will all your links! Just a thought…

    Hi everyone,

    I have a problem with my Demo Data Plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/demo-data-creator/) in Buddypress 1.2. The functions that add dummy wire messages no longer work, and looking for the string “wire” in the BP source gives very few results. I guess it’s all rolled into the activity system now, yes?

    So my question is: can I use thebp_activity_add function to add wire messages to groups and profiles? The defaults for this function are:

    $defaults = array(
    'id' => false, // Pass an existing activity ID to update an existing entry.

    'action' => '', // The activity action - e.g. "Jon Doe posted an update"
    'content' => '', // Optional: The content of the activity item e.g. "BuddyPress is awesome guys!"

    'component' => false, // The name/ID of the component e.g. groups, profile, mycomponent
    'type' => false, // The activity type e.g. activity_update, profile_updated
    'primary_link' => '', // Optional: The primary URL for this item in RSS feeds (defaults to activity permalink)

    'user_id' => $bp->loggedin_user->id, // Optional: The user to record the activity for, can be false if this activity is not for a user.
    'item_id' => false, // Optional: The ID of the specific item being recorded, e.g. a blog_id
    'secondary_item_id' => false, // Optional: A second ID used to further filter e.g. a comment_id
    'recorded_time' => gmdate( "Y-m-d H:i:s" ), // The GMT time that this activity was recorded
    'hide_sitewide' => false // Should this be hidden on the sitewide activity stream?
    );

    So to add a dummy wire message to a group I’d use:

    bp_activity_add( array(
    "action"=>"Posted a Wire message",
    "content"=>"Lorem ipsum...",
    "type"=>"groups",
    "item_id"=>[ the group ID ]
    );

    If anyone uses this plugin and can help with any other bugs I’d be very grateful.

    Actually thanks for the post. This is a something I have been doing (trying to do) since wpmu 1.0. I use WPMU / Buddypress with young (elementary school students 6-12 years old) so simplicity is a must. The New Blog Options plugin (if it works as it says it will) would make make perfect customization possible. Here are a list of WPMU plugins that I use or have used that might help. I am in the process of retrying everything to achieve exactly what you are trying to do. Let everyone on the forums know how your testing goes. Hope this isn’t too long. I added links to save time since there are sometimes plugins with similar names).

    New Blog Options – this one is fairly new (still beta), and I haven’t tried it extensively yet, but it will allow you to clone on blog setup with it’s plugin options etc. to all new blogs.

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/default-blog-options/

    Limit Blogs per User – if you don’t want them making more than one blog (set to 2, one is the main buddypress blog and 2 is their own blog)

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-blogs-per-user/

    WPMU New Blog Defaults – this will allow you to restrict menus, change default links, etc under the Options in the Site Admin menu

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/

    Members – this one takes over where the old Role-manager plugin left off. Haven’t had time to check it out yet, but if you could use this with New Blog Options it would allow you to very finally tune what your users could do and see.

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

    Adminimize – again I haven’t played with this for a while, but if you could use it with New Blog Options, then you could simplify the look of the menus for your users too.

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/

    Default User Role – will set the user role when a new blog is created

    https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-default-user-role/

    Plugin Manager – does what it says, allows you to manage which plugins users can set, which ones are automatically turned on, and which regular users cannot see

    http://wpmudev.org/project/wpmu-plugin-manager

    download link is: http://wpmudev.org/download/946613807_mp-plugin-manager.php

    Of course with young people you might want to consider a privacy plugin like:

    More Privacy Options – this doesn’t work with the feed on Buddypress, but if you search the forums it can be made to work or you can use the following plugin for feed privacy (Buddypress privacy should be coming soon)

    http://wpmudev.org/project/More-Privacy-Options/

    download link is: http://wpmudev.org/download/999830698_ds_private_blog.php

    BP MPO Activity Filter – This plugin, BP MPO Activity Filter, does just what the name suggests: it filters BuddyPress activity feeds. Used with More Privacy Options.

    Check out /plugins/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-templatetags.php

    Specifically:

    bp_get_member_permalink()

    [EDIT]

    You’re looking for user_login for the “membername” part.

    Look at:

    Hello! I’d like to add links in my wordpress page navigation using the “Page Links To” plugin to point to the corresponding links that are in the adminbar like http://siteurl.com/members/membername/

    or http://siteurl.com/members/membername/profile/

    My question is where in the BP code can I find what defines “membername” in the urls above and create a dynamic link based on the membername variable? I think that makes sense…lol… please let me know if you need any more info to answer & many thanks in advance for any help!

