Awesone plugin. I just paid ye. 🙂

One (troublesome, but workable) solution would be to switch your WPMU site to WP. Realizing this could be a pain if you’re site is highly configured — but it *is* a possibility.

You were one step ahead of me. 🙂 I was just creating a group avatar. :p

@jeffsayre — i trust and get your concern w/ openid. That said, it’s hard to stop a moving train. I just don’t want to completely disregard all the motion going on elsewhere. So call me the healthy skeptic in the room — that should be a good thing, right? It just means that as we move […]

Oh — that’s marvelous — I don’t know why I never noticed this one before. Think of that. SVN repos for plugins. Nice.

This is an interesting read: http://factoryjoe.com/blog/2010/05/16/combing-openid-and-oauth-with-openid-connect/ @jeffsayre — what say ye on that one?

BTW, to answer your question more concisely, I am aware of Tim Berners-Lee’s vision (a more 3-dimensional web, if you will), and even have my own radical views of what that might entail.

@jeffsayre I’ve chatted on a few occasions w/ @djpaul about distributive technologies w/ regards to BuddyPress. (Actually, I talked w/ @apeatling & @johnjamesjacoby during WordCamp NYC 09 about some of the possibilities, too.) I would say I’m much more aware of the semantic protocols. I actually haven’t ever delved into the stack, but I’m excited…[Read more]

By the way, it is exciting to see more buzz about all this on BuddyPress — I just hope it doesn’t fizzle. This is one area of development that actually excites me enough to insert my skillz/experience and help it along. (I actually tried it once before, but kind of went about it the wrong […]

@jeffsayre @jackreichert @deltina etc. Can I just counterpoint? Chiming in here. I’m waiting for @apeatling to also talk more about this issue. Somebody mentioned DiSo. As I understood it, DiSo was more than just trying to systemically build distributed social networking out of WordPress or BuddyPress, but trying to do so through the establishment…[Read more]

Thanks for the link.

Found it! I love it when I answer my own questions. ;p There’s a whole commented-out section in the members-loop.php section that details how to do it. Lovely!

So’s to not modify other files, you can also serve it up through functions.php:

//serving up a different default avatar for members
function set_default_member_avatar($url) {
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .’/images/new_and_improved_avatar.png’;
}
add_filter(‘bp_core_mysteryman_src’, ‘set_default_member_avatar’);

See this URL for groups…[Read more]

ugh, it didn’t insert my code… let me try that again…

bp_profile_field_data(‘field=Biography’);
