BuddyPress.org

The same way you stop WordPress MU from requiring email activation.

@anointed, if you wanted to just make it so you’re grabbing the user list of a blog instead of the members list, that’s very possible to do. But you will still probably want your root blog to be the center of all members.

Like andrea_r said, I imagine that MU is in a feature freeze at the moment until 3.0. All the devs are going to have their hands full rearranging the code to make it fit into normal WordPress so it’s a smooth transition for everyone.

Where the actual work happens, in trac. Yesterday, merge work started, so I’m not sure where to put a suggestion like this right now.

If you stick it in https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/report I know it will get read by Donncha.

Also, user management is changing, so you may want to play around with wpmu 2.9.1 rc-1 a bit before filing any tickets.

Thanks. That clears things up. The only other problem I’ve encountered is after I deactivate the BuddyPress plugin and re-activate it, I’ll get the follow db errors:

WordPress database error: [Duplicate key name ‘useritem’]

ALTER TABLE wp_bp_notifications ADD KEY useritem (user_id, is_new)

WordPress database error: [Table ‘wp_bp_activity’ already exists]

RENAME TABLE wp_bp_activity_user_activity_cached TO wp_bp_activity

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key 1]

INSERT INTO wp_bp_xprofile_groups VALUES ( 1, ‘Base’, ”, 0 );

WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1’ for key 1]

INSERT INTO wp_bp_xprofile_fields ( id, group_id, parent_id, type, name, is_required, can_delete ) VALUES ( 1, 1, 0, ‘textbox’, ‘Name’, 1, 0 );

It does indeed work with WordPress 2.9, however none of my registered members are showing up. The only account that shows up in the member listing is the admin account.

The default members page filter is “active members”. If they haven’t logged in and been active since BuddyPress was activated they will not show. If you change the filter to “Alphabetical” or something else, they will show.

That’s how BP works. There is almost no security, privacy and member management built into BP. The focus is on expanding features.

There are various efforts underway to bolt better management on via plugins etc. This plugin for example offers new member moderation.

Jeff Sayre is working on a privacy component, but apparently has decided he needs to be compensated – and rightly so!

Is the BuddyPress theme required for BuddyPress to work on an existing WordPress install… or can we pick and choose pieces from the official BP theme and incorporate as needed? I’m assuming the latter, but wanted to be sure before I start to hack away.

bp-custom.php loads up before any BuddyPress components do, and functions.php loads after all plugins and WordPress core code does.

So it isn’t a matter of “if,” it’s a matter of “why.”

Basically…

Use bp-custom.php to override core BuddyPress settings like slugs or constant values, or to load specific code BEFORE BuddyPress loads for whatever reason you might need to.

Use functions.php if you need to add actions or filters to BuddyPress things. It’s good practice to make sure that actions and filters exist before attaching code to them. If you add a filter to a function that doesn’t exist yet, or you add it before/after the code is loaded/executed, then you’re ahead/behind the action/filter curve, so to speak.

Different files for different purposes.

I could see why that wouldnt work, as buddypress is build on wpmu and every blog you make is basicly a seperate wordpress install. So for example the users that were automatically subscribers on your wpmu blog aren’t automatically subscribers on all the blogs on your wpmu install.

WordPress itself has problems with relocating it’s position, a lot of changes need to be made and since buddypress is build on wordpress, buddypress has these problems now as well.

I don’t really get why your placing buddypress in a sub blog, you can easily change the buddypress theme to your liking if that’s the problem.

Just need to add the core wordpress function to list the pages into the buddypress theme and it should show your newly added pages to the main menu.

Thanks Simon for Sharing !

Are you referring to the following BP Events plugin?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-events/

I’d like to use the features in the widgets, specifically site wide activity in 1.1.3, but want more control over the layout than the widget system provides – see this obnoxious codex page that says you must use unordered lists or else…

Where/how can I find the code that widgets add to the pages? I’d like to just add that code to my template pages, perhaps via template tags.

Apologies if this is thread hijacking, but I suspect finding the original code would also solve thecorkboard’s problem and clear up confusion over versions.

@ Jivany

You’ve covered this on trac: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1536

So this is a question of privacy settings for the blog.

I hope this isn’t considered hijacking, but do you, DJPaul or anyone know how to make _old_ posts that were counted as private (as per above) appear in the stream?

I can make new posts appear in the stream now but all the old blog posts (https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2) are still hidden. Some value in the db?
