buddypress community activity

shared by Vernon Fowler on 23 Aug 12 - No Cached
  • When creating a BuddyPress site you will probably do lots of testing before officially launching. If you’ve filled up your activity stream with test comments, you’ll want to dump it before opening the site to your community. There are a couple of ways to do this.

  • Another Alternative, with less features Ok,  Now for all of you who have yet not joined, buddydev Premium, well, you can use an alternative. Put this code in bp-custom.php and None of the site admin activity ime will be recorded.So if you are a site admin, you will never appear in the Who is Online/ recently active members widget. 12345add_action("plugins_loaded","bpdev_init_sm_mode");function bpdev_init_sm_mode(){if(is_site_admin())remove_action("wp_head","bp_core_record_activity");//id SM is on, remove the record activity hook}

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.

BuddyPress plugins speed performance how to community plugin

shared by Vernon Fowler on 11 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • 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.

  • our Moodle installation suddenly stopped working altogether one day, and we couldn’t repair upgrade to the latest version we were forced to end the Pilot Project and seek another solution – fast.

  • I recommend giving people single sign-on options using Twitter, Linkedin, OpenID, Livejournal, etc. as well as Facebook.
  • The rest of your target market still needs to be convinced to care about your community enough to join.
  • Make your homepage interesting enough to visit twice.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • There’s probably a reason Quora, Stackoverflow and most Ning networks all have news feeds on their front pages.
  • Clearly define your niche.
  • clearly define your site’s niche so that users will have an easier time understanding how your site adds value to their lives. For example, Quora is the social network where one gets their questions answered; Stackoverflow is a Q&A network for programmers; Linkedin is a specific network for jobhunting professionals. What specific need does your social network cater to?
  • Beware of outdated plugins and themes.
  • Look at the description closely and check to see if it’s been tested up to the WordPress version you’ve installed. If you’re unsure, search for the plugin forums (every WordPress plugin should have one) and see the latest praises or issues people are discussing on the threads.
  • If a new theme or plugin crashes your site, rename or delete it.
  • I recommend giving people single sign-on options using Twitter, Linkedin, OpenID, Livejournal, etc. as well as Facebook.
  • Your site needs an FAQ. No, really. It does. Although you personally might think that the activity feeds and groups and profile editing links are in the most obvious locations in the world, your users will not. They’re used to their own oft-frequented social networks (cough, Facebook), and  they’ll ask you why clicking on their avatar doesn’t automatically bring them to a “change your profile picture” page or if logging into your site using Facebook Connect will mean that everything they post will automatically get cross-posted to their Facebook wall. In addition, users want to know about your site features.

    I re-discovered my fascination with online community building around the time I subscribed to a shared hosting service, installed WordPress, discovered the Buddypress plugin, and stumbled upon open-source forums where people were amazingly helpfully about sharing troubleshooting tips and code.   This was last December. The discovery turned into an independent study I dubbed "Volunteerism in a Web 2.0 World," which turned into the development of a website and lots of meetings and several pages of an annotated bibliography - all of which I submitted to my Research in Practice Program (RIPP) advisor at the end of the semester.Over the course of my meetings with "stakeholders" (Duke students and administrators) to asses the value of the "website" (an online social network for Duke civic engagement), I learned a few things about designing an online community using WordPress and Buddypress.
