How likely is it that you or any of the other developers you’ve been talking with would make a plugin that adds WebID to WordPress in the near future?

@Tapaninaho:

Check out Peter Anselmo’s Group Documents plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-documents/

Peter does great work, and this plugin might get you very, very close to what you need. It provides a document repository for groups, allows uploaded files to be categorized and provides a backend management tool to determine allowable file types – among other features.

Profile works for me:

Using the BP Template Pack plugin is not plug-n-play! What you need to do is alter the CSS of your theme to make BP better fit the design of your site.

If you want users to have blogs, then you should use WP MU. Also, certain plugins only work with WPMU or WP. So, that should be part of the decision making process too. Otherwise, both of them will work.

I am having the same issue, but normal users can not upload either, when I recieve the following error “Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in C:Webspacepack119.netwwwwp-contentpluginsbuddypressbp-corebp-core-avatars.php on line 292” when I go to upload an image. I have WordPress 3.0-beta2-14729 and Buddypress 1.2.3 revision 3015

Line 292
$bp->avatar_admin->image->url = str_replace( WP_CONTENT_DIR, BP_AVATAR_URL, $bp->avatar_admin->image->dir );

I think that predominately most will be backing up by performing SQL dumps of the DB. it’s the usual and safest method and simple to do via a tool such as MyPHPAdmin.

I think you’ve said that you have a Plesk control panel available to you? Plesk panels should have access to the DB server via MyPHPAdmin which will allow you to select the appropriate DB and download a full dump of all tables.

The codex.wordpress.org has guides on how to perform SQL backups.

Try Stealth Login. I uses .htaccess to block direct access to wp-admin and create a new slug for that. That’s great plugin.

What Andrea_r said.

Or just password protect the entire /wp-admin/ dir from the server level.

@Sean

Have you tried r-a-y’s oEmbed for BuddyPress plugin?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/oembed-for-buddypress/

You probably already tried this tutorial:
http://www.michiknows.com/2007/02/12/who-else-wants-to-hide-their-wordpress-admin-folder/

The other technique is hacking WP core files:
http://www.socialblogr.com/2009/09/how-to-change-folder-name-on-wordpress.html

You could also try applying a filter to “admin_url”, but when I tried this awhile back, it didn’t work:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2584706/wordpress-where-the-admin-url-is-set

I should note that I’ve never done this and strongly advise you not to as well.

WP should have a defined WP_ADMIN_URL variable similar to WP_PLUGIN_URL and WP_CONTENT_URL, but it doesn’t.

It will be done, @Kunalb will work this summer on it:
Introduction

While I applaud your enthusiasm, I didn’t really get past the first capitalized OK in the beginning. Or maybe it was UK? Don’t really remember… Anyways, I see bp.org more as a gallery to show the world what we did with the software available, than what the message is we try to bring across with the sites we create with the software…

Personally, I like not making much sense… I was just wondering what the Top Gear team would have to say to you…

Then I read through the rest of the thread and thought that your message was kinda cool, so kudos to you! Good luck with it!!!

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-registration-options/ ?

The problem:
multiselectboxfields cannot be saved by trying to save profile of a user.

the errror-message:
“There was a problem updating some of your profile information, please try again.”

is still present in buddypress 1.2.3 and wordpress 2.9.2

I need this function for releasing a webside !!!!!

Read this:

Make sure you have enabled deep integration in your external bbPress install:
https://bbpress.org/documentation/integration-with-wordpress/#func
or:

Deep integration of bbPress with WordPress

Thanks for the tip. I just used it to add PollDaddy polls in the forums area.

@hiaz You can add it to the functions.php file in your theme.

Ask this on WordPress.org? Don’t see why this is a Buddypress issue.

Anyway, why not install wp 3.0b and use custom post type?

@moominmama Invites is a work in progress. I have part of it working but not all yet.

Hi @pollyplummer. You have basically got the right idea, but there are a few problems.

First, your check for usermeta is not formatted correctly. See https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_usermeta for get_usermeta syntax. In any case, get_usermeta gets stuff from the wp_usermeta table, and I used it as an example in my code to give you a sense of the kind of check you’d want to do. But that’ll only work if you’re checking against a piece of data that is stored using update_usermeta. BP xprofile fields are not. If the “114” information is stored in a bp xprofile field, you will probably have to do some magic with xprofile_get_field() to get it to work. The following will check for a field called “Type” and check to see if the current user’s Type value is 114:

$field_id = xprofile_get_field_id_from_name( 'Type' );
$field = xprofile_get_field( $field_id );
$value = $field->data->value;

if ( bp_the_profile_group_name() == 'awesome' && $value == '114' ) {

There’s probably a slicker way to do this, but it works. Again, this is only relevant if you’re storing the salient data in the xprofile tables.

The second problem is that you don’t want to repeat the bp_has_profile etc stuff inside of the if statement. If you want to feed a profile_group_id argument to bp_has_profile, you should do it in the initial loop.

Then make sure that you include the markup inside of the conditional if statement. In edit.php, that means everything, including the
