BuddyPress.org

Thanks @3sixty — after much head-wringing and a little tweak, I got your code to work perfectly:

<?php if (get_usernumposts( bp_current_user_id() ) > 0) echo " | Blog posts: " . get_usernumposts( bp_current_user_id() ); ?>

In the process I learned that “get_usernumposts()” has been deprecated in WordPress 3.0, so when that comes out I assume I’ll have to change this to work with the replacement function, “count_user_posts()”

@Modemlooper – as stwc posted above, he wanted a front page other than c) A WordPress Page

Actually, not really — I just want to show one of the other default BP site sections — forums or blogs or members. But if this is a general solution that also includes that ability to do that, even better.

Thank you for the info.

In our case, yes we would want all the updates from facebook to post to the blog.

We have a number of missionaries around the world who post to facebook. I was thinking of creating a subdomain blog for each missionary. That way when they post to facebook it would automatically show up on their blog.

Now a normal person would say, ‘why not just post the blog article and have it pushed to facebook’?

Well, say I have 20 church websites that all support the same missionary. Instead of him having to post to all 20 church blogs, he could post to facebook, and I could have all 20 blogs auto updated for him.

Obviously this is a very specific example, but it would work the same for many concepts.

anyhow, I had not even thought of a wordpress app for facebook. I’ll go dig around and find me one.

thanks again

It’s for the next version of this website: http://www.artmonastery.org

It’s for a network of artists. Each blog will be a specific art project, and each subscriber/author will be an artist participating in that art project. Many artists will be participating in many different art projects, and I’d like their bio information to be publicly displayed on each blog/project.

The blogs will be the public “portal” for each of the art projects, which we will us to promote the projects. The groups that are associated with each blog (with the group blog plugin) will be the internal communication tool for the artists.

I’d like all the subscribers/authors/etc (aka artists) for a given blog (aka art project) to be listed at the top of the blog’s index.php page, with a few fields from the xprofile (bio, specialty, etc.). Ideally, I’d get them to echoed in a way that was easy to feed into a snazzy jquery slider gizmo.

artists.

I’m trying to build a resource for these artists that is really 1 database with many faces, and given that I love wordpress, buddypress seemed like the best way to do that. It’s just stretching my abilities, at the moment

Great! Thanks!

Just one more question (if you don’t mind). How do I go about allowing new registered users to post articles from a custom write post page?

I have used WordPress for a quite some time and can make custom themes but I;m new to Buddypress. Not sure where to start,

Thanks for the help Jeff!

I was able to get it all sorted out! Yeah! Now when users register they will automatically be added to the selected groups!

I am currently using WPMU, so I am using a WPMU Hook. Is there an easy way to register actions using either WP or WPMU Hooks so there wouldn’t need a second version of the plugin for single user wordpress.

The hook I am currently using is wpmu_new_user and I believe the single user equivalent is user_register. Is there a global value available to do something like this…

if ( $wpmu ) {

}

Hi everyone,

I just checked in a trunk version with a bunch of fixes and new stuff. From the readme:

* Enabled Opt Out option for invitees

* Subject line is now customizable by the admin

* Admin can toggle whether users can customize subject line and message body of invitation emails

* Some localization bugs fixed

* Filtered spammers from group invitation list

* Fixed bug that may have caused problems with some MU limited email domain lists

* Email Address field is now auto-populated on Accept Invitation screen

If anyone feels like being an Outstanding Citizen and helping me out, they’re more than welcome to grab the development version https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/invite-anyone/download/, deactivate and move their current version of the plugin, activate the dev version, and put it through the paces. I’m especially concerned to hear whether the opt-out feature works in the way that you’d expect.
