Course Description
An online community is a great place for people with the same
interest to share their thought, experiences and stories with each
other. This course will teach you how to build a social network that
would allow your members to make friendship connections, to send
messages to each other, to share ideas and statuses on a site-wide
activity stream, and you will also learn how to create niche-related
groups to make your network even more interesting. You don't need to
have any former experience with Wordpress and/or Buddypress, which are
the platforms we will use in this course, since i show you how to use
them.
Course Structure
The course
is built in a "Learn by Watching" way, which is my favourite way of
teaching and learning. I simply show you where i click and how i do
everything on my screen, so you can see and imitate in your own system.
The
course will take about 2 hours to complete and i suggest you watch it
on a tablet if you own one, so you can put it besides your computer
while you work on your community website.
Here are the steps we will go through in this course:
- Website hosting - you will need one to get your platform online
- Wordpress installation
- Adding Wordpress (free) theme
- Learn Wordpress basics - content, menus, theme options, plugins, widgets
- Buddypress installation and configuration
- Network components and how to work with them
What kind of network will i learn to build
The
network you will build depends on your needs. I will give you all the
tools you can use in order to create a network with the most
possibilities Buddypress can provide, and it's yours to take what you
need from it. You can build a public community for anyone to join. You
can build a secret community for specific people with restricted content
to make sure it stays private. You can build a half-public half-private
community with the help of groups - where you can decide which ones are
public, which ones are restricted and which ones are even hidden from a
guest viewer.
I will teach you how to work with every component of
Buddypress, and you can decide which one you need and want to use. If
you don't want to let your members create friendship connections - you
can deactivate this option. If you don't need groups - don't use them.
If you don't want your members to be able to communicate through private
messages - just don't allow it. Buddypress is such a flexible platform
that you can really fit it to your needs and even change your
configurations with a click of a button later on if you decide you want
to add/remove a specific component.
