BuddyPress.org

cant do coding thats why i need a manager for it, like google ad manager, just need to know if its possible to use with wordpress and will it intergrate

@Mike,

I havent registered at buddydev but from some of the things I read I think he and I are going about things differently.

First, I am needing this plugin for a site that I need, with that there are things that Brajesh wont be releasing on the first edition. And then it goes 3-6 months on that revision..

I will be using Rackspace’s Cloud files, so I need a solution to use ANY file host be it local or remote, so I am working around that issue as a primary.

Second is I will be needing tagging pretty much off the bat. One post said this was for later..

My plan for tagging will actually allow any user/group/etc to to be tagged to any type of content provided it has a ID. Not just photos.

Plus I am generating a “site ID” so a group and a user cant both have the same ID. Right now there can be user 33, Group 33, and Blog 33.. All unrelated.. this is a pain as every plugin or content would need a “entity type” for each tag, or a separate field for each type. With a siteID and a corresponding table its held in one place and accessed on the fly..

I am also using the core 2.9 image editing, as well as a free java app to edit files in the client side(see facebook’s java app)

I am not trying to compete (well directly) with Brajesh, his plugin looks great but there is some functionality that I need and would rather let other folks have the option to use it as well.

Most of the code is actually already written itno WordPress 2.9’s media tools.

For example, all of the image editing/uploading/unzipping is already core. The biggest thing is taking the content mapping OUT of a hidden blog post(right now all media is stored as a blog post within a users main blog, including avatars) and allow users who DO NOT have blogs to be able to use WordPress’s media tools..

My current plans are:

Created SiteID system(already done)

add new tables to handle images

give all users/groups a “home” album and then a “profile picture” album

Modify how avatars are uploaded/added to the database

modify/duplicate the media-upload to change the filepath and way files are uploaded to fit my needs

I also plan to release what Ive done in smaller stages(for free). If I hit a worth wile release I may charge like $5 for it and maybe some type of support system, I dunno.. I may just give it away and begin work on other projects. ( once this is done I dont see many “new” features… Facebook has been the same for 5 years)

Not to say I wont add new features, or continue support, just that I cant imagine more at this time..

ok Im rambling..

I’m currently running You are using WordPress MU 2.9.1. I had an update after I added that information.,

Sorry about that and thanks for the suggestion.

It all finally works now – THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I ended up using a completly random HASH for the UserName since I was not feeling safe using your JavaScript.

This feature should be put in one of the future Releases of BuddyPress since indeed the concept of using Usernames to Login is old and with Features like Gravatar Support, the site itself should use email as the main auth form.

Just for completion so somebody might want to do the same thing:

I modified the register.php in registration subfolder like this

.

.

.

<!– Fool Registration that the Username is a Random Generated HASH –>

<input type=”hidden” name=”signup_username” id=”signup_username” value=”<?php echo sha1( uniqid( mt_rand(), true ) . time() ) ?>” />

<label for=”signup_email”><?php _e( ‘Email Address’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?> <?php _e( ‘(required)’, ‘buddypress’ ) ?></label>

<?php do_action( ‘bp_signup_email_errors’ ) ?>

<input type=”text” name=”signup_email” id=”signup_email” value=”<?php bp_signup_email_value() ?>” />

.

and used Beau Leben’s WP Email Plugin

I’m using the plugin that is found by “adding new plugins” in wordpress.

Thanks a lot Mike!

That works perfectly, although it doesn’t allow complete customisation of specific titles, it allows you to change it so that your pages have the title

I found :

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-title-tag/

once I knew, from your reply, what to search for, however it looks like this is only a wordpress feature because it didn’t work for me.

I’ll dig in the code of the “All in One SEO Pack” and see if I can specify exactly where the page titles are defined.

However, it’s doing exactly what I want right now.

Thanks a lot!
