WordPress › Import from Ning « WordPress Plugins - 0 views

  • What content will Import From Ning import? Import From Ning currently imports the following items from a Ning export: members, member profiles, member avatars, members comments (the "wall"), groups, discussions, and blogs. The plugin attempts to recognize inline images and copy them to the BuddyPress installation, so that you don't lose the images you've put in your blog posts.

Achievements | Forum | Change Displayed Description Length? | BuddyPress.org - 0 views

  • By default, bp_create_excerpt (found in /bp-core/bp-core-template.php) sets a default length of 225. The Achievements plugin calls it in achievements-templatetags.php, causing descriptions longer than 225 characters to be truncated. As a temp fix, I copied bp_create_excerpt over to bp-custom.php, increased the $length, renamed it my_bp_create_excerpt, and then renamed it within the Achievements plugin as well. (I’m sure there’s a better way to change the $length, but this works for now)

Linda Peng » Blog Archive » 10 Lessons I Learned from Designing an Online Com... - 0 views

  • 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.

  • 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  • Beware of outdated plugins and themes.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.
