ParticipantI am not trying to compare facebook or ning to BP. I am merely trying to highlight that users will ultimately make comparisons, whether webmasters or developers like it or not.
Most casual users of the internet are you used to the facebook experience where you do everything from the front end. Lets say if i want to use Buddypress to set up an organic farming community for example I am going to have many of my users getting confused with having a backend and a front end and all of the options and admin stuff in the backend.
Most of my users of my hypothetical site are 40 to 50 somethings who hardly know the difference between the front end and the back end and have only recently discovered Facebook. So I will find them struggling and complaining with using the site. So I will have to set up my network on Ning instead, where so many other 40 to 50 somethings have setup groups. It would be better for me to have my own private site but what choice do I have.
Buddypress is an excellent idea but having it religiously follow the dogma of wordpress when its aimed at being a platform for community sites, is ultimately going to cause some issues. All I am merely suggesting is tailoring WP to make it fit to the requirements of users.
Obviously human politics creep in everywhere and as a result this as well as technicalities Andy has his hands tied when it comes to forking WP for example. So why not turn BP into a separate project all together by integrating BP and WPMU into one package and stripping out some of the WP centric things like most of the backend. It can still say based on WPMU on the box but it won’t look and feel so much like WP to the end user if you see where I am getting at.
After all how many people who use BP will also want to use the WPMU only features on their site. Once you set up a social network you can’t go back to just being a multi-user blogging site. So stripping out the WP centric features surely won’t be an issue in the context of running a social network.

ParticipantGreat question. Jeff Sayre had the privacy plugin of 1.1.x but won’t release a version for 1.2 just yet.
http://jeffsayre.com/2009/12/05/buddypress-privacy-component-released/comment-page-1/#comment-531
I’m confident, when released, it will provide some much needed privacy to BP.
I’ve heard that the following plugins may help bring some privacy to BP, but I haven’t heard which one users find the most effective or are compatible with BP 1.2:

ParticipantGrosbouff, are you aware of the Geo Mashup plugin. Couldn’t you leverage that?
I installed and activated Geo Mashup site-wide, but then it asks all the member blogs for their own Google API code in the wp-admin, which is annoying and will confuse many users.
Haven’t had time to test your plugin yet, but if it does the same as Geo Mashup, I’d rather have a cleaned up BP-ready version of Geo Mashup.

ParticipantHi!
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve been using a header-hack to ensure that no non-registrees are allowed into the website. I’ve only found https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/registered-users-only-2/ that’s secure enough for me (all parts of the website). But it isn’t supporting BP 1.2. right now. I’m hoping for a release soon enough although.

Participantwordpress and buddypress are not proprietary scripts, you do not have to pay to delete the copyright or the product name, there is no license related to the product name.
the reason why you see the names and links to the original projects is what we call respect and credits… nothing more. you can still respect the authors and give credits to them if someone ask… so yes, you can delete everything you need to.
that is the answer to the OP.

MemberHi, I just installed buddypress on my wordpress blog that is currently running bbpress. I guess I am missing something. I thought buddy press could run along side my blog and not take it over. I was hoping to create a community with buddypress and keep the template and look of my current blog. Is that possible? I installed it as a plugin through wp.

podictionary
ParticipantIndex and search are important related issues. A few points:
1) Database content search throughout needs serious thinking. How to include (and how to distinguish in results) blogposts, comments, activity updates, forums…
2) Indexing for search engines needs thought. What serious website doesn’t want to show up in Google?
3) A Google custom search is an option but shows up the problems of appearing in Google results; namely that scrolling activity lists result in indexes pointing to pages that no longer hold that content.
@nexia I see that at wordpress.com there is “search wordpress.com blogs” so MU can and does somehow allow for this.

ParticipantAs Open Source projects, anyone is free to fork any of the WordPress family of products as long as they adhere to the GPL licensing. In fact, WordPress itself started as a fork of another blogging platform.
However, Automattic will not fork its own products. With Andy as the only full-time Automattic employee working on BuddyPress, there is already too much for him to do with the current BuddyPress product, not to mention that forking your own product is basically creating a competitor.
Forking is not a task that should be taken lightly. Successful Open Source projects require a lot of supporting infrastructure: from a project repository; to an up-to-date and maintained project website; to a core team of developers; to a community that springs up and supports the project fork; to a support forum to offer help to users. These are just a few of the many requirements of creating and growing a healthy OS project.
But that should not stop you or anyone else who feels they have a different vision for the future of the platform to fork it and take it in a different direction.

Andrea Rennick
ParticipantGet the New Blog Defaults plugin.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpmu-new-blog-defaults/
That will set whatever theme you pick as the default for new blogs.
To change the theme that’s already on exisiting blogs, it depends on what theme they have selected already.
February 21, 2010 at 11:06 am #64523Participant@Nexia I hear you but nothing is set in stone and politics shouldn’t get in the way. Why can’t Automitic consider then forking WordPress to create a standalone BP with most of the interfacing hooked into the front end.
The worst thing to happen is to have users complain that this isn’t as simple to use as Facebook or even Ning.

ParticipantDoes anyone know if a child theme of bp-default placed in the themes folder and called default can replace an original default theme by mu.wordpress. I tried it and all blogs are broken. The only thing that shows is a white page.

ParticipantThere is potentially a way of doing this without having to get your hands wet in code.
If the posts are in different categories, then you could grab the “WP Post Columns” plugin (http://www.samburdge.co.uk/plugins/wp-post-columns-plugin-2) and the “Show Post Shortcode” plugin (on the WordPress.org plugin repository). You can then add shortcodes for three columns within a page (through the backend editor for the page) and, within each column, use the shortcode for showing posts in each of the relevant three categories. I’ve tried this for testing purposes, in a test BP1.2 install, and have had it working perfectly. The column code widths are expressed as percentages so they expand and contract along with the flexible theme.

ParticipantYou can have a look at a theme called Feed me, Seymour, https://wordpress.org/extend/themes/feed-me-seymour
It is not for BuddyPress, but maybe you can find some code to copy and paste…
