Cooking with BuddyPress

Published

on

I’m sitting downstairs at WordCamp 2009 in San Fransisco. Up on stage right now, Andy Peatling creator of BuddyPress.

BuddyPress Notes

Why BuddyPress:

  • BYOTOS ( Bring Your Own Terms Of Service )
  • Custom branding
  • Existing plugins ( WordPress plugin integration + BP specific plugins )
  • University Intranet
    • Profile
    • Activity Streams + LDAP login plugin
    • Blog tracking + More Privacy plugin
    • Comment wires + Privacy group plugin
    • Content groups
  • BuddyPress allows you to choose your components ( pic )
  • Built in social widgets
  • bbPress integration ( will become easier in the up coming versions ) —Andy 5/30/09

Extending BuddyPress

  • BuddyPress is as extensible as WordPress
  • All BuddyPress components are coded and structured the same way
  • BuddyPress functions allow you to talk to the theme

I tried to keep up with it all, but was also writing and editing my site. For more, ask questions!
