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 [...]
This plugin creates an admin panel at Dashboard > BuddyPress > Group Management. On this panel, site admins can manage BP group membership by banning, unbanning, promoting and demoting current members of any group, adding new members to any group, and deleting groups.
Requires BP 1.2 or higher. If you’re running a 1.1.x version of BP, [...]
I wrote a BuddyPress plugin today that is very ugly. It imports activity into BuddyPress from blog posts and comments that occurred before you had BuddyPress installed. It’s ugly because it’s sloppily coded and extremely inefficient and likely to hit PHP memory limits every time you run it. But it does the job, so I [...]
This plugin adds two widgets to your WordPress MU/BuddyPress installation: Groups and Members. Use them instead of the Groups and Members widgets that ship with BuddyPress. They provide the ability to select which of the three tabs – Newest, Active, or Popular – will be the widget’s default view.
Download the plugin here.
Enhanced BuddyPress Widgets has [...]
In the past I and others have experienced some problems with the way that More Privacy Options for WPMu interacts with BuddyPress – or, to be more exact, with the way that the two don’t recognize each other. Blogs marked as private via MPO were getting plastered all over the public activity streams. In the [...]
More Privacy Options is a plugin for WPMu that allows blog owners to fine-tune their blog’s privacy settings, expanding on the default privacy settings offered in the WP core. Putting this plugin together with BuddyPress has been problematic, however, because BuddyPress is not built to recognize the new privacy settings defined by MPO. As a [...]
BuddyPress’s default configuration only allows you to invite another member to a group if you have already become friends with that member. This plugin, called Invite Anyone, allows group admins invite anyone from the installation, not just friends.
Because membership rosters can get very long and difficult to scan via BP’s default checkbox lists, I’ve also [...]
I wrote a plugin this afternoon that solves a small but potentially annoying limitation of BuddyPress: its inability to show comments from non-members in the sitewide activity stream. In a streak of extreme creativity, I dubbed the plugin “BP Include Non-Member Comments”. Read more about it, and download it for your own use, here.
By default, BuddyPress does not include comments from non-members (or non-logged-in users more generally) in the sitewide activity stream. This plugin records activity items for those comments.
The plugin has been tested on version 1.1.3 of BP, as well as the 1.2 release candidate. If you want to use the plugin for 1.1.3 or lower, you [...]
Last week, in the post where I announced my new WPMU plugin Shared Blogroll, I briefly mentioned the use case that I had in mind, which was of course education-focused. Yesterday and today I did some more work on the plugin itself (MORE AJAX 4EVA) and some of the supporting players. I thought I’d spell [...]
