BuddyPress.org

Very good interview. Nice to throw out questions in the chatroom.

Thanks Andy. I tuned in at the tail end of things when they were putting chairs on tables and sweeping the floor.

I hope people can understand what I say.

i think that you’ve to ask in wordpress-mu forum, not here..

You might want to check this out:

@gpo1 when you type “Users will be able to upload videos or ‘link’ videos from youtube and similar websites” do you mean embed the videos?

Currently I embed videos in my WordPress sites w/ Vodpod. It works with almost any video hosting site but it’s not the best solution. Have yet to test it on buddypress.

I was part of an online community called the ORG that had a very slick solution. All media was entered into one media entry box. Just by adding the URL to the flickr photo or YouTube video the site took care of seeking out the proper embed code and placed it in the photos gallery or video gallery. No idea how “Support and Comfort” did it but it sure was handy.

I thank you all and the Sports Racers, who have been without a home for almost a year, thank you all for BuddyPress. In the not-too-distant future you will find a gleaming new install of BuddyPress+WordPressµ+bbPress at http://bevvy.org

It’s crudely possible by just setting ‘only user accounts can be created’ in site > options. Then everyone is a ‘subscriber’. mu doesn’t have a variable setting for default user roles. subscribers can only comment on posts. Gonna hafta manually change them to something else.

See: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2292

for a discussion on this topic.

I wanna do something similar. I want to create a blog for each group at group creation time (optionally). All group members to have author/contributor roles.

Groups are the most important component in bp for me. Groups should have a wire, forum, and blog. And a bowling league. Bowling leagues are important too.

buddypress doesn’t create the blogs. wordpress mu does. Install mu with that option and you’ll get the subidirectory version of mu. I’d check the mu forums and around here before I chose that option though.

This solution lands me back at the standard wordpress branded logged out screen. How do I make it redirect the user to a logged out version of the bp homepage. Also, does this same solution apply for the username/logout area directly below the adming bar on the right side of the page?

You haven’t given us much to go on. You have mu trunk, bp trunk and what version of bbpress? Gotta run 1 alpha 4.

When you try to edit a user profile from bbpress dashboard > users you get the above error? I had problems with bbpress throwing 404s because I hadn’t seen the little link to the needed .htaccess file for bbpress. In case you missed that one its in settings > general > permalinks.

This doesn’t sound like that problem though.

Looks like bbpress is not happy with the info it’s getting about your users. Does mu and bbpress share the same database? If not then you have to point it in the right direction under settings > wordpress integration > show advanced db settings > all that stuff in there.

I got good news for ya meerblickzimmer. Ya it does work. I remember playing with it a couple of months ago. Just tried it again on my mu site. The config stuff is buried in the ‘secret’ options page. It’s not advertised, it’s just sorta there.

Here’s an mu thread.

Happy posting.

@burtadsit: blog_by_email works just in WordPress, not in WordPress MU or i found no possibility to include this function via WPMU-Plugin. But that is not the right forum for WPMU – Plugin discussions..

@danielfelice

Well, you’re in luck. I was tooling around this morning on an unrelated matter and found this goodie.

https://iphone.wordpress.org/

Introducing the first Open Source app that lets you write posts, upload photos, and edit your WordPress blog from your iPhone or iPod Touch. With support for both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress (2.5.1 or higher), users of all experience levels can get going in seconds.

Imagine that.

@danielfelice

You looking for an app that runs on a cellphone I take it? I don’t even own a cellphone so I can’t help ya. Any phone that can send email and attach a pic should do it. I found this:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_by_Email

It’s got nothing to do with cellphones but it tells us how to setup wp to accept blog posts by email. I tried it and it works slick.

Howdy, looking around in the bp code I found this for ya.

bp_post_author_avatar(). It’s in the bp-core-templatetags.php file. Looks like it is only useful inside of a wordpress post loop.

function bp_post_author_avatar() {

global $post;

if ( function_exists(‘bp_core_get_avatar’) ) {

echo apply_filters( ‘bp_post_author_avatar’, bp_core_get_avatar( $post->post_author, 1 ) );

} else if ( function_exists(‘get_avatar’) ) {

get_avatar();

}

}

I don’t see any references to *bp* using this function at all for it’s own purposes. Looks like it was built special for you.

This what you’re looking for?
