BP album plugin needs an update to fix

Plugin developer needs to update plugin.

http://make.wordpress.org/core/2012/12/12/php-warning-missing-argument-2-for-wpdb-prepare/

Hello thank you for letting me know that my website had the same problem ronanparkefanclub.com/social

I have just fixed my problem. It may only be temporary but its worked. You need access to your WP-CONFIG.PHP file. I access mine through cpanel. Then on line 2 insert the following

@ini_set(‘log_errors’,'On’);
@ini_set(‘display_errors’,'Off’);

Should also work for you

We’ve already forked significant parts of WordPress, and it’s our eventual goal to have BP-Media able to operate without WordPress installed on the server at all (although still be able to interact with it if it is).

As for progress on BP-Media, we’ve started releasing blocks of code as individual plugins as they get completed:

https://github.com/WP-Razor

https://github.com/WP-Hydra

https://github.com/FoxFire

https://github.com/WP-Generator

https://github.com/BPM-Themes

https://github.com/BP-Media/test-content

..so, overall I’d say there’s been a fair bit of progress on BP-Media …

Complain as you will about the build time, we’re not releasing the next version of BP-Media until it works efficiently and reliably, has been thoroughly tested, and is properly documented.

If the WordPress team had our level of discipline, 90% of their so-called releases wouldn’t be necessary.

Hi,

Discovered this conversation just now. I’m from the team that develops buddypress media mentioned by @rickkumar.

Now, I’m not getting into the comparison game. Our plugin is not thoroughly tested, till now. We decided to get our hands dirty, early, so we could use user feedback and community involvement, faster.

Now that our plugin’s vision is getting aligned with real users, we are in the process of restructuring. Ours is much smaller in size and doesn’t boast of a host of features or an amazing ui. But, it is out there, available and being improved upon continuously, with live user feedback.

You can see this evolution in our support forums http://rtcamp.com/support/forum/buddypress-media/, http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/buddypress-media and on github https://github.com/rtCamp/buddypress-media/issues .

It does everything it promises to do, manage media and it does it well. The roadmap is present here: https://rtcamp.com/buddypress-media/roadmap/. Won’t comment on the other plugin. I’m already intruding.

Now as for the error, the WordPress explanation cited by @modemlooper, is fairly simple and straightforward. When there is no filtering needed, a function like wpdp_prepare must fail. So WordPress is just putting things right. It broke our code, but we spent a little time doing find and replace for the function and corrected it.

@foxly can’t really disagree with your emotion. Often been tempted to go that way, decrease the dependency on WordPress. However, for the sake of lightness and tight functionality, and because that helps us debug the cores, WordPress and BuddyPress, themselves, we’ve stuck to using default wp functionality for as much as possible.

I hope that helps this conversation.

Regards.

@foxly Ha, ha! You are a clever one.

3 reasons why that can’t be done:

1. Our vision for the plugin is pretty much in contrast to yours, won’t work nice.
2. We bake our own bread, we eat our own dog food! What we write is closely tied with what we need, too.
3. If we compete instead, both the teams will be forced to outdo each other. That equals to two very good plugins, two options for users, two alternative ways of doing similar things. That’ll work out well for all of us, including users, I believe.

That being said, we are a commercial organisation (rtCamp Solutions Pvt Ltd) and such community projects satisfy our vested interests:

* of giving back to the community that helps us earn our bread (and butter ),
* interaction with the community,
* developing our skills and knowledge.

I don’t think, we can give that up, easily. Best of luck for your plugin, though!

Cheers!
