    Great idea, but I can’t get the plugin to work :( f I hover over the avatar nothing shows up… no text no bubble.
    Using wordpress 2.9.2 with bp 1.2.4.1

    Cheers

    Do you use it on a live site?
    Where is BP installed – on a domain, subdomain or subfolder?

    @Slaffik Once again! Fantastic work on this little plugin. :)

    @Rainman, the Avatar Bubble will not show up if you are running your site on a localhost, in order to get it to work properly on a localhost you need to change a line of code.

    In the wp-content/plugins/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/_inc/bubble.js on line 50, it is currently:

    url: ‘/wp-content/plugins/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/ajax.php’,

    Change it to:
    url: ‘http://localhost/yourwebsite/wp-content/plugins/cd-bp-avatar-bubble/ajax.php’,

    Where it says “yourwebsite” change it to the folder name that your site is found in on the localhost
    And there we go, it should work on the localhost.

    @slaFFik @thelandman … OK I’ll try to explain… I actually use it on a live site and my site is in root folder… ( http://www.fotografija.ba ) … first I thought the bubble not showing up is a result of heavy editing of my theme, so I installed a fresh buddypress in root /test … no lucky with this too (and yes I’ve put /test in front or ajax url on line 50). Then I went one step further and as thelandman suggested I edited line 50 in ajax.php and “hardcoded” my url but nothing happend. I really have no clue what could cause the problem. Maybe custom profile fields? btw. I checked only Name to show up.

    Cheers

    @Rainman is the plugin currently enabled on your site? If not, enable it and let me know, I’ll check it out for you. There could be something screwing with the ajax and java.

    @thelandman OK, I’ve enabled the plugin again, I’m glad if you could check it out.
    thanks for your effort

    @blacktattoo I’m on it. I’ll check it out in an hour or so. I’m at the office working so I shouldn’t really be on buddypress.org at all. ;)

    @blacktattoo Have you modified this file at all http://fotografija.ba/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js ?

    Try download a fresh copy of Buddypress 1.2.4.1 from buddypress.org then unzip it and copy /wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js from that newly unzipped BP and overwrite http://fotografija.ba/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js on your server.

    Each time I hover over an avatar I seem to get an error which is found in the http://fotografija.ba/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js.

    Hello again, thanks for taking time regarding my issue. Now, I didn’t made any changes to WP or BP core files but I still gave your solution a try. OK, I did everything you said, except that jquerry.js is found in WP installation not BP, but I got the point ;) I downloaded fresh WP 2.9.2 overwritten the old jquery.js file with the new one, but nope… nothing happens. No poppup :( Maybe it’s some kind of server limitation or something similar, but honestly there’s a little chance for that being the reason because my provider doesn’t put any apache or php limitations, all other plugins work just fine.
    Apparently I need to be patient and wait for the 1.0 to come out. Maybe it will solve my bug. If you have any ideas what could be wrong , please let me know. ;)

    thanks man!

    Please all, download plugin and unzip in the same folder one more time. I’ve made 2 changes in 0.9 that could possibly solve some issues.
    I need your feedback.

    OK now the bubble box is showing but there are only two fields in the bubble: @usernames (shows username) | Private message… all other fields are not visible. In fact I can not see them under admin menu… here are two screenshots, my english is bad so it’s easier to show it :)

    Admin menu : custom fields not recognized… empty (disappeared after the update)

    I’m getting the same blank list in admin area as above.
    WPMU2.9.2+BP1.2.3

  • Profile picture of SlaFFik SlaFFik said 1 year, 11 months ago:

    Update please to 0.9.1.
    I did changes in the night so was tired and missed some code. Sorry for inconvenience.

  • Profile picture of luccame luccame said 1 year, 11 months ago:

    just upgraded to 0.9.1 and now the bubble works fine for me. Thanks @slaFFik

    Upgraded, everything works fine :) thanks @slaFFik
    Now, I have a small sugestion. If it’s possible, there should be at least about 5 seconds “hover time” – time needed for cursor to be pointed over a thumbnail, so you don’t get the bubbles popped out every time you “hit” an avatar while moving your pointer across the web page – it gets really annoying and prevents reading of posts and forum activity. I think this is really important!
    Apart from that, great plugin, keep the good work! ;)
