    Hi Gregor,
    Please upgrade to 1.2.8
    I have just pushed the update. It allows site admins to update other users settings. Earlier version had issues with this feature.

    I am not sure how the admin feature was working earlier, but we have got it now. Please upgrade and let me know if that works for you or not?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Thank you for explaining. If that is the case, Here is a small strategy on how to accomplish it.

    1. Project:- A post type suits better. Allows us to use post meta for skills and other projects related information. Use template to generate a layout for showing single project(post type page). You can create a custom form for adding project specific details.

    2. Member Type:- Suits for categorizing the user. A consideration will be whether to allow a user to be both author/sponsor or not? Whether you allow both or not( If you allow both, you will need to allow a user to have multiple member type, BuddyPress allows it), Member type is highly suitable here. It will allow you to have different lists for both type of user and differentiate between them.

    3. Activity integration:- Since we are using post type for project, It will be simple to integrate with activity.

    4. Communication:- Will they use private message to communicate or will you need per project dashboard/messages.

    That is first strategy. Another strategy will be to use Group as project and customize it to allow adding skills etc.

    The approach will depend on how much time & sill you are going to put into the site. Please do let me know which way you intend to go 🙂

    Hi Lyrics,
    My concern is the accounting related to funds. Except that everything else can be done easily with BuddyPress.

    Since you are going to allow funding of projects, you will need some way to manage the records for all the transactions and that is the one thing that will take the custom work.

    If you have a solution for that, Other things are easy to do.

    Thank you. I am doing some check. I had hardened the admin edit to avoid this issue but will certainly be looking at it now.

    Will get back to you later today.

    Hi Joshua,
    Thank you.

    After going through the requirement I believe It is a little bit complx than what I had originally post.

    Here is what I understand now.

    1. We need to create multiple boxes(dropdown items)
    2. We need to allow associating these dropdown(s) to specific forums

    3. Show & save it.

    The first step means we need to create some type of repeatable field.

    When do you need this functionality?

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Lyrics,
    Welcome to BuddyDev forums.

    In my personal view, I believe that your project will be better if you look for crowdfunding themes & plugins. It can be done with BuddyPress but it will be too much custom work.

    Instead, I will suggest first choosing a crowdfunding solution( theme+plugin ) and then if needed integrate BuddyPress.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi,
    Sorry I have been not able to reply properly.
    That seems the problem.

    Had you modified the privacy of galleries from admin earlier or from user profile(The update that changed the ownership)?

    It is a mistake if the ownership is getting changed, I will push the fix as soon as I know from where had you updated the gallery. Most probably this should be the front end not the wp admin page.

    Hi Joshua,
    I just had a look. It is easily doable.

    Do you want it to be per forum setting?

    We can use post meta to define the label/keys and show it on the front end post screen for thread. When a Thread is posted, The key can be added as the tag(as in the other site) and the label will be prefixed to the topic title.

    Do you think that is something that will help you?
