BuddyPress.org

When I migrated my site over from WordPress.org, I ran a loop through the users and just copied over the nicename for each one of them.

Yes, I’d like more group functionality and this is obviously a big one! These plugins could be starting points:

Private Files

File Uploader 1.0 Beta

Custom Upload Dir

Haven’t looked into any of these in detail…

Here’s a start to get you part way there:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-blogs-per-user/

Note: I have no idea whether this plugin works with newer versions of WPMU and BP

Also, you could modify the code found here:

https://buddypress.org/forums/topic/limit-amount-of-blogs-a-user-can-register

Well,Now you can.You can allow your users to set their own password at signup.

I just created this plugin for you all .have a look here

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Hi There

I have installed the buddypress bar for the forums . But i am not getting any link displaying, just the css, the actual buddypress menus are not there.

Click here for the forums

Click here for the wordpress install

We have used the deep integration and i have added the lines to my bb-config.php, the path to the file is correct.

I have added the two functions ie

add_action( 'bb_head', 'bp_core_add_js' );

add_action( 'bb_admin_head', 'bp_core_add_js');

You can ignore the “invite new member” link on the top right hand side, its just a div postioned as absolute.

There are several commercial plugins that create membership levels. You’d probably need custom code to connect the levels to the functionality you describe.

If you figure it out, let me know.

Or contact me if you want to pool resources.

twdsje, by the sound of it, I’m guessing you’re using the default WordPress MU home theme.

You can choose a different theme you know!

Do you even have BuddyPress installed?

If you do, select the BuddyPress home theme or some other WordPress theme in the WPMU admin area and you’ll see something entirely different.

That’s the beauty of themes!

I took a very quick look at the OpenInviter website. They state that it is Open Source yet they do not provide any link to their licensing information.

Also, there is no code repository, it is not clear exactly what the code does, and you have to provide personal information to get the code. This does not indicate open source to me.

The site offers some sort of a WordPress Plugin, but I doubt that it is released under GPL which is a violation of the WordPress GPL license.

So, you are on your own if you want to use it, but I’d recommend steering clear of OpenInviter.

As far as I know, there isn’t such a plugin for BP, however there are some for MU.

Did a quick Google search; here’s two promising solutions:

1) https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/1659

2) http://plugins.paidtoblog.com/wpmu-power-tools/

Just wanted to reiterate that none of these take care of BP though… so you might want to keep this under consideration.

You need to learn CSS and basic WordPress theming skills. Below you will find a few links to get you started.

Also, since your issue has nothing to do with the proper functioning of BuddyPress, I’m changing the topic indicator to “not a support question”.

1. https://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout#Themes_and_Templates
2. http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp
3. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/using-the-buddypress-themes/
4. You should use Firefox with the Firebug Add-on. It is a great tool that not only allows you to find out within which files certain CSS selectors are located, but also to temporarily change them and see what impact they have on the design.

First things first, do you have WPMU 2.71 running correctly before you try and install BuddyPress?

Secondly, try manually installing BuddyPress by downloading the .ZIP file from the WordPress plugins repository (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress/).

Do not trust the automatic installer! Put the entire contents of the folder in /wp-content/plugins/ and then login to the WPMU admin area’s plugins page and activate.

Let us know what happens.

You are running the single-user version of WordPress–most likely WP 2.8. BuddyPress will not work with single-user WP.

You must run WordPress Multiuser (aka WPMU or WordPress Mu) which can be downloaded from this link: https://mu.wordpress.org/download/

Here’s the code I use in the current version of my site – Kunal17 asked about it:

// Include the SimplePie library

require_once 'simplepie.inc';

require_once 'shorten.php';



// Because we're using multiple feeds, let's just set the headers here.

header('Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8');



// These are the feeds we want to use

mysql_connect(localhost,$db_username,$db_password);

@mysql_select_db($db_name) or die( "Unable to select database");



$query = "SELECT id, email, firstname, surname, rssfeed FROM members WHERE rssfeed != ''";

$result = mysql_query($query);



$feeds = array();

$id_array = array();

$first = array();

$user = array();



$userinfo = array();



while ($cur_feed = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))

{

$feeds[] = $cur_feed['rssfeed'];

$userinfo[$cur_feed['rssfeed']] = $cur_feed;

}



// This array will hold the items we'll be grabbing.

