Authors: Deryk Wenaus, Boone Gorges, David Cartwright BuddyPress Group Email Subscription allows group members to receive email notifications for all types of group activity, especially forum posts. Each user can choose how they want to subscribe to the group. EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION LEVELS: There are 5 levels of email subscription options: No Email – Read this [...]
Today Ning announced that it would be ending its free social networking service. I tweeted something to the effect that this event is a wake-up call: When you use closed-source, third-party hosted solutions for something as valuable as community connections, you are leaving yourself open to the whims and sways of corporate boards. It’s not [...]
My BuddyPress function Invite Anyone has always been misleadingly named. It expanded on BuddyPress’s default setup, which only allows members to send group invitations to people who they’re friends with, by allowing individuals to send invitations to anyone in the entire installation. This only qualifies as inviting anyone on a, er, very austere ontology of [...]
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 [...]
The plugin Forum Attachments for BuddyPress has been the bane of my existence for some time. I have focused my awesomeness on taming the beast for BP 1.2. Still beta-ish – please test and report bugs, if you find any.
This plugin ives members the ability to upload attachments on their posts. It’s a port of a plugin originally created for bbPress by _ck_. See the original plugin page here: http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bb-attachments/. _ck_ is not supporting this plugin anymore. Insofar as the code works, it is thanks to her; insofar as it does not, it is [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
