The latest is always available at: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-community-blogs/

It’s a premium plugin and works fine: http://premium.wpmudev.org/project/set-password-on-wordpress-mu-blog-creation

Not sure if it will help anyone but I’ll post it anyway.

I really wanted to launch my BP site with facebook integration AND Invite facebook Friends as well. And given that Andy said he will probably not be working on the BP Facebook Connect pluggin, well.. I made a rough workaround that did the job.

Hope it helps.

Requirements:

– You need to have BP-Facebook Connect installed.

– You need to have Exec-PHP plugin installed.

– You need to have Exclude Pages plugin installed (optional)

Step 1:

==================================

First, I made a new file called invitefriends.php. I put it the root directory of BP.. but you can place it anywhere you want and take care of the paths. This is the code (not sure if it will get throught the parsing functions of this forum… my apologies in advance if it doesn’t):

<?php

$root = dirname(__FILE__); // repeat dirname( as many times as folders levels you save this file… For instance: if you save it in wp-content, it should be dirname(dirname(__FILE__));

if (file_exists($root.’/wp-load.php’)) {

// WP 2.6

require_once($root.’/wp-load.php’);

} else {

// Before 2.6

require_once($root.’/wp-config.php’);

}

if (function_exists(‘fbc_facebook_client’)) {

// if the current user is a facebook user, show his/her friends…

$fbuid = fbc_facebook_client()->get_loggedin_user();

if ($fbuid) { ?>

<fb:serverfbml style=”width: 100%;”>

<script type=”text/fbml”>

<fb:fbml>

<fb:request-form

action=”<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>”

method=”GET”

invite=”true”

type=”<?php echo get_option(‘blogname’); ?>”

content=”<?php echo get_option(‘blogname’).” : “.get_option(‘blogdescription’); ?>

<fb:req-choice url='<?php echo get_option(‘siteurl’); ?>’

label='<?php _e(‘Become a member!’, ‘mt_trans_domain’) ?>’ />”>

<fb:multi-friend-selector

showborder=”false”

actiontext=”<?php _e(‘Select the friends you want to invite.’, ‘mt_trans_domain’) ?>”>

</fb:request-form>

</fb:fbml>

</script>

</fb:serverfbml>

<?php } else {

// If s/he is not a facebook user, tell him/her s/he has to be one in order to invite friends.

echo __( ‘Tienes que haber ingresado como un usuario Facebook para poder invitar amigos.’, ‘mt_trans_domain’ );

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if (!$user->ID) {

// if s/he is not a facebook neighter a site member yet… show the Facebook login button.

echo ‘

<fb:login-button size=”large” background=”dark” length=”long”></fb:login-button>’;

}

}

}

?>

==================================

Step 2:

– Create a new page, named it whatever you want (I name it Invite Facebook Friends, in spanish).

– Exclude this page from the front-page (using the Exclude-Page plugin)

The code of my page looks like this:

<?php

if (function_exists(‘fbc_facebook_client’)) {

// if the current user is a facebook user, load invitefriends.php into an IFRAME.

$fbuid = fbc_facebook_client()->get_loggedin_user();

if ($fbuid) { ?>

<iframe width=”100%” height=”700″ frameborder=”no” src=”invitefriends.php”></iframe>

<?php } else {

// If s/he is not a facebook user, tell s/him he has to be in order to invite friends.

echo ‘<p>Tienes que haber ingresado como un usuario Facebook para poder invitar amigos.’;

$user = wp_get_current_user();

if (!$user->ID) {

// If s/he is not a facebook nor a member… show her/him the facebook button.

echo ‘

<fb:login-button size=”large” background=”dark” length=”long”></fb:login-button>’;

}

echo ‘</p>’;

}

}

?>

==================================

As you can it is a extermelly rough approach… but I’m not a WordPress developer nor a WPMU one… nor a BP one… I’m not familiar with the plugin framework of WordPress so I tried to do my best.

I hope it helps.

2) Buddypress Trunk 1281 (does not work with RC-1)

3) BP-fbconnect.zip Plugin and activate Facebook Developer API key.

