BuddyPress.org

This is really an annoying problem. I cannot see many of my older posts. If this issue is not getting corrected with some urgent love due to lack of free time by devs , is it impossible to add a sticky to this forum to keep copies of our own post for future reference OR increase the number of posts per page so that pagination is not needed at least for the first 50 or 100 items?

There is some workaround which I faintly remember by typing some ?=2 or something but that is not the way things should go.

There has been many forum posts as well as tickets on this. No resolution. So @djsteveb resubmitting may be marked duplicate and closed promptly. Thanks.

One such ticket : https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5808#ticket

And it seems, the two shall never meet ……

http://stackideas.com/forums/switched-from-joomla-to-wordpress-after-jreviews-port-wish-stackideas-would-consider-porting-easysocial-the-same-way

BTW @statusselect, have you been able to use https://www.corephp.com/joomla-products/wordpress-for-joomla with Easysocial with Likes/Favs comment sync between the two – stream to blog, blog to stream

The two things lacking in BP after I saw Easysocial in some details is the
– Sharebox – it comes with nice at mention and hashtag ( hashtag plugin in BP is not Unicode compliant)
– Album and photo – nicely built into core – something not in BP’s agenda with their own reasoning.

The Sharebox which Easysocial uses can be instantly done in BP by someone who has some coding skills and BP love using the plugins avaialble – buddypress activity plus, buddypress privacy, bp checkins, Event Manager and a Media plugin. But then ….

Easysocial theme is responsive in a fantastic way and similar BP theme like the Boss of Buddyboss costs $100+ while Easysocial, without the bbundle is $90 – so this may be another attractive point for those who need Social more than multiuser blogging. Easysocial is lesser known till now and probably they do not have a favorable stance towards WP.

And the two shall never meet ….
People shall choose whatever they want, and BP devs and debvelopment will follow the path that suits them best. One thing is true, if BP was something like Jetpack, things would have evolved faster, imho

Thanks.

Hey @djsteveb

You should open a Trac ticket for this.

Hi @statusselect Thanks.

http://stackideas.com/bundles cost $240 – Is EasySocial operable without the Blog and comments ? Please keep in mind that we, users of WP + BP, need both good blogging and commenting.

Is there Blog like WP MS/MU blogs integrated there ? I could not find in the demo.
By blog integration I mean each site member can have her own blog with own theme and widgets etc, nicely customizable as in WordPress Multisite. Blog posts can also be commented and “liked” from both the stream and the blog post itself. [ BP lacks both-way Liking]
In their demo site, I found “Blog” is an App which the user has to load, and for me it did not load actually but took time and more time with the loading icon going on for ever.
If the Multiuser Blog experience is more or less similar to WP, then yes, it is worth exploring EasySocial.

Other questions :
– Can Friends be stacked into various “workmate” “batchmate” etc like Elgg ?
– Can an user Block another user ?
– How does the script handle excerpts of blogs in stream, how does it handle toooo loooong names or words ? How does it handle Unicode?
– How easy is the theme to customize for a non-dev? Language can be changed easily?

I did not find any pre-sales forum there or any github repo. Which would be great. They also do not have a test-downloadable version like SocialEngine.

Thanks for your answers.

PS : BP devs have their own logic, priority, speed etc. Its more than six years I guess BP lacks 2 way favoriting and a standard status/whats new box. The moment you say “standard” you may hear what is standard to one is not standard to other. That way, EasySocial has very well understood the needs of “standard”. I can only wish if they integrated EasySocial with WP Multisite it would have been an unbeatablle product. Ideas have a very few or no pickers at all. Unless we can code for ourselves or have enough money to pay Devs to bring changes the way we want, posting in forum is really not going to change the evolution of BP. IMHO. Thanks.

I found with one site on one server – any emails sending via php had a weird return header thing from my server that did not get through some of this big three email clients no spam lists..

a plugin similar to https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/

may change your wp to send via an smtp account on your server instead of php using a weird default server header.. you may need to create an smtp account for that work.. and even so there are other factors that could limit your email getting through.. (some shared servers are on backlist, some web hosting companies are given minus points, even if your web site is on the up and up)

There are a lot of things that could cause it to fail the ‘real mail’ test at some of these services..

