BuddyPress.org

@rosyteddy
Not sure exactly what you meant to convey by your reply but your wrong in thinking a single BP/WP site has tens of millions of users are using this platform simultaneously even on wordpress.org I am not talking how many members there are I a am talking about how many people can actively be on a site at the same time before it bottlenecks. I don’t know Matt Mullenweg so I have no affiliation in that direction and I kiss no ones ass to get affiliation because I prefer being humble. FB is not a monopoly. There is other competition out there other than FB so I don’t know where your info comes from. Not to be rude but do you even know what a monopoly is?

LOL yes i meant xeon’s haha, that’s me all over spelling something as it sounds 🙂

Yes its expensive but its not intended for buddypress alone although i will test it out with it, its more of a venture into providing affordable hosting to clients etc. I can only afford to pay for it out of my other business revenue.

I just figured seeing as im interested in buddypress and use wordpress i would configure the servers like this seeing as i was purchasing them anyhows.

Too much to go into really as to why i purchased them, there would be no point me making the investment for a buddypress powered site on their own, when i have not yet built a buddypress site i have got traffic for.

@bphelp no worries mate, and i don’t think its to much off topic as this would need to be brought into consideration eventually if the reality of his website came true.

In your scenario that would be awesome if that was the case but I am not sure BP or WP could scale to the point that if “everyone” was on the site at one time like the BIG social networks it would handle that kind of traffic without major issues

Thats the beauty of the question 🙂 , I really dont think anyone has pushed buddypress coupled with wordpress to its limits as no-one has created that perfect niche yet that makes people want to use it by the masses, This no doubt has yet to be seen, tbh it is very complex to create a truly scalable environment for any platform and no matter if it was your own propriety customized solution or whether it be from using wordpress this is an issue anyone who built an highly successful site would face, i dont think its a question of ‘if’ someone will i think its more a question of ‘when’ 🙂

@mcpeanut
I was simply referring to the “change the world” statement. I love BuddyPress/WordPress and have developed plugins for it and I never said it was an unusable platform. You are right about BP and niche markets that is one of the awesome uses for BP but niche doesn’t take on the bold task of changing the world. I simply believe you should set realistic goals. In your scenario that would be awesome if that was the case but I am not sure BP or WP could scale to the point that if “everyone” was on the site at one time like the BIG social networks it would handle that kind of traffic without major issues. Apologies to the OP if this is slightly off topic.

Sorry @bphelp please dont take my questioning of your response negatively im genuinely interested in your opinion.

The reason i asked you the question above is because i think most people who have an idea for something they think is groundbreaking generally don’t do enough thinking about how they will implement that idea correctly if it did become successful, example: someone wants to create a social network with a good idea behind it, doesn’t have the funds or know how to have the propriety software you mentioned developed that other social networks have, then they do some research and stumble upon buddypress and think hey i can use it to build my amazing idea from, they then build their idea and think yippee its built im ready to unveil it to the world, and they get some hosting and put it live, it gets busy infact really busy then it grounds to a halt and fails.

Why did this happen? The thought process behind how things will need scaling and handling of growth wasn’t in place.

What if that person had done enough research about scaling and server configurations and are prepared to throw many much needed resources into the equation as and when needed?

The reason i ask you this is because i have now spent nearly 12 months researching about server administration/configurations regarding growth in a wordpress environment so i am curious on other takes on this.

@bphelp i agree with you on alot of things you just said, i also have a different view on a few things.

when it comes to software you need to have something proprietary like the BIG social networks

Ok we all know that buddypress is not designed to beat sites like fb etc, but it is by no means an unusable platform to build upon and expand into a large social network if done the right way.
Alot of this will ultimately depend on resources we can throw into a buddypress powered site if it began to grow at a rapid rate, it is quite possible one day someone will tap into a niche market using buddypress that goes viral amongst this niche, making the website very successful. I am going to ask you this, what would happen in this scenario, say if someone here did build a site that went viral through no fault of their own as everyone just flocked to use the site that was powered by buddypress, are you saying you would have to give up and close it because buddypress and wordpress wouldn’t cope?

Not avaible yet. Will be in WP 4.2 new “press-it”.

Keep in mind that SWA is not an external activity wall or feed, but a site (your site) members activity wall. Searching to publish anything on it is a bit vain.

Some medias can simply be embeded to SWA by copy/pasting, such as tweets, youtube videos or photobucket pictures.
Allowed medias are described here.

Try the latest 2.2-branch and see if that fixes your problem:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9647/branches/2.2?old_path=%2F&format=zip

Specifically, the fix in ticket 6280 should resolve things:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/9608

Many solution for this, which is a WordPress question. For ex.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-access-manager/

Plupload isn’t a plugin, rather, it’s an ‘upload’ library used in WordPress core. It’s a great way of uploading media. We’ve all used it even though we might not know it because it’s the tool that powers the media uploading when you go to WP admin > Media > Add New

@lbpp OK so the short term approach would be to write a HTML form with the option list and file upload button as form elements. Then, server-side, you’d have your processing script which processes the $_POST data after the user has submitted.

There’s 101 ways to do that. Plupload springs to mind as the most elegant solution because you can do all sorts of stuff with the uploaded file (and of course Plupload is a core library so the solution will be lightweight). In terms of where the media gets uploaded to, I assume you’d want it to go into the back-end Media Library? If so, then checkout the async upload script. If you use that when setting your Plupload defaults, then most of the heavy lifting is done for you automatically.

Check out the Plupload docs for more info on that library.

Of course, that’s just one approach you could go with (the one I’d choose myself), but there will be many more alternative approaches you could take.

Hi @lbpp

Check out the Attachments API (which is currently in the pipeline and should be available in the 2.3 release). As you’ll see, this kind of thing will be far easier going forward.

Hi @wordpresswally

You seem to be doing everything right. Disabling plugins and reverting to the default theme (Twenty somethings) usually resolves the problem.

Are you seeing the problem on both localhost and on your online server?

Hi, it’s lunch time in Japan now.

oh… not working yet…

Setting MAMP’s virtualhost and access to virtualhost on your browser.
for example,

httpd-vhosts.conf
—————————————————————–
<VirtualHost *:8001>
DocumentRoot “/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress”
</VirtualHost>
————————————————————–

Browse URL…”http://localhost:8001/&#8221;

I think so resolve with it…

MAMPバーチャルホストを調べてください。
きっと問題は解決されるはずです。
または、”http://localhost”でwordpressが見れるように設定すれば解決するかもしれません。

がんばって。
どこにも情報が無くて、ちょうど同じ時に悩んでるあなたを見つけました。
私も1日悩み続けていたので、あなたの助けになりたい。
あなたがうまくいくように願っています。

@mcpeanut @shanebp I really apologize for that. Did not mean to be harsh or demanding.
At present none of the wordpress or buddypress event plugins has the implementations that any social networking site or social networking scripts has. Event Manager is a good plugin – with respect to front end BuddyPress Simple Events seem to offer no added benefit. Backend – yes, its simple and useful.

I appreciate shanebp your effort and releasing this plugin for the community. Though it may not fit my use-case just in its present form, it will sure help many. Once again, my apologies, and thanks.
