BuddyPress.org

i see i see….

“The WordPress plugin we wrote (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-video-pack/) is compatible with WPMU (you can place it in the plugins directory and activate), So I guess that for an experienced developer this should be an easy task.”

this is correct…. not too difficult to move the interface to wherever…. as long as to include/loop the right core files…

will this modified plugin actual integrate with BP? or just get moved to profile?

by actually integrate, I mean for example:

– pics can only be viewed if your their friend

(just like you can only write to wire of friends)

– tags, titles and descriptions of videos/pics are searchable from the /members page

– gallery adds ability to “view random video” just like “view random member”

etc

if not, I fear this modified plugin will get replaced by whatever Andy and the Gurus come up with for RC2….

depending on the outcome, I’ll cover at least half… maybe the full $200 since your dealing with them… but I’d need to see/test it first on my install

any timeframe?

If you’re not having any issues and are not actively developing new plugins for either WPMU or BP, then I’d say wait for the official release of both WPMU 2.7.1 and BP.

I think one of the reasons there is a separate Member’s theme folder/CSS is because it is such a unique thing (ie. it’s not typical WordPress), whereas the blogs and site itself can use any old theme (with some exceptions).

The only thing that you really have to pay attention to is how you display the three columns that the member’s section is displayed in by default. By simply editing those widths, how they “float”, and other basic CSS attributes, you can easily change how they fit within the page and you can easily match your blog theme.

Hope that helps…

Is there a way to edit the relevant templates (and .css) right from the dashboard, as there is within the single user WordPress?

Hi all.

I just installed the bbpress forums and integrated to my wordpress mu 2.71.beta site. I a looking for help as to how to place the buddy-press theme to the forum? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Wonderfull!

Donncha just fixed it in https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1748

Hi all,

as Donncha released WPMU 2.7.1 beta2 and default_role was still not working, i have opened ticket for it on WPMU trac.

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/957

Let’s hope it’ll be solved soon and permanently

Sounds great.

I’m still playing around, and looking for the most appropriate hosting company to sign up with to host my WPmu and Buddypress sites, but if a BuddyPress for WordPress is out, that will solve much of my curreny problems with hosting companies

My wish is that site wide activation could magically turn normal per blog plugins into mu global ones.

I.E. one set of settings that encompass all installs.

As an example of how to hook into the existing WordPress functions, make a file called something like “new-blog-defaults.php” and put it in your WPMU directory. (You can name this whatever you’d like.)

Inside that file, put…

function nbd_widgets()  {

// You need to know the names of the sidebar(s) and widget(s) you want to add.

// This example inserts Categories and Tag Cloud widgets into the "blog-sidebar" Sidebar



add_option( 'widget_categories',

array( 'title' => 'My Categories' ));

add_option("sidebars_widgets",

array("blog-sidebar" => array("categories", "tag_cloud")));

}

add_action('populate_options', 'nbd_widgets');

The last line is where this function actually gets called. It automatically hooks itself into the existing “populate_options” function that WordPress calls when a blog is created. You can use the “wpmu_new_blog” function to perform other similar actions.

Before I updated my BP install last week, I noticed some similar odd search behavior. I, too, was running r1324 before I updated to the then latest trunk. After updating, the issue has gone away. I have not looked in trac to see if there was a specific bug that fixed this or if it was something else I did

However, if you have not yet read this article, you may find it interesting.

I think WordPress requires PHP4. This function needing PHP5 to work as-is is probably considered a BP “bug”? Anyone else comment?

andrea_r seems to be on this one djpaul. https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=12086

Well, you’ve got the *get* the javascript onto the page. Either you hack a core file which will cause you frustration when you have to upgrade WordPress to a future version, or use a plugin to include it.

Gpo1: Yes, that’s the reason for waiting on MU 2.7.1.

Plugins installed in the plugins directory rather than mu-plugins can be activated and deactivated on all blogs with one click. Did you do that for BP and its plugins?

Nobody in their right minds is going to touch this post andrepan. Try going to wordpress or wpmu’s forums and searching for ‘timezone’, ‘gmt’. You’ll see the insanity. We’ve got server time, blog time for each blog and the user’s time. Did I mention daylight savings time?
