“and uploaded to godaddy and then unzipped there which create a buddypress folder in the html directory of godaddy.”

The plugin folder needs to go in wp-content/plugins/.

have you tried installing it from the admin area of WordPress? Go to the plugin menu and pick Install New.

I got posthaste working but i want something abit more advanced with the same edit box the backend offers so people can upload photos etc!

ive got BP 1.2 and wordpress 2.9

no issues with installation of posthaste

Till the modification theme is online at wordpress theme directory, you are able to download the “4 to 5 widget column child theme” here:

http://kartobuddy.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/child-theme-with-a-single-4-to-5-columns-widget-page-for-buddypress-1-2/

@Peterverkooijen, you’re probably better of starting with the BP Backwards Compat plugin for a 1.1.3 theme.

Would this plugin also help in upgrading a custom Buddypress 1.1.3 theme to 1.2?

I’ll try that later this week…

Yup… it’s not a widget. Two options which would involved making a child theme. Don’t worry… it’s really simple: https://codex.buddypress.org/how-to-guides/building-a-buddypress-child-theme/

1. Make a child theme with a custom sidebar.php file and comment out or delete the login block of code.
2. Make a child theme and add this line to your “style.css” file

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

I suppose you could also try adding the code below to a “custom.php” file and putting it in your plugins directory (no child theme required)… but now I’m just getting silly. LOL (I haven’t tested this BTW).

<?php



add_action('wp_head', 'hide_login');

function hide_login() {

echo <<<CSS



<style type='text/css'>

#login-text, sidebar-login-form {display: none;}

</style>



CSS;

}



?>

or even this! (very silly)

<?php



add_action('bp_before_sidebar_login_form', 'open_login_comment');

function open_login_comment() { echo '<!--' }



add_action('bp_after_sidebar_login_form', 'close_login_comment');

function close_login_comment() { echo '-->' }



?>

So how to you intend for people to login? Just via the regular WordPress login?

I’m not sure… but the plugin was released by Andy who is the main core developer for BuddyPress. I didn’t even know about the plugin until I responded to your post. I knew there was a thread on here about your question about a week ago… so I just did a search.

@Erich73-

Haha! I appreciate the thought. I’m sure Automattic is able to afford to buy many things! I have no issue with Automattic. I do not expect them to pay me.

@everyone

My code, like any other GPLed theme or plugin is freely available for all to use. So, if Automattic wants to merge my code into BP core, I would be honored and not expect anything else in return.

I hope that my posts (in this thread and on my website concerning this issue) do not come across as me being bitter. That is not the case.

I fully support and believe in the Open Source model as expressed via the GPL. I also believe in giving back to those Open Source projects from which you have benefited. I of course have done that with the hundreds of hours I’ve donated as a moderator on these forums.

The referenced-to post above was just my attempt to try to figure out a possible way where I could actually earn part of my living by creating great-quality plugins for the WordPress / BuddyPress community. I think talented programmers should be able to do that without having to resort to consulting. I have no interest in providing consulting services. I owned a consulting company for 7 years. It was great, but I have no need or intention of going back down that road.

So, enough said with all of this stuff about me and my needs. I appreciate people’s concerns and suggestions.

Let’s put this thread back on track. Please try to limit your comments to the future of privacy in BuddyPress and not about me!

@idotter-

Eventually my plugin will encompass group and blog privacy as well.

@paulhastings0-

The graph represents about $125 of funding–which is close to my original goal!

I never expected to achieve the funding goal. That post was for two reasons: an experiment to see if raising development funds was even feasible; an awareness campaign to get people talking and thinking about plugin developers and the vast amount of time that they put into WordPress/Buddyress projects so that the community can benefit from their work.

The goal is an honest assessment of the amount of time (which is then converted to dollars) that I will be required to put into the project in 2010–coding and supporting the plugin. It also covers some of my time already spent on coding the plugin.

As I state in that post, I’m already committed to bringing my privacy plugin up to date to work with BP version 1.2. When that will happen is the question. I am working on it, but not full time as I have another project that has top priority (my startup). Just like anyone else, I must focus most of my efforts on activities that will help me actually earn a living.

Once my BP 1.2-compatible privacy plugin is released, I’m not sure where it will go from there. We will see. Of course, if my privacy plugin gets merged into core (in some form or another), that would be great!

Burt Adsit, a past forum moderator and talented developer, created a plugin that did exactly what you are suggesting. It is woefully out of date. I believe it only works with BP V 1.0. But, some other talented developer could possibly use Burt’s code, adapting it to the current version of BP.

@Xevo, I’m pretty sure Erich73 was not asking for a poll plugin. I think his comment was about the relative pointlessness of open polls for new features, when there are still many core issues that should be fixed first.

I remember we’ve gone through this over six months ago, also with a poll and promises that certain features, like privacy, would become core in version 1.2 and 1.3. Very little of that has materialized.

… I can see that users of wordpress/buddypress wanting the wp-admin to be only for admins as the name suggests and keep the users off the creepy admin panel.

Absolutely. That’s why I’m trying to sort out front-end posting with P2 and/or Posthaste. Raoulduke is working on it as well.