Download:

1) WordPress MU version 2.7.1: https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/browser/branches/2.7

2) Buddypress Trunk 1281: https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/

probably should poke them about it, oh and you could always apply that patch to your local install in the interim.

Hi Smdnizam,

BuddyPress is built on WordPress MU which in turn is built on WordPress. The root cause of this bug is in WordPress. Until WordPress and WordPress MU apply a fix, it won’t appear fixed in BuddyPress.

Ah, okay – now it’s on https://buddypress.org/extend/plugins/ as “Welcome Pack” (or you can go to https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/welcome-pack/).

When I set up BBPress (go to step 3) – Finish BBPress. Error show

Your installation completed with some minor errors. See the error log below for more specific information.

>>> WordPress “auth” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “auth” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

>>>>>> You will need to manually define the “auth” cookie salt in your database.

>>> WordPress “logged in” cookie salt not set.

>>>>>> Could not fetch “logged in” cookie salt from the WordPress options table.

Please help me

If you want all blog posts to show up on the main blog then you are looking for donncha’s sitewide tags plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

Your member’s individual blog pagination depends on the theme they are using. It’s the theme’s responsibility. Am I understanding you correctly about ‘member blogs page’? Maybe not.

I have found the answer of your question in this forum after searching 2 days….below is the answer

You’ll have to install donncha’s sitewide tags plugin. It takes all blog posts from all blogs and puts them either on a ‘community’ blog that gets created for that purpose or you can have all blog posts go to the main blog.

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-sitewide-tags/

I have used that plugin and I could bring all my blog post into the main blog…

Was waiting until I could get this on to the official WordPress plugin directory, but:

svn co http://svn.dangerous-minds.com/djpaul/welcome-pack/trunk/

That does Default Friend and Default Group. A later version will have Default Welcome Message (guess what that does..).

also, what if you can benefit from this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/

but make it work for MU and for buddypress sso that the rating will add point to the users’ tokens or karma…. and so on..

How about something for the site admin. A few ideas. A blog clone plugin. Setup one or more clone blogs including plugin settings, then depending on the role, group or whatever of the new user it would clone the blog with all the setting, menu, etc. already setup. This would of course go great with a true role-manager for wpmu that could create site-wide roles, or edit the site-wide rights of any of the roles. Which used with a wpmu specific adminimize plugin that would recognize not just the old roles, but newly created ones too and then set the menus site-wide for each of the roles (or if we can clone blogs, at least would recognize newly created roles). This would be great for educational or setups that want to charge for extras (although I guess these are kind of wpmu ideas, but still very relevant to buddypress too.

Another tack would be to create some educational plugins for quizzes somewhat like Moodle without Moodles rigid structure. (But those are more WordPress specific rather than buddypress) although buddypress with individual eduacational spaces for each student, but sitewide feeds of grades to teachers would be great. And schools need the free stuff with money hard to come by from administration types who think computers are just big calculators for adding up costs.

And yes, I definitely agree about the privacy issue.

Lots of great ideas above all the best in making your choice and best of luck at GSoC.

Download the ZIP directly do your hard drive, and then use your favorite FTP program to upload its files to your wp-content/mu-plugins directory.

Then follow the instructions:

@ Andy: Nice new feature! Will such function also be available for the recent blog posts widget, say at least to switch between the newest entries and the mots popular ones?

We need more filter to organize the content, members and groups! WordPress.com shows how to do it!

Anyway, thanks so much for this great WPMU Plugins!

No problem, Fernando.

Did you read this post? https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=11046

Produlz,

It sounds like a WordPress MU installation issue (not a BuddyPress issue).

If you suspect a problem please report it to the support forums but you must include the information asked for in the WPMU bug reporting guidelines!

There’s lots of threads on this very topic at https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/tags.php?tag=installation.

In youre wordpress mu, there’s a part of VHOSTS, you can set that to “NO”. So you get a directory based setup. And if you set it to “YES” then you get a subdomain setup.

The last thing needs a DNS wildcard in youre host his DNS setup.

And in the Apache configuration add the following line in virtual domain setting:

ServerAlias *.youre-domain.com

But most webhosting companies dont allowed you to do so, so i suggest that you will use a directory based setup

Suc6!
