Thanks for your themes..Can you adapt this theme as a member theme?

https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2

I’ve already have it installed for a few days, and i must say, that i didnt experience any ‘weird things’

Lance, thanks for doing this!

I prefer option three (3), the self-hosted code snippet library. I agree with your assessment of the benefits of controlling our own snippet repo. Also, I think that we should use pastebin.com since, like WordPress, it is licensed under GPL.

I’ve got a ‘weird’ idea that may apply, though it will probably be very specific to my business model.

For me, one thing I was thinking about was having members perform certain tasks such as 50 blog posts, 100 replies to threads, 20 blog posts that are rated ‘thumbs up’ by at least 20 other members, prior to being able to have a ‘custom theme’ in wordpress.

On the reverse side we could have a warning system, where if a person’s articles are marked ‘thumbs down’ by say 50 diff users that they are then warned about loosing custom themes etc…. encourages members to write ‘good’ posts in their blogs.

Another idea is how many of their posts are ‘featured’ on the main blog where they could then receive other yet to be determined bonuses such as plugins. I don’t know that there is a way of letting the server admin actually choose posts from the blog network to ‘post’ to the ‘main home’ blog. I don’t want to use the site aggrigator, as there will be many blogs and posts such as family pics etc that have no business being ‘featured’ on my main blog.

finally, as I want to encourage my members to blog ‘quality’ stuff as often as possible, some type of achievement system for posting ‘x’ number of posts per week/month would lead to an award such as using a real domain name etc.

I know that the premium site has the ability to charge people to add features, and I do have the plugin for that, though untested so far. I was just thinking of adding an additional way for people that can’t afford to spend money to get their blogs ‘prettied up’ per say.

I’ve really been racking my brain silly for the past few months, trying to figure out how to properly encourage quality submissions on the blogs and to encourage frequent updates. I think your ‘achievements’ system is a great step toward that idea.

Like everyone else here, the last thing I want is a bunch of blogs on my network that are neither maintained or have ‘garbage’ content that has nothing to do with my sites primary focus. I really am trying to get people to blog in specific categories that mean something to the site and the search engines.

hope these ideas are pertinent

The WP Hide Dashboard plugin may help.

I am running the latest wordpress mu 2.7 and lates BP- rc1

What does “lates” mean? Do you mean that you’re running the latest BP version?

If so, do you mean that you obtained BuddyPress from the big, orange Download button? Or, did you upgrade from trunk?

Hy everyone!

I have latest trunks of wordpress mu, buddypress, bp-dev and signup-password plugin from premium.wpmudev.org.

The plugin doesn’t work. I have the password fields on my registration page but it still generates a random password on activation.

How can i make it work?

In wp-login.php, I have found the following line of code (around line 470) ….

I want to redirect the user to their profile page, so I changed it to …

I would highly recommend that you stay away from hacking core WPMU files. You’ll have to make the changes all over again the next time you update WPMU.

This is the way you should do it: https://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1095

How can I change the wp-login page to include my site\’s logo instead of the WordPress logo? Is this possible?

By the way, you may receive faster responses in the future if you ask WPMU questions on the WPMU forums and ask BuddyPress-specific questions on this forum.

Madshark-

It must be the latest branch, not trunk. Use this link http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7

RC-2 will come out as soon as 2.7.1 is released. I’ll release it via the automatic plugin download feature built into WordPress – as well as a zip.

As long as there are no major problems found (none for a while in trac) I’ll update to 1.0, and that will then test the auto-update procedure.

@Gpo1

I’m using http://tantannoodles.com/toolkit/wordpress-s3/

Make sure that bp is installed in a directory called /plugins/buddypress

Make sure that you are using the wpmu svn 2.7 branch http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-mu/branches/2.7 not the wpmu trunk.

For some reason bp is not loading correctly. bp should be installed in the above directory and there should be other subdirs underneath that with all the components. Do you have this file in this path? /plugins/buddypress/bp-groups/bp-groups-templatetags.php

That is one of the files that is not loading.

@John James Jacoby

Thanks John, I’ll wait for the tutorial!

Note – because of a limitation of my hosting provider (for whom I am a reseller) – they don’t allow xml-rpc calls to the same server, I have had to put bbPress on a different server from WordPress & BuddyPress, so if you want a tester to go through the tutorial I am happy to do so.

(I have a few spare domain names kicking around that I can use for this!)
