BuddyPress.org

I wonder how tough it would be to use the same “Add Media” buttons that WordPress uses for it’s Quickpress thing. That seems like the ideal solution to me.

And a “post to wire” bookmarklet, same as the WordPress “Press This” but with a Friends selector. Hmmm

MD5 passwords will still work with WordPress, but they will be less secure.

You could try upgrading your site to MU but, personally, I would simply wait for the WP version of BuddyPress to arrive.

My guesstimate is that Andy will aim to coincide with the release of WP 2.8, currently scheduled for the beginning of April put will probably get pushed back to the middle of the month. He has said that the non-MU version of BP is almost ready to roll but I guess he wants to see how the release of the MU version goes first and, obviously, he isn’t going to release for 2.7 with 2.8 so close.

bp doesn’t control how or if registration emails are sent. It relies on wp to do that. It depends on your host and if you have wpmu configured properly. I signed up with your site and didn’t get an email either. So it’s not just you. Try the wpmu forums for help. https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/

Its an online art installation.

1) Think of a question, and type it in.

2) Pick up to three wooden boxes from the gallery floor.

3) The photo of the ordinary object inside represents the answer to your question.

4) Save your sandbox results and share them.

And soon the Results will go to my Buddypress profiles, not the old Vanilla ones.

(Buddypress is what inspired me to return to WordPress, after deserting to Vanilla.)

I’m even learning to code a little!

Thanks BP,

Amber

How hard do you think integrating BuddyPress into a site already running WP would be? Would it just be a matter of inserting php tags into where you would like certain features to appear? Or would it mean redesigning a whole theme so that it would work with BuddyPress?

I’m not much of a coder, but I know my way around. About how hard do you think integration with a WP theme would be?

i say…wait. BuddyPress will be released for WordPress (not MU) in a near future. I cannot say when, but the developers are working on this.

Here’s one option:

I used advance excerpt Plugin https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-excerpt/

Activate and set the excerpt word number.

and place the <?php the_advanced_excerpt(); ?> in the index.php

This works for me.

I am trying this plug too http://www.dailyblogtips.com/homepage-excerpts-wordpress-plugin/

You should ask johnjamesjacoby about this migrate issue. He’s done something like that recently. I think the answer is you need to export your data, using phpmyadmin or with the native export/import tool in wp.

http://www.techtraction.com/2007/07/30/move-or-backup-wordpress-data-with-the-built-in-importexport-feature/

Lots of stuff if you google ‘wordpress export’, ‘wordpress import’

Wow, this is Codex worthy if you ask me. Good find Burt.

I found a solution, but I’m not a PHP programmer, It’s a hack of the code of this topic https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=5930

Let’s go only if you are using the lasted trunk:

Open the mu-plugins/bp-blogs/bp-blogs-templatetags.php – Find this code starting at line 682 end at 696

<?php printf(__("By filling out the form below, you can <strong>add a blog to your account</strong>. There is no limit to the number of blogs you can have, so create to your heart's content, but blog responsibly.", 'buddypress'), $current_user->display_name) ?>



<?php _e("If you’re not going to use a great blog domain, leave it for a new user. Now have at it!", 'buddypress') ?>



<form id="setupform" method="post" action="<?php echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug . '/create-a-blog' ?>">



<input type="hidden" name="stage" value="gimmeanotherblog" />

<?php do_action( "signup_hidden_fields" ); ?>

<?php bp_blogs_signup_blog($blogname, $blog_title, $errors); ?>



<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" class="submit" value="<?php _e('Create Blog &raquo;', 'buddypress') ?>" />



<?php wp_nonce_field( 'bp_blog_signup_form' ) ?>

</form>

Replace using this newbie code:

// One Blog Only HACK START

<?php $blogscheck = get_blogs_of_user($current_user->ID);

$blogarrayvalue = (get_object_vars($blogscheck[1]));

$blogsiteURL = "http://locutorpro.com.br";

if ($blogarrayvalue[siteurl] == $blogsiteURL)

{

echo "";

printf(__("By filling out the form below, you can <strong>add a blog to your account</strong>.", 'buddypress'), $current_user->display_name);

echo "

";

printf(__("If you’re not going to use a great blog domain, leave it for a new user. Now have at it!", 'buddypress'));

echo "

";

echo "<form id='setupform' method='post' action='";

echo $bp->loggedin_user->domain . $bp->blogs->slug ;

echo "/create-a-blog'>";

echo "<input type='hidden' name='stage' value='gimmeanotherblog' />";

echo do_action( "signup_hidden_fields" );

echo bp_blogs_signup_blog($blogname, $blog_title, $errors);

echo "<input id='submit' type='submit' name='submit' class='submit' value='";

printf(__("Create Blog &raquo;"));

echo "' />

";			echo wp_nonce_field( 'bp_blog_signup_form' );

echo "</form>";

}

else

{

printf(__("Sorry, you can have 1 blog only.", 'buddypress'));

}

?>

// One Blog Only HACK END

I hope it help!

Thank you for all dev team!

Very cool and useful — thanks.

Cool! Thanks burt

You could wait the integration of bp in wp,

or (i think it’s better) you could try copying some tables in your new mu install:

example:

copy wp_users to wp_users

wp_postmeta to wp_1_postmeta

wp_posts to wp_1_posts

etc etc..

that’s a bit difficult to do, maybe others could help you better than me..

unfortunately this did not work for me, i’d also like to use one wpmu install and run multiple separate domains with buddypress on a subdomain and bbpress, using the inove theme.

see my post on wpmu forum

https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=11695#post-70149

Thank you for your reply. As I noted earlier, I’m already running a WordPress blog network with active members. Incidentally, the README.txt file for WordPress actually uses the directory /blogs as an example:

* If you want to have your WordPress MU installation in its own

subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blogs/),

rename the directory wordpressmu to the name you’d like the

subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server.

For example if you want the WordPress MU installation in a

subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called

“wordpressmu” to “blogs” and upload it to the root directory of your

web server.

I imagine this may be a problem for others who went in this direction. Are you saying that those of us in this situation are out of luck with BuddyPress unless we reinstall and try to import all of our users’ blogs into the new site?

Thanks again, I do appreciate your time on this.

get_bloginfo(‘wpurl’).”/wp-admin/profile.php

should be replaced with a call to: bp_core_get_userurl($bp->loggedin_user->id) which is the url to the currently logged in user. You’ll have to declare ‘global $bp;’ someplace before that in the code.

Sounds like a job for wpmu forums. It would really get more attention there from those people who have lots of wpmu experience: https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/

Is there any way to get the WordPress Plugin “advanced axcerpt” to work here?

Hi Kelly,

Each blog uses it’s own theme so you will need to write your own actions to do this similar to https://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=8041 and http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic.php?id=653 would be my guess.

there is a way to edit the users data, i have a plugin installed that allows you to go to users and then click a link and it logs you in as the selected user, obviously this means you can edit thier profile, the link only shows up for the site admin

the plugin is: user switching – https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-switching/

the only annoyance is that once you switch users it means you must login again to get back to admin or watever, i.e. it doesnt allow switching back and forth between accounts

it does help greatly though, hope this helps you
