BuddyPress.org

Nicola, what is it you are looking for? A personal blog for each user? I think this is a good idea also. Actually I’d like to extend that concept to group blogs also. Blogs need to be more integrated into the bp framework.

Every member needs a blog and every group needs a blog all integrated into the theme like the wire and forums. My next little project, when I get time, will be to create a ‘Group Blog’ plugin that allows a blog admin to configure their blog as a ‘Group Blog’. This will allow instant author/contributor status to specific Groups.

Then I need to modify the member theme to integrate Blogs into it like the Forums are integrated. Not going to have time til after the 1st of the year though.

bp-status? Never heard about this. But isn’t BuddyPress wire has the same function as status?

Speaking about personal blog for each user, I think we had gone through this before. Every signed up user once got his/her default profile page in subdomain that acts like a blog. Then Andy made some modifications and threw then away.

With regard to the title: “Feature that MUST be included in next version for me..”

I’m in need of event listing. And if we look at how Facebook manage their event list, I think a pseudo-blog would also be a good base to build on. A “blog” that is open to any member to post and comment. The blog post is the event description. The blog custom field can hold specific informations: venue, RSVP, speaker, etc. The category system, tagging, etc. All is perfect, I think. Then we exclude/hide it someway so it’s not considered someone’s blog–to differentiate it with the real blogs.

Anyway, we’re all used to develop WordPress into anything we need aren’t we? 😆

@nicolagreco I think it looks like the same with the earlier version facebook status (without the status comment system)

In the previous revisions, buddypress hold each profile page as blogs. It’s not blog, it’s profile page but use the database structure like a blog. I came here in the end part of that stage of BP. I’m not sure the whole structure behind it.

I suppose an “internal blog” for buddypress plugin

similar to wire, with simple post and comment

and not a “redirect” on complete wordpress blog

is right?

What’s actually interesting is I believe there was an image posted a few weeks back showing that something like this blog idea was part of the first mock-ups for BP.

I spent some time creating a theme for blogs that would look like the rest of my site, to at least give the appearance of a closely integrated blog if not the actual function of one.

Hey, Roy-

I’m currently working on the BP Privacy Component. You can read a little more about its status here. It is a very hush, hush, secret project–as you might expect for a privacy project!

Hello, I for one second the idea of profile or group blogs which can be more integrated

(either through the profile or group page, or a profile / group widget through the blog.)

Nicola, did i see something which achieved

or moved towards something like this in the BP DEV Plugins?

Please let me know.
