BuddyPress.org

I should have said multiple WordPress sites are not good on $5 hosting. BBPress is changing to a WordPress Plugin and would probably not require as much resources. FaceBook connect creates WordPress users. Users can use BuddyPress or Next version of BBPress from WordPress user accounts.

Before you can create blogs, you need to create a network on your WordPress install. Here’s how:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

These instructions will show you how to enable Network Mode in WP: https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network

This will not affect BP, except that you will have a Blogs tab on your main nav.

I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the gamechangers part. If it turns out that you go with a Subdirectory Network installation, you’ll have to make that subdomain off limits at Network Admin > Settings.

BuddyPress is not good on $5 hosting accounts.

I spent time a while back looking at email addresses as usernames, and other scenarios. Things should work better throughout in 1.3, but some users (dots in username, email addresses in usernames) probably need to set define( ‘BP_ENABLE_USERNAME_COMPATIBILITY_MODE’, true ).

I’d prefer this to be smarter and automatic for BuddyPress, but I don’t think anything more work will happen in the 1.3 release, for this issue specifically.

Just installed WP3.2RC1 to play with. One thing I noticed was that it allows email addresses as usernames – could that be a problem for BP – especially if someone wants to add BP on after the WP install has lots of users and then wants to sync them…?

There’s another alternative to Janrain. Lanoba.com is new but they already have lot’s of cool features. Rumour has it that a WordPress plugin is on the way.

As per @asshu comment above, Gigya is >15000$/year which is out of the question for most small/medium websites.

Check them out at http://Lanoba.com

Did you install wordpress, or buddypress, from a webhosts built in installer/script or did you do the normal manual install?

Either way it may be a case of needing to re-install as a/some files may be missing… this can happen with ftp errors….

do you have a buddypress ready theme? BP will not work automatically for all themes. You’ll need a Buddypress ready theme and/or use the BP Template Pack plugin. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/

Check out the bp_activity_action_delete_activity() function in bp-activity.php.

There’s a hook where you can grab the activity ID before it’s deleted:
`/* Call the action before the delete so plugins can still fetch information about it */
do_action( ‘bp_activity_action_delete_activity’, $activity_id, $activity->user_id );`

You could potentially archive this information into a separate table for your own usage.

If you’re not familiar with WordPress hooks, check out the Plugin API codex page:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API

It’s possible, but the plugin would have to create its own tables to store the data. The Group Documents plugin that Dennis mentioned does something similar codewise and can be used as a jumping off point.

It would be better if BP had a dedicated meta table for PMs like the activity component. Then you could easily add this time of information without creating a separate table. I created a ticket here about this:
https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3083

I mean a “real wordpress post” from the WP dashboard. The idea is that I could create a real WP post and select the group as if it were a category, and then if you are a member of the group i posted to, the post would appear in your activity stream. Otherwise not. The “group’s activity stream” or by that i mean the “category” that is the page on which all of the group’s posts are summarized…that would work just like a normal post excerpt.

So, basically, it’s not about adding media like on FB, it’s about posting real articles, that is “real wordpress posts.”

I don’t know of anything that will, at the moment, allow for the kind of “rating” you’re asking for here. I assume you’d use BP activity as your ‘ideas’, though you could also have a custom post type (which would require coding).

You might check out BuddyPress Like, which might get you at least part of the way there: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-like/

What does “real posts” mean?

If you want the ability to include media in activity items, you might check out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-plus/

You don’t need a plugin to do the first part. Just use groups, plus https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-group-reviews/

Categorization will be trickier, and will require some sort of custom plugin. This plugin may help get you started: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-tags/

Brajesh is right; it’s probably a Javascript problem. I’d suggest checking out Suffusion’s custom BP template pack. Otherwise, as a stopgap, you might try changing line 23 of wp-content/plugins/bp-template-pack.php from
`wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );`
to
`if ( !is_admin() ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘bp-js’, BP_PLUGIN_URL . ‘/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/global.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ) );`

so that BP’s scripts are only loaded on non-Dashboard pages.

Suffusion has it’s own compatibility pack https://buddypress.org/community/groups/suffusion-buddypress-pack/ ….?

Hi,
It most probably seems like javascript conflict/error.
Do you use firefox. If yes, check the console(Even better if you use firebug addon) and please let us know if you see any error there ?

Hi Naved,
try this plugin
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-redirect-to-profile/

I had written it an year ago but it still works. Hope it helps. If it does not work. Please do let me know here.

In your case I think it’s impossible.

As I know, you can only make multiple wordpress installation with single login only if you are using a single database. Therefore, if you want there is BuddyPress with a single user credential on each WordPress installation, then it’s only possible if you are also using a single database.