The Sharebox or the equivalent of Whats New box in BP is fantastic. Its not “sophisticated” but integrates in a simple user friendly way that members need. – I agree.

But what are the pros and cons featurewise ? Resource-hungriness? Security ? Back-up ? Code cleaniless and less-bulikness?
Most importantly can each and every user have their own blog with own themes and widgets like WordPress Multisite ?

Personal reason I am using WordPress- BUddypress is for the seamless WordPress Integartion [ except Favorites/Likes] – if Elgg / Oxwall / Easysocial offered this WP integration things would have been different, probably.

Now, another important part Easyocial is $250, BP is free.. It follows a business model. [However anyone will love the approach at stackideas.com/support]. BP is developed out of free available time by Devs, and the Dev is not oriented so much towards Features out of box rather towards backend “geeky” things which is supposed to make it robust and less bulky for other devs who can produce feature-based plugin 🙂

Easysocial sharebox and some features are what BP ideally should push in overnight but that is really never going to happen in years. I suggest you please post a detailed review and please explain how multi-blogging (each user having own blog with own theme etc) is in Easysocial.

Thanks

Send a confirmation to the user being deleted?

Not sure if this will work from Settings > Delete Account:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/delete_user#Example:_Email_Users_Being_Deleted

oh i got your point now sorry i dint saw that attached screen shot carefully before,in that case you may need a custom fuction may be the below link could get you some help
Manually modifying single group navigation in BP 1.5

You don’t say which hook your class uses.

Have you tried using get_group_ids( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ?
See the function in bp-groups\bp-groups-classes.php and note the structure of the returned array.

If you’re hooking before BP is ready, you could always run some custom sql.
Use SELECT COUNT via get_var.

Hi @nkeatign

BuddyPress ‘members’ and WordPress ‘authors’ share the same ID, therefore are the same entity. A post that belongs to WordPress author with ID 286 belongs to a BuddyPress member with ID 286 (because, again, they’re the same). If something isn’t displaying as you’d expect, then it’s likely to be a theme issue.

Which theme are you using?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailpress/

@minglonaire you can also try https://bp-tricks.com/design/easily-hide-specific-tabs-on-buddypress-member-and-group-pages/ AND remove Activity from Themes > Menu in your wordpress admin dashboard

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-checkins/

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-better-emails/

I wanted to see if anybody else has a solution to this. The https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-global-search/ plugin is great, but it takes over the entire search function, including wordpress. I was hoping for a plugin that only searches buddy press activity feeds, and separately for each group. Thanks…

Hi @rosyteddy

That’s related to WordPress rather than BuddyPress. Something you may be interested in if you have lots of ideas for WordPress is WordPress Ideas. Ideas get voted for so the popular ones ‘bubble’ to the top so to speak.

Hope this helps.

This ticket may help you https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6124
Thanks

@kissui See this https://bitbucket.org/feedmycode/twentyfifteen-child/get/21eebdd3b23c.zip
and https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6124/twentyfifteen-child.zip

MiniBuzz seems a bit outdated, and given as compatible up to WP 3.8 ! May work, but wouldn’t recommend to use it with WP 4.1.1 and BP 2.2.1

You have to debug ! 😉

It’s not ONLY for lacalization, it’s how you should can do it. Read this carefully please.

If you want to add font awesome icons, you can do this directly by CSS. Read here how this can be done.

Hi @saish_neugi

The proper way to enqueue scripts is wp_enqueue_scripts. You should open a topic on the plugin’s support forum mentioning that so a fix can be released

https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_enqueue_scripts

po/mo file name should be buddypress-xx_XX.po/mo
where xx_XX are respectively country(min) and language(maj) ISO code.

if you’re using spanish (Spain) xx_XX is es_ES,
if you’re using spanish (Mexico) xx_XX is es_MX, and so on for all other hispanic speaking countries.

If you don’t know your ISO code, read in this codex section about language and country code.
