Group Announcements tab in BuddyPress

13-Jan-11

Cross-posted at the CUNY Academic Commons Development blog I had a request or two to explain how I built the Group Announcements feature on the CUNY Academic Commons. Here goes. Brief background: When the Commons was upgraded to BuddyPress 1.2, we got the benefit of interactive activity streams everywhere, including groups. This caused some confusion, [...]

New BuddyPress plugin: BP Group Reviews

17-Nov-10

I’m working on a project that needs to allow users to leave reviews of groups, kinda like buddypress.org does with plugins. So, with Andy’s permission, I cleaned up, packaged, and extended his code into a new plugin, BP Group Reviews. It allows users to leave a star rating and a text review of any group [...]

BP Group Reviews

17-Nov-10

BP Group Reviews adds a new tab to your BuddyPress groups, where users can leave reviews and star ratings for the group. The guts of the plugin were written by Andy Peatling for use on the Extend section of buddypress.org. I adapted and expanded the code into this plugin, and I’ll be maintaining it. All [...]

New BuddyPress plugin: BuddyPress Group Email Subscription

12-May-10

I’m quite happy to announce the release of a more-or-less stable (we hope!) version of BuddyPress Group Email Subscription, a BuddyPress plugin that allows for fine-grained, user-controllable email subscription to group content in BuddyPress. This plugin is different from some of my others in that it was truly a group endeavor. The base of the [...]

Group Forum Subscription for BuddyPress

26-Mar-10

This plugin allows users to subscribe to email notifications of forum activity in their BuddyPress groups. Use of this plugin for versions of BuddyPress 1.2 and higher is not recommended. New plugins, such as Group Activity Notifications, are more general (encompassing all group activity instead of just forums) and are built with BP 1.2 in [...]

New BuddyPress plugin: BP Group Management

04-Mar-10

Another day, another plugin for BuddyPress. In BP < 1.2, it was impossible for site admins to manage group membership in groups where they weren’t also the local admin. This is good in a lot of situations, but in some applications of BP it can be a pain – the system administrator needs more power [...]

New BuddyPress / bbPress plugin: Group Forum Subscription

30-Sep-09

BuddyPress and bbPress can be plugged into each other such that BuddyPress groups get their own discussion forums, which are powered by bbPress. Adding Burt Adsit’s bpGroups means that private and hidden groups can have their discussion forums private too. But a major hurdle is email notification: Certain kinds of BP communities simply won’t get [...]
