wonderful!
i had same problem … now fixed

This is where I am stuck as well. I have no idea what is suppose to go in the “blah” I am also guessing that “http://mydomain.com” means I suppose to put my own url ? Just a clear example would do it.

Here’s the clearest example I can think of:

1) If your site uses CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS for each user (username1.yoursite.com, username2.yoursite.com, etc) AND you are having file path mapping problems, there is currently no work-around for 0.1.8 …although version 0.1.9 should work properly for you, once we get it released.

Even with version 0.1.9, you should only use custom subdomains if you have a really, really good reason to. Subdomains require *2* DNS server look-ups, and give slower page load times as a result. Your users will find the site slower, AND you will also get penalized for slow page load times by Google and other search engines.

===================

2) If your site DOES NOT USE CUSTOM SUBDOMAINS, here’s how to use the URL re-mapping function:

a) You need to find the directory that WordPress is saving bp-media’s items to. It’s usually something like “/wp-content/uploads/album”. Note that the directory will not be created until you upload your first item.

b) Paste “http://www.yourdomain.com” + “upload directory” into the “Base URL” box. Example: “http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/album” note that there is NO trailing slash.

c) Set “Use image URL re-mapping” to “Yes”

d) Click “Save”.

Done.

Note that this will not fix activity stream images. We will try for that in another maintenance release, otherwise it will come out in version 0.1.9.

Thanks!

I have the same problem with the activity stream not working – great plugin otherwise – when is 0.1.9 due for beta release. I seem to recall seeing somewhere that you were aiming for 16 Dec 2010 – or is that wishful thinking…
