Buddypress Profile?

Hi there,

Really nice to see a simple and an awesome forum. Thanks a lot for that.

I just have one request. I want the all the profiles and members links to direct to Buddypress profiles.
Is that possible?

Thanks again!

Re: Buddypress Profile?
Glad you like it. Sorry to say but I have no intentions of integrating the forum with BuddyPress. Honestly I've used it only once, couldn't stand it so haven't used it since. If a third party programmer wanted to submit a patch or diff for me to include this feature that would be fine though.

Re: Buddypress Profile?

Thanks for your reply. I dont like Buddypress either. But ended up installing it and people have made their profiles as well. So I dont really want to disturb those profiles by replacing with something else.

There's no integration required as such. I just saw you have a define.php file.
All it needs to be done is replace the URL of the profile.
I dont know what the link to the profile is at the moment. I shall get it checked and let you know. I am a n00b, so I will need help in replacing the link

Re: Buddypress Profile?

I have the same question about this, Subrahmani. Did you ever find out how to redirect users to the buddypress profiles? I am working on a project right now that requires this. I have found that because Cartpauj's Mingle forum is so lightweight, it actually can be integrated into buddypress VERY easily.

But any luck, Sub???

Re: Buddypress Profile?

Nope. Not at all. I didnt bother to do it actually. I removed social networking completely off my website since I dont really require it.

You might have to just change the link in the define.php file of mingle forum.

Re: Buddypress Profile?
That's what i was thinking too. Just change the link. I gotta figure out what that link is on BP i suppose. Thanks for the immediate response!

Re: Buddypress Profile?
No probs. I tried looking for the link the profiles as well. Which is what made me lose hope and give up. At the moment I am at work and cant access Buddypress website. But I think there's a topic called "Buddypress Profile Link" on their forum where they are talking about the links. I think they still havent been able to figure it out.

Re: Buddypress Profile?
There's actually an entire function dedicated to getting the profile link as there are currently 3 possibilities. So adding buddypress would just complicate things even more. Unfortunately it's not just as simple as changing one link...it is possible though.

Re: Buddypress Profile?

I agree. Buddypress is crap, but is there a way to link the 'author link' to 'mingle profile' - I'm using ARRAS theme and it goes straight to the Author Template = where as I'd prefer it to go to the Mingle User Profile!

Buddypress also has 'posts to profile' plugin - which I think Mingle should have! - as for my site I get users to write posts..and of course I want them to be credited.
