In reply to: External Blogs
peterverkooijen
ParticipantI’ve used the FeedWordPress plugin for a while. It’s excellent.
With administrator access you can associate RSS feeds with member blogs. It should be possible to make that functionality available to regular members so they can do it themselves -> voila, external blogs.
I’ll look into this in the next two weeks, when I’m upgrading to version 1.1.3 or 1.2. I’ll probably use crude custom code to add an input field that allows members to enter an RSS feed directly into FeedWordPress’ database table.
To turn it into a more sophisticated plugin I’ll probably need some help.
Is anyone else still working on this? Any ideas, comments or suggestions?
I’ll report back when I’ve made some progress…

ParticipantCool man, I don’t want anyone to think I only just complain, hehe. I have never been good at sugar coating stuff, and my wife gives me hell all the time about it. Btw, I have a 2 y/o and a pregnant wife, so I reserve the right to be snarky, lol.
Check out my registry for auto-embedding rich media services. I think it could be adapted to work for activity streams, although I guess it would have to be de-PHP5’d

Registry & Service Template Methods
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/buddypress-links/tags/0.2-RC1/bp-links-embed-classes.php
Services
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/buddypress-links/tags/0.2-RC1/bp-links-embed-services.php
To solve the performance problem, each “service” would need to define a method that denormalizes itself for storage in the table that is queried (it gets hammered). This is very similar to format_activity(), except the abstract activity registry class would define strict rules for the format of data that is returned, then format the output itself from this “cached” denormalized data. We are back to square one with the need to refresh the denormalized data periodically, but I can think of a few ways to lessen the hit. One would be to have a timestamp (or other freshness indicator) column so only records that have changed are refreshed. It would be ideal to refresh the data with a pure SQL query, but then the components would have to provide the SQL to do it, and that would get very messy.
In the end you have an activity stream class interface that basically says… you want to record activity? Ok, extend me and define these methods. You have to return data in exactly this format. Add yourself to my registry, and if you followed directions, I will do all of the heavy lifting for you. Otherwise, get lost.
LMK if any of this sounds good to you, or if we are way off of the same page.

KeymasterI’ve not seen any. My Achievements plugin sort of does this in some ways, but it isn’t intended to be a user stats plugin.

ParticipantThis seems to actually be another language based problem. Any clues how to fix it or work around?
That is to say, it does not effect roman script language but does effect character based languages, i.e. Chinese, Japanese etc.
This may actually be a WordPress problem … again. I have encountered this in themes also.

ParticipantYou guys should check out my plugin BuddyPress Links. The newest version 0.2-RC1 supports embedding of YouTube, Flickr, and metacafe videos, with more sites to be added soon.
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-links/download/
It is not styled like a gallery, but this is very possible with theming.
Originally I wanted to create a media library plugin, but I quickly realized that mash-ups are the future. Hosting your own media library is like trying to re-invent the wheel. There is so much that goes into streaming video, its mind boggling. YouTube and Flickr already dominate the Internet as far as rich media goes. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.

ParticipantThis is the best integration i have seen so far between WordPress MU and Buddypress. Great Work!
Also i do have a question, what plugin are you using for the Classified?
Is it a 3rd party script ? custom script ? or something else???
Thanks!

ParticipantContributors, Authors, Editors and Administrators can all write blog posts.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
The tricky part is only allowing admin-authored posts in the homepage loop. Not sure how to do that. Perhaps with a conditional or a custom query? I’m not enough of a coder to answer that. Goggle is your friend
If there will be only ONE admin however (you?) then it could be as simple as this (note: change “1” to whatever your author id is).<?php query_posts('author=1'); if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?>
yay. my posts.
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
oops. no posts.
<?php endif; wp_reset_query(); ?>You can use the same idea to display only posts from a certain category (i.e…. featured)… but I’m pretty certain you can’t restrict what categories a person can post in based on user level. So that probably wouldn’t help you.

Participantupdated and uploaded.
there was a minor code change required for the file which I am using for theme options in the backend. WordPress requires unique slug, which I had not put there, so was causing issues.It was related to add_theme_options, there are no other changes.
Please either overwrite whole theme or just overwrite cosmicbuddy/theme-admin/admin.php with the new one.
both will work fine.
Thanks

SHouldn’t there be a table wp_bp_activity_sitewide on the installation? I’ve looked in the db but it’s not there. I did the default installation.

ParticipantHey,
Yes it works! I spent a while trying to uinstall it manually, but it’s actually much easier to use the plugin:
https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-prettyphoto/faq/
The css needs some cleaning up but otherwise it’s nice and works
Xevo
ParticipantYeah, but that’s not gonna work with buddypress. You need to specify that your calling a javascript function. Buddypress just sees those things as links. I doubt this is gonna work with buddypress at all if you call to the functions like that. I’m amazed it worked with wordpress.
Edit: You added the earlier code to the text? Your supposed to put it in your header either in a external javascript file or just between script tags.

ParticipantOkay I’ve resolved the problem with being able to read posts but buddypress still keels over on activation. Even though my wpmu install seems to be working perfectly I can see these errors after install – could these be causing the activation problem ? I’m a bit perplexed as the db seems like it’s built ok….

December 15, 2009 at 5:28 am #58742In reply to: User / messaging exploit? Causing spam
Arx Poetica
ParticipantWord. Patch it!
I’ve been having sign up spams (arguably a different issue) on my BP install, and just shut all signups down until I could figure out what to do about it.
Scouring the WordPress MU forums has made me realize three things:
1. Spamming is a huge problem for WordPress MU users
2. I’m betting that BuddyPress will/might have even larger problems due to the very nature of the beast (it’s all about users, right? Which is where the bots/spammers gravitate)
3. There are no sure-fire methods for preventing spammers
…well, there’s a fourth, too…
4. Many of the old hats on the WordPress MU forums are getting tired of explaining how to defend against so-called “splog” signup bots and spammers.
Just some observations, as BP just received its first official spammer. (Yes, I got the email too, and saw the small twitter firestorm this morning over it.)

Participantthanks.
you mean the discussion topics shown at the bottom of the home page.
well, I am using external bbpress with deep integration to buddypress/wordpress mu.
The topics are coming from https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-latest-discussion/ plugin.
Though, if you want to do the same using internal integration
have a look here
https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/
specifying the action as “new_forum _post” should do that.
Hope it helps
