Topic: remove/modify copyright text
Hello
can I remove or modify the copyright text in the footer:
…is proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress
I would like to have like here without proudly its otherwise to long
Now I have a suggesstion for Andy and the team, possibly off the wall and out the box…
Buddypress and WordPress are designed for different user contexts…
Why doesnt you look into have a special fork of WPMU tailored for BP developed. This version can include BP in its core and also have new look and feel backend, as well as front end widgets that allow most of the sites user interaction to take place from the front end
There can still be a backend for users which will allow them to customize their space on the site unlike facebook where you are stuck with the ugly vanilla theme all the time. The user backend will only be for really critical and tech savvy tasks and most users could get away with never using it if they don’t want to because of having all the user infterface components like creating pages and posts etc in the front end or in the users “admin bar” ala facebook.
The reason why I am suggesting this is because people tend to be happy with what they are familiar with. WordPress and WPMU are blogging tools and aren’t really aimed at internet noobs. Thats fine because if you want to setup a blog you are most likely more than just a casual or internet noob and you will have no problem finding your way around the WordPress backend. On the other hand for a lot of people it seems to technical and involved and they would prefer the simpler interaface of facebook that they are used to.
I have tried to get some people at a student society at my university to use their own blog and domain using a combo of Joomla and WordPress for the blogging component but they lost interest and instead created a group on facebook which everyone flocks around.
To summarise, since buddypress is aimed at a different kind of user than WordPress ie its for social networking, the casual social user might be put off or struggle with the complexities of WP, so instead of merely inheriting the way in which WP works, what about adapting a WP to make it more suitable for social networking and make it a more attractive platform for micro communities.
Good idea, stupid idea? what do you guys think
Buddypress 1.2 and WordPressMU 2.9.1
In my Buddypress child theme, I want to have different CSS for different sections like the Member profile. Perhaps I want to have a slightly different head graphic as well.
I have copied the header.php to my child theme and have attempted to use if statements along with Template tags but to no effect.
<?php if( bp_is_front_page() ){ ?>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='wp-content/themes/coffeehouse/large-masthead.css' type='text/css' media='screen' />
<?php } ?>
<?php if(bp_is_group_members() ){ ?>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='../wp-content/themes/coffeehouse/large-masthead.css' type='text/css' media='screen' />
<?php } ?>
I just updated Buddypress and found my theme Arclite was not working properly on the home page. Admin bar was missing and a lot of the widgets weren’t working.
I use WordPress MU – up-to-date – and clicked on a members blog whom uses the theme and all looks good there – layout, widgets, etc and the admin bar is there.
Switched to default budypress theme and still no admin bar.
Don’t know exactly what I did wrong?
Running BP1.2 with single-user WP 2.9.1. Not sure if this is a WP or BP issue, or both, but I have checked for plugins related to both and can’t find a satisfactory solution to this issue.
1) I would like WordPress to log the IP Address and Country of origin of all new user registrations and have that listed in the WP admin / users area. Then the ability to search or categorize Users in the WP user admin area. The reason this becomes an issue for BP is that BP means I’ll be running a Forum with tens of thousands of users. In the past, I’ve had thousands of bogus signups to forums by would-be spammers, and while I’m working on this new installation to block such registrations in the first place, if they happen I’d like to be able to search or categorize users to make it easier to mass-delete spammers.
2) Is it possible to show in the WP admin the number of BP forum posts or replies for each user in addition to the number of blog posts (which are only applicable to a few users in my case)?
Usage example: Many spammer IP addresses resolve to the country of Afghanistan. If I could sort the users by Country and by number of Posts, I could quickly delete all users whose registration says “Afghanistan” and who have only posted zero or one time.
Anybody know of a plugin or plugins that will accomplish the above? Thanks.
Running BP 1.2 with WP 2.9.1 single-user. Ok, I’m working to clarify this family of issues related to Forum / Activity stream integration:
1) When deleting posts in the Activity stream, they are not deleted in the Forum. Any way to accomplish this? It used not to work in the other direction either (deleting Topics/replies in Forum was not deleting them in the Activity stream), but this has finally been fixed with the final release of BP1.2 (see http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/forum-topic-delete-doesnt-delete-activity-feeds ).
2a) If a user posts a reply to a Topic in the Forum, it shows up in the Activity stream, as it should. But if a user replies to a forum Topic or Topic Reply in the Activity Stream, it doesn’t show up in the Forum.
2b) You can “reply to a reply” to a Topic in the Activity stream, which is then threaded, but you cannot “reply to a reply” to a Topic in the Forum itself.
2c) For any replies to a post in the Activity Stream, an email notifier is sent to the creator of the post being replied to, but for replies to the same post in the Forum, an email notifier is not sent.
3) You can “Favorite” a post in the Activity stream, but you can’t “Favorite” that same post in the Forum. (See my trac ticket — http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1883)
There seems to be a split personality going on between the Forum and the Activity stream, and I’m looking for ways to close the gap. This, I believe, is precisely the function of Buddypress, to merge WordPress with bbPress and add new social networking features.
Basically, it’s a one-way street from the Forum to the Activity stream, and I’m looking for a way of making it a two-way street, so that anything you do in the Activity stream shows up at the source in the Forum. Adding the Activity stream feature of threaded replies to the Forum would be great as well — if you can have these threaded conversations in the Activity stream, why not in the Forum too, where it should be more full-featured?
BuddyPress child themes will now work with the WordPress theme repository. Please make sure your theme has a “buddypress” tag before uploading.
You can upload your theme here (log in to WordPress.org first):
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/upload/
By adding your theme to the repository, users can automatically install your theme from their dashboard. You can also provide automatic updates by uploading a new version to the repository. You’ll also get stats, and everyone loves stats.
