BuddyPress.org

This script is most likely out of date with WPMU. Post a comment to the developer of the script in the link in the OP.

Also, a kind reminder about the Domain Policy.

wolfapache9516, I will like to know how you resolve this. I see that your buddypress theme is fine now.

just buy a bag of buns

there are quite a few wordpress plugins for extending user profiles…

i once used cimy extra user fields for a project, and it worked fine for my purposes. it looks like there are a bunch of options nowadays.

this sounds great.

unfortunately i must be doing something stupid.

i renamed the .txt to .php and dropped it in my wp-admin dir (though i also tried the blog root). nothing seems to be happening. anything else i’m supposed to do?

i thought perhaps i needed to specify which hooks to listen to, but can’t find where i’d do that within the script.

any chance that it broke with BP 1.1.1 ?

bug bug bug ?

themes not working for other registered users as wordpress mu do no user theme no name on and url on page its look like work well with only one admin user and his group but if some one want to make own them and blogs and even like this http://mahi.buddyin.com no other than home page and plugin only working !!! what if any one want to open website like me for everyone who want to register his own blogin and grouping page

Thanks you very much David !

I have just changed the settings and it works fine !

@Erich73: Um… just change your WordPress discussion settings in the dashboard.

so how to adjust the settings in a way that “unregistered users” and “not-logged-in users” are not able to post a comment to my main-blog at all ? Only registered and logged-in-users are able to comment ?

Do I need to install a plug-in for this simple feature ?

thanks !

This might help you further.

And why take the social out of a social community plugin..?

Oh, I failed to mention Will Norris, who already wrote an OpenID plugin for WordPress, which works pretty good, but seems to be missing a few key features.

There’s some talk of integrating OpenID into the core of WP, but there’s also disagreement on this. With BuddyPress putting it on the iteration roadmap, this may change people’s minds in the long run as they realize how Identity *IS* the platform (the core) of the Internet.

I won’t be using all the components, but I expect my design to be complex like Gigaom and Tastykitchen. I actually found BP looking for a suitable extended profile plugin to no avail. Alkivia is close, but some features have been “under development” for quite awhile in WordPress time.

I will have a single blog setup so no extra blogs and I’m trying to keep the use of “wires” to a minimum as it can get out of hand quickly.

New thread? What? I can see only wordpressfan’s post above yours…..

@Tore

cool, glad it helps…

i imagine that any time someone isn’t logged in, they will all go to the same place… you don’t know if they’re returning and not logged in yet, or if they’ve never been to the site before and need extra info.

so the splash page should be the login page, it seems.

what if you just modified the login page to make it look like a more welcoming splash page?

if you don’t want to put your own stuff directly into the core files, and i guess that’s a LAST, LAST resort, then you can add things to the login page using the related actions and filters. i’m going to have to do this in my next project actually, so thanks for asking:)

here’s a tutorial that looks about right. looks kosher on first glance:)

http://www.thinkinginwordpress.com/2008/12/customized-wordpress-login-page-plugin/

basically, you can use it to inject HTML, or load up some jquery or whatever you want, and then you can CSS the crap out of everything. if you’re having problems with the default wordpress CSS taking precedence, you can always use the !important CSS attribute.

…

and i just noticed actually that the code above needs a small tweak. it was breaking the flash uploader for posts somehow. bad bad.

so, i needed to add an if statement to the catch_anons function. replace the whole function with this one:

function catch_anons(){

if ( !is_admin() ){		//		if it's the admin area, it already checks

//		( and the following breaks the flash uploader )

global $user_ID;

get_currentuserinfo();



$login_page = get_bloginfo('url') .'/wp-login.php';



if ( '' == $user_ID && strrpos( curPageURL(), $login_page)===false ) {



$redirect = "?redirect_to=" . urlencode(curPageURL());



header( 'Location:' . $login_page . $redirect  );

die();

}

}

}

add_action('init','catch_anons');

cool. hope it works out for you.

I think this could be what you need:

http://wpml.org/wordpress-translation/buddypress-multilingual/

You should never modify the parent theme. When you update buddypress and with it the parent theme all your modifications will be lost.

A good tutorial source for PHP and WP is net.tutsplus.com. And of course the codex here and on wordpress.org. As for writing functions, you do that exactly like I referenced in the comment above.

I installed the plugin for testing purpose and I didn’t like it at all.

The chat software it self is nice stuff.

Build by https://blueimp.net/ajax/

I daunt like to have advertising stuff integrated. And there is add-sense in this Plugin.

I think this is not the finest way of making money.

If you want to test it, you need to install the chat client too.

For me it look like you just installed the plugin.

Go to the plugin directory. There must be a directory chat. Go in there and read the readme file.

After you fallow the instillation process of the chat software.

You will be able to chat and the Page will show up.

You will need to enter your mysql connection information.

I don’t know, but I think it is the best not to use the wordpress database for this.

Actually it is not a plugin and has nothing to do with wordpress it self.

The chat has its own connection to the db.

If you make a new group and join user(s) into it, does this problem reoccur? If it does, try to deactivate all plugins other than BuddyPress and make a new group and try again. If it doesn’t reoccur, then it’s a conflict with a plugin.

I have read recently of problems with feedwordpress + BuddyPress, so there’s an incompatibility somewhere (if indeed feedwordpress works with WPMU).

I’m inclined to thing this is a problem from the Groupblogs plugin, but let me know what happens when you test the above.

The best way to start with a theme for BP is to start off with the bp-default theme. Then copy files across from the bp-sn-parent theme if you need to modify a file. If not, then you can leave that file in bp-sn-parent, cause WP will get that automatically for you.

Of course, you can add all the functions later. The codex here is a great starting point on what functions are available to you. You can also go through the bp-sn-parent theme and have a look what’s in there and move it across, if you don’t want to use a parent/child theme structure.

You can place div#search-login-bar anywhere you like.

do_action functions cannot be reversed. They happen at exactly that spot in the template files. There’s so many, though, that you won’t have a problem finding one that suits your needs. Basically, you can write some custom functionality and add that to a certain hook by calling the add_action function. Here’s an example.

Somewhere in a template you might have this:

do_action( 'your_action_name' );

Then in your theme’s functions.php file you could put the following:

function your_function_name()

{

//some stuff happens here

}

add_action( 'your_action_name', 'your_function_name' );

That’s basically it. Sometimes the action passes along a variable with which you can then work.

Hope this helps you along a bit. The codex at wordpress.org is pretty extensive as well and you’ll find loads of stuff on actions.

Hi Marius,

Do you have a Demo-website online to test your plug-in ?

Another thing: is there a chance to have something like the following, but not on a Group-Blog, but just a normal User-Blog ?
