    Hi everyone!

    I’m a german WordPress and BuddyPress user so please forgive me my english 🙂

    I’m trying so make a share Button for my BP Community like Facebook, Twitter an G+ have one. For this I need an extra Site only with the post-form. I want so send the Link of another Site via php post and integrate it into thme post-form-field.

    My question now is: How can I add a new site to my BP Community with the post-form?

    I was searching the lays days some solutions for this problem but didn’t find anything.

    Best regards

    Robert

    @robertne,

    installing an extra site just for sharing posts is somehow a big task for… nothing and requires a multisite install. Made it simple ! Share your RSS feed…

    Sorry If i misunderstand you. If the goal is to ADD an external link to your posts, you can create a custom post type for that or simply paste the link into a post.

    If this is also not what you want, explain what kind of post, from where and how your members should use a sharing button. Even if BuddyPress doesn’t handle posts, he only shows them.

    Also you can read some related forum topics here:

    You need to explain more about what you are trying to accomplish.

    Hi everyone!

    My aim is to add a “share button” into different sites just like available on facebook,g+ and twitter. For example:

    A user is on a site with a tutorial and wants to share the link of the site on my buddypress page. Now I want to give the admin of the site a code for a button which will put the visitor on an extra site on which he can share the link on the mentioned buddypress-site.

    For this I thought about giving the link via php and the post or get-form. What I want to know now is: How can I add a single site only with the posting-form of buddypress and take the passed link into the form?

    The Process of my idea is the following:

    1. A user is on a site with my “share button”
    2. If he pushes this button the link of the site will be copy and
    paste in a new opened site into the post-formular of buddypress
    3. Now the user can post the link on my buddypress site if he is logged in. Otherwise he
    will get an option to log-in with his user account

    Thank you for your answer @danbp I will try to make a new site by using the custom post type form of wordpress.

    Best Regards

    Robert

    Before starting custom work, perhaps give a try to buddypress links plugin.

    Ok, the plugin is nice to insert video and picture of posted links on buddypress. But how can I add an extra site (only with the post-form) on that the user will be forwarded if he wants to share a link?
    I don’t want that the user has to copy and paste a link from other sites. My goal is to give him a share button which takes this. You will help me if you give me a hint how can I add an extra site on my wordpress blog only with the post-form of buddypress.

    I need the code for this site because I want to paste the link of the external site by using php (http://www.tizag.com/phpT/postget.php). Do you know what I want to realize? 🙂

    PS: I don’t understand how I should us the custom-type-form of wordpress for my idea. Because I didn’t know how I can insert the post-type into a custome-post-type. But if you say that this is the only way I will search for some more tutorials.

    Best regards

    Robert

    Sorry, i don’t understand what you want to do.

    how can I add an extra site on my wordpress blog only with the post-form of buddypress ?

    I (and many others here) probably could answer to this:
    – how can I add an extra site on my wordpress blog

    But not to this:
    – only with the post-form of buddypress.

    What do you mean by buddypress post-form ? Where is this post form ?
    What is the relation between the mentionned php lesson and BP ? I know what is a form, but do YOU know where the form content may go once the form action was applied ? And if a user inject crap, what will happen to your site ?

    PHP technique and BuddyPress are 2 separates things, even if the one use the other (and inversely), but at this stage, you don’t need php technique, but to explain clearer or, simplier, to give a living example used elswhere.

    This is not enough:
    I’m trying so make a share Button for my BP Community like Facebook, Twitter an G+ have one.
    Still exist as plugin (…and a wide selection !)

    But the following is absolutely incomprehensible to me: For this I need an extra Site And what you explained here also. Sorry.

    Grabing external content to add into a blog post is full part of WordPress.
    Tools > PressThis. Apparently not what you want to use…

    But if i follow you, members from YOUR site have a share button (where is this button anyway ?)
    and when they are on another site, they can share interesting content on YOUR site.

    This is how internet is working (at least)….

    To do this, most people copy the url and paste it into a post.
    Or use a browser tool and add the link to their favorites,
    or use a share button who works only inside the community they belong. (FB, Twitter, BuddyPress, und so weiter…)

    Two hypotheses:
    you’re ignoring that you’re able to build the absolute revolutionnary BuddyPress sharing plugin (and it’s not for tomorrow if you’re in the beginner’s stage) – prefer to learn WordPress internal behaviour and use existing functions instead.

    or you try to reinvent the wheel (oder noch besser gesagt, ein überkompliziertes werkzeug). Sorry again. 😉

    Hi

    sorry for answering so late. I now understand what the problem in my explanation is and will try to correct it in this post:

    What I’m trying to realize is a “sharing button” for my own buddypress community. It will work like this:

    1. Someone who is on a site (A) wants to share the content of this site on my buddypress community (site B).
    2. For this he pushes a sharing button witch has to be implemented by the admin of this site (A) before
    3. When the user pushes the button he will be forwarded to a special site of my buddypress community
    4. Now it gets interesting: This special site ONLY has the “post-form” of buddypress
    What I mean with the “post-form” is the message box in the area “activity” in which you
    write down what you’re going to post (in source code called “whats-new-textarea”)
    5. The “post form” has now the link of site A included so that the user only has to push the “publish-button”

    So my question was how to create the “special site” with the “post form” on which I can forward the user.

    Thank you!

    Robert
