BuddyPress.org

Hey guys,

I’m working on a new project and I’m wondering if I’ll need custom PHP to do some of the things I want and opinions on if I can do the stuff I want.

Should I have installed Buddypress on single user wordpress or WPMU if I DON’T want users to have their own blogs?

The main idea behind the site will be voting, so lets say I want users to be able to login on their facebook and vote for the next type of movie they would want to come out. Not in poll format, more of a Digg format where the suggestions with the most votes go to the top and vice versa. This would be on one page, and then users can vote on other pages of other topics with a certain amount of votes.

What are the possiblities for plugins for this, or will I be writing a lot of this myself?

Thanks for any and all advice on this!

I’ve got wordpress 3.2.1 and buddypress 1.2.9, and when a message is initially sent it only goes 1 time. But when somebody replies, it’s sent twice. Any ideas about where to look for what’s causing duplicate messages?

Hello, i am hoping someone might be able to give me some advice.

I run a website, Minecraft-central.com and i have recently installed buddypress. I have also added an additional wordpress install, with buddypress, in a subdirectory. I would like user accounts, forums, activities, groups, etc, to be shared across the sites. Mostly i just want an additional homepage for the social part of my site.

can anyone recomend a solution,

thanks

Hi All,

I was on my Admin dashboard for my wordpress 3.0.5 + buddypress page and when I tried to ‘disable’ the groups option in the Admin section, I sent my entire site offline with the following message:

Fatal error: Class ‘BP_Group_Extension’ not found in /home/privatee/public_html/wp-content/plugins/buddypress-group-css/bp-group-css.php on line 81

Through FTP, I tried to re-upload the buddypress-group-css plugin over top the one in question, but no such luck.

For now my site is under maintenance.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Steve

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME. I installed wordpress/buddypress. Problem is that when I try to log into my site through zone2x.com I get the following error message: Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server. Web Server at zone2x.com.

But I can get into the site through zone2x.com/index.php but when I try to return to the home page from any other page I get the same error.

Pls note that the index.php file is right there at the root directory, I can see it through ftp.

I think the problem is with the permalink. When permalink is at default permalink the browser can see index.php and everything is ok except that buddypress can not work with the default permalink. Once I change permalink as requested by buddypress I can no longer log into the site from the browser.

Someone, help am desperate. My site is still http://www.zone2x.com.

I was looking for a simple forums plugin to add to a wordpress site and initially I tried bbPress, which seemed to meet my requirements very well.

Unfortunately when I discovered that it lacked private messaging, I was pointed in the direction of BuddyPress with the instruction to install it and then turn off any extras that I don’t need.

I’ve installed it, it works okay, so now I need to ‘turn off the extra bits’ – this is the part I need help with!

A bit of background about the site, it’s going to be support for patients receiving medical treatment, so they can discuss their treatment with other patients and also send private messages with their clinician.

As these people may not be too computer-savvy, it needs to be as simple as possible to use, with all unnecessary features turned off / hidden.

Also, as it’s discussing sensitive information it needs to be as anonymous as possible, so real names, avatars, identifying information etc, needs to be kept hidden.

I’ve looked and can’t find a general guide to ‘cutting down’ BuddyPress, the administration is quite limited to what is hidden and shown, so I presume I may have to go on a function by function basis.

Here’s the list of things which I would like to remove:

1. Real Names
2. Avatars (remove display of them all and options to change)
3. Only admin can create groups
4. Think the random ‘visit’ on top right of the bar might be confusing
5. Search box in the BuddyPress pages – is this duplicating the searchbox in the main site navigation?
6. I’m also little unsure of whether the Activities / Members / Groups / Forums navigation also unnecessarily duplicates the top admin bar. If I was just to have one link to go straight into the most important page, would it be ‘Groups’ for me?

If there is a guide to removing some of these things, please let me know, if not, I would appreciate help on a step by step basis!

Thanks
Ashley