$first_items = array();



// Let's go through the array, feed by feed, and store the items we want.

$ix = 0;



foreach ($feeds as $url)

{

$user_id = $id_array[$ix];

$firstname = $first[$ix];

$surname = $sur[$ix];

$email = $user[$ix];

$ix++;



// Use the long syntax

$feed = new SimplePie();

$feed->set_feed_url($url);

$feed->init();



// How many items per feed should we try to grab?

$items_per_feed = 1;



// As long as we're not trying to grab more items than the feed has, go through them one by one and add them to the array.

for ($x = 0; $x < $feed->get_item_quantity($items_per_feed); $x++)

{

$first_items[] = $feed->get_item($x);

}



// We're done with this feed, so let's release some memory.

unset($feed);

}



// We need to sort the items by date with a user-defined sorting function.  Since usort() won't accept "SimplePie::sort_items", we need to wrap it in a new function.

function sort_items($a, $b)

{

return SimplePie::sort_items($a, $b);

}



// Now we can sort $first_items with our custom sorting function.

usort($first_items, "sort_items");



$counter=0;

foreach($first_items as $item)

{

$feed = $item->get_feed();

$info = $userinfo[$item->feed->feed_url];



$counter++;

if($counter >= 7)

break;



if ($img_size = @getimagesize('members/img/avatars/'.$info['id'].'.jpg'))

$avatar_field = '<img src="members/img/avatars/'.$info['id'].'.jpg" alt="" />';

else

$avatar_field = '<img src="members/img/avatars/nopicture.png" alt="" />';



$picture = '<div id="feedpicture"><a href="members/member.php?id='.$info['id'].'" title="'.$info['firstname'].'\'s Member Page">'.$avatar_field.'</a></div>';



// Begin the (X)HTML page.

?>



<h3><?php echo $picture; ?><a href="<?php echo $item->get_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo html_entity_decode($item->get_title(), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?></a></h3>



<!-- get_content() prefers full content over summaries -->

<? echo trim(substr((str_replace("\n", ' ', str_replace("\r", ' ', strip_tags($item->get_description())))),0,300)); ?>

... <i>more</i></a><br />



<p class="info"><a href="members/member.php?id=<?php echo $info['id']; ?>" title="<?php echo $info['firstname'].'\'s Member Page'; ?>"><?php echo $info['firstname'].' '.$info['surname']; ?></a> | <a href="<?php echo $feed->get_permalink(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $feed->get_title(); ?></a> | <?php echo $item->get_date('M j, Y | g:i a'); ?></p>

<br />



<?php

}

?>

It shows the latest blog posts from members on a page, if they have an RSS feed in the database. It uses SimplePie. The code above is customized from regular SimplePie feed code. Member management in my current site is based on PunBB, not WordPress.

I’d have no clue how to modify this code for Buddypress. Can’t figure out member management in Buddypress for starters, with x-profile vs wpmu and similar data stored in different places. It all looks kinda messy and inconsistent to me.

Doubtful you should take this as starting point. I’ll wait for the integrated solution.

We need a “global language filter” for all content, depending on what the user set as his preferred language in the wp-admin.

WordPress.com has such an language filter. You can choose “preferred language” and will be redirected to f.i. to de.wordpress.com (only content of people who set up their language and blog-language to german) or es.wordpress.com (only spanish).

Anyone also interested?

@Grosbouff: Maybe we should add this feature request as an official ticket?

I agree with Burt. My three questions and suggestions were going to be this:

1. Are you running WPMU 2.7.1 or WordPress 2.8? You mention that you were running WPMU before. Did you upgrade to the beta version of WPMU 2.8 from trunk? Or, did you accidentally upgrade to WP 2.8? WPMU 2.8 is not yet in public release.
2. What other plugins besides BP do you have activated? Have you tried removing them all except BP and see if you can get back to the plugins page?
3. Have you tried removing BP and then seeing if the plugins page returns? If it does, then deactivate all other plugins and reinstall BP. What happens?

You probably need this plugin. It’s an annoying WPMU issue.
