BuddyPress.org

oh please do try it out.. it would be really great

maybe someone would convert it into plugin or something also!

It would be very easy to modify your forum code so that only registered members can view posts. You could say “if the current user is not logged in, display a ‘sorry’ message, else proceed with setting up and displaying the forum posts. You could even set it up so they could view a few teaser posts at the top, and then display the ‘you must login’ message. I may in fact try this out on a few groups!

sorry I don’t understand the commenting issue, if you can describe how to reproduce it please open a topic here https://wordpress.org/tags/bp-album

for custom strings recently djpaul wrote this post on his blog http://byotos.com/2010/04/hijacking-wordpress-internationalisation/ . Hope it helps

I see, thanks for the info

I am going to experiment first with facestream.. for some reason i get an error when try to set it up..

with this Facebook Connect plugin it creates a member in BP, so even if you remove the plugin their account stays:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-fb-autoconnect

with phpbb it was easy to grow numbers.. because there was an option to restrict access.. to registered members only..

buddypress does not have this though

people can read all posts without registration there is invite on,y and hidden forum.. but it is not the same as

register to view..

i think that;s missing feature by the way

re facebook login — I want them to be registered with me, not only with facebook haha – unless I misunderstand..

re hosting,, is it fast? to me it seems on the slow side,

so I am glad you said that.. guys who were helping me out had to install some plugins to optimize it.. etc..

it is on dedicated server / litespeed

It should be quite easy to pull the WP password strength indicator from the WP admin profile page.

Or even try using a jQuery plugin like this one:

@modemlooper’s suggestion works well. Admin is an admin and will have the same privileges.

I’m not familiar with the poster’s original question, but sometimes wordpress site owners will create a new admin account and delete the out-of-the-box admin to mitigate risk (thought minor) to the site.

It’s also very fast – what are you hosting on?

@kriskl your community has, like…62000 MEMBERS ? Wow, now THATS a large community !

Liked your site, very organized. Being about accountancy students, wouldn’t facebook login be useful for member singup ?

Regards,

hi Guys!

I have migrated from phpbb3 to buddypress

site went live today, there were some hiccups with script, and not everything was converted.. private msg or attachments. and links in posts are not right..

anyways, here it is. opentuition.com/forums

PS. I have not done it myself, but people who did it, if they did it for me, they can do it for you, drop me PM and i will forward your info!

So let me get this right. These are a combination of Joomla, and WordPress?

Dude, you must be some kind of PHP Svengali.

They all look very nice. I couldn’t pick one over the other technically, but I like the first one the best.

Really good stuff man.

Cool one rsqst, will the Ursuline nuns be accepting male, or female guests only, at the convent?

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-profile-widget-for-blogs/ has been updated and it’s working in child blogs.

Cheers.

Could be I got the same issue here. 2.92 WordPress (single user) and latest BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.

With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.

There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.

But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?

(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.

But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.

Here’s more examples. “Activity” tab + “Personal” tab resolves to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupe3903doll/activity/just-me/ which is probably right. But “Profile” tab + “Edit profile” tab redirects back to home page.

How weird is that?

And one more thing I noticed. When tabs resolve where they should? I get logged out. But when tabs redirect to home page? I remain logged in.

The plugin bp-member-filter[1] works for me.

You need to use :

<?php if ( bp_has_members_filter( 'search_terms=metal&per_page=10' ) ) : ?>

Hey Aran, I could not get this to work at all with just regular WP, but after deleting and installing WordPress MU in its place, I was able to get BuddyPress to work with no problems. Very strange…because I was able to install BuddyPress with just a regular install of WordPress 3 days ago on another site.

I found this mail sended in 2007 on wp-hackers, while searching for error message stuff at plugin activation

It seems to be be already the same situation in 2010… so devs, you know…

wp-hackers] Plugins : return proper error on activation faliure

Some complex plugins may fail during activation (creating database

tables or what not).

currently there is no way for plugins to return an error signal + error

message in such cases: only thing they can do is to print the error.

this is problematic as the error does not fit well into the wordpress

admin page, and can also cause problems if for some reason the someone

tries to set an http header after the plugin was activated.

I suggest that we allow plugin to return error message back to wordpress

on activation.

The visibility of the Admin nav-item is a side effect of “Site Wide: true” but it isn’t the correct way to fix this.

The “Site Wide” meta value doesn’t have anything to do with users, roles, or capabilities. It’s only there to tell WordPress that plugin can act as the umbrella that covers all blogs/sites in a network.

The offending plugins are simply just not using the correct methods to add their navigation to the Admin area.

WordPress has many wrappers to help make this easy for plugin authors:

add_management_page

add_options_page

add_theme_page

add_users_page

add_dashboard_page

add_posts_page

add_media_page

add_links_page

add_pages_page

add_comments_page

All of the above functions are passed an $access_level variable, that can be set to a “current_user_can” value to limit its access.

I’d drop a message to the authors of the plugins that are showing their settings to unauthorized users. That isn’t just inconvenient/embarrassing/confusing, it’s a security risk.

Got pretty much the same issue here. Latest WordPress (non-MU) and BuddyPress installed via BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin.

With nothing disabled in BP general settings, everything enabled in component setup.

There is no “create group” in the “groups” tab. Only “My Groups” and “Invites”. Clicking the “groups” tab goes to http://www.ultimatecultureclash.com/members/cupedoll/groups/ which seems fine.

But I want forums. And it seems forums are a property of groups. So I need groups. How to create groups?

(After much confusion) I enter MANUALLY: http://ultimatecultureclash.com/groups/create/step/group-details/

This goes to /groups/create/step/group-details/images/images/bg_body.gif which looks good. The heading says “Create a Group” and there’s input fields for “Group Name” and “Group Description”.

But entering group name, group description and pressing “Create Group and Continue —->” button only reloads blog homepage and creates nothing.

I’ve read somewhere that this might be theme-related? I run Atahualpa, pretty extensively customized. Yet the BuddyPress Template Pack Plugin was supposed to integrate everything painlessly (for ignorant non-coders like me). And the weird thing is how smoothly it seemed to have done the job. Until it came to creating groups.

Did you try is_home() instead?

https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags

The above link suggests that it should be is_front_page() but given how bp-default is playing around with that setting in the backened, you might need to check is_home()
