Describe how the app would work?
I would want attendees of our conference to be able to do the following:
– Browse a schedule of seminars
– See bios of speakers
– Access files uploaded by speakers
– See a directory of other attendees
– Communicate with them, by direct message and some sort of group post
– Post to the conference’s FB page
– Send tweets with our hashtag autopopulated
That’s a decent list for starters…
groups can be used as seminars
members directory can be attendees
profiles can be bios
There is a docs plugin to shsre files
BP has private messaging
Posting to FB and twitter might require custom code. Try BuddyStream plugin
As the original poster, I would like to return to this discussion, as I am having a difficult time getting started. I’m not sure if the capability I seek is native to BP and I’m just not figuring out how to get results, or if I need plugins and haven’t found the right ones. Let’s take these one at a time:
Q: How might I create a schedule of seminars with the following components:
– Column layout to show three-across seminars for concurrent tracks
– Title, description, link to speaker bio
– Ability to favorite specific sessions and create a personal calendar.
Any help with this task would be appreciated…
