buddypress education educators community

shared by Vernon Fowler on 02 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Build a professional learning community platform to help educators engage in conversation, share innovative ideas, discover and curate useful resources, document successful practices, and apply them in their own classrooms and schools.
  • Support and sustain continuity between in-person meetings and professional development opportunities. Help new constituents get up to speed and become valuable, active partners in learning communities.
  • drafted policies for user-generated content
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • After having tried nearly every plugin option (and combination), I settled on WP Types & Views (now called WP-Toolset), which allowed me to rapidly prototype and improve data structures. Then, I used Gravity Forms to create front-end forms to prompt educators to organize and classify their recommended resources.
  • This work has only just begun, but WP-Toolset has provided all the features we’ve needed; indeed it can be compared favorably with the Blocks, Views, Panes, and Panels modules and functions for Drupal.

Best Practices for Preventing BuddyPress Spam User Registrations | Wptuts+ - 0 views

best practices buddypress spam preventing

shared by Vernon Fowler on 18 Sep 12 - No Cached
  • The first level of security is to change the footer text to remove mentions of WordPress and BuddyPress. Spammers target the words “proudly powered by WordPress and BuddyPress” in search engines to find sites they can compromise.
  • In BuddyPress, the default URL for the registration page is “http:/yoursitedomain.com/register”. This is why spambots include the “insite:register” when performing the search described in the above section. Make it harder for them to find your site by easily changing the default slug for BuddyPress in your wp-config.php file.
  • We use the honeypot technique to thwart spambots and it has worked pretty well from our experience. I didn’t invent the idea, but I built this implementation for BuddyPress and it works like a champ.
  • ...4 more annotations...

  • All you need to do is set the slug for the registration page that has been created. If you’re on BuddyPress 1.5+ that is.
  • It enables you to block IP addresses and even entire domains from accessing your site, a very useful thing to do against known bots trying to create fake BuddyPress user accounts.
  • Be wary of trying every single security plugin under the sun, as this slows down your site and adds to your maintenance workload by having more things to update and go through if something breaks. At first, stick to the highest rated ones that have proven themselves over time with a lot of users. One such plugin, which is highly recommended by many BuddyPress and WordPress users, is Bad Bahavior. This plugin will not only block a lot of spam, but will make your site invisible to many bots in the first place and thereby prevent fake registrations.

BuddyPress design development theme themes

shared by Vernon Fowler on 23 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • This guide is for building themes for BuddyPress 1.2 and above.
  • The default BuddyPress theme is not located in the usual /wp-content/themes/ directory. It is stored in the BuddyPress plugin folder
  • Note the “Template:” entry, which tells WordPress that we want to use the BuddyPress default theme (bp-default) as the parent theme
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • your own theme is in /wp-content/themes/
  • and the tag “buddypress”
  • to inherit the CSS, in BP 1.5+, you don’t have to do anything!  Just start writing your new styles in style.css and skip to section 3
  • copy this file and paste it directly into your child theme’s folder (the same place as your style.css file)
  • if you want to override a template file that is in a sub folder, you must also recreate the sub folder in your child theme
  • There is one exception to the template override rule — functions.php.

  • create a folder called bpge in the root of your theme
  • copy required file (that you want to modify) from this plugin folder wp-content/plugins/buddypress-groups-extras/views/front to that created in a theme. That is it - now the plugin uses the template from your theme.
  • Vernon Fowler on 02 Jul 13
     
    "Starting from BPGE v3.6 you can now change the html that is used to display any content in front-end (in groups) right from your theme folder. This is useful if you want to change the way pages and fields are displayed, but it works for "Admin -> Extras" management pages as well. "

  • bp-custom.php is often compared to your theme’s functions.php file. However, there are two primary differences between bp-custom.php and your theme’s functions.php.
  • bp-custom.php runs from the /wp-content/plugins/ folder and is therefore independent from your theme. This is useful for adding code snippets that are BuddyPress-specific. Also, this code will always load regardless of what theme you are using.
  • bp-custom.php runs early in the BuddyPress-loading process. This allows you to override various settings in BuddyPress.

How to improve BuddyPress speed and performance | BuddyBoss - The Ultimate BuddyPress T... - 0 views

BuddyPress plugins speed performance how to community plugin

  • Hyper Cache is specifically written for people who have their sites on low resource hosting providers. This plugin will make an enormous speed improvement and is recommended instead of other similar plugins such as WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache. It will work better with BuddyPress and is quite simple to set up.
  • The problem was with the DB Cache Reloaded plugin. Not only would the notifications not go away but when individuals submitted anything on a wall or activity stream, this would not be published for several minutes. When I removed the DB Cache Reloaded plugin, the problem went away!
  • However, every additional plugin you install will need to request information from your database and the cumulative effect of having dozens of plugins is that your site will slow down. Use only the plugins that you actually need. Try to remove the rest.

  • This Conditional Tag checks if the user is visiting using a mobile device. This is a boolean function, meaning it returns either TRUE or FALSE.

    Nice to use in bp-custom.php rather than functions.php - especially when using the BuddyMobile plugin from @modemlooper
