  • 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  • Beware of outdated plugins and themes.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.

  • 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 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.