    You probably need to enable registration on your WordPress site.

    Take a look at the BP Template Pack plugin.

    This plugin will try to make your WP theme compatible with BP.

    —

    You can also build a child theme from the default BuddyPress theme.

    Read how to do it here:

    Ha! Didn’t know you could add a TOS as a CC license!

    Cool of WordPress.com to offer one! Will take a look at this later.

    @motionsw – yes you can use it as a guide for your own.

    Here’s the part that says you can:

    …you’re more than welcome to steal [this TOS] and repurpose it for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us with ones to you, and if you want we’d appreciate a link to WordPress.com somewhere on your site. We spent a lot of money and time on the below, and other people shouldn’t need to do the same.

    I just installed buddypress onto a wordpress site. I couldn’t get the custom template thing to work (would be nice if more documentation on how to do this stuff) so I am just sticking with the basic theme until i get it going. How do people sign up. If you look on my site churchplantcity.com there is no place for sign up, only logging in.

    Now I can figure out the logistics and edit/create regular wordpress themes just fine, but when it comes to buddypress, I’m LOST. Is there an easy way to at least understand how to go about making my own theme/merging two? Sorry if I’m not specific, let me know what you need to know.

    #66432

    You can use the regular <img> HTML code to show images.

    <img src="YOUR IMAGE URL" />

    There are also some third-party plugins to attach images:

    *BP-Gallery beta (paid plugin) – http://buddydev.com

    – adds a gallery component to BP; you can attach images to groups (and profiles) this way as well

    * Forum Attachments for BuddyPress -https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-attachments-for-buddypress/

    – allows you to attach images to forum posts only in BP

    – needs some testing in BP 1.2 though; i’ve only tested this a bit in BP 1.2, needs a little work

    r-a-y’s right, but I can’t help but feel that what you’re proposing could potentially be trouble with regards to XSS and people trying to break your site.

    Another approach, with different benefits and drawbacks, would be to utilise either WordPress 2.9’s custom post types or just upload a number of background images using the Media Uploader; you’d still use the xProfile field to get users to select which image they want, but you write some code that switches the image selected with the actual image URL from the media library.

    BuddyPress works with standard WP, so yes you can use it with your site!

    You’ll probably need to use the BuddyPress Template pack plugin if you want to use your existing theme with it.

    Like DJPaul said, you should test BP locally to see if it fits your site’s needs.

    There’s also another option for social networking on WP called Mingle. Some consider it easier to setup with an existing WP theme.

    Hope that helps!

    BuddyPress isn’t all-or-nothing; it’s built to let people integrate it into existing themes and websites. I’d set up a test copy of your blog somewhere (or on your local PC) so you can install BuddyPress and give it a test to see how it fits in with your existing content/theme.

    I have a pretty popular, standard, blog at http://www.allaboutaddiction.com

    I’d love to incorporate a social-networking aspect to the site, but also want to continue working with content the way I have been. Does this sound like something that I should install buddypress on my site for or should I direct users from my site to an alternate “buddypress only” version of my site?

    With the default theme shipped with Buddypress 1.2 I noticed that comments on BP pages (Activity Stream, Members pages, Group Pages, etc) are pretty powerful and (obviously) support all the cool features in Buddypress, whereas comment con WordPress pages and posts are plain UGLY :)

    I’d like to find a solution for this, since I plan on usign WP/BP full time and I want comments to be consistent between all the pages in the site. So there are two routes:

    1) Work on WP’s comments.php and try to hook all the features in BP

    2) Plug BP’s commenting system directly inside WP, except I can’t seem to find such thing…

    Could you suggest me a direction or where to look at? At this point I think it would be much simpler to follow 1), but at some point BP should be bold enough and substitute WP’s commenting system with its much better own commenting system.

    So, before putting this on trac and see how I can help, I’d like to hear from you!

    Thanks

    Buddypress pages are not listed in the admin. To edit those you need to make a child theme.

    https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

    If you want to make additional pages you can via admin like you do any normal WP blog. Admin >> Pages >> add new

    If you know how to make wordpress page templates you can create anything you want and then in admin >> settings >> reading choose your custom page as the static front page.
