My first major BuddyPress project

Hi everyone – I wanted to show off a Buddypress project that was launched with a designer, using the Buddypress platform: http://www.secretsocietyofwomen.com We use a heavily skinned child theme, changing some basic UI elements, which I’m happy to answer any questions about. As Buddypress was built and designed by developers, it definitely has a lot of developer-familiar UI elements, which had to be simplified for the demographic…See More

Gay Travellers Network replied to Ernie H.'s discussion A BP Creators type Network for Ning -> BP NCs? in the group BuddyPress Network Creators
"Outside of blogs, the text editing side of BuddyPress isn't as good as Ning - adding a screenshot, for example, isn't as easy as it is here. The plugin which adds a toolbar like the one in these comment boxes (without the add image button)…"

Gay Travellers Network replied to Ernie H.'s discussion A BP Creators type Network for Ning -> BP NCs? in the group BuddyPress Network Creators
"No, it's not because of that - and given the importance of plugins in shaping a network, that's a good aspect. I think it's because the BP community is steeped in code, and expects people to be able to nip in and out of php files…"

A BP Creators type Network for Ning -> BP NCs?

So here's a question that I'll put up into the ether -- would it make sense if someone (possibly me) created a Buddypress network specifically created towards people who have migrated their Ning Network to Buddypress? Or do you guys already use other community sites out there where this isn't much of an issue for you guys?- ErnieSee More

Ernie H. replied to Gay Travellers Network's discussion Upgrading to 1.2.4 in the group BuddyPress Network Creators
"Yikes; upgrading my development servers of BP seem to work okay, but it's not a production server yet so everything seemed to work alright. Incidentally, did you disable the plug-ins before upgrading to a new version of Buddypress?"

Hi Ernie,

So glad to find someone else attempting to wrestle the Buddypress giant into obedience (grin) ..

Please share any wisdom ... I am trying to create a start up site..learn what I can before I move my Ning group. So practice is valuable. The challenge is.. I am stuck... I have gone as far as I can without "fresh eyes".. I would welcome someone to just answer a few questions and help me see what I am missing.

Thanks

David

Love your site btw - - very cool.

Great attitude Ernie. They're probably not too thrilled with me right now. I let them know today how I felt about the past 2 1/2 days of instability, and so little status reporting to their NCs. I wasn't horrible, but sure didn't candy-coat it. ;-) And I'll leave it at that.

I'm totally excited to hear you're doing a deep-dive into BuddyPress. I've dabbled in it just recently. That's my next big move, learning BP to the max. I love what I see so far. I would love it if you would add your notes on JenSocial. That would be awesome. In fact, if you ever find the time or inclination, I can't think of a better Expert Blogger. See the Group here. It's a brand new thing. I want to start inviting Experts in the field of Social Media, to blog on the site.

BTW, did you see I've started over with the redirect: JenSocial.com? That's so hard for me Ernie, after working for the 50k Alexa and Google PR 4. Oh well, it had to be done. :-)

Take care and let me know if you ever need anything.

Best,
Jen
