BuddyPress.org

Can you add wp, wpmu and bp widgets to this plugin and can show a demo example of wordpress widget like NextGEN Gallery?

It would be nice, but it would require some extra functionality. wordpress.com released as open source their video plugin suite, but I have yet to find anyone that has got it working Some of use are using phpmotion right now for our members which does both audio and video now. It would be nice to have something and I believe that Nicola has talked about a few solutions once Andy has a chance to put the albums into the core.

Does WordPress MU work without BuddyPress installed? If not, then you need to fix that first.

Hi folks !

The WPMU pot file exist !

You can found it here:

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/pot/mu/trunk/wordpress.pot

The file contains all the lines for wp, but also for wpmu.

I translated it in french for 2.7 beta without problems; Just take care off many plural forms who need to be translated too…

I’m looking for a bbPress translation who works. Actually, the forums are only half translated. If somebody has a solution ?

Pretty simple really:

1) Make a backup of your DB just in case you change your mind.

2) Remove anything that has prefix of bp in your /mu-plugins/ folder

3) Delete the folder /wp-content/member-themes/

4) Delete the folder /wp-content/themes/buddypress-home/

5) Delete any tables in your DB that start with the prefix bp

6) Delete the tables that are in format of wp_user_X_activity ….. Not wp_users, just those specific to BP

7) Change your main WPMU blog to use a different theme

Be prepared for hits to non-existent information if you have been hit by search engines

Really, it is just reversing what you did in the installation process. Making backups before and after are really important as you don’t want to make a mistake. It is also good practice to tell your members that you are doing it since they might have issue with the changes, or at least need to be notified.

Hope that helps.

You just remove the components that live in /mu-plugins.

Well check out this quote: “Very exciting news that Friendster, a popular social networking service with over 90 million global members, has relaunched their blog offering and selected WordPress MU. These member blogs, which are used by millions of Friendster members” So I think BP is a selections of plugins on the wordpress mu.

Therefore if wpmu expands so does BP.

What album plugin for wordpress mu do you recommend for now?

I think the error might be in your use of php_self

<form name=”search” method=”post” action=”<?=$PHP_SELF?>”>

What does the html look like when you view the page? I have a feeling it might be putting the wrong url into the form?

Also…

<input type=”text” value=”bob” name=”s” id=”s” />

Change that name and id, because “s”, is caught by wordpress and shows you a search result page:

http://ex-brief.com/?s=bob

That is a wordpress page not found result, basically.

That is why you search isn’t working.

There’s lots of different ways of doing this. You can create a plugin and then put your code in there. Call it from any wp page. You can also create a page template and put your code directly in the ‘search’ template. That’s probably what you are looking for.

Start here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates

The general idea is that all pages are created with a specific template. You create your own, probably by copying an existing page template and modifying it, and then create a page called ‘Search’ that uses that template. You build whatever functionality you want into the template.

This WPMU changeset has broken things. Working on a fix.

https://trac.mu.wordpress.org/changeset/1620

@scotm I agreee 100%. Maybe this plugin could be adapted to BuddyPress: http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/gravatar-signup/

check out this plugin:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymcecomments/

Why the need of a preview box if you have the What You See Is What You Get Editor in the same place as your visitors type in the comments?

This plugin turns the comment field from a primitive into a WYSIWYG editor, using the internal TinyMCE library bundled with WordPress 2.0 or up, without the need of another separate installation. Functions that only available to writers like adding images were removed and will not show up in the toolbar.

If you add to the mu-plugins and add this line to the end of the plugin file:

add_action(‘template_notices’, ‘mcecomment_init’);

This is only the concept, I have not tested it, and don’t have the time but wanted to point you in a direction.

If it creates a user in WordPress then it will show up in BuddyPress. BuddyPress is using the wp_users table.

How would this work for BP? does it mean a user from FB can login and start using BP or what?

So if this sixjump works can it just enable it on wordpress and it should work for BP

Best look in the WPMU forums for things (plugins) to help. Off the top of my head, some of the better ones are WP-Hashcash, Signup Question and Admin confirm new blogs. Hashcash is available at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins and the others are at http://wpmudev.org/plugins/

Loads of good ideas though in the WPMU forums and that is the best place to start looking.

Defiantly,

I have already skinned up a members theme, home theme and a host of blog themes for my users.

Its not hard at all, infact just like normal wordpress themes so expect to see a load available soon.

One thing i wish was easier was controlling the page names / urls buddy press assigns as default.

I have manually changed all references but when i upgrade my changes will be reversed

Ok Great News, changed 4 lines of Code, and get ratings working at a simple level for users.

Foldio 2 – Portable Lightbox

I took the wp-postrating plugin, normally designed to allow vistors to rate posts, and feed in the custom id of the user id. I had to bypass the area where it try’s to validate the number as a post, but overall seems to work.

Now I can take the widget and modify that to show top users, instead of top posts.

Try it out here:

Let me know what you think,

Can you clarify…does this plug-in work with BuddyPress/WPMU? The installation instructions seem to be for WordPress in general, not MU. And I saw in another forum that this plug-in breaks WPMU.

Can you verify that it works with BuddyPress? If so, can you provide installation instructions?

Thanks.
