@adelack – two thoughts:

1. You can probably do this with the new WordPress custom post types. Build a theme that only gives your users an image upload post type

or:

2. Modify the activity status update to support image uploads, and use that instead of blogs for your users

Chiming in here…

@hnla is correct (as well he should be, with all the help I got from him building the plugin). Add All Nav Links to BP-Adminbar does not modify any links inherent to the adminbar itself (My Account, My Blogs, Notifications…). It simply adds Buddypress and WordPress page links to it and allows you to customize how everything is displayed.

Not necessarily, all depends, BP uses a stock install of WP so generally WP plugins will work on that part of the site that is WP, but won’t necessarily be BuddyPress aware. This is one of those suck it and see type questions.

Is it possible to add a filter to allow shortcodes in group descriptions? I would like to use the plugin “donation can” but I can’t get the shortcode the plugin generates to work properly. Ideas?

@irishartisans – did you get the custom permalinks working on your basic WordPress install with BuddyPress de-activated?

You’ll need that before you attempt to use BuddyPress.

Does this article help: http://www.benhuson.co.uk/2010/03/01/wordpress-permalinks-zeus-server/

I think you need to run CHMOD on the parent directory to something like 755

I have only used wordpress standalone + BP though. But worth a try.

A link like that won’t break the site. It must be something else. Is this something new since you’ve installed a plugin (other than BuddyPress) or changed theme? Most likely, I’d guess it’s an PHP memory error.

allows editing top level status updates (not replies – think after 1.2.6 hits i can hook into a new filter)

Hey, I’m the author of the minimum password length plugin and I just noticed this thread. I looked at the code from the password strength meter from the OP link and it appears that it’s only checking the password length. Is that what you’re looking for, or did you want to make people use non-alpha characters etc?

The best solution for this would likely be to utilize the existing password strength meter built into WordPress. If I remember correctly, there’s even a JavaScript library that could be queued from core that would do most of the heavy lifting. I’ll take a look tomorrow and see how hard it would be to add that to the BuddyPress profile page (and maybe have an option to force people to use strong passwords too). I’ve had limited experience with BuddyPress though, so we’ll see how far I get

@seocostarica Check out EventPress – http://gsoc2010.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/eventpress/
the bp-events plugin is good to BP 1.1.3 only. Here’s another BP 1.2 compatible Events plugin – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jet-event-system-for-buddypress/

As @Modemlooper wrote, h-mag.com events is a customized system per creator

H-mag is highly customized. They probably made their own components.

Did you try this one?

– Backup database and server files regularly, especially before any BuddyPress or WordPress upgrade
– Set up and maintain test installation/s which mirror/s live site/s. That’s where I check out all plugins and upgrades first before installing in live site. No rush to upgrade BP or WP install unless it’s a security release. Still, better to test first.
– Check out WordPress and BuddyPress forums for red flags re upgrades, plugins, etc.

I am using latest wordpress 3.0.1 and default twentyten child theme and all i did was transfer folders using buddypress theme pack and go in menu and create a custom menu and use it as primary menu add all the pages in menu and than create custom links for buddypress like for /activity /members/ /forums and so on and they work fine.

Re: moving standalone bbPress forums to BuddyPress group forums, I would recommend reading an excellent post by BP moderator, Boone Gorges:

Upgrading from BuddyPress 1.0 to 1.1

Hey guys,

So this is a shot int he dark, but ill tell ya what we have figured out so far.

I worked with some of our Server Operations guys, and they were able to narrow it down to the bp-groups.php file, it loads each ctivity, blogs, forums, friends, groups, messages, and xprofile individually, after checking to see if its enabled and that it exists.

Something in that file is causing Zend to go crazy and throw the 500 error.

We notice that BuddyPress says its fully supported on WordPress 3.0.0, is it possible that there is a change from 3.0.1 that could effect this? I recommend trying to install 3.0.0, or even an earlier version to see if it works.

Currently, we have renamed wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-groups.php to wp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-groups.php.disabled, and your site now loads.

Thank you

Hopefully someone else will chime in, but the only thing you may lose by not importing the bb_usermeta would be any customisation a user has done to their “display name” or “nice name”; it’d default back to that person’s username. They’d have to just type their preferred display name back in to WordPress or bbPress, so nothing tricky. So, I don’t think you need to.. probably.

I get the feeling you’re aware of this, but I’d suggest having a test-run of this to find out how well it works (or doesn’t) before doing it on your live database. Also, check that bb_usermeta and wp_usermeta have the same columns, you may need to massage the import a bit.

Once you get the users into WordPress, and you can log in as one of them, we can see about associating existing bbPress forum posts with a particular BuddyPress Group’s forum. I’ve not done that myself so hopefully someone who has can guide.

Hmm it depends how you want your site to work. At the moment, it’s a one group to forum mapping. That means, for each forum (or sub-forum), you’re going to need a group.

How many (sub)forums on your existing site? If you have more forums than you want BuddyPress Groups created, we need to do some more work to configure your setup to integrate your WordPress into an external bbPress installation. This is not technically easy, and would involve you creating a separate theme for the bbPress site itself.
A benefit of this approach is that you have full access to a traditional forum look-and-feel (bbPress’).

If, however, you’re happy with how the one forum to group mapping works with BuddyPress, you’ve already done the installation (i.e. clicked the button that said “use an existing bbPress installation”). What you’ll need to do next is move your users from the bb_users table into wp_users (and usermeta too if you want, but be careful and consider if you need to do that), create some groups and then edit their database entries to point to the existing bbPress tables.
