BuddyPress.org

wordpresss but this filter can override the jpeg default (which is 90) `apply_filters( ‘jpeg_quality’, $jpeg_quality, ‘image_resize’ )`

Alright, concrete feedback now that I’ve played with your features.
1) Header image is too small. I would like options to have a larger image. I like 275 px
2) Remove the search from the header. I’d like options to remove that. It’s unneeded for my site.
3) Title. It’s currently behind the gray bar for the buddypress. Move it down?

Now, I’m just learning PHP, been using HTML for years. New to WordPress in last year. Can I make the above changes somehow in the style.php? I hate to make changes and break it.

I like that it uses the custom menus, so much of my information needs to be accessed in it’s categories.

Thanx for the hard work!

I used WP-DB-Backup (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/), which can export all the tables specified, to successfully export — and re-import via the phpMyAdmin panel — the whole megillah, including BP-specific data.

Check this out https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/

ok, with thanks to http://cleverness.org/2010/08/08/add-user-types-to-wordpress-and-buddypress/ found another starting point:

Put this in you BuddyPress theme /registration/register.php file:

`Account Type:

User Type A
User Type B
User Type C

`

Put the following code in your theme’s functions.php:

`<?php
/* Add sign-up field to BuddyPress sign-up array*/
function bp_custom_user_signup_field( $usermeta ) {
$usermeta = $_POST;

return $usermeta;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_signup_usermeta’, ‘bp_custom_user_signup_field’ );

/* Add field_name from sign-up to usermeta on activation */
function bp_user_activate_field( $signup ) {

update_usermeta( $signup, ‘signup_type’, $signup );

return $signup;
}
add_filter( ‘bp_core_activate_account’, ‘bp_user_activate_field’ );

function synchro_wp_usermeta($user_id, $password, $meta) {
global $bp, $wpdb;

$type = $meta[signup_type];

update_usermeta( $user_id, ‘signup_type’, $type );

}
add_action( ‘wpmu_activate_user’, ‘synchro_wp_usermeta’, 10, 3);
`

This should create selection of account types on the signup page.
If anyone knows how to update profile-loop.php, so that every account type would have different profile group, please share your opinion.

thanks.

It means the plugin will only work for regular WordPress installs but not for WordPress MU or WordPress Multisite.

just wrote a plugin but for single wordpress only

You’ve sort of taken two slightly different responses and tried to meld them into one, you originally asked about users being allowed to contribute/provide content ; I pointed out that you can allow selected users to write content on the main blog that BP runs on, it was also mentioned that MS blogs could be enabled, if you have enabled MS you now have two options to allowing users to contribute content on the site.

You do not create user blogs yourself the user creates the blog themselves and in doing so is automatically the admin for that blog, bear in mind that these blogs are full standalone WP blogs, I doubt you want to be creating them manually on behalf of your users, you could do though.

The other option is as I mentioned originally and to which you allude to in asking “and grant them the author level manually?” you would be doing this if you wanted to add authors to the main blog.

You might need to clarify for yourself the distinction between user blogs and what is often referred to as the ‘Main Blog’

here’s the link to custom community theme in the WP repository:
https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/custom-community

demo site is now here:

fwiw – the wordpress backend checks if the same user_nicename AND user_login exist. if it does, it will attach a suffix (this is part of wp-includes/registration.php – wp_insert_user)

So does that imply it’s not strictly a BP issue/ in which case the ticket really needs directing to WP if it’s to be dealt with.

Also, try out EventPress https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/eventpress/ . That is the only plugin right now using BPCP (BPCP was developed as an offshoot of EP, to be honest) and can give you an idea of the kind of functionality provided by EventPress.

This page tells you how to create widgets for WordPress / BuddyPress:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API#Developing_Widgets

try ftp’ing and renaming/removing all the other plugins (probably a bp plugin causing the issue)

Take a look at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/

Essentially, something like !bp_is_blog_page() will return TRUE when you are on any page that isn’t a WordPress blog page – i.e. when you are on any of the Social Network (BuddyPress) pages.

Alternatively, the default theme already embeds some class information in the body tag – although there is no single one for a BuddyPress page, so you’d have to catch all the different classes.

We cant get to your group forum because it’s private.

You groups forum link should be

http://gwspacesociety.org/wordpress/groups/students/forum/

If you can’t get to that link then you have a problem.

Most likely after the release of bbpress as a plugin then people will start looking into ways to enhance the forums. This is probably first quarter 2011.

PJ – Check out Heavy Analytics – http://heavyanalytics.com. It is a plugin that we are developing for this purpose. The purpose of the plugin is to give you actionable information about your WordPress/BuddyPress users. For example, it will help you figure out who the leaders in your community are, who the most active members of your community are, etc.

We will be releasing the public Alpha soon and would love to have you test it out and provide some feedback when it is ready! Just enter your email address into the sidebar of the Heavy Analytics site.
