Wbcom Designs – BuddyPress Member Reviews vs TDLC Birthdays

The BuddyPress Member Reviews plugin enhances the BuddyPress community by empowering registered users to post reviews on other members’ profiles. This feature is exclusive to registered members, preventing users from reviewing their profiles to ensure unbiased feedback. The plugin provides guests a view-only mode, where they can read reviews but not contribute. This plugin offers a customizable review form that supports multiple criteria, each rated up to 5 points. Administrators can add or modify these criteria and adjust their sequence to suit the community’s needs. The review form seamlessly integrates into a member’s profile page for easy access and can also be displayed on other pages using a shortcode, providing versatility in placement. The BuddyPress Member Reviews plugin introduces a widget to showcase top-rated members. This encourages quality contributions within the community and helps foster a competitive and engaging environment. We’ve designed this plugin with reliability, scalability, security, and flexibility, ensuring a user-friendly experience that can grow and adapt to your community. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we welcome any suggestions to enhance this plugin further. Links Plugin URL – Learn more about the BuddyPress Member Reviews plugin.

Update: I’ve revamped the plugin and improved it’s security, performance and styling. And also, I’m in the middle of adding a feature to send out Birthday Emails to members. You will see that I’ve created a settings page, and also most of the code has been created. However, I’ve ran out of time to get this completed, for now, and thought I’d send out the updated plugin, as it’s now significantly improved. This is a Plugin that creates a multi-instance ‘Birthdays’ Widget that you can use in your Buddypress pages. Once you’ve created a datebox field in the Buddypress profiles and referenced it in the TLDC Birthdays widget settings, the widget will display the list of either all BP users or just the connected user’s friends whose birthday is today and also, if you like, the list of upcoming birthdays within the next n days. Plugin now supports Andy Peatling’s Buddypress Followers plugin when installed, so that you can also track the birthdays of people you follow. So to sum up, in order to get things to work, you’ll need : A birthday field in the Buddypress extended profile settings Users to fill it out in their profiles The TDLC Birthdays widget properly installed and set up (see Installation) Features : Display only friends, or followed people (if BuddyPress Followers plugin is installed), or everybody’s birthday Display upcoming birthdays within a range of your choice, or just today’s birthdays Hide or show ages Optionally suggest your users to fill out their birth date if not already done Multiple widget instances now supported ! Remarks: Localized! Currently English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish languages are included. Many thanks to the translators! Sounds obvious but in “display friends only” mode, as you only see your friend’s birthdays, you wont see your own birthday in the widget. This does not mean that your friends don’t see it either! Same thing goes with the Followers option. Settings In order to get the widget working, you need to fill out the Birthday field Name (or ID). The Birthday field must have been previously created in the Buddypress profile page (and it should be a datebox type field). Of course, the users must also fill it out on their profile pages… The other settings are self-explanatory (or at least I hope so). Known Issues Some translations are incomplete. The new strings related to the ‘Followers’ plugin support added in v0.2.5 is not translated yet except for French and English. If you find any other bugs or want to request some additional features for future releases (which I may consider if I’ve got time), please post a comment on the plugin homepage.
