Anyone use BUDDYPRESS before?
Lets your site users create profiles.
Could it for example allow the users to post up their own submissions to the site. Not via the wordpress admin though, can you control what they post with specific fields they had to fill in.e.g
title, description, link to video
and then this would appear as content on the site in a template style (so they cant fuck up the site).
?
- I'm working on site at the moment using bp with user submitted content using front end forms - USP Pro plugin.Xopher
- Normal Wordpress can do all you need to do. Buddypress creates a social network not unlike Facebook. If you want jus that functionality I would stick to core WPfadein11
- Custom post type plus Advanced custom fields.fadein11
- Look into custom post types - there's a good plugin for them if you don't want to code them then create custom fields using ACF plugin then create a templatefadein11
- for displaying that custom post.fadein11
- Thanks for those little snippets of info. Was just wanting to know if possible. Good to know it is. Project is in talks at the moment. I wont be building.microkorg
- Think do want BuddyPress though so that users can create profile pages and such.microkorg
- Ah okay - but this is all possible within core Wordpress - all users have a profile on the author page - you just need to add more fields as required.fadein11
- author.php. but yes if you want facebook style profile then BP is prob what you need. A huge amount of styling involved with BP so cost that in.fadein11
- Gravity Forms can submit to a draft post (or custom post type), with custom fields.Nathan_Adams
- The theme ive bought has BP styling already certainly for some pages :)microkorg
